Common Application是什么?
通用申请(英语:Common Application),简称Common App, 一个用于申请美国517所高等院校(包括47个州和华盛顿特区)、奥地利、法国、德国、意大利、瑞士、英国等海外国家以及中国大陆部分中外合作高校的应用网站。

通用申请网站由非盈利机构通用申请公司(The Common Application, Inc.)的员工运作,并由13位来自大学招生办公室和高中升学顾问处的志愿者协助运营。通用申请创立的宗旨在于使得申请者在申请大学的过程中除了客观的分数和学校排名因素以外,能够有更多主观因素被纳入考量,例如文书(essay)和推荐信(recommendation), 从而让申请过程更加全面化。

  Common Application,简称Common App,是一个本科(包含本科转学)录取申请系统。学生可以通过该系统申请来自包括美国48个州,华盛顿特区,加拿大、欧洲、中国等国家和地区的693所高等院校。

  Common App官方表示,此次调整依据的是其对Common App的成员高校、咨询团队、学生、升学顾问和在校老师等群体的调查结果,其中学生意见占比最大(59%)。

  值得注意的是,文章的字数上限依然是650字保持不变。

  2017-2018年Common Application(通用申请)系统文书题目

  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. [No change](对有的人来说,背景、身份、心情或才能是如此重要。如果没有这些,这个人的申请就不能算是完整。如果你也有同感,请和我们分享你的故事。)
 

  译文:一些学生有一些具有特殊意义的背景、身份、兴趣或天赋,如果在申请材料中不提及这些,那么这份申请材料将会不够完整。如果你是这样的,那么请分享你的故事。(题目不变)

  这一题是Common APP的一道“老题”了,因为经典,所以长盛不衰。可见出题者和申请者都认为此题能反映出招生官最想看到的内容。

  2.The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience? [Revised]

  译文:从挫折中得到的经验教训能帮助我们获得成功。回忆你面对挑战、挫折或者失败的一次经历。它是如何影响你的,以及你从中学到了什么?(微调)

  2016-2017题目:The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

  2016-2017年的题目把选题范围框定在了Failure(失败)上,今年此题将范围扩大到了Obstacle(困难)、Challenge(挑战)和Setback(挫折),给了申请者更多的发挥空间。

  3.Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome? [Revised]

  中文:回顾一次你质疑或挑战某种观念的经历。是什么触发了你的思考呢?结果如何?(微调)

  2016-2017题目:Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

  同样是“挑战他人”,去年的题目重点在“动机”,今年则侧重“思考和结果”。

  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. [No change]

  译文:描述一个你解决过或者想解决的问题。可以是学术挑战,研究调查,道德困境——任何你认为对你个人而言很重要的问题,不论大小。说明它对你的意义和你解决问题的方法。(题目不变)

  5.Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others. [Revised]

  译文:讲述让你成长或者让你重新认识自己的的一个成就、事件、或者感悟。(微调)

  2016-2017题目:Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.

  6.Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more? [New]

  译文:描述一个让你流连其中,甚至忘记时间的话题、想法、理念。为什么它吸引你?你想多学习时,会寻求什么/谁的帮助?(新增题)

  此题可谓煞费苦心。诸多美国名校招生官都曾表示在招生中最看重的是学生的专注力

  7.Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design. [New]

  译文:题目自拟,可以是之前写好的文章,或者任何你自创的选题。(新增题)
