Personal Statement

In x x x x, the then vice president of the United States AL-Gore arrived at the Experimental Middle School Attached to Beijing Normal University to inspect how the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment), an international environmental and educational program launched by Mr. Al-Gore himself on the Earth Day of x x x x, was being implemented. As chairperson of the Student Union, member of the GLOBE program (restricted to only 4 best middle schools in China), and the student of merit with good English proficiency, I reported to Mr. Al-Gore on the progress of the program in our school. Then, in x x x x , I went on an exchange program with an Australian high school where I directly experienced the education and culture of an English-speaking country. Finally, in x x x x, at a celebration to mark the 30th anniversary of Sino-American ping-pong diplomacy, I was appointed to put on an exhibition match for Dr. Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State.

Those three highlights of my school life have been defining because they are very special to me as a Chinese student. I found myself being exposed to international experiences and the cultivation of an international sensibility has enabled me to have a broader vision and horizon. I tend to look at things from a balanced point of view, taking into consideration both the Chinese and western cultural factors. I have also developed much broader concerns. I not only focused on my own personal and scholastic development, but also committed myself to serving the needs of the larger society. I became a “Rainbow” volunteer for the 21st Universiade in Beijing and a volunteer for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Compared with most of my Chinese peers, I have made earlier endeavors to develop my international perspectives. I have done so under the belief that, as China becomes more and more integrated into the international community, members of the present younger generation should not be confined to their national experiences. This is because within less than two decades, they will be the leaders of their society, which will be much more closely blended with the rest of the world. The earlier they develop their international perspectives, the better they can interact with the international community. The “conflicts of civilizations” which plague the modern world according to Huntington will be reduced if people from different cultural backgrounds can rally around some universal values and international perspectives.

This determination to develop international perspectives has led me to pursue an international education. Having completed my high school education cum laude, with special aptitudes in mathematics and English and with distinguished performance in extracurricular activities as monitor of class and lead singer of the student chorus, I entered Columbia College, Canada, in 20xx. After receiving a few months’ advanced training in integrated English skills, I transferred to Langara College where I majored in Commerce and Business Administration. My education in China has provided me with a sound foundation for international education, as I scored straight A’s in all the courses I took—Economics (covering both microeconomics and macroeconomics), Mathematics I and II (Calculus I and II for business and social sciences, in which I achieved the highest score in the class). In September 20x x, I switched back to Columbia College where I am taking three courses—Microeconomics, English and Sociology. As a member of the Student Activity Committee in charge of organizing events, I have launched two major campus activities this November—International Day and the Food Bank. For more than a year in Canada, I have been president of the Scientific Group at Columbia College, a Sunday church volunteer, AIDS social worker, volunteer of CNIB (the Canadian National Institute for the Blind) and World Weightlifting Championship, pianist in Fellburn Care Center, Vancouver Art Gallery assistant, etc.

Considering my mathematics aptitudes and my Canadian education in economics and commerce, I would like to concentrate on economics and business/marketing in my proposed program. My motivation comes from my belief that international business and marketing is the best way to realize the optimum allocation of resources on a global scale, most effectively and directly contributing to the welfare of people in various countries. As preparations for your program, I have two tentative practical experiences—doing a survey study on consumer credit of Beijing citizens in high school and an internship this summer at KPMG Huazhen Certified Public Accountants (CHINA) where I was exposed to audit principles and procedures.

Founded 140 years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Harvard University is an institution with honored traditions. Boasting the ethnic diversity of its students and its long-held commitment to fine teaching and pioneering research, Harvard University is devoted to the mission “to advance new ideas and promote enduring knowledge,” a mission that I most readily identify with. What is most exciting about Harvard University’s academic environment is that students will be continually challenged and inspired to do their best possible work. Your program’s interdisciplinary nature that “learning has no boundaries” will allow me to develop broad backgrounds in diverse fields. I am fascinated by the excellence of Harvard University’s undergraduate program in economics and business/marketing education and am determined to enrich your student community with my unique background as well as academic excellence.

