申请英国院校的同学们都知道,个人陈述在申请中往往起着至关重要的作用!在没有面试的情况下,PS是大学招生官了解你其他能力和个性的唯一渠道。而综合排名越高的学校也会更看重申请者的个人陈述。比如,下图就是爱丁堡大学在和我们沟通招生标准时发给我们的数据。目前,爱大在审理研究生申请时,学生的学术表现在申请中占比60%,非学术表现占比40%,而非学术表现主要就是通过个人陈述来体现!关于个人陈述具体该怎么写,需要包含哪些内容,很多学校也已经给出了建议,比如,LSE就在官网上给出了关于个人陈述的推荐结构。首先,在内容分配方面,LSE建议80%的内容应该集中在和所申请课程相关的经历上,20%的内容可以放在课外经历上。
在结构方面,如下图所示,LSE建议学生可以将PS结构分为三个方面:
除了LSE以外,最近,KCL还发布了申请Business Management专业本科的个人陈述范文。
开头部分主要写了申请者申请该专业的动机,并直接列举了申请者为了更好地了解商业,曾经做过的三个实习。范文原文如下:
I have always been fascinated by business and the impact it has on the world we live in. To gain a better understanding of business, I organised work experience with three different businesses:[example one], [example two] and [example three]. At the [example one], I was given an opportunity to analyse a variety of business ideas and judge whether they were worth investing in.
第二部分是主体段落,主要写了申请者在以往的课程中有什么具体的心得体会,读了哪些与所申请专业相关的书,从这些书中学到了什么。由于篇幅原因,在这里就只放一部分原文供大家参考:
My favourite subject at school is Economics. I enjoy microeconomics and the insights this provides as to how businesses are run. For example, I now understand the difference between fixed and variable costs and how this impacts on business decisions. The course introduced me to many basic business terms, opening my eyes to a whole new language that I look forward to learning more about. Two of my favourite business books are Alan Sugar's autobiography and Naomi Klein's No is Not Enough.Sugar's book provides a fascinating insight into the life of an entrepreneur and I particularly enjoyed his advice on how to set up and successfully manage businesses. Klein's book focuses on the link between politics and business seen through the life of Donald Trump and I was particularly taken by her argument that he is using his presidency to enhance his brand image.......
在最后一段中,申请者简单提了自己的课外活动,兴趣爱好。同时,向招生官展示这些兴趣爱好对自己起到了哪些帮助作用,比如在这篇范文中,作者就提到了这些兴趣爱好让自己能更好地进行团队协作。范文原文如下:
Since the age of eleven I have played sport to a high level representing my county at both tennis and cricket. Therefore, I know what it takes to achieve and sustain high levels of success. Cricket has taught me how to work in a team, which is important for group projects at University and for business. I completed a Sports Leadership and a Speaking with Confidence course, both of which enhanced my natural ability to work well in teams. I volunteered to speak at our school's Open Day and felt that I was fluent and articulate.
以上就是KCL官网发布的Business Management专业个人陈述范文。总结来看,这篇个人陈述范文成功做到了以下三点:
这三点也是写PS的过程中最需要的三点。同时,KCL还发布了其他专业的个人陈述撰写范文。由于篇幅限制就不在这里一一展现了,有兴趣的同学可以
