在本科階段，同學(xué)們可以申請(qǐng)康奈爾大學(xué)的農(nóng)業(yè)和生命科學(xué)學(xué)院，建筑、藝術(shù)和規(guī)劃學(xué)院，文理學(xué)院，SC Johnson 商學(xué)院，工程學(xué)院，人類生態(tài)學(xué)院，工業(yè)和勞動(dòng)關(guān)系學(xué)院。

根據(jù)申請(qǐng)生選擇申請(qǐng)的學(xué)院不同，大學(xué)要求寫作的補(bǔ)充文書題目也不一樣。概括來說，康奈爾大學(xué)的補(bǔ)充文書類型是：Why, Community.下面我們來看不同學(xué)院的補(bǔ)充文書題目。

1、農(nóng)業(yè)和生命科學(xué)學(xué)院

Required:Why are you drawn to studying the major you have selected? Please discuss how your interests and related experiences have influenced your choice. How will an education from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University specifically serve to support your learning, growth, and the pursuit of your goals?

解析：學(xué)院給出的文書寫作提示非常的具體，希望了解申請(qǐng)生有具體的理由和實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)來說明自己為什么選擇在農(nóng)業(yè)和生命科學(xué)學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)課程。為什么不能在更普遍的文科環(huán)境中追求個(gè)人的興趣呢?寫作時(shí)可以更明確點(diǎn)。

Optional:At Cornell CALS, we aim to leave the world better than we found it, so we seek those who are not simply driven to master their discipline, but who are also passionate about doing so to serve the public good. Please elaborate on an activity or experience you have had that made an impact on a community that is important to you. We encourage you to think about community broadly—this could include family, school, local, and global communities (300-word limit)

解析：學(xué)校希望了解申請(qǐng)生參與的某項(xiàng)活動(dòng)或經(jīng)歷，該活動(dòng)或經(jīng)歷對(duì)于學(xué)生所關(guān)心的社區(qū)產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。這段活動(dòng)或經(jīng)歷也不一定非要與農(nóng)業(yè)和生命科學(xué)相關(guān)，可以讓思路打開。雖然這道題是可選的，但是申請(qǐng)生為什么要放棄向招生官提供更多有關(guān)你自己信息的機(jī)會(huì)呢?

Optional: Cornell CALS is dedicated to purpose-driven study of the agricultural, life, environmental, and social sciences and welcomes students with interests that span a wide variety of disciplines. Given our agricultural history and commitment to educating the next generation of agriculturalists, please share if you have a background or interest in agriculture, regardless of your intended major. An "agricultural entity" for the purpose of this question is defined as cultivating soil, growing crops, and raising livestock (ex. farm, ranch, greenhouse, vineyard, etc.). (300-word limit)

解析：這也是一篇可選的文書題目，但要是申請(qǐng)生對(duì)研究農(nóng)業(yè)和生命科學(xué)感興趣，就沒有理由視而不見。申請(qǐng)生可以與招生官分享自己在該領(lǐng)域的任何經(jīng)驗(yàn)，包含的個(gè)人細(xì)節(jié)和軼事自然越多越好。

Select all that apply:

A primary source of income for my parent/guardian(s) comes from ownership of or employment by an agricultural entity.

My extended family owns or operates an agricultural entity.

I have experience working in an agricultural entity.

I have interest in pursuing a career in an agricultural entity.

Please feel free to share additional details (optional).

URS students may want to emphasize their enthusiasm and depth of interest in the study of urban and regional issues.
