篇二:
申请国外大学的范文和指导
除了通用申请的Essay之外,有些学校还提供另外写一篇Essay的机会。
有些学校让你在他们提供的题目中作出选择;
而有些学校则没有任何限制。
比如耶鲁大学的要求非常简单,只是要求你写一篇500单词以内的你想让耶鲁阅读的Essay即可,基本没有任何限制。
哈佛大学也是让你自行决定写什么内容、什么题目,只不过给出了几个可能的写作题目建议:
a)你生命中的一个不寻常经历;
b)你在其他国家旅行和生活的经历;
c)对你最具影响力的书;
d)某学术经历(课程、研究项目、论文、或研究课题);
e)过去一年中你读过的一系列图书。
请记住,这些只是哈佛建议的题目,决不是要限制你从中挑选,你完全可以自定题目来写。
