近些年，國民生活水平不斷提高，中國國際地位和影響力也越來越重，于是很多人選擇出國留學，美國是世界上教育質(zhì)量最高的國家之一，很多世界著名大學匯集于此，在這里可以開闊眼界，了解最前沿知識，培養(yǎng)領導力。因此，美國大學深受留學生的歡迎。不過，在申請之前，申請文書是必需品，那么，美國大學申請文書該如何書寫呢?哪些優(yōu)秀范文值得參考，接下來，就隨小編來看看吧，希望對大家有所幫助：

　　一、簡歷，Resume或者是Curriculum Vitae，即個人簡歷。

　　簡歷比較好理解，就是仔細回顧自己以往做過的事情，將這些經(jīng)歷分成不同的部分，如教育背景，工作或?qū)嵙暯?jīng)歷，研究經(jīng)歷，課外活動，個人興趣愛好，等一一羅列起來，其實大家可能覺得簡歷是個簡單的東西，但卻不然!尤其是英文簡歷，準確的英文用詞是能夠瞬間提升簡歷逼格的法寶!曾幫N多同學寫過或是潤色過CV，有些人的簡歷通篇都是have， make，take這些簡單的詞匯，讀起來就是索然無味，切記切記，一篇高大上的CV一定是內(nèi)容全面，重點突出，格式統(tǒng)一，用詞豐富而準確的!

　　二、個人陳述，也就是通常所說的PS，即Personal Statement

　　簡要的說，就是讓你寫出自己的申請動機，讓招生委員會的人了解你，認識你。

　　根據(jù)留學專家寫過幾百篇的經(jīng)驗來看，PS是要回答這么幾個核心的問題：

　　1. 你為什么要選擇這個專業(yè)，你未來的職業(yè)目標是什么?

　　2. 你為什么要選擇入讀這所學校?

　　3. 我們學校為什么要錄取你而不是別人?

　　當然，我不是說你的PS要一成不變是三段結構，分別回答這三個問題，那樣太過呆板!我的意思是如果我能夠從你的PS(或許它的結構非常unique)中找尋到這三個問題的答案，那么這篇PS至少是不會為你的整體申請減分的!

　　研究生的申請，除了少數(shù)的研究型碩士之外，大多是授課型的，學生畢業(yè)后的去向就是職場，那么有著明確的職業(yè)目標，并且知道申請的這個專業(yè)和學校能夠如何幫助自己實現(xiàn)這個目標就是非常重要的!比如，想要去美國讀金融的同學很多希望以后能夠留在美國工作，但在實際的PS當中，我并不建議大家真的這么去寫，首先美國人對于外來人口就業(yè)會有小小的排斥。

　　另外，大家都知道，在美國，外國學生想要進入頂尖的金融金字塔有多難，更別說你一廂情愿的投行里了!所以在制定申請策略時，這些實際的因素必須被考慮到，也必須通過PS來體現(xiàn)出來!

　　三、推薦信，即Recommendation Letter(Letter of Recommendation)

　　推薦信是從第三方的角度來描述一個申請者的優(yōu)缺點，通常需要兩到三封，組合是兩個學術推薦人，一個學術推薦人一個職場推薦人，或兩個學術推薦人一個職場推薦人!

　　推薦信的重要性是有爭議的，有人覺得現(xiàn)在國外的招生官知道中國學生一般是自己寫然后找都是簽個名，所以覺得推薦信不重要!但在朗盟，說實話，我并不知道這個可信度有多高，所以對待推薦信，我們也采取了同樣謹慎而認真的態(tài)度，因為說不定有個學校就是因為你推薦信的某句話而決定要你了呢!所以申請的任何一個環(huán)節(jié)我們都不可能粗心大意!

　　推薦人的選擇，我只堅持一個簡單的原則：找和你的專業(yè)領域相關，對你熟悉并且有話說的人!其它的大牛，牛推這些在我這里都不是關鍵，不需要執(zhí)著!

　　四、Essays

　　如果大家研究過幾所學校的錄取題目，會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們一開始準備的東西可能是非常general的，并不能直接拿來就用，而必須要經(jīng)過一道很復雜也很重要的拋光手續(xù)!

　　這是因為不同的學校通常都會將自己的申請題目設計成好幾道，第一道很可能就是我們通常意義上的PS，但另外的題目則是希望了解申請者的各個方面，比如領導力，個人的興趣愛好或者其它你想要招生官分享的東西!總之，所有這些，我都稱之為essays，曾經(jīng)有一所學校，為申請的同學寫了七篇essay，也真是醉了!

