2023-2024年康奈爾大學更新補充論文題目

對於(yu) 所有G12學生，最關(guan) 鍵的環節是如何將自己的學術興(xing) 趣和潛力、價(jia) 值觀、和成長經曆最大限度呈現的申請表，在 2023-2024 年申請季中，康奈爾大學添加新的補充論文題目，並要求所有申請者提交。

所有申請者必須完成: 

In the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, Ezra Cornell wrote, “I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” For over 150 years, Cornell University has remained deeply committed to Ezra’s vision. Explain how your life experiences will help inform your contributions to a learning community devoted to “… any person … any study.” We encourage you to think broadly about your life experiences, including how local (e.g., family, school, neighborhood) or global communities you’ve been part of have helped shape your perspective. (不超過350字)

新文書(shu) 題目中使用的‘any person……any study’’的措辭讓一些學生感到困惑。這是康奈爾大學關(guan) 於(yu) 學生身份背景和價(jia) 值觀的文書(shu) ，其它大學有類似文書(shu) 題目。希望學生將重點放在'任何人'這一部分’。”

此外，學生還必須根據他們(men) 申請的學院和院係的要求，再撰寫(xie) 一篇補充論文。該文書(shu) 需要突出你的學術興(xing) 趣和'any study”'部分。

康奈爾大學的每個(ge) 學院都有自己的入學要求和獨特的專(zhuan) 業(ye) 設置，而他們(men) 的補充論文題目也反映了這些差異。例如，申請SC Johnson商學院的學生會(hui) 被問到: “What kind of a business student are you?” 同樣，文理學院是各分院中規模最大、範圍最廣的一個(ge) ，它要求申請者說明自己的熱情和興(xing) 趣如何與(yu) 該學院提供的機會(hui) 相吻合。

請記住，你隻能申請康奈爾大學的一個(ge) 學院或院係，隨著提早申請截止日期的臨(lin) 近，如果你還沒有準備好如何回答，現在是時候開始集思廣益了！

“在申請康奈爾大學時，關(guan) 鍵點是你直接向你所選擇的院係遞交申請：每個(ge) 學院都有自己的招生辦公室和負責為(wei) 該學院挑選學生的官員，康奈爾大學的座右銘是‘Enroll in One, Study in All’，這反映了在獲得大學全部資源的同時確定你的院係和專(zhuan) 業(ye) 的重要性。

康奈爾大學所有院係的申請者都應該準備好在一篇有條理、清晰和個(ge) 人化的論文中解釋自己選擇該院係背後的理由。要求所有申請者提交的補充論文字數不超過350字，而針對具體(ti) 學院的論文字數在 200 到 650 字之間。
