為什么要寫附屬文書？

學(xué)校在評(píng)定申請(qǐng)者能力的時(shí)候，不會(huì)像研究生那樣將主要的考察點(diǎn)放在申請(qǐng)者的學(xué)術(shù)能力上，相反更多的關(guān)注目光在申請(qǐng)者的綜合能力上面。而這些點(diǎn)通過什么來考察呢？就是千變?nèi)f化的各種essay正是讓學(xué)校了解申請(qǐng)者的綜合能力與與眾不同的閃光點(diǎn)的有效渠道。學(xué)校希望能夠從申請(qǐng)者的essay中了解大家的興趣愛好，對(duì)待事物的觀點(diǎn)看法，背景經(jīng)歷等等諸多方面的信息。首先大家要先懂得附屬文書存在的重要意義，這樣才能更加深入地去了解文書題目背后的真正含義。 >>點(diǎn)擊約談陶玉婷老師

文書中的奇葩題目大放送

1. Stanford University

斯坦福大學(xué)的文書題目里，需要你用50個(gè)單詞描述如果有機(jī)會(huì)親身見證一次著名的歷史事件的話，你希望那是什么事件。這主要考察申請(qǐng)者的是反思他們的成長過程中有哪些思想和經(jīng)歷對(duì)他們產(chǎn)生了重大影響。

Virtually all of Stanford's undergraduates live on campus. Write a note to your future roommate that reveals something about you or that will help your roommate -- and us -- know you better. (100 to 250 words)

斯坦福還要求學(xué)生給未來的室友寫一封信，以幫助室友和學(xué)校進(jìn)一步了解你，字?jǐn)?shù)限定在100-250之間。這看上去是一個(gè)宏觀的主題，但其實(shí)核心就是：對(duì)于你來說什么是最重要的，為什么它是最重要的？

在《愛情的藥》中，作家、76屆校友路易斯·埃爾德里奇的寫道：“表弟，社會(huì)就像這局撲克牌。在我們出生之前，我們已經(jīng)被發(fā)好了牌，隨著我們的成長，我們必須盡可能地打好這副牌。”描述你的“手牌”，并反思你是如何打這副牌的。

文書中的一些常規(guī)套路

附屬文書中常見的類型有 why essay，community essay 和activity/experience essay，這些常見的文書類型，小伙伴們想來也不難摸到學(xué)校想要挖掘的點(diǎn)。其次我在整理時(shí)還看到了許多學(xué)校都在考察申請(qǐng)者關(guān)于書籍，刊物和其他藝術(shù)作品的理解與看法，其實(shí)也是考察大家的閱讀能力，這也就難怪每年各大學(xué)都在積極地分享各種書單讓大家去整理和閱讀。所以我們也整理了一些學(xué)校關(guān)于這方面的文書題目供大家參考： >>請(qǐng)?zhí)沼矜美蠋熤笇?dǎo)美國名校留學(xué)申請(qǐng)
