6月下旬，美本圈一周內(nèi)連吃兩顆"文書炸彈"！

▶ UNC北卡羅來(lái)納大學(xué)教堂山分校官宣：2026–2027申請(qǐng)季起，取消2027Fall申請(qǐng)季的所有補(bǔ)充文書。

▶Cornell康奈爾大學(xué)宣布：2027Fall起，取消沿用了多年的全校通用community文書，只保留各學(xué)院專屬文書 。

兩校到底砍了什么、留了什么？

跟隨小林一探究竟吧~

UNC北卡補(bǔ)充文書直接“歸零”

原來(lái)除了CA主文書外，還需從四道題目中任選兩道撰寫短答，內(nèi)容涉及身份認(rèn)同、社區(qū)貢獻(xiàn)與個(gè)人理想。但從2027年秋季入學(xué)申請(qǐng)起，這一部分將全部取消。

UNC招生辦公室對(duì)此舉的解釋為“簡(jiǎn)化申請(qǐng)流程、降低準(zhǔn)備壓力”。但深層邏輯清晰：對(duì)資源有限的申請(qǐng)者，反復(fù)打磨多篇補(bǔ)充文書是真實(shí)門檻。缺乏升學(xué)指導(dǎo)、學(xué)業(yè)負(fù)擔(dān)重時(shí)，多一篇文書就多一分挑戰(zhàn)。

取消強(qiáng)制補(bǔ)充文書，能吸納更多元背景的申請(qǐng)者，將評(píng)估重心回歸GPA、課程難度、活動(dòng)與主文書等硬性指標(biāo)。

2026-2027年通用申請(qǐng)題目

🔽問題一🔽Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

🔽 譯文（僅供參考）🔽

有些學(xué)生的背景、身份、興趣或天賦極具意義，他們覺得若不在申請(qǐng)中提及，申請(qǐng)就會(huì)不夠完整。如果你覺得自己是這樣的人，請(qǐng)分享你的故事。

🔽 譯文（僅供參考）🔽

我們從遭遇的障礙中汲取的教訓(xùn)，可能是日后成功的根基。請(qǐng)回憶一次你面對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)、挫折或失敗的經(jīng)歷。它對(duì)你產(chǎn)生了怎樣的影響？你從這次經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到了什么？

🔽 問題三 🔽Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?

🔽 譯文（僅供參考）🔽

🔽 譯文（僅供參考）🔽

請(qǐng)討論一項(xiàng)成就、一件事或一個(gè)感悟，它引發(fā)了一段個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)期，并讓你對(duì)自己或他人有了新的認(rèn)知。

🔽 問題六 🔽Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?

🔽 譯文（僅供參考）🔽

請(qǐng)描述一個(gè)你覺得極其引人入勝的話題、想法或概念，它會(huì)讓你完全沉浸其中、忘記時(shí)間。它為何能吸引你？當(dāng)你想要深入了解時(shí)，你會(huì)求助于什么或誰(shuí)？

🔽 問題七 🔽Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you’ve already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.

🔽 譯文（僅供參考）🔽

請(qǐng)就任意主題寫一篇文章。可以是你已寫過的文章，也可以是回應(yīng)其他題目的文章，或是你自己構(gòu)思的主題。

康奈爾取消通用，留學(xué)院文書

康奈爾本科招生辦在官網(wǎng)更新了2026-2027申請(qǐng)季的文書要求，最關(guān)鍵的一句話：There will be no university essay question for Fall 2027 applicants.

很多人一看"取消"兩個(gè)字就炸了——但先別急，取消的不是 CA主文書，也不是學(xué)院文書，而是那篇沿用了多年的全校通用補(bǔ)充文書。

康奈爾大學(xué)突然取消通用文書，背后有幾個(gè)邏輯。其一，社區(qū)題內(nèi)容雷同，難辨優(yōu)劣；再者，申請(qǐng)激增，主文書已夠用，不必重復(fù)審閱。

此外，模板化易被AI生成，學(xué)院題則需具體匹配教授與課程，限制機(jī)器發(fā)揮。

目標(biāo)UNC和康奈爾的同學(xué)

文書策略該提上日程了！

申UNC的同學(xué)

把原本花在2道短答題上的時(shí)間，挪去打磨主文書的故事精度和活動(dòng)列表的數(shù)字化表達(dá)（每行150字符以內(nèi)，必須有數(shù)字、有結(jié)果、有影響）。

申康奈爾的同學(xué)

學(xué)院鎖定前置，動(dòng)筆前必須定死目標(biāo)學(xué)院，切忌“寫著寫著換學(xué)院”——各學(xué)院題目差異極大，套模板一眼就能識(shí)破。

撰寫學(xué)院文書時(shí)要落到實(shí)處，在闡述“為什么選擇這個(gè)學(xué)院”時(shí)，必須具體到課程、教授、實(shí)驗(yàn)室或項(xiàng)目，絕不能停留在“I love Cornell’s beautiful campus”這類空洞的通用表白。
