Read and translate the text

Finishing school is the beginning of an independent life for millions of school graduates. Many roads are open before them. But it is not an easy thing to choose a profession out of more than the 2000 existing in the world.

Out of the more than three million students who graduate from high school each year, about one million go on for “higher education”. Simply by being admitted into one of the most respected universities in the United States, a high school graduate achieves a degree of success. A college at a leading university might receive applications from two percent of these high school graduates, and then accept only one out of every ten who apply.

Successful applicants at such colleges are usually chosen on the basis of:

  1. high school records;

  2. recommendations from high school teachers;

  3. the impression they make during interviews at the university;

  4. their scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT).
