Common Application是500多所美国大学通用的大学网上申请系统,美国前100名的大学里绝大部分都在使用这一申请系统。除了提交Common Application申请表格以外,每个学校还要提交一个补充申请表格,这样就构成一份完整的大学申请表格。我们通常把Common Application的文书称为主文书,把各个大学补充申请里的文书叫做小文书。CommonApp主文书异常重要,请各位2016er们及早关注。
下面是Common Application新旧文书题目对比(注:CommonApp文书是五选一):
第1题
Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
原题:
Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
这道题的改动不大,主要是将background, story丰富为background, identity, interest,talent几个选项。
第2题:
The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

第4题:
Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
原题:
Describe a place or environment where you are perfectly content. What do you do or experience there, and why is it meaningful to you?
这是一道新题目,要求写你曾经或者想要解决的一个对你个人意义重大的问题。

CommonApp的文书题目已经公布,加州大学的申请文书常年不变,还有一些类型的文书题目是必然会遇到的,比如why school类。所以,同学们要及早了解文书题目,了解学校定位以确定可能遇到的文书题目,有针对性地思考和练习写作,甚至对自己正在从事的课外活动进行调整,在做有意义的活动的同时,也为将来的文书题目积累素材哦。
