? ? 作為英國(guó)最古老的大學(xué)之一,愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)產(chǎn)生過(guò)25名諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者,達(dá)爾文、大衛(wèi)·休謨、亞當(dāng)·斯密、麥克斯韋、亞當(dāng)·弗格森、詹姆斯·莫里斯以及英國(guó)前首相溫斯頓·丘吉爾等諸多名家均曾在愛(ài)丁堡學(xué)習(xí)或從事研究。在這所深藏各種大牛的高校中,招生官更青睞什么樣的學(xué)生?在成百上千的文書(shū)中,他們pick出的那一份有著什么內(nèi)容?一起來(lái)欣賞一份斬獲五所高校offer的優(yōu)質(zhì)文書(shū)范文。
? ? 專(zhuān)業(yè):計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)
? ? Offer:愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué) ?格拉斯哥大學(xué) 薩里大學(xué) 紐約大學(xué) ?南安普頓大學(xué)

? ? 評(píng):個(gè)人陳述第一段很關(guān)鍵,決定了招生官對(duì)你的第一印象。申請(qǐng)者以問(wèn)句入文,并形成全文的中心問(wèn)題——計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)為什么吸引我。

? ? 評(píng):承接第一段,申請(qǐng)者通過(guò)回憶小學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)來(lái)解答這個(gè)問(wèn)題,講述如何與計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)結(jié)緣,比較自然。

? ? 評(píng):進(jìn)一步,申請(qǐng)者談了自己在計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)上的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷,展示了自身的學(xué)術(shù)成績(jī),并舉了在國(guó)家信息學(xué)奧林匹亞競(jìng)賽等賽事中獲得了第一、二名的例子。一兩個(gè)例子恰到好處表現(xiàn)了學(xué)術(shù)能力,塑造了自信好學(xué)的個(gè)人形象。

? ? 評(píng):接著重點(diǎn)談最受影響的例子——在SNAC羅馬尼亞協(xié)會(huì)做志愿的日子。注意:涉及專(zhuān)有名詞,第一次在文中提到因以全稱(chēng)展現(xiàn),要是能加簡(jiǎn)短介紹就更好了。“和一名圖形設(shè)計(jì)師和一名語(yǔ)言學(xué)者一起,我開(kāi)發(fā)了針對(duì)殘疾兒童的教育軟件(dyslalia、誦讀困難、后期演講),編程方面完全由我來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)?!边@個(gè)志愿活動(dòng)不僅展現(xiàn)了申請(qǐng)者的人格魅力,同時(shí)與個(gè)人專(zhuān)業(yè)相結(jié)合,運(yùn)用專(zhuān)業(yè)做了實(shí)事,這是非常受招生官重視的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。對(duì)于這個(gè)例子,申請(qǐng)者闡述地非常有說(shuō)服力,最后還談了個(gè)人收獲,簡(jiǎn)潔充實(shí),童靴們可以好好體會(huì)一下。

? ? 評(píng):在文章倒數(shù)第二段,申請(qǐng)者安排了自己的業(yè)余活動(dòng)。打鼓和游泳,申請(qǐng)者在音樂(lè)藝術(shù)和體育方面都有涉及,且分別談了對(duì)個(gè)人的影響。更進(jìn)一步,申請(qǐng)者突出了自己的一些獨(dú)特活動(dòng),比如征服羅馬尼亞最高峰、參加羅馬尼亞紅十字會(huì),并提到了愛(ài)心、團(tuán)隊(duì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力等關(guān)鍵詞。

? ? 評(píng):個(gè)人陳述最后一段可以用來(lái)補(bǔ)充上文沒(méi)有提到的內(nèi)容板塊,也可以拿來(lái)做總結(jié)。這篇文章最后強(qiáng)調(diào)了對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)的熱愛(ài),并將其比喻成要去攀登的另一座高峰,申請(qǐng)者甚至上升到了一個(gè)更有意義的高度——用這一專(zhuān)業(yè)去幫助他人。這對(duì)上文也做出了非常好的總結(jié),也向招生官展示了一個(gè)對(duì)這一專(zhuān)業(yè)和未來(lái)世界充滿希冀的學(xué)生形象。
? ? 個(gè)人陳述是申請(qǐng)材料中最為重要的部分,它是申請(qǐng)者與招生官直接對(duì)話的媒介,薄薄的一兩張紙如何向招生官展示一個(gè)既有較強(qiáng)學(xué)術(shù)能力又有多樣才能的優(yōu)秀學(xué)生形象,這里面的學(xué)問(wèn)很多,也希望各位童靴認(rèn)真對(duì)待,多看范文,汲取營(yíng)養(yǎng),不斷優(yōu)化自己的個(gè)人陳述啦。
