At the same time, it was admitted to many famous American schools such as Cornell, Columbia and St. Louis, Washington.
Time is squeezed out.
The biggest problem for high school students to study abroad is to give consideration to heavy schoolwork and application for studying abroad. Even if you have clearly chosen to study abroad, the results of three years of high school and even the college entrance examination can not be ignored, because they often become the admission factors of many famous schools.
As one of them, Huang Shan has also experienced it? Little red book? The days of fighting together. When most students are immersed in the vast sea of books such as history, geography and politics, on the one hand, they have to keep their grades in these subjects, on the other hand, they have to get up at three o'clock every day to recite the little red book, even on the bus, their ears are noisy, and they have to hold the unfinished page of the little red book in their hands.
And because of her competitive spirit, Huang Shan especially hoped to win in various competitions at that time. It should be said that this is indeed the first difficulty on her way to study abroad. This is also a challenge that all students who take into account the college entrance examination and study abroad have to face. So, how can we better overcome this difficulty? Huang Shan has a set of theories: years of study experience tells her that the efficiency of attending classes is the highest, and it is difficult to make up for it after going home. In addition, there are skills and experience to follow when doing homework. The tactics of blindly asking the sea may not leave much value, so you can choose the most important and essential homework to do.
I am an ordinary high school student. I don't have outstanding literary talent, and I don't have the momentum to sweep the academic competition in my second year of high school. I can only choose between allocating energy. The gist of my summary is: recite words and concentrate on doing problems. In this way, time is effectively used separately, and it is more effective to concentrate on everything. ?
As? People who have been there? What Huang Shan wants to share with her classmates most is that although it is really painful to face the college entrance examination and study abroad at the same time, as long as she survives, she will certainly achieve something, and she feels that the efforts and struggles during this period are worthwhile.
Small topics and big ideas
Huang Shan was very interested in computers since she was a child. She joined the computer group of Beijing Broadcasting Corporation, programmed automation, worked as a website, and was in charge of computers in the class.
Carnegie Mellon University is a leader in the field of computer science, especially after seeing Randy? Professor Bosch's? Last lesson? After that, Huang Shan yearned for this school more. Later, after looking up the information on the Internet, she set this school as her goal.
Huang Shan also used a vivid example to express her love for computers, and well combined her own highlights reflected in this part with Carnegie Mellon's admission criteria, and fully demonstrated in the document: at the end of her freshman year in high school, a company made a self-balancing bicycle robot with two wheels, which could perfectly do various balancing actions. So Huang Shan had a whim: If I can make a robot with wheels, wouldn't it be more advanced? To her excitement, after online investigation, no one had made a unicycle robot at that time. She and her classmates are determined to make the world's first unicycle robot. Of course, all the expectations were grand at the beginning. Robots don't just appear. Before they begin, they must do a lot of preparatory work. First of all, we should design a model to understand its material structure and principle. For Huang Shan, who has just entered the second year of senior high school and has limited physical knowledge, she can only learn some mathematics and automatic control theory by herself, but also learn software by herself, design its model and simulate the physical process. Admirably, all this was done by Chinese fir between the rainstorm of SAT and TOEFL. In addition, they have to travel in major electronic markets in Beijing.
In such a complicated preparation process, Huang Shan often dreams that she is holding a voltmeter to measure the voltage at both ends of Xiaohongshu at night. Tragically, while Huang Shan and others were busy making unicycle robots, the company made a unicycle robot named Sister Murakami. At that time, everyone felt a little silly and even missed the Beijing Science and Technology Innovation Competition.
When people around her were questioning whether it was necessary to carry on this invention, Huang Shan insisted on completing the project. ? Now that you have done it, you must stick to it. I really enjoy the enrichment and happiness brought by fighting for what I love. ?
One summer afternoon, in the laboratory with broken air conditioning, when the program was downloaded to the computer for the last time and the power was turned on, the car stood precariously on the ground. At that moment, they were sweating and crying. Happiness and joy made Huang Shan completely forget the exhaustion of the whole body.
Although this unicycle robot project has not won any awards, nor has it become the first unicycle robot in the world, Huang Shan's firm, persistent, optimistic and positive attitude has made her gain a lot, and I believe it will be highly valued by many famous American schools.
Files are a stage to show yourself.
To a great extent, Huang Shan's success lies in her understanding of herself, which perfectly combines and embodies her own highlights and admission criteria in the documents. This also tells the vast number of prospective international students that documents play a vital role in the application for studying abroad. After all the scores are squeezed into the prestigious school, the applicant's materials will be strictly examined by the admission Committee. Among them, what teachers value most is the applicant's application documents. Application documents generally include letters of recommendation, essays and resumes. Letter of recommendation is a way for the admission committee to deeply understand the applicant's personality. It is necessary to objectively reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the applicant in connection with the actual situation and avoid empty praise. Secondly, although argumentative writing is usually a propositional composition, it has a wide range of topics. Through these articles, you can reflect your personal background, experience, expertise and so on. , and reflect the applicant's inner thinking, feeling and growth. In addition, rich extracurricular activities and experiences will also be of great help to your application. This requires applicants to pay more attention to thinking and accumulation, and try to be unconventional.
It's still the saying of Chinese fir, even if you have great potential and wisdom, you can't harvest without fertilization.
