中國(guó)人如今經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展良好，有錢(qián)了，生活水平提高了，于是許多人出國(guó)旅游或是留學(xué)。出國(guó)，那么就要申請(qǐng)，在申請(qǐng)的過(guò)程中就會(huì)出現(xiàn)許多的問(wèn)題。出國(guó)留學(xué)，一份標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的留學(xué)申請(qǐng)書(shū)應(yīng)該包含哪些材料呢?這些材料應(yīng)該怎么寫(xiě)誰(shuí)來(lái)寫(xiě)呢?今天YJBYS小編就為大家詳述出國(guó)留學(xué)申請(qǐng)文書(shū)的種類(lèi)以及如何準(zhǔn)備。
簡(jiǎn)歷 (Curriculum Vitae orRésumé)
Curriculum Vitae or Résumé 都可以翻譯成簡(jiǎn)歷，但實(shí)際上，Résumé具有更加自由和多樣化的組織格式，通常用于找工作。然而，Curriculum Vitae對(duì)于格式的要求則相對(duì)嚴(yán)格，通常用于在學(xué)校或教育機(jī)構(gòu)尋找機(jī)會(huì)。
另外不同的是，Résumé傾向于為某種特定的目的或目標(biāo)讀者而量身定制，通常以陳述個(gè)人目標(biāo)開(kāi)始，然后按照重要性羅列出自己以往的成就。而Curriculum Vitae則是按照時(shí)間順序，以濃縮的數(shù)據(jù)形式，呈現(xiàn)出一個(gè)完整的自己。
申請(qǐng)材料清單 (Cover Letter orApplication Checklist)
申請(qǐng)材料清單的內(nèi)容包括申請(qǐng)人的姓名、聯(lián)系方式、申請(qǐng)的院系及專(zhuān)業(yè)，最重要的是要逐一羅列您申請(qǐng)包中的所有材料。這樣可以使拿到您材料的每一個(gè)人井然有序的查找您所有的文件，避免傳遞過(guò)程中的遺漏。同樣，如果遇到材料不全或郵寄過(guò)程中的丟失，一張清晰明確的申請(qǐng)材料清單，也可以使得更方便快捷地聯(lián)系到您。
個(gè)人陳述(Personal Statement)
通常我們叫做PS，即Personal Statement 或 Statement ofPurpose. PS的主要內(nèi)容包括你為什么要選擇這個(gè)學(xué)校和專(zhuān)業(yè);你的優(yōu)勢(shì)和業(yè)績(jī)，尤其是在大學(xué)期間或工作背景中與申請(qǐng)專(zhuān)業(yè)領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的部分;你的英語(yǔ)水平及特長(zhǎng);整個(gè)的學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程會(huì)對(duì)你在未來(lái)的發(fā)展中有何幫助以及你對(duì)未來(lái)的發(fā)展計(jì)劃與目標(biāo)。
PS是西方國(guó)家學(xué)校、工作申請(qǐng)中非常重要的參考材料之一，也是申請(qǐng)人全面展現(xiàn)自己的關(guān)鍵機(jī)會(huì)。同時(shí)，PS也是對(duì)所有申請(qǐng)材料的綜合和總結(jié)，它就像是一條貫穿始終的主線(xiàn)。一封好的PS可以幫助你在眾多的申請(qǐng)材料中脫穎而出，申請(qǐng)順利成功。

留學(xué)申請(qǐng)范文-Cornell University
Cornell UniversityFinancial Engineering
Upon arriving at college, I was intent on discovering what I would truly love to do for the rest of my life. I was eager to explore the richness of the world and my own passion. Since then, I have found the answer in quantitative finance and now look forward to learning in greater depth about my chosen field.
At the time of my graduation from high school in China, I dreamed of becoming a great inventor, like Thomas Edison or Orville or Wilbur Wright. During the first two years of college, I explored, first, the field of mechanical engineering and, then, ECE (electrical and computer engineering).However, neither area seemed to offer me sufficient opportunities to exercise critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Then, one day, toward the end of my sophomore year, I talked with a friend who excitedly told me about a project using a quantitative approach that she and her classmates were completing for an optimization modeling class. I was thrilled and immediately decided to transfer to OR (Operations Research).
The following summer, I served an internship in a mutual fund company based in Shanghai. Working in the firm’s newly established Strategy Department, I enjoyed opportunities to familiarize myself with many varied aspects of the business. Furthermore, aware that I was studying Operations Research, my boss invited me to launch a quantitative investment strategy project. Although, at that time, I knew relatively little about OR, I excitedly accepted the challenge. Throughout the summer, after working all day, I would spend the evening reading research papers. The beauty and potential of quantitative analysis fascinated me, and further reinforced my decision to study OR.
During my junior year, I began participating in the Cornell Alpha Fund, a student-run investment fund. I soon became a partner, co-managing the fund along with five other partners. In the educational sessions we organize to provide ourselves as well as our members with a learning environment, we require every presentation to include both qualitative and quantitative analysis, with an emphasis on applying our knowledge to practical real-world situations. What we derive from these meetings then enriches our classroom learning. Perhaps ironically, my involvement in club operations and in investment decisions, while broadening my knowledge, has also made me aware of my and other members’ limitations, especially on the quantitative side. As a result of our lack of expertise in that area, we were able to execute very few options trades and no futures trades at all. My decision to pursue further study in graduate school stems in part from my desire to more fully understand the field of derivatives and the quantitative side of the financial markets.
My academic experiences at Cornell have prepared me well for graduate study. For example, I was involved in several relevant research projects. In my junior year, I assisted Professor Rick Geddes in creating a rule-of-law index for various countries. In my senior year, I continued to work with Professor Geddes on a PPP (public private partnership) highway construction project. In addition, as a senior, I assisted Professor PeterFrazier in the development of a simulation with a graphical user interface (GUI), a project based on a research problem in scheduling follow-up checkups for patients after vascular surgery. For me, the research process itself ―addressing challenges and getting closer and closer to solutions ― is delightful. The prospect of continuing to engage in stimulating research is another reason I wish to enroll in a graduate program.
My specific choice of Mathematics in Finance in a Master’s program emanates from one of my most fascinating classes at Cornell: Professor Ming Huang’s Behavior Finance. Listening to Professor Huang explains the behavior of financial markets and, in particular, the ways in which these behaviors are inefficient, I was intrigued by the prospect of applying quantitative analysis to these markets. My goal in a graduate program is to combine my quantitative skills and interests with my background in finance.
After completing the Master’s program, I plan to pursue a career in my home country, China, where quantitative trading and algorithm trading are still in the early stages of development. My internship made me aware that, because of the lack of arbitrageurs and algorithm traders, quantitative strategies can be more effective in China than in countries like the U.S., in which the financial markets are already mature and more efficient. I keenly anticipate using the skills and knowledge I will acquire in a graduate program in Mathematics in Finance to improve the efficiency and contribute to the maturity of financial markets in China.
