最新!快来免费领取《纽约时报》最佳文书!被哈佛、耶鲁等录取的文书原来是这样写的
每年美国大学申请结束后,《纽约时报》都会邀请即将高中毕业升入大学的当季申请人递交申请文书,《纽约时报》会从中精心选出几篇刊登出来。往年基本上在5-6月份《纽约时报》就会刊登出来这些优秀文书,今年因为疫情,直到8月末读者才能读到这些优秀的文书。
提供这些文书的学生不少被哈佛、耶鲁、普林斯顿、哥伦比亚等大学录取。可以说,这些原汁原味的文书能够让我们看到那些被藤校录取的学生真实的个人故事、经历和思想。
在美国大学申请中,写文书对中国学生来说一直是一个令人头疼的问题。首先挖掘合适的题材就很难,在写作中如何切合美国人的思维方式又是一个大问题,很多中国文书有着强烈的“Chinglish”的风格让招生官一看就Say No。而美国学生在文书中则常常会有比较多细节描写,善于表达个性化,敢于突出“我”的想法和声音,这些都是中国学生的文书非常欠缺的。参阅这些文书,对未来的申请人将有很大的借鉴意义!

2020年《纽约时报》年度大学申请优秀文书——
文书作者:Julius Ewungkem Jr.
所在地区:宾夕法尼亚州
录取院校:哈佛大学
文书节选:
Some challenges transcend time, constantly popping up in different forms
As a society, we strive to quantify success
“If you work hard, you’ll see results”
This phrase is constantly used to blame others
And a specific group of people have felt the brunt of this attack
Yes, slavery in the U.S. was abolished over 150 years ago
But let me paint a picture
Let’s say your great-great-great-grandmother was a newly liberated slave in 1863.
How free is she truly?

文书节选:
If I had it my way, I’d never set foot in a Home Depot ever again.
Every Ace Hardware, every Lowe’s, every boutique tile place, every obscure little hardware store that only sells Phillips-head screwdrivers smells the same way: dusty. Sawdust, catdust, paint-flake-dust, laminate-dust, ancient-grumpy-cashier-dust. It’s post-apocalyptic, the shuffling shoppers dead-eyed from looking at a thousand identical refrigerators, fluorescent tube lights casting ultramarine pallor over their faces.
We kill tigers, you see.

录取院校:密歇根大学
文书节选:
My friends and peers don’t understand my relationship with Big Betsy. This is mainly due to the fact that Big Betsy is far older, louder, and larger than what is considered “normal” at my school. She is constantly surrounded by others who serve the same exact purpose, but are more elegant.
Big Betsy was always different. Every time I went out with her I could feel judgmental eyes wondering why a kid like me would even want anything to do with her. Despite this, I was always proud of her and what we accomplished together. She was made fun of relentlessly, but I always knew deep down that we had something special together.

文书节选:
Twist, bend, through the loop. Repeat.
It took me a month to crochet my first blanket. One month of twisting, bending, sending my hook through the loop, and repeating. It was an almost meditative pastime. I spent bus rides and evenings working on my blanket, determined to finish.
I learned to crochet so that I could feel closer to my mother. I poured my heart into every stitch. Each square of the blanket meant something different; the colors represented memories. It was a summary of my life.