个 人 陈 述
哈佛大学: 经济学与商科/市场营销专业本科

X xxx年,时任美国副总统的艾尔?戈尔先生莅临北京师范大学附属中学,前来检查由戈尔先生本人于xxxx年地球日在全球范围内发起的环境与教育合作项目GLOBE (Global Learning & Observation to Benefit the Environment,即“有益于环境的全球性学习与观察计划”)在我校的执行情况。作为校学生会主席,该GLOBE项目(在中国仅限于四所最好的中学)的成员,有着良好英语能力的校优秀学生,我向戈尔先生汇报了该项目在我校的进展。然后,于xxxx年,我前往澳大利亚一所中学参加一项交流项目,直接体验到了一个英语国家的教育与文化。最后,于20xx年,在庆祝中美乒乓外交30周年的一次活动中,我被委派为美国前国务卿基辛格博士举行了乒乓球表演赛。

我中学生活中的这三个重要片断具有决定性的意义,因为它们对我作为一个中国学生来说殊为特别。我发现自己正在接触到国际经验,而一种国际感受力的培养令我形成了较为宽广的眼界和认识面。我往往能从一个平衡的角度来看待事物,在考虑问题时能将东西方文化因素融合起来。此外,我所关注的焦点也变得更为广泛。我不仅仅注重个人的和学业的发展,也致力于去服务于大社会的需要。于是,我成为了在北京举办的第21届大学生运动会的“彩虹”志愿者,以及联合国难民署的志愿者。

与我大多数中国同龄人相比,我较早地行动起来,努力去培养我的国际视野。我之所以这样做,是出于这样一种信仰,即随着中国越来越融入到国际社会中,目前这一代青年不应该局限于其本国经验。这是因为在不到二十年的时间内,他(她)们将成为其社会的未来领袖,而届时,他(她)们的社会与世界之间将更加密不可分。他(她)们越早培养这种国际视野,他(她)们就越能更好地与国际社会进行良性互动。这样,亨廷顿所认为的侵扰着现代社会的那些“文明的冲突”将会极大地减少,只要来自不同文化背景的人们能汇聚在某些普通价值观和国际视野的周围。

这种培养国际视野的决心促使我去追求一种国际性的教育。在我以优等生的成绩完成了我的高中学业,在英语和数学上发展出了特别的禀赋,并在课外活动中作出了出色表现(担任班长和校合唱团领唱)之后,我于20xx年进入加拿大的哥伦比亚学院。在接受了为期4个月的英语综合技能的高级培训之后,我转学至Langara学院,从事商务和工商管理的专业学习。我在中国所接受的教育为我的国际教育提供了一个坚实的基础,因为在我所上的所有课程——经济学(涵盖微观经济学与宏观经济学),数学I和数学II(为商科和社会科学而设的微积分I和II)——中取得了全A的成绩,数学成绩为全班最高。20xx年9月,我返回哥伦比亚学院,目前正攻读三门课——微观经济学,英语,及社会学。作为学生活动委员会负责文艺的委员,我在今年11月已组织发起了两项重大的校园活动,即国际日及与食物银行。前者旨在促进来自不同文化背景的学生在哥伦比亚学院获得相互了解,后者则是帮助无家可归者获得食物。在加拿大的过去一年中,我担任了哥伦比亚学院科学小组的负责人,礼拜日教堂志愿者,爱滋病社会义工,CNIB(加拿大国家盲人学院)和世界举重锦标赛志愿者,Fellburn关爱中心的钢琴演奏者,以及温哥华艺术馆的助手等。

考虑到我的数学禀赋及在加拿大的商科教育,我希望在我所申请的本科学习中以商科和市场营销为专业。我申请这一专业的动机在于,我相信国际贸易与营销是实现全球范围内资源最佳配置的绝佳途径,能最有效最直接地促进不同国家中民众的福祉。作为攻读贵校课程的准备,我拥有两项初步的实际经验,其一是高中期间对北京居民的消费信贷进行过调研,其二是今年暑期在毕玛威注册会计师公司实习,初步了解了审计的各种原则和程序。

在《美国独立宣言》签署之前的140年就创立的哈佛大学,是一所拥有令人敬仰的学术传统的高等学府。它引以为傲的是其学生的多样性,以及始终如一地致力于优质的教学和先驱性的研究。哈佛大学所坚持的,是这样一个使命,即“倡导创新的思想,促进持久的知识”。对于这一使命,我深深予以认同并愿与之产生共鸣。哈佛大学的学术氛围,最激动人心的一点是,学生将持续地受到挑战与启迪,以将其潜能发挥至极致。贵校学位课程的交叉学科性质—即“学识无界域”,将使我在不同的领域中培养起宽广的背景。我为哈佛大学经济学与商科/市场营销专业优异的本科教学所吸引,并决心以我自身独特的背景和学业上的优异来为贵校的学生群体增光添彩。

Harvard Essay

What I Can Do to Make a Difference?

