Chapter 293 Requirements for Writing an Application

"Remember to take all the materials, transcripts, recommendation letters, social activity certificates. And, the application, don't forget to ask the teacher how to write it, and remember to thank the teacher when you finish writing"

"Oh, I got it, I got it! Is your son still not able to do this? That's too bad to be a person, right?! I'm not such an uneducated person!"

Putting on a schoolbag that was much lighter than before, Carter hurriedly left the house and rushed to school.

At this time, mid-January has passed, including the time for preparing materials, mailing the application, and the review time for the admissions officers of the target university.It can be said that the AP exam is already a certainty!

Not to mention that there is no Chinese subject that can make Carter cheat on the AP exam these years, but the university in the previous life was not for nothing, right?For the target universities with more advantages in application: Yale and Princeton, when Carter selected courses in the second half of last year, he aimed at the direction of sociology, anthropology and East Asian studies corresponding to Yale's undergraduate majors.

As for math at Princeton? !
Smacking his lips, he parked his reliable old Mustang in the parking lot, and Carter twisted up his schoolbag and walked towards Almond's administration building
The school is not big, and not many students apply to the university.Especially in recent years, the economic downturn has made many students who were expected to enter the university campus, but now they can only stand in the corridor of the teaching building, with their hands on the railings, and their eyes are full of envy. Lead Carter and the others to the principal's office
It can be seen from the university admission system that education fairness is a joke in the United States!
Noticing the eyes of the students, Carter was inevitably a little ashamed.Because taking this diploma is more like gold-plating and treating it as a larger social platform than those four eyes looking at me eagerly at the railing.

In academic research, if you can mix it up, you can mix it up. To use shameless words, it means "Long live the pass, and a little more waste".
To waste educational resources is to say that I am a "moth", "rat", and a leech in the field of American education!
However, this little moral guilt can't stop Carter from moving forward.As I heard Goodman and Hayes say at the beginning, as a human being, one should maintain the correct value orientation and moral bottom line; but as a social person emmm, a person with social attributes, then he should understand what he needs to do and what he needs to bear. what.
Carter will not be proud and complacent because he has seized other people's resources, but will despise others and be arrogant, but he will not be so stupid as to give up the duck that is full of mouths to others.

"Carter, come in quickly, you are the only one missing! Please close the door by the way"

"Yes, Mrs. Mary."

After closing the door of the principal's office, Carter had the time to look at the people around him.Except for Mrs. Mary, there are less than 30 Almond students who need to apply for university this time.Considering that there was an early application in November last year, the actual number should be a little more than this, but the overall base.
It is still incomparable to the thousands of troops in China crossing the single-plank bridge
"Okay, now that everyone is here. Let's get started quickly and try to minimize the impact on your course progress. First, I will provide you with guidance on application essay writing, but this does not mean that I will do it for you. You take care of everything."

"The step you take when you enter the university campus is also improving your socialization. Learning to write documents is a step you must go through to become some white-collar workers after graduating from university."

Holding several people's high school transcripts and school recommendation letters in her hand, Mrs. Mary walked up to everyone one by one while talking.It seemed a little solemn to hand over the materials in his hand to every child who was about to leave the campus. Even after the application was completed, they still had more than two months of campus life.

"I hope that each of you can learn to create original works that are unique to each of you. No matter whether you have performed well in academics during the years of living and studying in Elmond; whether you have participated in some quite A contest of gold content; whether you have been the president of the student union or a leader of a club."

"Even if it is mediocre, it has its own insights and gains. That is something that belongs to you alone. The application documents need to be properly beautified, but remember, don't over-boast or over-pack yourself. Even if you all You are my student, when an admissions officer calls to question your resume, I will only truthfully tell the other party your real situation."

"thanks."

Smiling and softly thanking Mrs. Mary for his own materials, Carter always felt that the other party's eyes kept falling on him.It seems that he doubts that he will pour water into his resume.

Unfortunately, the old lady guessed right!Carter is indeed planning to pour water into the resume of campus activities, otherwise it will easily appear too worthless, isn't it?
"Gentlemen with stellar grades, and ladies, listen up!"

"When writing an application essay, don't take the things that are clearly stated in the transcript, and write it again in the application! For example, how good my grades are, how high my high school rank is, you don't need to say it, it's all on the transcript. What you have to do is to tell a story and tell the admissions officer through the story: why do I choose a certain major, what advantages do I have in this major, for example, I feel that learning it makes me happy, and I have enough enthusiasm for learning , or a strong target"

"The essence of the application is to make the admissions officers feel that if you are not admitted, it will be a loss for the school in the future! An application written with this effect is a good application!"

Mrs. Mary, who had just finished distributing a round of basic materials, walked back to her desk, reached out to pick up some materials from the desk again, and continued to distribute:

"What I'm giving you now is a sample essay for reference. You can take a look at how to write, and remember not to plagiarize!"

"For those whose grades are not so outstanding, the focus of your application letter needs to be shifted to personal qualities. You can tell a story about persistence. In your life, whether you Persist in even trivial things, and explore and improve step by step in the process of persistence."

"Let the admissions officer see your persistence and your heart that has never lost the desire to explore even though you are stupid. This is the most effective way for you to impress the admissions officer!"

"Finally, it's you Carter. I see your application goals. The first one is Yale University. Don't you know that Yale University has one of the highest requirements for application essays?"

Carter, who arrived at the scene last, was the last to take the sample essay from Mrs. Mary.Hearing this, he could only blink innocently, where did he know this kind of thing? !

"Forget it, take a look at the article in your hand. Your recommendation letter and social resources are much richer than this candidate named Under Armor. If you write according to the article, it is not hopeless."
