A Guide to the UPenn Supplement
美国宾夕法尼亚大学申请指南
UPenn is filled with driven, passionate, and entrepreneurial students. Therefore, I think the best way to communicate how you'd fit in at UPenn is to emphasize how a UPenn education could get you to your end goals. UPenn loves a practically oriented student, so be practical and clear about what UPenn will allow you to achieve.
在宾夕法尼亚大学，到处都能见到奋发努力，热情洋溢和具有创业精神的学生。因此我认为，要说如何适应宾大的最好方法，就是要知道宾大的教育模式如何帮助你实现你的最终目标。宾大喜欢重实际的学生，所以你就要学会注重实际，搞清楚宾大能让你得到什么。

If you want to study economics would you apply to the Wharton School of Business or to the College of Arts and Sciences? This depends entirely on whether you want a pre-professional approach (Wharton) to business and economics or want a more theoretical and academic approach (the College). Make sure you're selecting the school that's right for getting you to your end goal. If your dream is to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, an application to Wharton is much more in line with your goals , and that will shine through to the Admissions Committee.
如果你想学经济学，你会选择申请沃顿商学院还是文理学院？这完全取决于你是想学习以专业为方向的经济学（沃顿）还是以理论和学术为方向的经济学（文理学院）。你需要确保你选择的学院能正确帮助你实现最终目标。如果你的理想是成为《财富周刊》世界500强的CEO，很明显沃顿是你的明智选择，这样的理想也会让招生委员会对你刮目相看。
How Can Penn Further My Goals?
A good supplement answer will clearly outline what your passions are and how Penn's opportunities will help you achieve them.
宾大如何帮助我实现目标？
以下的回答能帮助你理清你的抱负是什么以及宾大如何帮助你实现它们。
1. Look through the majors and programs at UPenn.
The list of undergraduate programs at UPenn Majors and can be found here. Each major has its own site with information and a list of the classes it offers. Look through some of the classes in the majors that look interesting. Can you see yourself rushing to sign up? If so, these are classes you'll want to reference in your essay.
1.查看宾大的专业和项目。
每个专业都有它对应的官方网站提供各类信息和开设的课程。看看其中有没有什么有趣的课程。你会发现自己急着注册这些课程么？如果这样的话，这些课程就是你在申请的时候需要参考的。
2. Identify professors you'd like to work with.
After looking through the majors and classes you'll likely see some opportunities that interest you. Google the names of the professors teaching the classes you find compelling and the heads of the programs or majors you like. Is the professor published in areas of your interest? Read his or her writing and tell the admissions committee what you think! The more academic familiarity and passion you can display in your essay the better. Looking through classes, programs, and professors will help you envision yourself at Penn and more clearly portray that vision to the Admissions Committee.
2.找出你想合作的教授
看好了各类专业和课程，你可能会去看看有没有是你感兴趣的机会。在谷歌搜一下是哪些老师教一些有趣的课程，再看看你喜欢的项目和专业的头头是谁。那个教授在你喜欢的领域出过书么？读读看他们写的书，告诉入学委员会你对于他们的书有什么样的想法。你的申请越是能展现学科相关性和积极性就越好。看看有哪些课程，项目和老师能够让你构建一个完整的宾大生活展望，把这样的一个展望展示给入学委员会。
3. Identify research opportunities.
While finding a professor you'd like to work with and referencing he or she is a good way to showcase your interest, not all professors are willing to take on research assistants. In order to link students with research opportunities, UPenn created the The Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships (CURF). It is a great resource on campus that the school is really proud of. The Admissions Committee is sure to love it if you reference an opportunity that you find on CURF's site.
3.发现研究机会
想要找到一个你想合作的教授并且向他求教是展示你兴趣绝好方式，但并不是所有教授都愿意请个研究助手的。为了让学生有机会得到研究的机会，宾大创建了本科生研究中心（简称CURF）。这可是学校引以为傲的一个平台。如果你在CURF的官网上去寻求研究机会，那么入学委员会肯定很欣赏你的这一举动。
4. Identify UPenn alums you admire
If you know the type of career you'd be interested in having, look at some UPenn alums that are working in those fields.
4.找到你敬佩的宾大校友
如果你清楚你自己对未来自己从事什么行业感兴趣，那么去看看有哪些宾大校友在这些行业工作。
5. What if I don't have a specific passion?
UPenn is a great place to find yourself. If you are undecided about your future talk about some of the ways in which UPenn can help you foster your goals and learn about yourself. For example, the multidisciplinary requirements at UPenn ensure you'll get a taste of a variety of academic fields. Take a look at the advice for Freshmen written by UPenn deans about how to find their academic niche. Also, do not forget about how important it is to give back!
5.要是我没有一个特别感兴趣的方面呢？
宾大是个发现自我的好地方。如果你还没决定好自己的未来，那就想想看宾大如何能帮助你培养目标，发现自我。举个例子，宾大的跨学科学习的要求能确保你对各种学术领域有所涉猎。
