The purpose of the document is very strong, that is, to let the school know that you are fully qualified and capable of studying the major you applied for. Science and liberal arts

Art should follow different principles according to their different characteristics. The specialty of science and engineering is very professional, and the key point is to use rational and logical language to reflect the in-depth understanding or research of this specialty and professional attitude. But if you want to apply for liberal arts, art management majors (such as

Education) or language majors. Then the key point is to show deep professional understanding and good quality, and novel and creative expression is very necessary.

Second, the composition and detailed description of the document

A. Resume

A resume is a list of job seekers' professional backgrounds. The resume should cover the applicant's experience, achievements and achievements. The language must be concise and clear, but the format and layout are completely determined according to different personal circumstances (such as putting your greatest advantage first)

. In addition, writing a resume should follow a principle: try to use sentences without a subject, that is, keep an objective meaning. As long as you make it clear, you don't need to spend time on typesetting, such as shading and margin color.

B. Letter of recommendation (reference letter/recommendation letter)

Letter of recommendation is the most objective of all the materials provided, and it is also the place that the applicant should pay the most attention to, because the jury will think that the referee's evaluation of the applicant can best reflect the applicant's own value. So when preparing the recommendation letter, we should pay attention to two points:

1. References must be selected reasonably.

Because referees should be typical people who have the most say in several aspects of the quality development of applicants. For example, many students will choose the most authoritative professor in their major to write letters of recommendation when applying for a master's degree, but for those applicants with average grades, they can't ask the so-called "cattle people" to help themselves. It is suggested that applicants can be more active. If they have the opportunity to participate in professional social activities such as seminars or conferences, it will be helpful to create opportunities to meet more professionals and talk to them about their majors and depth. Because undergraduate applicants don't have many opportunities to get in touch with professors and other celebrities, they can focus on class teachers and teachers in advantageous disciplines, which is more authentic.

On the other hand, the school requires 3-4 letters of recommendation, and you need to pay attention to different identities when choosing referees. This means don't always look for people who only comment on one aspect of you, such as teachers, professors and deans from your own school and major as your references. Such a letter of recommendation will make the jury hesitate, because they only know what the referee said to you on one side, and it is impossible to know anything else. So it's best to find people with different backgrounds to evaluate you from different aspects, which will enrich the recommendation letter and make it easier to understand your comprehensive situation.

2. The content of the recommendation letter should be as objective as possible.

It is impressive to use examples (such as activities, projects or unsuccessful cases) to prove the applicant's strengths or personality. If there is nothing to say, you can also talk about unsuccessful examples, because in the values of believers, the process of hard work is more important than whether there is a final result or not, which can better reflect the characteristics of candidates. But we must be careful not to talk empty words, such as being positive and working hard. Without any examples, readers will doubt your professional ability and quality.

C. Personal statement/purpose of statement

Personal statement is a platform for applicants to show their professionalism, and personal statement is a highly professional application document. The focus of the statement is professional experience, research experience and work experience, which can reflect the applicant's ability in the application direction. Here should also pay attention to two points:

1. Use some examples or topics to guide the full text.

For example, you can use time as a clue to write about your own learning process of a major, such as when you started to contact the major, when you became interested and decided to continue doing it, what kind of process you went through, to what extent you learned, and why you decided to go to the United States to continue studying. Or show your professional ability by focusing on the major you are interested in; Or give priority to with personal personality, indicating that personality reflects a person's innovative qualifications when studying majors, and so on.

2. The content of the article can only reflect one direction.

This is especially important for those who apply for master's and doctoral degrees. For example, there are many branches of computer science, such as programming and data mining. If you want to write, you can write only one aspect of data mining, not all. Otherwise, the jury will be confused, and don't know which aspect you are more proficient in and which major you should focus on.

Another thing to mention is that many people make mistakes and write personal statements as "confessions" to list their mistakes and lessons. This is very taboo. Thirdly, the excavation process. An effort is always attractive. For example, a gentleman has only done countless experiments in his own professional research, and finally the project funds have not come down for various reasons, but these countless experiments are very important. Don't always write about what courses you have taken, what you know and how you learned this major. Write a statement in this way of thinking, and the jury will only question your ability and qualifications.

D. Application essay

The application thesis is generally just a document prepared for business, economics, law, undergraduate and so on. This is a document that truly embodies personal qualities. What kind of application paper is the most attractive? The hottest way to write it is to talk about how you will choose a dilemma that may violate morality and ethics. For example, the concept of fair and unfair competition under the maximization of interests, reflecting personal income through narration, is the deepest embodiment of your value orientation, and the more wonderful you write, the better. If you are studying for an MBA, if you have run a company, you can only highlight the influence of personal values and personality on the company, because personal special experiences are very attractive.
