大学申请文书如何“反套路”? 这样写才对!

大学申请文书如何“反套路”? 这样写才对!

文书材料到底怎么才能打动招生官?

找专业人士修改自己的文书

基本已经是大部分申请人的常规操作了

但是市面上修改文书的机构非常多,

对于希望拿到Offer的同学来说,

到底选择谁来把关你的文书呢?

 

 
Q:Hi Erin, thank you for accepting our interview. Could you please introduce yourself to our fellow students?
嗨,Erin,谢谢您接受我们的采访,可以向我们的学生和家长介绍一下自己吗?
 
 

Hi, thank you so much for having me! I am a student within Rotman Commerce at the University of Toronto specializing in Management with a minor in Economics and Contemporary Asian Studies. I am involved with the Rotman Commerce Advancement office as an ambassador, as well as being the Director of Marketing at the University of Toronto Korean Commerce Community. I have a strong passion for reducing stigma surrounding mental health and mentoring other students.

我是Rotman Commerce的一名学生,主修管理专业,辅修经济学和经济学与当代亚洲研究。我目前在Rotman Commerce Advancement 担任大使的职务,以在Rotman商学院韩国学生学群担任市场总监 。对于心理健康以及指导其他学生我有非常强烈的兴趣与热情。
 

 

 

Q:You teach a lot of university application subjects in Uforse Education, which one is your favorite to teach and why?

您在英狮教育教授许多大学应用学科,您最喜欢的学科之一 是哪一个?为什么?
  

My personal favorite university application subject to teach is for Rotman. Other than obvious reasons of me being a student myself, I appreciate the various types of questions Rotman presents. I believe that every application, both in the written and spoken form, needs to tell a story about who you are and what kind of skills you have. The Rotman application asks questions that highlight this, and although it is difficult, I have seen my students grow the most through this application process.
我最喜欢教的是针对Rotman商学院的大学申请。首先,因为我本人是Rotman商学院的学生,其次我非常欣赏学生们提出的关于罗特曼商学院的各类问题。我相信,无论是文书材料还是面试部分,都需要讲一个有关你是谁以及拥有何种技能的故事。Rotman商学院会提出一些突出这一问题的方法,尽管这很困难,但在过往的申请辅导中,我看到我的学生在此申请过程中都有非常大的进步。
 
 

 

Q:大学的补充申请中,您在国际学生写作时看到的最常见问题是什么 ?

What is the most common problem you see on International students when they are writing supplementary applications for universities?

  

One common problem that I notice among students is that they tend to include unnecessary information within their applications just to fill the word count. The word count that each school provides is the space for students to fully elaborate on their experiences and express themselves to the best of their abilities. Thus, including ‘fluff’, or irrelevant information takes away from the storytelling aspect of the application.
我注意到学生中的一个普遍问题是他们倾向于概括很多不必要的信息只是为了填充字数。关于字数限制,每所学校提供的是学生们充分阐述自己空间,体验并尽力表达自己。因此,很多冗余以及不相关的信息会不利于你的“故事”阐述。
 
 
 
Q:What is your suggestion to your students on improving their video interview skills?
您对学生提高视频面试技巧有什么建议呢?
 
 
I often see students lack confidence during video interviews. I notice they tend to doubt their existing skills and abilities, which often leads to hesitation. I think students should trust themselves and know that with practice they are more than capable of successfully completing the interview with confidence!
 
我经常看到学生在视频面试中缺乏信心。我注意到他们倾向于怀疑他们现有的技能和能力,这常常导致犹豫。我认为学生应该相信自己,并知道通过练习他们有能力自信地完成面试!
 
 
 

Q:University application season is starting, any other advice on how to do well in the

supplementary applications?大学申请季节已经开始,有关如何在大学中补充材料取得良好成绩的其他建议吗?

 

Like I mentioned before, confidence is key to everything! One additional advice I would give is to read over your essays with time in between. Go for a nice walk, refresh your mind, then read over your writing. This can decrease stress and make it easier for you to spot mistakes and make better edits.
 
正如我之前提到的,信心是一切的关键!我会提出的另一项建议是写完文书材料后,散步,放松一下心情,然后阅读你的文书。这样可以减轻压力,并使你更容易发现错误并进行更好的修改。
 
 
 

Q:Anything you want to share about your university program? (Or university life, work life)

关大学课程的任何信息吗?(或大学生活,工作生活)有可以分享给同学们的吗?

 

Rotman is definitely busy, and it is difficult to keep up with many extra-curriculars, work, and school at the same time. However, if you are eager, there are many activities to take part of and you will never be bored! I also love the community of students and faculty members at the University of Toronto.

Rotman商学院学习肯定很忙,很难跟上许多课外活动。但是,如果你希望参加课外活动的话,可以尽可能的参加一些活动,很多活动都非常有意思!我也非常喜欢和多伦多大学的同学们和教师社区 多伦多大学的成员们相处!

 

 

Q:What else do you want to say to your students who are applying to universities this year?

您还想对今年申请大学的学生说些什么?

 

 

I wish everyone the best of luck! Everything happens for a reason, and regardless of the results I guarantee that your efforts will be worth while.

祝大家好运!一切都是有原因的,无论结果如何,我可以保证的是努力将是值得的。

Rotman商学院文书审核官说过这样一段话:
“If applicants have a really amazing supplemental, [with grades] a little bit lower than the cut-off, we would have another look at them and discuss them,” “Conversely, we could have students with a really high average and not good supplementals, and refuse them. Students have to have both.”——Jeffery Trapp
 
也就是说如果你的分数差了一点,但是你的辅助材料(文书,视频面试等表现非常优异那么你也是可能被录取的,而相反,即使你的GPA很高,但是文书材料很差那么也可能被拒。)
而2020年Rotman商学院增加了文书与视频面试难度,过往都是3道题目,2020年变成了5道。
 

别担心!

 

无论你想要申请哪一所顶尖商学院,文书与面试都是你需要花心思重点准备的一步!也是重中之重!

 

不论你对于写文书毫无头绪,还是完美主义者,对于自己的文书修改了一遍又一遍还不敢提交!
