纽约大学申请文书范文1
申请美国大学推荐信之一：学校推荐
因为美国没有统一客观的标准，学校的推荐就更加重要。学校会陈列学生在中学其间的各项成就、活动、成绩等等。当然，一些罕见的形容词也会起到意想不到的作用。例如：校长，在为一位从佛罗里达州二零零五年入读哈佛的华裔少年的学校推荐中，如此说道：“该生的求知欲望，对学生工作的热忱，是我从教三十年来没有见到的。”表明了，这个孩子不单是本校现在最好的，而且是多年来最杰出的学生。您想，这样的宝贝哈佛如何能错过呢?
申请美国大学推荐信之二：老师推荐
老师推荐信一般是由学生自己选择两位比较熟悉的任课老师来填写。重要*自然不言而喻。推荐信的内容最好在使用形容词的同时，加上具体的小故事、数据来支持老师的观点。太过空洞的夸张可能并不是好事。
申请美国大学推荐信之三：同学推荐
同学推荐也非常重要，通过同学间的评语，可以看到该学生的团队精神等等。说好话也许作用不大，但是要是说上一两句坏话，那可不见得不起作用喽。
所有的推荐信都是由信的撰写者或学校直接寄出，学生可能无法看到
纽约大学申请文书范文2
I guess it was inevitable that I’d be on hockey skates at some point in my life, but I did not expect that I’d become one of a rare group of female ice hockey officials before I even reached high school. Being born into a family of hockey players and figure skaters, it seemed that my destiny had already been decided.
Right from the beginning, my two older brothers and my father strapped me up and threw me onto the ice. I loved it and, in my mind, I was on my way to becoming a female Gretzky! But my mom had to think of something fast to drag her little girl away from this sport of ruffians. Enter my first hot pink figure skating dress! That was all it took to launch fifteen years of competitive figure skating. Even though figure skating soon became my passion, I always had an unsatisfied yearning for ice hockey. It took a great deal of convincing from my parents that competitive figure skating and ice hockey didn’t mix. My compromise became refereeing ice hockey; little did I know that I was beginning an activity that would influence my character and who I am today. When I began, I would only work with my dad and brothers. Everyone was friendly and accepting because I had just started. I soon realized though that to get better I needed to start refereeing with people I wasn’t related to, and that’s when my experience drastically changed. An apologetic smile and an “I’m sorry” wasn’t going to
get me through games now. As I began officiating higher-level games and dealing with more arrogant coaches, I suddenly entered a new male-dominated world, a world I had never experienced before. My confidence was shot, and all I wanted to do was get through each game and be able to leave. Sometimes I was even too scared to skate along the teams’ benches because I would get upset by what the coaches would yell to me. “Do you have a hot date tonight, ref?” was a ty that coaches would spit at me during the course of a game. In their eyes, I did not belong on that ice, and they were going to do whatever they could do to make sure no women wanted to officiate their games. I was determined not to let them chase me off the ice.
I made the decision to stand up for myself. I never responded rudely to the coaches, but I did not let them walk all over me and destroy my confidence anymore. I started to act and feel more like the 4-year certified Atlantic District Official that I am. There were still a few situations that scared me. One time I called a penalty in a championship game during the third overtime and the team I penalized ended up losing because they got scored on. I knew I had made the right call, even though I was unnerved when I saw the losing teams’ parents waiting for me at my locker room; for the moment I wished I hadn’t called that penalty. Although it was scary at the time, I stood my ground and overcame my fears. That was an important
stepping-stone in my officiating career and in my life.
After four years of refereeing, I still can’t say it’s easy. Every game hands me something new and I never know what to expect. Now I have the confidence and preparation to deal with the unexpected, on and off the ice. I now also know to take everything with a grain of salt and not let it get to me. I have learned that life is just like being out on the ice; if I am prepared and act with confidence, I will be perceived as confident. These are the little lessons that I’m grateful to have learned as a woman referee.
Things to Notice About This Essay
1. The author tells an interesting story about her experiences as a referee.
2. A sense of her personality—determination, flexibility, good humor—comes through in the narration.
3. Details like “Do you have a hot date tonight, ref?” make the narration memorable (we’d love to hear more of these kinds of details).
4. The essay needs a faster start. The first paragraph (three sentences) says the same thing in both the first and third sentences—and gives away the essay’s surprise in the second! A good revision would all of paragraph one and start at paragraph two.
5. There’s too much frame here and not enough picture. The essay needs further development, especially about the difficulties of
becoming and being a ref, to keep it vivid.
6. The author should “dwell” in the meaning of the experience a little more at the end—“I wonder about…I also think…Sometimes I believe….” Significant experiences like this one, woven through many years of the author’s life, don’t mean just one thing—there are more insights and lessons to explore here.

