发牢骚：Berkeley的Personal History Statement真难写

如题。一个中国人来美国求学还不能说明一切吗？

oIf you are an underrepresented minority, woman, person from the LGBT community, veteran, student with a disability (visible or invisible), and you have faced challenges and still managed to excel in and/or outside of the classroom, the Personal History Statement is the place to describe these experiences.

oCommon themes used by current students are listed below. You are not limited to this list; it is meant to help spark ideas. It is your responsibility and opportunity to write a Personal History Statement that reflects your own experience and accomplishments.

LZ啊，你这个都给出你哪一段该写什么，你回答问题就是了。那种没给任何框架的才叫难写。你不知道有的学校多么变态，在要求了提出了8个问题，希望你很具体地回答出来，但是最多只能写2页。还有的学校，比如wustl貌似要写三个小essay，变态得发指啊！！！

For wustl, I only submit the first essay. Then I ask them to refer to first essay when I answer the left two essays--self-destructive~

I did not answer all of them except: "Personal History Statement that reflects your own experience and accomplishments"
断章取义即可

其实花在ps上面的时间大多都是无用功，没几个学校会真正去看这个。

如果你最后被wustl录了，这就成为一段传奇了
