对于申请留学的同学们来说,留学申请书的准备非常关键,一般书写的内容包括个人情况介绍,所学专业介绍,希望就读的专业介绍,考试成绩介绍。下面和出国留学网小编一起来看看美国留学申请书如何书写。
申请书一般从哪个方面着手写。
1.社会事件
这类题目应该是写作难度最大的。提出这个问题表示录取委员是希望了解你对自己的学生生活之外的这个现实世界的很多问题的态度,种族歧视、贫困问题、世界性的饥荒、以及一些当前的时事热点,例如商业诚信、艾滋病、9.11空难等。由于中国和美国在很多事件上所站的角度和立场都有所不同,应该尽量避免采用此类的文书题材。
2.个人的成长经历
这也许是最常见的一个选题了,因为它确实触及到了个人陈述这样的一份申请材料的本质--帮助录取委员会了解申请者的个性和特质。有时学校也会有目的性地出一些命题的散文,例如“你生命中最大的挑战是什么?从中你学到了什么?”,或者“描述你生命中最有意义的一件事情,并解释为什么如此有意义以及它是如何对你产生影响的?
3.最喜爱的人或事
这类题目通常都会是一篇要求简短回答的文章,可能会涉及书、歌曲、艺术作品、一个人或是任何在你生命留下烙印的事物。就像之前提到过的,不要做出你认为录取委员会会愿意听到的答案,选择一些真正对你有特殊意义的人或事,或是可以借以折射出你独特的人格魅力的东西。
4.描述一个对你有深刻影响的人
选择这个申请美国本科文书题材,你需要表现出你不是另一个由完美成绩单包装起来的普通申请者,在你生命中有一个人对你影响很深,是他把你塑造成今天这个全新的你。
5.获得的成绩
描写你所获得的成绩也是使学校了解你个性的一个好方法。但是要注意抓住重点进行描写,不要把你所有的兴趣爱好、高中时代所参加过的活动、所获得的所有奖项都像流水帐一样记录下来,这样的个人陈述不是学校想要的,聪明的申请者知道学校希望学生有一些自己的个人兴趣爱好,并且能够在某一项或几项上有所成就。
6.兴趣爱好
这个申请美国本科文书题材可以选择的内容是比较广泛的,可以是高中时的课外活动、兼职的工作、兴趣或是任何引起了你足够兴趣并且投入了很多精力的事情。这个美国本科申请文书题材与前一个比较相似,都要注意避免写成兴趣罗列,或是同样的内容在文章中反复出现。
书写技巧都有哪些
1.要参考其他学校的美国大学文书论文题目。
有的时候某个题目看起来很模糊,不知道商学院是在问什么,其实通过下面的分析可以看到,不同的商学院考察的能力很相似,只是题目的问法不同,很有迷惑性。这个时候,作者建议申请人参考一下其他学校的题目,即使你不申请这些学校,他们的题目的阐述往往能让申请人豁然开朗,从另一个角度把问题了解的更深刻,写出来的论文才更有说服力。
2.古人写书都是多易其稿,写商学院的申请论文也应该要这样。
商学院对美国留学申请文书论文一般都有字数的限制,那么多要写的内容,那么少的字数要求,怎么才能把每句话都说到点子上,让每个字都发挥其应该有的作用,还是要费一番心思的了。作者个人的经验是,在第一遍完成草稿后,当时是觉得很完美了,可是过了一周后再看,就觉得写的很肤浅了。其实,写作的过程也是一个思考的过程,那些论文的题目让作者有更多的时间来思考自己的职业规划和自己的性格特点,思考的时间长了能更深入,写出来的论文的质量也越高。
3.各篇论文要相辅相成。
一般地说,每个商学院会要求3-5 篇美国大学文书论文,有的更多,每篇论文考察的目的是绝对地不同,所以,在一篇文章中已经强调的问题,不要再在另一篇文章中出现,否则几篇论文写下来却只反映了你的一个方面,这样一来,招生委员会就看不到一个完整的你。比如,一篇规定的论文是强调你的领导才能和团队工作精神,在另一篇自由选材的文章里你就可以强调一下你对社区服务的贡献。这样的论文看起来才是从多角度反映一个人的特点,而不是一个简单线条的勾勒。
4.既然是论文,就有论文要考察的主题。
商学院出这些美国大学文书论文的题目也是有很强的针对性的,所以,在动手撰写论文之前一定要想清楚这篇美国留学申请文书论文是要说明什么问题,把出题人要考察的目的弄的明明白白,这样写出来的文章才有针对性,而不会偏离目标。有的时候论文的题目显得很简单,但是事实上这类题目并不好写,简单的一句话让你很难摸清楚他们的出题思路和意图,对这类的题目更应该多加注意。
5.要请有经验的人或者你的朋友帮助审阅论文。
经验的力量是不可否认的,申请过MBA 的人,或者审核过MBA 申请材料的人都是具有丰富的经验的,所以多多提取他人的意见对于提高论文的质量有很大的帮助。如果有可能,最好再找母语是英语的人帮助审阅,因为他们对语言的理解的优势是巨大的,他们可以帮助检查语法是否规范,语言表达是否符合英文的表达习惯,有没有不合适的表述等等。一句话:要集中集体的智慧来打好申请这一仗。
6.美国留学文书论文要言简意赅,紧紧围绕美国留学申请文书论文的核心内容。
大家想想,招生委员会要在那么短的时间里审阅那么多论文,虽然他们很有责任心,但是不要忘了,他们也是人,也有疲劳的时候,也有心情的起伏,一篇又臭又长的八股基本是把你的申请送到了垃圾篓里去了。开始的时候,大家的草稿很容易超出字数的限制,然后就要精简,我听有的人给出过这么形象的比喻:说是她觉得她写的每一个字都象是自己的孩子,什么都好,就是舍不得删掉。后来还是忍痛割爱,把字数精简到规定的范围。一个最重要的问题是,最好让每一段的第一句直接表明该段的中心内容。研究表明,短的句子有力量,有感染力,过于冗长的句子让人抓不住重点,让人摸不到头脑,所以,写论文不要过于追求复杂的句子。如果能用简单的一个词来表达,为什么要用一个长句子呢?商学院对论文的长度有限制,也是在考察学生是否有能力把自己的观点清晰地表达出来,这也是对现代商业领导人的一个要求,没有人愿意听了十分钟还不知道演讲的人要说什么。有句话说的好:如果你无法用一句话来表达你的见解,你就是没有见解。
最后给大家带来一篇范文,供参考。
Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies, economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. Though more and more companies built, management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning field in China, so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management in England. The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs. As a young girl, it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures, and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. My mother was also involved in business as an accountant, helping him with simple calculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I, also, would someday be able to enter the realm of business.
With the time of growing up, I preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered. Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.
As a high school student in China, I had to concentrate on the College Entrance Examination (CEE), even so, books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June, 2001, I was so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in the department of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms, I realized that I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At that moment, I lost my direction and objectives.
My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American, and some books about management by Peter F.Drucker. I began to notice something interesting: Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell more than others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties?
With the questions in my mind, I started to read many relevant books. I was lucky to read the book “Jack: Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch, in Which John A. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company. When I was a junior, I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. I should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop. From this, my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed, definitely I was increasingly interested in what I was doing. By December, 2003, I had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge, I strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.
Fortunately, as a senior, I began by conducting an internship in the Architecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months, I worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system, which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries. The experience showed me that management is much more important than that of I thought in big companies. After graduation, I continued my work in this company. In May, 2005, the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes, they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas I mentioned.
During the short period of training, I realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster, with its excellence in management, represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challenging environment, I can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success. With this in mind, I hereby submit my application, and await your favorable reply.
