文书类别

美国高中申请文书主要包括推荐信、短问答、父母陈述及文章写作四个类别,下文给大家分享申请文书各类别的字数、要求等:

推荐信(Recommendation)

要求较为固定,通常情况下需要就读学校的数学老师/英语老师/班主任/年级主任或校长各写一封。有些学校会额外要求再提供一封老师或着教练的个人推荐信。

短问答(Short Answer)

格式最为简单,100多个英文单词即可,包括申请者的教育背景、兴趣爱好、价值观念、目标计划等。学校从这些信息中可以判定该学生对于出国留学是否做好了充分的准备,能否适应美国高中的学习和生活环境等。

例:1) What reading have you enjoyed most in the past year and why?在过去的一年中你最喜欢读的是什么书?为什么?

2) Please note anything more you would like us to know about you. 请列出你希望招生办公室知道的关于你的任何事情。

此部分的主要目的是从父母的角度了解学生的情况,以及了解家庭背景、 教育理念、文化信仰等。

例:1) What qualities of character and mind in your daughter or son most delight you?你们的女儿或儿子的什么特点或品质使你们引以为豪?

2) What has posed the biggest academic and/or extracurricular challenge for your child?你们孩子过去在学业和课外活动中最大的挑战是什么?

对中学生的要求一般是写四五百字。美国学校通过学生的Essay,既要了解学生的英文书面表达能力,又要查看了解学生的思想和思维,学生一定要认真对待。‍

例:Please choose one of these statements and then write a 250—500 word response to it.请从下面的题目中选择一个,用250—500字回答。