随着当前出国留学越来越理性，越来越多的国内学生从高一甚至初中就开始着手进行托福考试、美国高考SAT以及课外活动的准备。经过初三、高一以及高二三年的准备，可以说国内申请人的SAT成绩、托福成绩、GPA（平均成绩）以及课外活动基本已经成形，Essay写作相当于将这些成绩和所做过的活动结合起来，透过Essay予以呈现，这也是大学对学生初步认识和考察的依据。简而言之，就是把所有的菜料都准备齐全了，炒出什么样的菜，靠的就是Essay了。
Essay是学生向美国大学展示自我个性与风采的重要申请材料。但是，很多中国学生并不明确如何撰写符合美国大学审查标准的Essay。由于美国大学的入学体制不同于中国大学，完全以高考成绩来决定成败、选择学生。美国的大学，尤其是常春藤联盟名校等一流的大学更加注重学生的个性与特质。对于一个普通的高中生，在没有取得巨大成功或者成就的情况下，是否具有未来成功的潜力是美国名校最看重的。因此，SAT满分的学生或GPA成绩非常高的学生，不一定能进入理想的学校，而许多成绩不是非常优异的学生却能够进入一流名校。这就是美国大学选择学生的特色。如何写出一篇把自己个人特色、优势表达得非常出色、非常到位的Essay，就扮演了举足轻重的角色。
据悉，美国高校的入学审查官平均花在一个学生Essay自传上的时间是5分钟。如何通过Essay的开头，能够让Essay的审查官很清晰明了地看到申请人过去三年的经历与想法，并且有兴趣进一步深入了解这个学生，是很重要的。但是，Essay必须根据学生三年来经历的事实进行撰写，绝不可以凭空假造。这种Essay的表达，看似容易，其实是很复杂的，因为每个学校的要求并不是整齐划一的，没有一个共同的标准，在挑选国际留学生时每所高校会有自己的偏好。因此，学生在进行Essay写作时，一定要在围绕、突现自身亮点、特质的基础上也要综合考虑所申请大学的“口味”，这样才会让自己在美国名校申请的激烈竞争中脱颖而出。

美国大学面试时如何进行自我介绍？美国大学面试的第一步通常都是要学生进行一个自我介绍，将你的一生压缩到用几句话来表达，要避免诸如“我很友善”或“我是个好学生”的平淡答案。
当然，在美国大学面试过程中，你想表明你的友好和好学，但是要尝试在说一些令人难忘的东西，让你从其他候选人中凸显出来。你有大量收集什么东西的爱好吗？你对寿司有不寻常的狂热吗？
这听起来是那么简单的一个问题。在某些方面，是简单。毕竟，毕竟如果说有一项事情你真正了解的话，那一定是你自己。然而，它的挑战，是了解你自己并且用几个句子阐述你的与众不同点是非常不同的事情。在踏入面试房间之前，请务必多想想什么事情让你有过人之处。
一些特性是可取的，但是它们不是唯一的。大部分学生在美国大学面试的时候，通常都会说一下的话：
我很刻苦 (Im hard working.)
我负责 (Im responsible.)
我很友好 (Im friendly.)
我是个好学生 (Im a good student.)
我忠诚 (Im loyal.)
值得同意的是所有这些答案都是积极正面的答案。大学当然希望申请本校的学生勤奋，负责，而且友好。那自然是不用过多考虑的。理想情况下，您的申请和以及在面试中的这些答案将传达一个事实，你是一个友好勤奋的学生。
然而，这些答案都是可以预测的。几乎所有的申请者都会给出相同的答案。假设我们回到开始的问题“说说你自己”---- 我们需要意识到任何申请者都能提供的答案是不能完全成功地表述你的与众不同点。美国大学面试是展示你自己个性和激情的最好机会，而不是展示成千上万申请者相同的一面。
因此，当面试者请你介绍自己的时候，不要浪费太多时间在这些可以预见的答案上。你要做的是将自己独特的一面展示出来。比如：你的激情在哪里？你幽默之处在哪里？为什么你的朋友那么喜欢你？什么使你开怀大笑？什么又让你怒发冲冠？你是否曾经教过你家的狗弹琴？你是否做过好吃的草莓派？你是否在100米自行车比赛中好好思考过？你是否曾经在深夜打着电筒看书？你是否成功的用木棍和鞋带摩擦生火过？你是否深夜被臭融喷过？
你几乎能答对所有被问及关于你的问题，同时，你的面试考官对你的一切也很感兴趣，因此，你需要严肃且真诚的回答每个问题。但请你务必搞清楚，你是在画一个丰富多彩的自己，而不是轻描淡写。

美国留学申请文书禁忌。对于准备申请美国研究生的同学来说，文书的准备是一件很重要的事情，也是申请过程中非常关键的一步。如果我们把申请比作找工作，把教授比作老板，申请文书就是你的工作能力证明。
【脱离实际、弄虚作假、乱假设】
个别同学把别人的科研实习经历都安在自己的身上，从材料上看，这个学生看似有着极为出色的背景，他也可能会被一个不错的大学录取甚至获得全奖，但是到校一学期后他的真实水平就会显现出来。美国大学对于这种弄虚作假的行为甚为愤慨，会责令其退学。
美国大学教授希望通过申请文书了解真实的你，而不是一个编造的虚假人物。因此我们要本着诚实的态度去写自己的申请文书。除此之外，千万不要在文书中假设太多，因为假设永远只是在一定条件允许的情况下才能成立。文书还是要回归实际，以强有力的客观依据让学校认识到你的实力。
【信息主次不分、取舍不当】
有些硕士项目的申请人在简历里的教育背景部分罗列出自己在初中和高中的学习经历，而在工作经历或研究经历部分，却一笔带过，没有对工作经历或研究经历进行任何详细的描述，这种主次不分、取舍不当的简历，很难得到美国名校招生官的青睐。
很多美国大学在筛选、录取申请人时，往往把简历放在第一位。因此，申请人，尤其是商科的申请人，在制作简历时一定要做到信息取舍得当。
【顾左右而言他，目标不明确】
有些申请人在文书中没有很清晰地描述出自己的目标专业以及未来的研究方向和职业规划，而是对一些与专业无关的事情高谈阔论，让招生官看不到申请人对目标专业的理解和研究，必然以申请失败收场。
申请文书顾名思义就是要帮你获得申请结果的材料，那么这个申请必然要围绕一个专业来进行，这个专业就是你的目标专业。既然以这个专业为核心开展，那么我们的文书都要围绕着这个主题来体现。也就是说，在你的文书中要利用有效的文字去告诉招生官你在专业上有过怎样的建树，你以及你的推荐人对于你个人的专业研究潜力是怎样评价看待的。
【长篇大论、拖沓冗长】
有申请人在写个人陈述的时候，思绪一打开就收不住，写完就超过1500字了。要知道，在招生官审核材料的最忙碌的阶段，过长的文章是没有人愿意也没有时间耐心读下去的。
对于申请研究生的学生来说，课程和研究兴趣是最关键的因素。如果你的个人陈述说了三件事情都是为了说明一个问题，那么为什么不选出一个最具代表性的说明呢-这样会让人觉得你写东西抓不到重点。因此申请文书切忌拖沓冗长，精练、直观、材料支持有力就足够了。

