2023秋季達特茅斯學院入學申請補充文書題目公布

近日，隨著申請季的開啟，美國大學陸續公布新申請季的文書題目，昨天給大家分享了康奈爾大學補充文書題目，今天一起來看下2023秋季達特茅斯學院入學申請補充文書題目。今年大毛的補充文書要求有3個必寫題目，比去年增加一篇。
1. Required of all applicants. Please respond in 100 words or fewer:
Dartmouth celebrates the ways in which its profound sense of place informs its profound sense of purpose. As you seek admission to Dartmouth's Class of 2027, what aspects of the College's academic program, community, or campus environment attract your interest? In short, Why Dartmouth? Please respond in 100 words or fewer.
2. Required of all applicants. Please respond in 200-250 words:
"Be yourself," Oscar Wilde advised. "Everyone else is taken." Introduce yourself in 200-250 words.
3. Required of all applicants. Please choose one of the following prompts and respond in 200-250 words:
A. Labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta recommended a life of purpose. "We must use our lives to make the world a better place to live, not just to acquire things," she said. "That is what we are put on the earth for." In what ways do you hope to make—or are you making—an impact?
B. What excites you?
C. In The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, William Kamkwamba '14 reflects on constructing a windmill from recycled materials to power electrical appliances in his family's Malawian house: "If you want to make it, all you have to do is try." What drives you to create and what do you hope to make or have you made?
D. Dr. Seuss, aka Theodor Geisel of Dartmouth's Class of 1925, wrote, "Think and wonder. Wonder and think." What do you wonder and think about?
E. "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced," wrote James Baldwin. How does this quote apply to your life experiences?
在大學申請材料中，文書起到什么作用？
招生官認為，文書也賦予申請材料生命力。如果失去了你的個性，你的學術興趣和課外活動只是一張課程和活動的列表而已。而讓申請材料真正脫穎而出的是你用自己獨特的語言為這張列表編織的敘事。

如果不知道文書怎么寫，招生官給出了以下建議：
1、不要覺得你必須寫我從來沒讀到過的東西。因為首先，這會讓你對自己施加的壓力過于龐大。而且有時，寫一些讀者可能從來沒聽說過的東西并不是良策：作者既會增加解釋不清和困惑讀者的風險，又會壓縮敘事部分和思辨內容的空間。一個普通的話題，加入作者獨特的思考，反而會使文章脫穎而出。
2、要努力呈現你人格中獨特的一面。當然，這獨特的一面也可以是我剛剛談到的、你與眾不同的話題?；蛟S這獨特的一面是你對一個極其普通的話題的獨到見解?；蛟S沒人理解你為何對分離不定式、政治斗爭、或者豪豬有如此深的執著（分享一個招生官讀到的小故事：你知道豪豬對天敵的防御是通過先讓對方追趕、再突然停下來使對方撞到刺上來實現的嗎？）要把你的主文書看作一次解釋你為何對這些事物如此執著的機會——這才是一個好的開端。
不少大陸申請者都有爬藤夢想，而大毛是招生人數最少的藤校，每年在大陸錄取學生也非常有限，去年的錄取率僅有6.2%，因此，想爬藤的申請者，一定要盡早認真準備文書創作。
