10、现在你手上应该有一大把的经历想要来诉说。你可以深入描述一段经历,也可以写多个经历,但是写的事情越多,每件事情可能就不能做到非常深入了。下面给出一些指导来帮助你narrowdowntopic. Findingpatternconnects一定要寻找那些跟你申请的program相关的经历 Conveyingsomethingmeaningful一定要找到一个能展现你独一无二personality的经历 Paintingportrait一定要全面展现出你的能力,如果你只说自己的一段经历,这段经历应该能全面展现你的各方面能力;如果你要说自己的多种经历,这些经历之间应该互为补充。Standingout一
11、定要突出的unique的地方,如果你觉得实在很难做到unique,那就bepersonal. Keepingreadersinterest从别人的角度来思考,如果你是读者,你读这篇文章的时候会想要了解更多吗?Stayinggroundeddetail一定要用事实说话,一切言语都要建立在事实证据的基础之上。Answeringquestion每个学校针对PS提的问题可能不一样,一定要保证你选的topic能回答大部分学校的大部分问题,PS也要根据学校的问题进行适当调整。avoid一下几点千万要避免!Resortinggimmicks不要用那些小花招,小伎俩,咱还是应该严肃点Focusing应该重点突
12、出你的positiveattribute Repeatinginformationthatlistedelsewhere千万别重复那些你在简历里已经展现出来的东西,需要展现你更加personal的东西 toocontroversialSeekingpitydescribemisfortunesdisadvantagedbackground,dothemexcusebadperformancesseekpity.Doingsoonlycouldsoundmanipulative,alsomeanshaventemphasizedstrengthssufficiently.Thus,casewea
13、knesses,bringuppastshowthem.想要通过PS来解释自己某方面不足的同学请特别注意上面第二点和第五点。注意表现你positive的一面,表现你如何克服困难的一面,少些negative的东西,也不要刻意去解释什么。一步步教你怎么写PS(三)Graduatestatementthemes:你必须搞清楚的几个问题:Whyattendschoolfield,whychooseapplyparticularschoolprogram?qualificationsadmission?Thefutureoverpastadmissionofficer想要从PS看三点:你来自哪里?你想从
14、我们的program中得到什么?你未来的打算是什么?你的PS应该重在未来的职业规划,而不是重复过去的荣耀。如果你过去的经历确实很出彩,一定要多一些分析,不要罗列你的成绩 School?Earlyexposurefield:避免用一些陈词滥调,比如“Ialwayswantedto.Dorelysolelyinitialreasonforgetjustifychoicerecentexperiences.讲一些你小时候的事情可能可以吸引读者,一些小时候的兴趣爱好如何发展成为学术喜好的呢?Goals明确自己未来的职业发展目标。很多人可能会说自己会进入学术界,那么为了使你的goals显得与众不同一些,
15、你必须突出自己特殊的researchinterest;对于想要到学术之外的领域发展的人,必须identifyissueexplainoriginevolutioninterest.Researchinterests有些学校会让你写个statementpurpose来表明你的研究兴趣,你可以认为你的读者是一个faculty,但是一个不是专家的人应该也能津津有味地看下去 Addressingschool(在我们写每一个学校的PS的时候,都要做大量的搜索工作!) researchownsake,course,discussingdiscoveriesconvinceadmissionsgoodfit
