incoming vs. upcoming
辨析：在留学文书里，这两个词都会被经常用来描述一种未来有极大可能发生的状态。区别在于incoming一般接物理上到来的事物(freshman, missile, ship)，而upcoming一般接抽象事件(book*, project, visit)。
*指书籍的出版
例句：
For now, their goal is to publicize it with incoming freshmen and returning upperclassmen in hopes it will spread across U-Md.' s campus.
Simon says current and upcoming projects include in-depth studies of each ecoregion.