Throughout my life, I have had my share of life changing moments including the occasion I reported the progress of the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program in Beijing to the then vice president of the United States, Al Gore, in xxxx. Four years later in 20xx, I was appointed to play ping-pong for Dr. Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State, in memory of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-American diplomatic relations.

My experiences associated with these two world-famous names has broadened my horizons and ignited my desire to explore the world, but it was something much different and far more humble that has inspired me to commit myself to voluntary community service.

In July 20xx, our middle school organized an event to donate books and computers to a middle school hidden in the poverty-stricken countryside of Beijing. As a student reporter, I joined our principal and other students on the trip to deliver the donated items. The distance from the city and poor transportation and telecommunications had alienated this rural school from the colorful world we took for granted. Most of them had never left their homes, nor had they seen such fancy and advanced electronic equipment as computers, video cameras, etc.

They showed little interest in us when we first arrived. Yet behind their shyness and silence, we sensed their curiosity for the world beyond their reach. We took the initiative and extended our warm greetings in an effort to break the ice. The second day, I visited nine students in their homes in order to get first-hand information regarding their families. My hard work and sincerity won their trust and they started to tell me stories about their lives in the rural areas, including the difficulties they faced and their desire for a better education. I wrote a report on the educational environment of the rural students, their daily lives, and their aspirations for a brighter future.

The interview went successfully, and the detailed information I collected became a window into their lives for the world to see and to reflect upon. Actually, it was a significant educational experience for both teachers and students of our school and made us treasure what we had even more. Our original purpose of helping rural students with material contributions paled in comparison to what we reaped in return: an awakening to something deep and internal, something far more valuable.

This experience proved defining. Ever since then, to cultivate and demonstrate sympathy for the socially underprivileged people has always been a personal quality I have tried to develop. I believe that our society should not be a predatory one in which the strong prey on the weak; we must have commiseration for our less fortunate fellow creatures. Although we strive for the ideal of equality, there are times when feminine, wars, epidemics, and social injustices reduce some people to an abject condition. They need help and we have no right to reject their appeal for help. In this regard, we have an important social responsibility to perform. That is why a large part of my extracurricular activities, both in China and now in Canada, consists of voluntary services for many organizations, including the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. That is also the motivation behind my launching the food bank, being a CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) volunteer, a Sunday church volunteer, a pianist at Fellburn Care Center, etc. I do not object to seeking personal fulfillment through competition, but I insist on having concern for the weak even in our competitions. Poverty is perhaps a necessary condition of human existence for decades to come, and, if it cannot be eradicated through political will, at least sympathy and actions ensuing from this sympathy is what ordinary people like me can contribute to its alleviation. I have done so in the past and I will remain committed to working for the public welfare. I absolutely share what Mahatma Gandhi has said, “We must become the change we want to see in the world.”



Yale Transfer Statement

Why do you wish to transfer to Yale? What personal or educational experience influenced your decision to apply?

“Two roads diverged in the wood, and I--/I took the one less traveled by / And that has made all the difference.” These are three last lines from the poem The Road Not Taken by the American poet Robert Frost, a poem about making a difficult choice between two alternatives, one of which is easier and safer whereas the other is less attempted at and hence more perilous. Throughout our lives, we are faced with the necessity to make choices. To a great extent, the kind of choice we make determines the nature and the meaning of our existence. The greater the difficulty of the choice, the greater the value such a choice gives to our lives. The satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we set our objectives and choose our difficulties.

My present decision to transfer to Yale University is largely inspired by this poem of Robert Frost. It is true that for more than one year now I have become fairly comfortable with my education at Columbia College, Canada, which has added importantly to my senior middle school education in China and has exposed me to an enlightening north American education and to some international experiences. However, it is regretful and even disappointing to notice that the curriculum offered by Columbia College is rather narrow, unable to allow for broad perspectives. The instructors have all been quite dedicated, yet what they teach is very rudimentary, failing to reach sufficient depth. Finally, although Canada is one of the most important advanced western countries, only the United States is the center of the international community and my determination for acquiring international perspectives can best be fulfilled in the United States. As an Oriental, the development international perspectives during my most formative years of life will produce a far-reaching impact on my entire lifetime.

