虽然现在距2015-16Common申请的开放日8月1日,还有5天的时间,但不少大学已经发布了他们的补充文书题目(supplemental essay prompts),这样申请者们就可以提前准备他们大学申请的文书。
目前来说,学生申请多达10所或者更多的大学已经屡见不鲜。一半来书,选校包括目标学校、可达到学校和保底学校,所有学校都是基于学生个人要求、学术要求和费用要求的最佳选择。有了自己的选校清单后,就需要关注学校要求学生写的补充文书题目:一般每个学校两到三篇,所以名校的申请者可能整个申请季下来要写20篇甚至更多文书。文书写作工作量非常大,在高三学年的确让人抓狂。
这也是为什么越来越多的大学今年夏天就提前公布文书题目,包括那些非通用申请系统的大学。这样,申请者们就可以赶在高三忙乱期之前提早进行头脑风暴和文书写作了。
