而對于一些不適用通用申請系統(tǒng)Common   Application的美國大學(xué)，他們在申請文書上會有自己的系統(tǒng)要求和文書要求，比如麻省理工學(xué)院、、喬治城大學(xué)、加州理工學(xué)院等》》》【匯總】美國大學(xué)申請中Common App的使用方法。

Omar Wasow, assistant professor of politics, Princeton University and   co-founder of Blackplanet.com. This quote is taken from Professor Wasow’s   January 2014 speech at the Martin Luther King Day celebration at Princeton   University.

3. “Culture is what presents us with the kinds of valuable things that can   fill a life. And insofar as we can recognize the value in those things and make   them part of our lives, our lives are meaningful.”

Gideon Rosen, Stuart Professor of Philosophy and director of the Behrman   Undergraduate Society of Fellows, Princeton University.

2.耶魯大學(xué)的補充文書題目

補充文書題目：請用少于125字描述是什么讓你(決定)申請耶魯大學(xué)?請用35個字描述是什么啟發(fā)了你?耶魯大學(xué)的住宿學(xué)院會定期與有廣泛經(jīng)驗和成就的客人進行密切的交談。不論過去或現(xiàn)在，你會邀請誰發(fā)言?你會問什么問題?請在35個字以內(nèi)描述你最喜歡學(xué)習(xí)什么?

耶魯大學(xué)錄取專家Yosepha Greenfield對此進行分析：

“Yale is all about community. The "college system" is an integral part of the   Yale experience and one that sets Yale apart from many of the other Ivy League   schools. Because of this, Yale is asking several questions about what   prospective applicants would add to the community.

So, in your answer, you need to address what role you would play in your   "college" and in the overall community. In my suite of 6 girls my freshman year   at Yale, we had students from all over the world — Russia, China, Brazil — and   girls with totally different interests — poetry, sports, cooking (one girl   cooked entire meals just with a portable stove top), and engineering. So when   Yale asks you these questions, you need to be detailed and creative, and you   need to show them that you would make an awesome addition to your residential   college. I'd also like to point out that Yale is adding two residential colleges   this year!”

“耶魯大學(xué)關(guān)注的是群體?！按髮W(xué)的體系”是耶魯大學(xué)經(jīng)歷中的不可分割的組成部分，這也是耶魯大學(xué)與其他許多常春藤盟校的區(qū)分點。正因為如此，耶魯大學(xué)也會問“申請者會給社區(qū)帶來什么”這樣的問題。

所以，在你的答案中，你需要強調(diào)你在你的大學(xué)和整個社會中會扮演什么角色。當耶魯大學(xué)問你這些問題時，你需要做到具體和有創(chuàng)造性。而且你需要向他們表明你將成為你的住宿學(xué)院的重要一員。我還要指出的是耶魯大學(xué)今年增加了兩所住宿學(xué)院!

耶魯大學(xué)前招生官指點迷津：

“招生官會認真地讀你的每一個答案，包括只有35字的簡答題。當然他們會更加注意你是如何回答“你申請耶魯?shù)脑蚴鞘裁础边@個問題。最符合招生官期待的答案一定是能夠闡明耶魯和其他學(xué)校的區(qū)別的。招生官不會被一個能夠適用于任何美國大學(xué)的問題回答而打動。

對于申請工程或計算機科學(xué)專業(yè)的學(xué)生來說，選答文書非常重要。這不僅是你向招生官展示你對該專業(yè)領(lǐng)域的熱情和興趣的機會，同時你也需要利用選答文書闡明自己已經(jīng)清晰理解成為一名工程師或者電腦科學(xué)家意味這什么、你對這個行業(yè)已經(jīng)了解了什么。

3.芝加哥大學(xué)的補充文書題目

補充文書題目：芝加哥大學(xué)要求從話題里面選擇寫一篇“擴展”文書，以及兩篇論文(一篇是要求的，一篇是選擇性的)。

題目選項(部分)：

Essay Option 3: Earth. Fire. Wind. Water. Heart! Captain Planet supposes that   the world is made up of these five elements. We’re familiar with the   previously-noted set and with actual elements like hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon,   but select and explain another small group of things (say, under five) that you   believe compose our world.

Essay Option 5: Fans of the movie Sharknado say that they enjoy it because   “it’s so bad, it’s good.” Certain automobile owners prefer classic cars because   they “have more character.” And recently, vinyl record sales have skyrocketed   because it is perceived that they have a warmer, fuller sound. Discuss something   that you love not in spite of but rather due to its quirks or imperfections.

文書選項3：地球，火，風(fēng)，水，心!星球船長認為地球是由這五個元素構(gòu)成的。我們所熟悉的構(gòu)成地球的實際元素是氫和氧和碳，但請從以上這五個元素里面選擇并解釋它們?yōu)楹螛?gòu)成了這個世界。

文書選項5：喜歡Sharknado的影迷說喜歡它的原因是因為   “它是如此糟糕，這就是為什么這個電影好?！币恍┸囍飨矚g經(jīng)典汽車是因為它們更有特點。最近，黑膠唱片銷售直線上升因為黑膠唱片有更飽滿溫和的音質(zhì)。討論你喜歡的一個東西，盡管它很離奇或者不完美。

芝加哥大學(xué)向以其古怪的、挑釁性的、燒腦的拓展文書問題而著稱。今年芝加哥大學(xué)的拓展文書問題依然沒有讓人失望。文書說明也同樣如此：“你可以用嚴肅的、想象的或介于兩者之間的手法來回答?！?/p>

4.密歇根大學(xué)的補充文書題目
