最近申请又快到了，爬文也搜索到丰富的资讯，有点疑问想请教各位 小弟想申请2012 fall CS MS 的 UCSB、UC-Irvien、UC Davis 这三间的共通点都是除了要上传SOP外还要上传有点类似自传的东西@@ 每个学校给的名字也不同 UCSB 除了SOP外还要上传Personal Achievements/Contributions 给的方向是 Personal Achievements/Contributions: UC Santa Barbara is interested in a diverse and inclusive graduate student population. Please describe any aspects of your personal background, accomplishments, or achievements that you feel are important in evaluating your application for graduate study. For example, please describe if you have experienced economic challenges in achieving higher education, such as being financially responsible for family members or dependents, having to work significant hours during undergraduate schooling or coming from a family background of limited income. Please describe if you have any unusual or varied life experiences that might contribute to the diversity of the graduate group, such as fluency in other languages, experience living in bicultural communities, academic research interests focusing on cultural, societal, or educational problems as they affect underserved segments of society, or evidence of an intention to use the graduate degree toward serving disadvantaged individuals or populations. UCI 除了SOP外还要上传Personal History of Statement。但是UCI附加了一句 "Personal History Statement" that is also required for all applicants who are US Citizens or legal US Permanent Residents. 所以我们国际学生申请就不用上传了是吗?? 我想确认一下>< UC Davis 除了SOP外还要上传Personal History Statement 方向是 In an essay, discuss how your personal background informs your decision to pursue a graduate degree. Please include any educational, familial, cultural, economic, or social experiences, challenges, or opportunities relevant to your academic journey; how your life experiences contribute to the social, intellectual, or cultural diversity within your chosen field; and/or how you might serve educationally underrepresented segments of society with your degree. 想请问有申请这几所有经验的板友: 因为自己也不是很好拿捏SOP和personal history statement的分别，东西可能会有些 重复 想请问personal statement在审核中占很重吗?? 因为仔细想想自己的个人背景，没有 任何特殊经验与众神人们的卓越成就0.0，怕personal history写出来没有看头>_<， 有点紧张。 还有想请问这种类型的文件要求的方向要如何去撰写?? 就照系上的要求去写吗?? --
