加州理工學院2024fall附加文書有哪些？

隨著申請季的開啟，加州理工學院2024fall附加文書已經發布，到底有哪些不同呢，讓我們具體來看看吧！

Required Academic Question

Because of the rigorous courses in the core curriculum, Caltech students don't declare a major until the end of their first year. However, some students arrive knowing which academic fields and areas already most excite them, or which novel fields and areas they most want to explore.

If you had to choose an area of interest or two today, what would you choose? Why did you choose that area of interest? (Max: 200 words)

必答學術問題

由于核心課程的嚴格要求，加州理工學院的學生在第一學年結束前不會選擇專業。然而，有些學生來到這里時，已經知道哪些學術領域讓他們最感興趣，或者哪些新穎的領域是他們最想探索的。

如果你今天必須選擇一個或兩個感興趣的領域，你會選擇什么?你為什么選擇這個感興趣的領域?(最多200字)

Required Short Answer Questions

1.At Caltech, we investigate some of the most challenging, fundamental problems in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Identify and describe two STEM-related experiences from your high school years, either in or out of the classroom, and tell us how and why they activated your curiosity. What about them made you want to learn more and explore further? (Min: 100/Max: 200 words for each experience)

2.The creativity, inventiveness, and innovation of Caltech's students, faculty, and researchers have won Nobel Prizes and put rovers on Mars. But Techers also imagine smaller scale innovations every day, from new ways to design solar cells to how to 3D print dorm decor. How have you been a creator, inventor, or innovator in your own life? (Min: 200 / Max: 250)

3.Caltech's mission – to cultivate learning, discovery, and innovation for the benefit of humanity – relies on its community members embracing fundamental Caltech values:

Openness and enthusiasm for having preconceptions challenged

Respect and appreciation for the idea that, while we are all members of the same community, the opportunities we've had to develop, showcase, and apply our talents have not been equal

Passion for the ideal that science can and should meaningfully improve the lives of others

Share what one or more of these values evokes for you. (Min: 200 / Max: 400)

必答簡答題

1.在加州理工學院，我們研究科學、技術、工程和數學中一些最具挑戰性的基本問題。找出并描述你高中時期的兩次與STEM相關的經歷，無論是在課內還是在課外，并告訴我們它們是如何以及為什么激發了你的好奇心。是什么讓你想要學習更多，探索得更遠?(每段經歷最少100字/最多200字)

2.加州理工學院的學生、教師和研究人員的創造力、發明能力和創新能力獲得了諾貝爾獎，并將火星車送上了火星。但老師們每天也在設想更小規模的創新，從設計太陽能電池的新方法到如何3D打印宿舍裝飾。在你自己的生活中，你是如何成為一個創造者、發明家或創新者的?(最少100字/最多200字)

3.加州理工學院的使命——培養學習、發現和創新，造福人類——依賴于其社區成員信奉加州理工學院的基本價值觀:

對挑戰先入之見的開放和熱情

尊重和欣賞這樣一種理念:雖然我們都是同一個社區的成員，但我們發展、展示和應用自己才能的機會并不平等

對科學能夠而且應該有意義地改善他人生活這一理想的熱情

分享其中一項或多項價值觀對您的啟發。(最少100字/最多200字)

Optional Short Answer Questions

We know, we know ... you see optional and start to wonder if we mean it. But in this section, we truly do! See these as completely optional opportunities to show us more of your personality.

Optional. We promise.

1.If there are aspects of your life or social or personal identity that you feel are not captured elsewhere in this application, please tell us about them below. (Max: 150 words)

2.When not surveying the stars, peering through microscopes, or running through marathons of coding, Caltech students pursue an eclectic array of interests that range from speed-cubing to participating in varsity athletics to reading romance novels. What is a favorite interest or hobby, and why does it bring you joy? (Max: 100 words)

3.Did you have a hard time narrowing it down to just one interest or hobby? We understand – Caltech students like to stay busy, too – tell us about another hobby or interest! (Max: 50 words)

可選簡答題

1.如果你覺得你的生活或社會或個人身份的某些方面在本申請的其他地方沒有被捕捉到，請在告訴我們。(最多150字)

2.加州理工學院的學生除了觀察星星、用顯微鏡觀察或者跑馬拉松式的編程之外，他們的興趣愛好五花八門，從速成立方體到參加校隊的田徑運動，再到閱讀浪漫小說。你最喜歡的興趣或愛好是什么?為什么它能給你帶來快樂?(最多100字)

3.你是否很難將它縮小到一個興趣或愛好?我們理解——加州理工學院的學生也喜歡忙碌——告訴我們你的其他愛好或興趣吧!(最多50字)

Optional Academic Short Answer Questions

OPTIONAL: Have you had any extenuating circumstances (such as limited course selection or disruptions), that have affected your coursework, but that are not described elsewhere in your application? If so, tell us about them here.
