写日常小事 申进全美第一校 学霸公开4篇录取文书

近日U.S.News美本综合排名更新,麻省理工学院挤掉常年霸榜的普林斯顿大学,成为了全美第一校!

恰好,MIT学长Victor D.在招生博客上公开了自己当年被录取的4篇小文书。

我靠写日常小事,申进全美第一牛校!一学霸公开4篇录取文书…

没有拯救世界的宏大叙事,也没有刻意卖惨。看完他的文书,你会发现:原来,写好生活里的小事,照样能打动全美第一校的招生官。

今天我们就来拆解一下这位学长的写作思路,顺便帮大家盘一盘MIT今年最新的文书题目!

01、如何把小事写得讨人喜欢?

第一篇:学术兴趣(100字)

题目:目前你最感兴趣的研究领域是什么?

What field of study appeals to you the most right now?

应用编程和地理信息系统来可视化行人碰撞数据,以此倡导主动交通基础设施建设,这让我看到了城市规划与计算机科学相结合的巨大潜力。

The application of programming and GIS to visualize pedestrian collision data to advocate for active transportation infrastructure introduced me to the potential of planning + computer science.

我很渴望去研究人与建成环境的互动,也想探索数据如何作为推动变革的工具。通过 11-6 课程,我可以去探索自己广泛的兴趣,包括伦理学、设计、统计学、机器人技术以及公共政策。我可以把这些不同学科连接起来,进而去解决很多难题,例如交通排放问题、数据中的社会与种族偏见,还有城市食品沙漠现象。

I'm eager to study human interactions in the built environment and data as a change agent. By exploring my eclectic interests through Course 11-6—ethics, design, statistics, robotics, and public-policy—I can draw connections between disciplines to tackle challenges: transportation emissions, social and racial bias in data, and urban food deserts.

在麻省理工学院,我希望能与他人共同协作、创新与设计。我们要去倡导无障碍且可持续的设施环境,并包容多元价值。团队合作创造无限可能。

At MIT, I hope to collaborate with others to innovate and design to advocate for accessible, barrier-free, and sustainable environments that embrace diversity. Teamwork invents.

老师说

Victor申请的是MIT的交叉学科:城市科学与规划+计算机(Course 11-6)。他没有空喊“我多么热爱计算机”,而是把高中做过的具体事情穿插了进去。比如用编程和地理信息系统(GIS)去分析行人车祸数据,以此呼吁改善城市交通。接着他又把机器人、统计学、伦理学等多元兴趣串在一起,表明自己想用数据解决城市食品荒漠和交通排放问题。

思路借鉴:很多同学写学术兴趣,容易陷入空洞。这位学长的聪明之处在于,他点出高中做过的具体项目,再把自己的各种小兴趣串在一起,告诉招生官:“看,这就是我为什么选这个专业?”

第二篇:为了乐趣做的事(225字)

题目:你平时纯粹为了开心会做些什么?

推荐

Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it.

草莓、蓝莓、酸奶、杏仁还有橙汁。量好份量,把它们统统塞进榨汁机,然后……变!我太喜欢做果昔了。

Strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, almonds, and orange juice. Measure portions, pop them in the blender, and… presto! I love smoothie making.

作为一名资深果昔专家,我练就了因地制宜和随机应变的能力。打果昔有点像做化学实验,但我可以大胆尝试,完全不用担心引发事故。有时候想做草莓香蕉果昔却没有香蕉,没关系,换成苹果就好!要是家里什么食材都没有了,我就骑车去超市买。只要能拿到原料,我就一定能喝上果昔。

As a pro-smoothie-maker, I've fostered resourcefulness and adaptability. Blending smoothies is kinda like chemistry but I can be significantly more liberal with my experimentation without… accidents. Sometimes, there aren't bananas for a strawberry-banana smoothie; no worries, just use an apple instead! If there aren't any ingredients, I'll bike to the supermarket. As long I can obtain materials, I *will* have my smoothie.

我是芒果拉西(Mango Lassi)的忠实爱好者兼鉴赏家。可惜离我最近的印度餐厅有点远。某个晚上,我一边品尝着拉西,一边思考着下一杯的着落,脑子里突然冒出一个念头:为什么不干脆自己做呢?

I'm an avid Mango Lassi enthusiast and connoisseur. Unfortunately, the nearest Indian restaurant is a ways away. Whilst sipping Lassi one evening—perhaps pondering my next—I thought: Why not just make it?

我向朋友们请教了各自的配方,接着去查阅了这种饮品的古老历史,从文化视角来还原它的风味。我按比例准备好酸奶、牛奶、芒果、蜂蜜和小豆蔻,妈妈还建议加点肉桂来丰富口感。经历了几个月的尝试和品尝,我终于调制出了一杯绝妙的芒果拉西。

I consulted friends about their recipes, then researched the drink's ancient history for a cultural perspective to recreate Lassi. I partitioned yogurt, milk, mango, honey, and cardamom spice accordingly, and Mom suggested cinnamon for extra punch. And finally!—after months of experimenting and tasting, I blended a most delectable Mango Lassi.

做果昔是一种放松又有趣的方式,既能发挥创意,又能拉近与他人的距离。毕竟好的饮品就该大家一起分享,这种体验能跨越代沟和差异。我和父母一起做早餐时,我专门负责打果昔。小表弟小表妹来家里串门时,我们就会一起做奶昔。我很享受这种大家聚在一起、共同细品果昔的时光。

Smoothies are an enjoyable and relaxing way to exercise creativity while connecting with others. After all, drinks should be enjoyed together—an experience that transcends generational gaps and differences. When my parents and I make breakfast, I'm on smoothie duty. When my little cousins visit, we make milkshakes. I take pleasure in sipping smoothies, communally.

老师说

MIT想了解你私底下的兴趣爱好。很多学生会写听音乐、打游戏、骑车。但Victor选了一个新奇的切入点:做果昔(Smoothie)。他把做果昔写得像做化学实验,配料没有了就骑车去买,甚至为了喝到一口正宗的印度芒果拉西(Mango Lassi),自己动手查历史食谱、折腾几个月去复刻。最后,他把做果昔升华到了与家人朋友分享、跨越代沟的温馨体验。

思路借鉴:学长后来回顾时也笑称,当时就是想选一个“既古怪又有趣”的话题。招生官每天看几千份申请,绝大多数人都在写打球、弹钢琴...如果你能像他一样,把做果昔这种生活日常写得趣味盎然,又能展现出自己爱折腾、乐于分享的好性格,就能瞬间让招生官记住你。

第三篇:社区贡献(225字)

题目:你如何与不同背景的人合作,为社区做出贡献?

MIT brings people with diverse backgrounds and experiences together to better the lives of others. Our students work to improve their communities in different ways, from tackling the world's biggest challenges to being a good friend. Describe one way you have collaborated with people who are different from you to contribute to your community.

去年,我的欧洲历史老师让我主持每周的辅导研讨会,帮助大家备考 AP 考试以及补拿学分。

Last year, my European History teacher asked me to host weekly workshops for AP test preparation and credit recovery opportunities:

“大卫像,米开朗基罗,1504 年。”

David, Michelangelo 1504.

“为什么答案是这个?”我的辅导对象问我。
