关于美国留学申请书

  留学申请的材料中,申请书是必不可少的。YJBYS小编为大家搜集了一篇关于“美国留学申请书”的材料,供大家参考借鉴。

关于美国留学申请书

  一、美国留学申请的文书,一般分为两种:公共文书(Common Personal Essays)和指定文书(Supplement Essays)。

  1、公共文书,又称为大文书,指的是绝大部分学校采用的网络公共申请系统(Common App)内五选一的题目,由于题目公开且每年固定,较容易准备。但是名校除了公共文书之外,通常会有额外的指定文书,也称小文书,并且每年题目有可能变化,较难提前准备,而且绝大部分的学生都没有给予足够的重视,往往短时间之内仓促完成,内容与质量上与大文书无法相匹配,而这又恰好是美国大学招办所关注的重点,所以大大影响了录取结果。

  2、指定文书,对于美国名校的申请有着非常重要的意义,但这恰恰是大多数中国申请者最头疼的 问题。大多数中国内地学生,在思维的发散性及创造性上显得不足,因此在指定文书写作上,难有能让招生官眼前一亮的创新想法或深刻见解。“不少条件都很优秀的学生,面对心仪学校很难的指定文书题目,往往望而却步,甚至放弃申请,十分可惜。”

  很多学生把大量时间和精力放在主文书上,等到12月15日ED/EA没有录取才开始准备常规申请(RD)学校的小文书。而小文书的数量根据所选 学校的不同有所差异,但通常不少于5篇,甚至超过10篇,加上小文书的难度逐年提高,且时间有限,匆忙之下要完成数量多难度大的小文书,内容和质量都难以 保证。

  在常规申请截止日前,就要同时完成公共文书和多篇指定文书。在接下来一个半月之 内的申请文书工作压力之大, 远非一般人能想象。加上文书是展示学生综合素质和能力的主要方式,因此在此提醒大家一定要仔细认真创作文书,保质保量。

  二、优秀的美国本科申请文书怎样写?

  优秀的美国本科申请文书怎样写?过去,文书写作都习惯将学生获得的奖项作为成就来呈现。随着申请美国名校的“奇人”越来越多,奖项的地位变得复杂莫测,得到荣誉、金牌等未必就能给进名校增加砝码,关键还在于呈现荣誉时如何做到出奇制胜。

  意涵、思维与动情之间的平衡

  申请者普遍认为,文书写作要“以情动人”,打动审核委员才能成功进入名校。而在学美13年来的.成功案例中,没有一位学生是因为文章的辞藻华丽或情节感人才被录取,撰写自身经历最重要的是充分挖掘其中的“意涵”。

  专家解释,比如斯坦福大学喜欢“领导力”,那么学生在文书写作时应该不仅仅抛出一个学生会或社会团体干部的领导经验或最终得奖结果,重点在于如何表达出自己具备领导者“改变(Change)”的观念与能力。

  要详尽阐释自身重要经历的过程以及经历这个事件的前后,突出在自己的带领下团体所做的改变,遇到了怎样的困难,又是怎样勇往直前的,自己获得了怎样的体悟和升华,藉此体现自己的领袖气质。

  另外,专家特别指出,美国名校非常注重个体改变现状的思维和能力,美国大学名校申请者都很优秀,竞争激烈,所以校方会以申请者的过去预测未来,挑选优秀人才。文书写作要符合美国人的思路和口味,贵在意涵与动情之间的平衡。

  学美文书“个性化”在哪里?

