芝加哥大學(xué)補(bǔ)充文書(shū)
芝加哥大學(xué)的文書(shū),不僅字?jǐn)?shù)要求不少,更要命的是題目年年換,不變的是總能讓人看得云里霧里,根本無(wú)從下手。
你說(shuō)文書(shū)是六選一,總有一個(gè)題目是好寫(xiě)的吧?那還真的不一定!
不信?那就讓我們一個(gè)個(gè)來(lái)看看芝加哥大學(xué)最新的補(bǔ)充文書(shū)題目吧。
Essay Option 1
Who does Sally sell her seashells to? How much wood can a woodchuck really chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Pick a favorite tongue twister (either originally in English or translated from another language) andconsider a resolution to its conundrum using the method of your choice. Math, philosophy, linguistics… it’s all up to you (or your woodchuck).
—Inspired by Blessing Nate, Class of 2024
啊?Sally是誰(shuí)?土撥鼠又是什么鬼?還要用我數(shù)學(xué)或哲學(xué)解決繞口令的難題???
算了,看不懂,我們先看下一題:
What can actually be divided by zero?
—Inspired by Mai Vu, Class of 2024
這次題目短了,我能看懂了它在問(wèn)什么了!
等等……但是,什么能被零除呢?它究竟想讓我寫(xiě)些什么東西?
那,先下一題?
The seven liberal arts in antiquity consisted of the Quadrivium — astronomy, mathematics, geometry, and music — and the Trivium — rhetoric, grammar, and logic. Describe your own take on the Quadrivium or the Trivium. What do you think is essential for everyone to know?
—Inspired by Peter Wang, Class of 2022
Quadrivium和Trivium是啥意思呀?原諒我英文學(xué)得不太好,先讓我查查字典去……
這樣吧,再看下一題:
Subway maps, evolutionary trees, Lewis diagrams. Each of these schematics tells the relationships and stories of their component parts. Reimagine a map, diagram, or chart. If your work is largely or exclusively visual, please include a cartographer’s key of at least 300 words to help us best understand your creation.
—Inspired by Maximilian Site, Class of 2020
這,直接要我畫(huà)畫(huà)了?抱歉呢,我美術(shù)不太好,真的做不到啊……
下一題吧……

這這這……還是完全沒(méi)有思路啊!
先不想了,反正都看到這兒了,最后一題也先看了吧!

Scientist Percy Lebaron Spencer found a melted chocolate bar in his magnetron lab and discovered microwave cooking. Dye-works owner Jean BaptisteJolly found his tablecloth clean after a kerosene lamp was knocked over on it, consequently shaping the future of dry cleaning. Describe a creative or interesting solution, and then find the problem that it solves.
—Inspired by Steve Berkowitz, AB’19, andNeeharika Venuturupalli, Class of 2024
這次又是要讓我成為大發(fā)明家!我這個(gè)普普通通的腦子能想出什么厲害的創(chuàng)意啊?!
如此說(shuō)來(lái),六個(gè)題目竟沒(méi)有一個(gè)是能寫(xiě)的,哈哈。
南加州大學(xué)補(bǔ)充文書(shū)
南加大的文書(shū)題目比起芝加哥大學(xué)的,還是要容易理解很多的。
先是一篇250字的Why Major文書(shū),可以套用寫(xiě)給其他學(xué)校的文書(shū),簡(jiǎn)單!
再有三選一的250字文書(shū):
1. USC believes that one learns best when interacting with people of different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Tell us about a time when you were exposed to a new idea or when your beliefs were challenged by another point of view. Please discuss the significance of the experience and its effect on you.
2. USC faculty place an emphasis on interdisciplinary academic opportunities. Describe something outside of your intended academic focus about which you are interested in learning.
3. What is something about yourself that is essential to understanding you?
還可以接受吧……至少題目簡(jiǎn)單直白,也算是比較常見(jiàn)的文書(shū)題目,說(shuō)不定也能套用文書(shū)。
你以為到這里就結(jié)束了嗎?不不不,你也太天真了,這是大多數(shù)美國(guó)大學(xué)的補(bǔ)充文書(shū)要求,但可不是南加大的,重頭戲還在后頭呢!
Respond to all the prompts below (100 characters unless otherwise specified)
1. Describe yourself in three words (25characters each)
2. What is your favorite snack?
3. Best movie of all time
4. Dream job
5. If your life had a theme song, what would it be?
6. Dream trip
7. What TV show will you binge-watch next?
8. Which well-known person or fictional character would be your ideal roommate?
9. Favorite Book
10. If you could teach a class on any topic, what would it be?
這么多問(wèn)題,100個(gè)字符這么少的字?jǐn)?shù)要求,它難道是在要求我填寫(xiě)調(diào)查問(wèn)卷???
我最喜歡的零食?我喜歡的零食可多了,要我挑一個(gè),那我選擇困難癥犯了,可得好好想想。
但是,它問(wèn)這些又有什么意義呢?是不是和招生官喜歡的零食一樣,他就會(huì)錄我了!
維克森林大學(xué)補(bǔ)充文書(shū)
在新冠疫情爆發(fā)之前,維克森林可是為數(shù)不多實(shí)行Test-Optional政策的大學(xué)之一,而且排名也很不錯(cuò),對(duì)申請(qǐng)生的吸引力不可謂不小,之所以沒(méi)有被擠爆,一大部分都得歸功于它的補(bǔ)充文書(shū)實(shí)在是過(guò)于勸退。
倒也不是題目陰間,就是數(shù)量陰間,真的要寫(xiě)很多多多多篇文書(shū):
Part A: List five books you’ve read that intrigued you.
Part B: Explain how a work of fiction you've read has helped you to understand the world’s complexity. (150 words)
Tell us more about the topic that most engages your intellectual curiosity. (150 words)
Describe a community that is important to you. How has that community prepared you to engage with, change, or even build the Wake Forest community? (150 words)
Give us your Top Ten list. There is a space to name the Theme of the list, and 10 separate lines for each item, with a character limit of 100 each.
看看Prompt 4,Top Ten list!十項(xiàng),項(xiàng)項(xiàng)要認(rèn)真想,這可比寫(xiě)一篇一般的補(bǔ)充文書(shū)要費(fèi)腦多了。
而且,要交的文書(shū)還遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不止這些呢,還有兩篇,一篇是Why School文書(shū),還有一篇自選主題的250-650字文書(shū)。
