Personal Statement

(Applicant: ZHENG, Yongzhen)

As is known to us, USA is the most developed country in the world which has plenty of education resource and high education quality. At meantime, the free, open and flexible education system in the US differs from that in China. The reason why I choose US universities is that I feel the America education focus on self-development which perfectly meets my ambition. And the US education can help me to improve my creative ability and it provides us free academic studying atmosphere. So studying in America has always been my untiring pursue since I was young.

To make my dream come true, I choose to study Business Administration as my major at university. I choose USA because I think it has the most perfect commercial system and the best education of business. And I have a strong desire to start my own administration career which requires more foundation of knowledge and related ability. The first time I realized I had such talent of administration is when I took part in the school club activities, I could organize those unacquainted members to build a united, struggling, efficient team in a very short time. From then on, I initiated the enthusiasm in management and determined to learn more. Through such experience I gradually understand that the most crucial thing to organize a team is solidarity, without what the advantage of every member in the team cannot be exploited to the full. And we all admit that only if the supervisor is excellent enough can we maximize the predominance and obtain higher efficiency and profit as well. What’s more, I have developed effective communication skills and comprehension skills. To me, management is a sort of art. And I am also good at math and logics and I think I have the gift in dealing with business affairs.

In China, I was graduated from my high school-Yuhuan Experimental School in July 20xx. After graduation from this school, I didn’t go to college directly, as at that time I think I was still confused about my future, I don’t want to make my decision hastily

and travel on a road which I don’t like or may regret; thus, I joined in my father’s company to work as his secretary in order to broaden my experience and to make a wise decision and be responsible for myself. Through the past one year working experience, I feel clear about what I am good at and the outline of my future career and these further enhanced my decision to pursue a degree study in business area.

As we all know, China's market economy is soaring nowadays and it undoubtedly has a promising future. As a result, the demand for advanced financial and business talents will be greatly increased. I want to help my father’s business and become a professional supervisor when I complete study in US. So I think Business Administration will be very helpful in enterprise management, and this will be my first step for my own career. It’s what I dream and I will do my best. And I believe I could achieve a great success after acquiring the admission to your university.

All in all, I believe that the overseas study experience will be a challenge and a fortune. It will improve my independent ability. And I think there will be a more wide space for self-development after graduate from your university. And I sincerely hope that my application will be considered and accepted.

 

第二篇：美国本科申请总结

20xx-20xx美国本科生院申请总结 作者：邱林

20xx-20xx年度申请美国本科生院的学生出现了大幅度的增长， 但是学生的录取情况却好于往年，这可能是美国各高校财政困难的结果吧。下面是我们对20xx-20xx年度美国本科学校录取的新特点做一总结。

? 录取标准： 几乎每所美国前百名学校都有上一年录取学生的中间80%学生的平均GPA，

TOEFL 和SAT 成绩；而这些数字又往往成为我们是否申请该校的依据。但是20xx-20xx年大部分学校却未遵循这一规律。如加州伯克利20xx年中间80%的SAT是20xx分以上，但我们今年却有低于20xx分的学生被该校录取。

? 申请时间： 申请名校建议提早申请。虽然有学生会问：“我又不申请提前录取（11月1

日至1月x日），为什么还要提早申请呢？”实际情况是如果美国高校当年的申请人过多学校就会提前结束申请受理。 比如， 今年威斯康星大学（我的母校）规定的截止时间是二月x日，但是20xx年圣诞节后的申请学校就不考虑了。

? 公立VS私立：一般来讲，公立大学申请难度要高于私立大学，而排名大致相同的学校

录取的SAT成绩有时可相差200分，比如排名大致相同的宾夕法尼亚州立大学和凯泽西储大学。

? 南方VS北方： 一般来讲南方大学比北方大学跟容易录取。 如北方印第安纳州的普渡

大学GPA要求是3.0以上，而排名相同的南方大学德州农工大学GPA要求是2.5.

? 国内高中VS国外高中： 相同成绩国外读高中的中国学生更容易录取到美国名校。如

SAT1800分的国内高中学生就很难录取到美国30名左右的大学，但是拥有这一成绩在美国的中国高中生就很容易录取到纽约大学，布朗大学或者是加州大学洛杉矶分校。

? 本州VS外州： 美国大学录取照顾本州学生，包括在本州读高中的外国学生。比如，

我们一名在加州高中的学生（原育明高中）SAT只有1700多分，但他却被加州大学洛杉矶分校录取。另外一名新泽西高中的学生（原育明高中）SAT2100多分却未被录取。但这名学生最终录取的学校是哈佛大学和普林斯顿大学。

? 论文包装：美国名校申请成功的关键在于申请人是否能够向录取委员会展示出自己与其

他申请人不同的特点，而在这方面我们有自己独到的优势和经验。在20xx-20xx年申请中我们写了许多有关于Imaginary Identity（模糊身份讨论，如在美华人地位）, Therapeutic Memory （记忆的理疗作用，如士兵突击中许三多的故事）这样的文章。这就保证了我们的文章不仅不同于美国申请人的文章也不同于中国申请人的文章。

? 学校排名：如果你关心我们能为学生申请到什么样排名的学校，请参照附表。

Good Luck to you!
