随着2022-2023申请季的到来，很多学校都更新了自己的附加文书题目。如果说之前给大家整理的，芝加哥大学和康奈尔大学的最新文书题目，还不够让你“大开眼界”，那么接下来Top30 其他综合大学的附加文书变化，足以让你瞠目结舌、拍案叫绝！

哥伦比亚大学

• 变化一：删除“课内必读书单”一题

   

• 变化二：Community一题的题干中新增对于Community的定义：公平且具备包容性；同时需要突出自身背景对个人的塑造及影响；

题目：A hallmark of the Columbia experience is being able to learn and thrive in an equitable and inclusive community with a wide range of perspectives. Tell us about an aspect of your own perspective, viewpoint or lived experience that is important to you, and describe how it has shaped the way you would learn from and contribute to Columbia’s diverse and collaborative community.

翻译：哥伦比亚大学经验的一个特点是能够在一个公平、包容、具有广泛视角的社区中学习和发展。告诉我们你自己的一个重要的角度，观点或生活经验，并描述它如何塑造了你向哥伦比亚的多元化和协作社区学习并为之做出贡献的方式。

针对Community类的文书，新东方的老师会带领学生进行头脑风暴，首先会从“定义社群”开始。这个世界上有很多种社群，不是每一种都能像“XX社团”一样好命名，但是我们可以提供一个框架来帮助学生概念化不同的community。

• 变化三：新增35词的“幸福源泉反思”题目

题目：In Columbia’s admissions process, we value who you are as a unique individual, distinct from your goals and achievements. In the last words of this writing supplement, we would like you to reflect on a source of happiness. Help us get to know you further by describing the first thing that comes to mind when you consider what simply brings you joy.

翻译：在哥伦比亚大学的录取过程中，我们视你为一个独特的个体，有别于你的目标和成就。在这篇附加文书的最后几句话里，我们想让你反思一下幸福的源泉。当你考虑什么能给你带来快乐时，你首先想到的是什么，通过描述来帮助我们进一步了解你。
