2015美國大學(xué)申請文書提前公布

暑假可不要想著全世界high就忘了自己的正事?。?一大批文書正在逼近！李老師要@你們的爸爸媽媽以及文書老師監(jiān)督你們這些HIGH得飛起來的孩子回家寫文書！


近期至少有六七所常見美國大學(xué)公布了2015-16年的Supplement及文書題目。通常情況下，美國大學(xué)包括通用申請平臺（Common?Application）會選在8月1日前后發(fā)布新學(xué)年的相關(guān)要求和文書等。讓我們看看這些搶先公布的大學(xué)（時間關(guān)系，也尊重原意，沒有翻譯，請自行查閱）。有興趣的同學(xué)，可以盡早準(zhǔn)備哦。

該大學(xué)是非Common?Application學(xué)校，也不是Naviance成員，有自己獨立的申請系統(tǒng)。2015-16申請平臺已經(jīng)開放，詳見：https://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/first-year/application/?面試（必須）申請鏈接：https://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/first-year/alumni-interview
