美国研究生留学申请Essay写作指导

　　Essay是必写的吗?回答是Essay不是必须的，有些专业的要求是一篇ps即可(Essay和ps都是文书的一部分。要求ps的学校基本上不会再要求Essay了，反之，要求Essay的学校也基本上不会再要求学生写ps了)。但是，像金融，会计，MBA, 市场营销这样的专业要求申请者写Essay的学校还是非常多的。

　　【什么是Essay ?】

　　简单的说，Essay就是根据学校的题目要求，完成一篇命题作文。

　　比如，JHU的金融专业要求学生写一篇Essay。

　　Business leaders have the ability to create opportunities, build products and systems, and inspire others to action. Please describe a time you created an opportunity, built a new product or system, or inspired others to act. The example you provide and elaborate upon may come from your professional endeavors, academic pursuits or civic engagements. (500 word maximum)

　　再比如，波士顿学院的会计专业要求学生写两篇Essay。

　　Essay 1: Please discuss how you plan to achieve your short and long term career goals. What challenges will you face and how will you leverage your academic and professional experiences to achieve these goals? (500 words, 12 point font, double-spaced)。

　　Essay 2: Please indicate your reasons for applying to the Carroll School of Management. What unique characteristics of the Boston College MBA, MSA or MSF program resonate with you both personally and professionally? (500 words, 12 point font, double-spaced)

　　另外，哥大的MBA要求三个Essay。

　　Essay 1: Through your resume and recommendations, we have a clear sense of your professional path to date. What are your career goals going forward, and how will the Columbia MBA help you achieve them? (Maximum 500 words)

　　Essay 2: Columbia Business School’s location enables us to bridge theory and practice in multiple ways: through Master Classes, internships, the New York Immersion Seminars, and, most importantly, through a combination of distinguished research faculty and accomplished practitioners. How will you take advantage of being “at the very center of business”? (Maximum 250 words)

　　Essay 3: CBS Matter, a key element of the School’s culture, allows the people in your Cluster to learn more about you on a personal level. What will your Clustermates be pleasantly surprised to learn about you? (Maximum 250 words)参考：51due.com/online-tutoring/writing-skills/sample58192.html

　　学校要求的Essay这么多，好难写啊，为什么要写这么多Essay呢，不能一篇ps搞定吗?学校要求Essay的目的其实很清楚，他们想要了解你更多，借此判断你是否适合他们项目。比如通过你分享的领导力活动，他们可以判断你是不是他们看中的未来领导者，与他们培养的领导者是不是一致的。因为有些学校亲睐的是创新型领导者，有些是亲睐成熟的领导者，更有些亲睐的是目前领导经历不多，但可塑性很强的未来领导者。明白了学校要求写Essay的目的，相信大家在写作的时候会更加得心应手。
