提示：美国留学申请的过程是一个不断否定本人,不断超越本人,很终肯定本人的过程.这一个过程很漫长,它经历了长达一年甚至更久的时间,有每天图书馆背GRE单词的寂寞背影,有一战,二战的烦躁情绪,有收到dream school拒绝的懊恼心情,许多许多的苦涩汇聚了一条并不宽广的路.可是更多的,是怀揣了美国梦的希冀的喜悦与期待,对未来幻想的美好憧憬,收到心仪Offer那一刻的尘埃落定.既然选择了前方,就要风雨兼程,哪怕前方泥路崎岖,困难重重。

这是一个真实的故事，文中不便提供主人公的姓名，以第三人称“她”来陈述。麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学、7所常青藤盟校、14所名校正在争夺入学资格。让我们看看她是如何创造奇迹的。

她申请了14所美国大学，收到了14份录取通知书。这14所大学分别来自哈佛大学、普林斯顿大学、布朗大学、哥伦比亚大学、斯坦福大学、芝加哥大学、宾夕法尼亚大学、麻省理工学院、西北大学、莱斯大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、华盛顿大学、佛罗里达大学和迈阿密大学。

这些大学其中任意一所发来录取全是值得开心的事，何况是14所全部给了yes。她SAT分数233，GPA4.5，排名Top1%，体育方面有游泳、跳水、水球运动；课外活动经历丰富，除此之外，这篇写童年经历的文书功不可没。

她告诉Business Insider，很初她不想写这么私人的东西，她原本写的essay是关于之前参与过的暑期项目的海报展经历，讲述的是本人怎样变得不那么内向害羞。可是以后她觉得这篇文书并没有展示本人的真诚，因为在她看来，她原本写的这篇文书是迎合招生官的喜好得。

幸运的是，她改变了这个故事。

Ulti*tely, she wrote about her more personal experience, and it certainly paid off. In addition to Harvard, she gained acceptances to Brown University, UChicago, Columbia, The University of Florida, Johns Hopkins, the University of Miami, MIT, Northwestern, UPenn, Princeton, Rice University, Stanford, and WashU.

看看这篇优秀的文章:

Four boys stood above me on a pile of garbage. Their words, "Bota, bota, *tava" — "chubby", "fatty" suffocated me:

A familiar sensation of frustration and hurt gripped me. Looking for defense I only saw a cinderblock at my feet, impossible for my eight year old body to heave, so, I screamed in English:

"You are just jealous that you are poor and I am American!"

As the words flew out of my mouth, I knew I was wrong — there was no sense of triumphant satisfaction. I abruptly turned and ran into the refuge of my aunts home.

Upon finishing a tearful narrative to my aunt and father, I preferred the comfort of the formers arms. I avoided my fathers disappointment: I knew as well as he did, that I was not the victim.

Later, my hysteria subdued and guilt temporarily forgotten, I ventured outside to explore the crevices of Antananarivo. The boys were still playing atop the rubbish, then seeing me, scrambled off their mountain and ran in the opposite direction.

Its okay, I thought, I wouldnt be a fan of me either.

As I began walking up the street, I heard shouts:

"Wait, wait!

The boys caught up to me and proudly waved hundred ariary bills in my face. In their broken English, they said in earnest and without *lice,

"Look! We are not poor! We have money! We are Amreekan too!"

I agreed they were right and *iled sadly: one US dollar was the equivalent to seven thousand Malagasy ariary.

I was *de sharply aware of what separated me from these children: oceans, experience, money. Politics, ignorance, the apathy of millions. Ironically, it was also the first time I belonged to my "motherland". I could share in the * joy of relishing what "is", be proud of the sense of resourcefulness engendered by scarcity.

This memory has woven itself into my philosophy and my dreams. The very personal knowledge that millions live in a way such that electric toothbrushes are an unfatho*ble luxury my cousin, Aina, has given me the following personal rules:

Education is an opportunity, not a burden;

You always have enough to share.

While I *y not be certain of my future, I know for certain that I want to serve. I realize that service is as important an aspect of education as is academic work. I know this passion will follow me throughout my life and *nifest itself in my actions at Harvard. This memory is a *ndate to serve indiscriminately and without prejudice towards those I work with. I am all the more willing to cooperate to bring improvement to the community within the College and beyond the campus. I can bring innovation in problem solving born out of the deep desire to help others. I work for these boys, for all the proud Malagasy and even those who are not proud to be Malagasy, and the children who cherish "what is" instead of mourning "what could be".

此时，大家终于找到了原因:好的文书工作可以创造奇迹般的应用程序。