A Home Destroyed
I was seven years old when I saw the ocean for the first time. My grandmother had invited me to visit her near Okinawa, Japan. I will never forget that encounter—the intense sun, the endless horizon, the infinite shades of blue that dissolved any boundary between sky and waves. And most of all, the secret of the water. Swimming in those waters was like diving into a kaleidoscope, deceptively plain on the outside, but a show of colors on the inside, waiting to dazzle me, mesmerize me. Those colors! Coral reefs—pink, green, red, purple—covered the seafloor; streaks of sunlight illuminated them, the swaying water creating a dance of hues. And weaving in and out of the contours of coral swam brilliant fish that synchronized every movement with the water, creating one body, one living entity. I longed to join and flow with them to the music of the waves; that’s where I felt I belonged. And leaving was like parting home, not going home.
Five years later, I returned. At first, all seemed to match my memory: the crystalline waters and that open horizon with the sun daring to come closer to Earth. But the second I dove in, I knew my home had vanished?white. That’s all I could see around me: bone-white death. I couldn’t accept it. I kept swimming farther out, hoping to catch even the smallest hint of color. But there was no sign of that brilliant garden I remembered, just fragments of bleached coral. It was like looking down onto the aftermath of a war: a bombed city, with only the crumbles of cement to testify for the great buildings that once stood. But who was the culprit behind this egregious attack?
Though at the age of twelve, I couldn’t even begin to guess, I now know the answer is us. Humans are an impressive species: we have traveled to every continent, adapted to countless environments, and innovated to create
comfortable means of living. But in the process, we have stolen the colors from nature all around the globe, just as we did that coral reef. Our trail of white has penetrated the forests, the oceans, the grasslands, and spread like a wild disease. I, too, have left a white footprint, so I have a responsibility to right
these wrongs, to repaint those colors, and to preserve the ones that remain. Some question why I should care. The answer is simple: this planet is my home, my birthplace. And that, in and of itself, is an inseparable bond and a timeless connection. Nature has allowed me my life, so I have no right to deny its life. As Jane Goodall once said, “If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.” This is my soul—our soul. I know that I alone cannot protect this soul, so I will not make a promise that I cannot fulfill. But this promise I will make: I will do what I can do.
