2016-2017年美国本科申请文书题目汇总

2016-2017年新一轮的申请季已经到来啦！小伙伴们都已经准备好了吗？这里我们为大家汇总了美国常用的两个申请系统——Common Application申请系统和UC加州大学申请系统新的文书写作题目。

（一）Common Application申请系统

Common App今年写作题目相比去年没有变化。官方数据显示，在2015-2016年度，有超过80万申请者通过Common App提交了申请，其中47%的申请者选择写他们的背景、身份、兴趣或才能；22%选择写让其成长成熟的成就；17的申请者写的是一次失败经历；10%选择写解决的某个问题；只有4%选择写挑战观念。

2016-2017年Common App申请系统文书题目（5选1）

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

一些学生有非常有意义的背景、身份、兴趣或才能，如果不予讲述，申请就会不完整。如果你有一个这样的故事，请分享。

失败是成功之母。叙述一件你失败过的事情或是一段失败沮丧的时期。它对你有何影响，你从中学到了什么？

3. Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

你有挑战过的固有的信仰或观念吗？是什么促使你产生这样的行为？如果事情再发生一次，你现在还会做出同样的选择吗？

4. Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma--anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.
