美国大学本科申请系统Common App,Coalition App,Universal College Application都有什么区别, 应该选哪个?

8月1日申请美国本科的通用申请系统(Common Application,简称Common App)正式开放2024-2024年申请通道,新一年的申请季就此开始。

那么,申请美国大学除了Common App,还有哪些系统?这些系统有什么区别?各位同学到底应该用哪个呢?小编下面就带大家详细了解下不同的美国本科网申系统和它们的区别。

Common Application

Common App,也就是大家常提到的CA系统,已经有超过40年的历史,也是目前美国本科申请使用最广的申请系统。

根据其官网介绍,目前Common App的合作院校有近900所,除美国外,还有其他近20个国家和地区的高校也通过这个系统进行招生。

除了高中成绩、标准化考试成绩、语言水平证明等这些基本申请材料,CA系统每年会放出7个小论文题目(essay prompts)作为申请的补充材料。申请者可以从这些题目中选择一个来写,字数不超过650词。

Common App2024-2024小论文题目

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

2. The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

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

4. Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma — anything of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.

5. Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

6. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging 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?

7. 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.

并不是所有学校都会要求申请提交Common App中的小论文。也有一些学校自己设置了独立的论文题目或额外的申请信息,比如哈佛大学就在申请系统原有设置的信息基础上增加了Harvard Questions。

每所学校的申请材料清单都可以在Common App上看到。
