以理工科和獨特的校園修建著稱於世的MIT,其文書標題卻是顯得稀松平凡,讓門生描寫本身來自於甚麽樣的情況,如許的情況是若何塑造本身的,和面臨過的最大的挑釁是甚麽本身又是若何來處置的。如許的標題你在申請大學時,百分之百會碰到!早早的開端思慮吧!
隨著我高聲說:This is where I come from!
MIT:
Describe the world you come from; for example, yourfamily,clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shapedyourdreams and aspirations? (200-250 words)lTell usabout the most significant challenge you've faced orsomething important thatdidn't go according to plan. How did youmanage the situation? (200-250 words)

斯坦福大學的文書標題裏,須要你用50個單詞描寫假如有機遇親自見證一次有名的汗青事宜你願望是那甚麽事宜。反思本身在智力成長上有甚麽思惟大概閱歷對本身有甚麽主要的影響。我想比來在微博上爆火美國須眉Jason因成就太差停學,後被人打傷頭部,醒後變數學天才必定有話要說,Jason頭部被 打後看甚麽都是多少圖案,樹葉都能看出畢達哥拉斯定理,反射的陽光也能看出圓周率。大夫說這類情形叫"後天學者癥候群",患者會在被擊打腦部後在數學,音 樂和藝術方面展示驚人的才幹!
別的,斯坦福還請求門生給將來的室友寫一封信,贊助室友進一步懂得你;還須要讓申請者用250個單詞答復一個看上去很巨大的主題:甚麽對你是最主要的,和為何?

加州理工非常誇大本身的聲譽軌制,即任何人都不該該不公正地應用別人,看上去很簡略的原則,黌舍須要申請者依據本身的親身閱歷過的品德兩難景象 以回應這個題目。別的,加州理工還為本身門生群體怪僻的滑稽感和有發明性的開玩笑推重備至,請求申請者講講本身有哪些“不正常的”尋高興的方法。推舉申請 人查查汗青上加州理工和麻省理工的相互進擊的開玩笑大戰應當會有啟示。
Caltech的門生曾佯裝MIT的門生在MIT舉行的校園觀光日運動中向復活們發放免費的T恤。這些T恤乍一看印著大大的MIT字樣,可打開
T恤就會發明T恤的後頭印有“becausenoteverybody can go toCaltech(由於不是全部人都能進Caltech)”的諷刺話語。
Caltech

埃默裏大學請求申請者想象本身是一名大學傳授,想要開設一門新的課程,你可以選取任何學科任何課程,你願望本身的門生們在這門課上進修甚麽內容。

弗吉尼亞大學被譽為民眾戀人校,由於其EA階段的申請人數目宏大,在中國地域的招生也較為寬松,但UVa的文書看上去也不是那末輕易搞定哦。第 一個標題就有點讓人雲裏霧裏,2006年一名名為RobertStilling的研討生在UVA的一所藏書樓發明了有名墨客羅伯特福斯特的一篇未揭櫫的詩歌,那你的Stilling時候是在何時呢?
第二題則請求申請者描寫本身的一個怪癖和這個怪癖為何是你的一部門。
第三題則加倍無厘頭,將莎士比亞的名句To be or not to be改成To tweet or not totweet?可中國申請者基本就Tweet不了啊!
這會是你的Stilling時候嗎?

維克叢林大學固然排名23,但在中國著名度其實不高,大概這五篇,篇篇不平常的文書標題嚇住了很多申請者。第一題就不走平常路,問甚麽會使你惱怒,而你又將如那邊理你的惱怒情感。惱怒這類稍顯負面的情感多是惟獨這所大學的標題裏自動說起。第二題也是無根無據的要門生列出你本身的Top10名 單,沒有任何規模大概景象的提醒。第三題又使博主深深得墮入了尋思,Twitter到底下了若幹血本在大學申請進程內裏植入了這麽多軟告白!該題請求申請者應用140個字符的空間挑釁"大眾,"以為交際媒體浮淺不敷以表達深條理思惟的謬論。
下面是推特的告白時光:

塔夫斯大學不但在文書內容上革故鼎新,還在情勢上給門生更多空間。申請者可以經由過程散文、視頻、電子文件等來答復該題目“假如你不報告真正的本身你也不克不及熟悉其他的人”。第四題用標語式的方法請求申請者:大慷慨方得向咱們展現你書白癡的一壁吧!中國粹生會不會面到這一題以後喜大普奔呢?塔夫斯不但有書白癡的一壁哦,被華盛頓郵報評為2013年最憎惡的縮寫詞:YOLO(Youonly live once你只會活一次)同樣成了文書標題,你是若何對待這句帶有實時行願意味的風行語呢?

北卡羅萊那大學偏向於用一些小題目來熬煎你,好比你願望在彩虹以後發明甚麽?假如你能穿越到任什麽時候空,你會去哪兒為何?你的主題曲是甚麽?切單方面包以後的絕佳事物是甚麽?你最名貴的產業是啥?你最願望具有的超才能是甚麽?你想創造甚麽小玩意?

比擬起UNC的俏皮靈活,波士頓學院的文書標題則顯得深邃深摯嚴正而又有思慮的意見意義。第一題援用了BC的卒業儀式演講,“究竟每每缺乏魂魄而顯得不 夠完全,在懂得汗青時有人具有了全部的數據卻茫無頭緒,就如鋼琴初學者奏出了全部音符卻聽不到音樂”,請告知咱們你本身是不是有如許的閱歷。
