到英国留学怎么写essay?
Essays的重要性
MBA是个象征权力和金钱的学位,然而,对于出国留学热潮中的中国学生而言,如何准备GMAT考试和申请材料又是一件颇费时间和精力的事情。大部分人花了几个月甚至一年的时间从参加辅导班到最终才拿到一个GMAT高分,实在不易。但是近年来,美国的有关机构已发觉到了这一点。他们充分肯定中国考生的"考试能力",而不幸的是,从此GMAT成绩在考生的入学申请材料中的重要性每况愈下。
国外的商学院入学,特别是美国的MBA和国内有着很大的区别。国内MBA入学的要求通常是五门考试成绩、2至3封推荐信和面试;而美国商学院则不仅要求申请者提供GMAT成绩、推荐信、还要提供大学成绩(GPA),最为重要的是申请者如何认识自己和看待自己的个人陈述(essays)。
以哈佛商学院为例,这几年来每年的申请者都在8000人以上,其中有40%左右的申请者GMAT分数在710以上(哈佛平均分为690)。为何每年只录取8千人其中的不过13%呢?仅仅一个GMAT高分,商学院根本不可能真正地了解你。那么如何才能使商学院真正全面地认识你,最终录取你呢?那就是写出一篇出色的essay,在商学院的评审委员会面前展示出一个真实、生动、与众不同的你。
因此,Essays的重要性就逐渐突显出来,目前已经成为申请材料的重中之重。