  破除中国式思维定势:通常来说,中国化的思考方式很多是喜欢在获取的成就上作盲目攀比,如奥数金牌和奥物银牌哪个厉害,学生会长和部长哪个职位更高等。其实,诸如此类的两者间是没有可比性的,关键在于阐述你和别人最不一样的地方在哪里。

  三、写美国留学申请书需要注意的地方有:

  1、PS的长度要适中,600—800英文单词。

  2、紧扣专业,主线明确,避免盲目个性化。让招生委员会知道你选择该专业的明确和强烈的动机,同时具备充分的条件完成该专业的学习。

  3、结构简单,衔接紧密,主线明确,便于理解。谨记:simple is the best。

  4、精心安排PS和其它文件的关系。PS,推荐信,简历等文件构成一整套申请文书,既需要相互应证,也需要这些文件各有侧重点。

  5、语言表达上,英语要地道、符合英语的思维习惯和文风,避免“中式英语”。

  四、推荐一篇美国留学申请书范文:

  To live a meaningful life everyday; to continually pursue my predetermined worthwhile goals. -My view of life.

  Could I put myself in the life-threatening working environment? Could I sacrifice my life for the benefits of others? Some people may laugh at my crazy question. To me, that is a serious question I have come a long way to find my answer. “I am not sure whether it is worth to answer”; “What is the true meaning of that question?”

  When I was a young child, I watched a soap opera that was about court. I was deeply impressed by the judge’s calmness and the lawyer’s eloquence and resource that were showed in this opera. From then on, I hoped to study law some day. Fortunately, I performed well in entrance examination and got enrolled into xx University. Then I chose law as my major without hesitation. At university, I studied hard and got GPA 3.4. What’s more, I broadly read all kinds of books, including philosophy, history etc. My teachers’ instruction strengthened my understanding of law and makes me understand the significance of law to a country. From my studies, I had a lot of fun and got more interested in law. Moreover, I actively participated in practice in holidays from common company to law firm and tried to apply the theory I had learned into practice.

  This summer, I had my internship in counselor department in xxx Group Co Ltd which was involved in a business contract dispute, which was submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration. As a representative of the requested applicant, I took part in the evidence collection in the early arbitration stage and clearly explained why the 5% balance of goods was not paid on time. After knowing the whole case, I visited my teacher, an Arbitration Law professor, and listened to her opinions. Realizing the counterpart didn’t completely implement their contract duty, I gave reasons as follows: First, the counterpart company didn’t mention bearing issue, which caused that the delivered machines couldn’t be put into the plant because of the disqualification of workshop. Thus overhaul was necessary, which delayed production and resulted loss. Based on these reasons, the counterpart didn’t completely carry out its duty, so our party did not pay the balance on time. During this time, I found out the evidence and pictures that attested counterpart did not give reasonable suggestion and service, and made a statement in the court. Finally, the arbitration turned out that counterpart compensated our loss, in which the arbiters invoked the reasons that I stated. They had a panel made up of 3 lawyers and 5 company representatives as agents while we just had 3 persons—two lawyers and me. Under such condition, I was able to cooperate with them and clearly stated my opinions without any nervousness, which got their respect. This matter greatly inspired my enthusiasm on study.

  In addition, I took part in the contact draft in several companies. In the process, when I met a lot of problems, I often turned to my teachers for help, which made good impression on them. As I cherished each practice, I studied my specialty and English hard. With effective study method and diligence, I did well both in English and law, which helped me a lot to get scholarship every year. On the other hand, my practice inspired me to study. In practice, I exercised my legal knowledge. I also realize the big gap between theory and its application—sometimes I have master the rules but I didn’t know how to use it in actual case. My practice experiences have not only strengthened what I learned but have supplied new knowledge for me, which is good for my future study and career.

  In my study and practice, I admired outstanding lawyers’ eloquence and jumping thinking more and more. However, in China, most of lawyers come from theory study and those who can perform well in practice are insufficient. Moreover, after the China’s entrance to WTO, there are a lot of problems with Chinese law. I think, my internship experience is not enough. In practice, I could combine substantive law with procedural law to analyze case, but I still feel my theoretical foundation is not solid enough. What’s more, comparably speaking, the chances that I have to initiatively study and practice are not a lot. Thereby, I am eager to study further abroad to know more about foreign law, thoughts and lawyer career so that I am able to stand out in fierce competition.
