标题: Questions --- MIT Essays [打印本页] 作者: geniusni 时间: 2012-11-27 23:05 标题: Questions --- MIT Essays Sorry, I can't type chinese by this computer. I have a couple of questions: 1. Coverletter. Where can i find some samples for the cover letter?
2. "convince a person or a group" (Essay 1) and "overcome a personal setback" (Essay 2) a. what is personal setback? Can I write a setback or failure in my professional career? (is it personal vs. group/team or personal vs. professional?) b. In some sense, Essay 1 and Essay 2 could be something similar (I mean the story) you have different opinions with the rest of the group and you have to convince them (Essay 1); when you are new in the group and your opinion is different from the rest of the group, your work is hindered by the differences. This could be a setback (Essay 2).
I am thinking of this because I wanted to recycle some of my stories from other schools. (of course, I won't write the same story for these two essays from different perspectives)
Could someone please clarify? Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Good luck.作者: geniusni 时间: 2012-11-28 21:03
Thank you so very much, Steven. This is very helpfu.. I actually had a professional setback. What worried me was it was professional, not personal. According to your comments, I can write it. Thank you.
