以下是引用ranning在2008-1-9 7:17:00的发言: 个人比较不建议做这样的汇总 容易给后人一种误区 认为进了就是因为写了某个主题而反而忘了去问自己的内心
所以what matter most to you还是留给每个人自己吧
我同意很多申请Stanford的人有这样一个误区,觉得文章,特别是第一篇有一锤定音的效果。可Stanford的Adcom都已经出来辟谣了: (http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/mba/admission/dir_corner/dir_essays.html) “Myth #2: There is a widespread perception that if you don't have amazing essays, you won't be admitted even if you are a compelling applicant. Please remember that no single element of your application is dispositive. And since we recognize that our application has limits, we constantly remind ourselves to focus on the applicant rather than the application. This means that we will admit someone despite the application essays if we feel we’ve gotten a good sense of the person overall. Yes, the essays are important. But they are neither our only avenue of understanding you, nor are they disproportionately influential in the admission process. ” 况且外面的范文多如牛毛,这里只是汇总一下题眼。中文里面有些想法,不一定马上能想起英文的字眼。本人为例,最初想到Peace,后来好久才发现Peacefulness这词更贴切。 折中方案,不想公开表态的,可以短信给版主(或我);这样以后录取了,也找不到谁是谁了。  |
