想要申請美國研究生項目的同學(xué)們或多或少都知道文書寫作在整個申請材料中的重要性,甚至,A同學(xué)的硬件條件還不如B同學(xué),但是A同學(xué)卻拿到了B同學(xué)都沒有拿到的offer。和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編一起來看看什么是美國研究生留學(xué)Essay。
那么,美國研究生留學(xué)Essay是必寫的嗎?回答是Essay不是必須的,有些專業(yè)的要求是一篇ps即可(Essay和ps都是文書的一部分。要求ps的學(xué)校基本上不會再要求Essay了,反之,要求Essay的學(xué)校也基本上不會再要求學(xué)生寫ps了)。但是,像金融,會計,MBA,市場營銷這樣的專業(yè)要求申請者寫Essay的學(xué)校還是非常多的。
什么是美國研究生留學(xué)Essay ?
簡單的說,美國研究生留學(xué)Essay就是根據(jù)學(xué)校的題目要求,完成一篇命題作文。
比如,JHU(約翰斯·霍普金斯大學(xué))的金融專業(yè)要求學(xué)生寫一篇Essay。
Business leaders have the ability to create opportunities, build products and systems, and inspire others to action. Please describe a time you created an opportunity, built a new product or system, or inspired others to act. The example you provide and elaborate upon may come from your professional endeavors, academic pursuits or civic engagements. (500 word maximum)
再比如,波士頓學(xué)院的會計專業(yè)要求學(xué)生寫兩篇Essay。
Essay 1: Please discuss how you plan to achieve your short and long term career goals. What challenges will you face and how will you leverage your academic and professional experiences to achieve these goals? (500 words, 12 point font, double-spaced)。
Essay 2: Please indicate your reasons for applying to the Carroll School of Management. What unique characteristics of the Boston College MBA, MSA or MSF program resonate with you both personally and professionally? (500 words, 12 point font, double-spaced)
另外,哥大的MBA要求三個Essay。
Essay 1: Through your resume and recommendations, we have a clear sense of your professional path to date. What are your career goals going forward, and how will the Columbia MBA help you achieve them? (Maximum 500 words)
Essay 2: Columbia Business School’s location enables us to bridge theory and practice in multiple ways: through Master Classes, internships, the New York Immersion Seminars, and, most importantly, through a combination of distinguished research faculty and accomplished practitioners. How will you take advantage of being “at the very center of business”? (Maximum 250 words)
Essay 3: CBS Matter, a key element of the School’s culture, allows the people in your Cluster to learn more about you on a personal level. What will your Clustermates be pleasantly surprised to learn about you? (Maximum 250 words)
學(xué)校要求的美國研究生留學(xué)Essay這么多,好難寫啊,為什么要寫這么多Essay呢,不能一篇ps搞定嗎?學(xué)校要求Essay的目的其實很清楚,他們想要了解你更多,借此判斷你是否適合他們項目。比如通過你分享的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力活動,他們可以判斷你是不是他們看中的未來領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,與他們培養(yǎng)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者是不是一致的。因為有些學(xué)校親睞的是創(chuàng)新型領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,有些是親睞成熟的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,更有些親睞的是目前領(lǐng)導(dǎo)經(jīng)歷不多,但可塑性很強的未來領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。明白了學(xué)校要求寫Essay的目的,相信大家在寫作的時候會更加得心應(yīng)手。