　　五、Writing Sample(WS)

　　如果你想申請傳媒，新聞，社會學等這些領域的研究生，writing sample是學校設計出來專業(yè)測試你的英文水平的!因為這些專業(yè)，一旦入讀，有著大量的paper要讀，也有著大量的paper要寫，所以在錄取時對英語的水平要求就會相應高一些!

　　優(yōu)秀范文賞析

　　College: University of Pennsylvania

　　If an undergraduate's time is spent eating, working, socializing, and sleeping, I expect that I'll spend large chunks of my time in the cafeteria, the libraries, and the dorms. My days will most definitely be hectic. As I run across the quad to my history class, I'll already be thinking of where I'll be heading after that.

　　Sometimes I'll be running to a big round table in the Food Court. This table seems to be a magnet for my eclectic friends. One of the guys, a saxophonist with whom I play the oboe in an ensemble, is trying to get his own avant-garde band some places to play. Another student writes an editorial column for the Daily Pennsylvanian; he always seems to be searching for a hot topic with which he can stir up a ruckus. A French major who sits next to me in French class uses French verbs in conversation, causing some confusion for the rest of us. We tend to talk about everything from the Beastie Boys to the controversy over political correctness. We sit for hours sharing our mashed potatoes and discussing activities to collectively embark on for the weekend. I suggest some rock climbing in the Shawangunks of New York State or an art show in Philadelphia.

　　After my extended repast, I'll be heading for a good place to study. When I have detailed notes to take on the reading for my Social History of China course, I know that the Quad will be way too busy and social for me to get any sizable amounts of work done. I'll have to slip away to the Furness Library. It is so quiet in there that you can hear the students breathing. In the other libraries there is too much commotion caused by people hustling around as they search for references. If I worked in the Van Pelt Library, I know I would speak to everyone who passed by my carrel. Given my extroverted nature, I am safer in a library like Furness.

　　At the end of my day, I'll be heading for my dorm, where the door to my room is hardly ever closed. The people who live in my dorm are definitely an energetic group. Just like molecules being heated in a beaker, they can't sit still. They bounce all over the dorm's halls, in and out of my room, telling me random ridiculous things as they procrastinate about their work. My roommate and I seem to be from different planets. She grew up in Poland, Maine, the small town where my camp was, and I grew up in the big city of Manhattan. At first I'll think that all we have in common is our passion for chocolate. But after living with her for a few weeks, I'll know that we were destined to be together. She'll know when she comes back from a day that just didn't go right at all that I will be there for her to complain to, and I'll understand. She'll do likewise for me. We'll make each other chicken noodle soup and coffee to keep us going on long nights of work. I'll help her decide whether she has a thesis for her paper on Macbeth and then proofread it for her. She'll explain to me again why humans can 't digest cellulose--and then try to convince me that it's better to get up early and work rather than stay up late. We'll order some takeout from her favorite Cantonese restaurant. At 2 a.m., on full stomachs, we'll get some sleep before our 9:00 classes, when once again I'll be rushing across Locust Walk to get to my history class, thinking about where I'll be heading after that.

　　Comments

　　The writer deals inventively with the difficult question "Why are you and this school a good match?" Instead of telling the admissions committee what they already know about the college's curriculum, athletic program, or academic reputation, she tells them what they do not know about: herself. She answers the question by imagining herself in a college routine. She then makes that routine specific to Penn through references to the school newspaper, campus buildings and walks, and a particular history course.

　　What she reveals about herself along the way from cafeteria to library to dorm gives this well-structured essay its zest. The reader learns that she plays the oboe, is a rock climber, goes to art shows, studies history, is extroverted, loves chocolate, treasures her roommate, does not fully understand why humans cannot digest cellulose, and happily digests Chinese takeout at 2 A.M. She is confident enough to write in her own voice, using informal language in an informal essay (''chunks of time,'' ''way too busy and social,'' ''random ridiculous things''). Her lively sense of language comes through in sentences such as, ''It is so quiet in [the Furness Library] that you can hear the students breathing,'' and in her comparison of her dorm neighbors to ''molecules being heated in a beaker.''

　　She is as specific about other details in the essay as she is about herself. The net effect of these well-chosen details--for instance, about her friends' varied interests or how she and her roommate cooperate in their work--suggests that the writer has long been attending the school to which she is applying. Such a commitment to a particular school will impress admissions officers.
