[커뮤니티 컬리지/시애틀 어학연수/시애틀 커뮤니티 컬리지/GRCC]그린리버에서 온 레터

 

그린리버 커뮤니티 컬리지(GRCC)에서 온 반가운 레터가 있어 포스팅 합니다.

이번 학기부터 grcc에서는 국제 학생들 대상으로 추가 서비스를 제공하기로 했는데

서비스 내용은 편입학시에 필요한 자기소개서 (personal statement)에 대한

에세이 능력을 강화할수 있도록 무료로 1:1 코칭 서비스를 제공해 주기로 했습니다.

자기소개서를 시작할때 다음의 팁을 활용해서 시작을 하시면 좋을듯 합니다.

 

 

Here are five tips to help you get started:

1. 1. Get involved! Keep a list of activities, events, memories and experiences both in and out of the classroom that are important to you. This will be helpful when it's time to start writing.
   2. Ask your friends and family about what makes you unique. Do they all use the same words to describe you? Maybe your mom can remember the first time you took apart a toy airplane, which eventually led you to choose a major in aviation.
   3. Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. It's okay to talk about challenging situations, but make sure you use it to demonstrate how you have grown and become a stronger person, not to make the admission committee feel sorry for you. In other words, explain, don't complain.
   4. Start researching the universities you are interested in and think about why that particular institution would be a good fit for you. There is more to your education than a university with a good ranking, ranging from research areas and internship opportunities to volunteer organizations and student leadership opportunities. Make sure you can articulate what makes the institution you are writing about different than other schools you might be applying to.
   5. Be who you are and write from the heart. Think about writing a personal statement as a kind of storytelling. Tell your own story.