My decision to transfer is also essentially based on a level-headed recognition of my ample academic potential and my ambition to be a high achiever. As a prestigious university in the world, Yale University looks for distinctive students who exhibit energy, curiosity and a love of learning in their classes and lives. Your undergraduate program seeks students who have selected a rigorous academic program and have achieved distinction in a range of courses. Your admission requirements emphasize both academic excellence as well as personal qualities that may enable students to contribute to the campus community and the world at large. Bearing those criteria in mind, I find myself a worthy candidate for your undergraduate program as I achieved a 93/100 GPA during my high school in China and straight A’s in my Canadian education. In extracurricular activities, I have played central leadership roles in a great number of extracurricular responsibilities and at Yale University I will grow into an individual with personal maturity and social responsibility. Only Yale promises to develop to the fullest possible extent my potential both as a student and as a person. Among the special attractions of Yale are your freedom of scholarly inquiry, your acknowledged openness to interdisciplinary studies, a close student-to-faculty ratio that ensures close interaction with faculty, and your breadth in both academic and extracurricular activities that allows students to freely discover their intellectual and personal passions.

Yale is a household name in China as, among many things, Yale is the most active university in the United States conducting exchanges with Chinese academic community in a wide range of fields. As far as I am concerned, it was a Chinese History book in my middle school that triggered my long-standing admiration for Yale. On July 8, 1872, a 12-year-old Chinese boy named Zhan Tian-you arrived in the United States as one of the first officially sponsored students in contemporary China. He started with primary and middle school education and graduated from Yale in 1881 with a Bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. Several years after his return to China, he became the engineer of China’s first railway. Whenever I go traveling by rail, the name of this father of Chinese railways and the university that produced this great engineer would come to my mind. To follow his footsteps and become a person instrumental to society is why I am interested in applying for Yale. Therefore, to transfer to Yale is closely alloyed to my middle school aspiration.

Several other factors have reinforced my determination for pursuing education at Yale. Among many of my Canadian teachers at present, some graduated from American universities, including Yale University. Through my discussions with them, I have learned much more detailed information about Yale and have heard their unanimous praises of Yale as a indisputable world famous academic institution. In the summer vacation in 20xx, I returned to China and interned at KPMG HuaZhen Certified Public Accountants (CHINA) where I met some Chinese financial and business management professionals who have gone back to China to seek their career development after obtaining advanced degrees in the United States. They used their personal experiences to show me the importance of an American education to one’s academic and professional development. They also passed onto me some useful information about Yale.

An equally important factor is on a personal level. My mother is a graduate on the MBA program of China Europe International Business School. Professor Dick R. Wittink from Yale Business School used to teach on that program. His wonderful classes left an indelible impression on my mother and compared with the performance of other instructors from other universities and other countries, Prof. Wittink was most unparalleled. She often mentions those memorable and exciting impressions which have in return influenced me tremendously. It is my most sincere wish to receive fruitful instructions from Yale professors.

I have full confidence for undertaking an undergraduate program at Yale. My education in Canada so far has enabled me to adequately adapt to the education system in North America. My fine academic foundation laid in China and my sustained diligence have permitted me to achieve continued academic excellence in Canada. All those point to my worthiness to become part of the Yale student community.

Cornell Long Essay

Instruction:
We hope you'll use your essay to help us understand your thoughts and feelings about something that's important to you. Pick one of the following topics, and write a one-page essay. We're interested in which topic you choose, how you develop your idea, and how well you express yourself. Choose and discuss a quotation or personal motto that reflects your values and beliefs and tells us something about the kind of person you are.

“I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study." (Ezra Cornell, 1865) Ezra Cornell's founding statement regarding inclusiveness and opportunity is at the heart of our institution. In 1999, the university reaffirmed its commitment to inclusiveness in its "Open Doors, Open Hearts, Open Minds" statement. Discuss an event or situation you have experienced that was influenced by the input of people from other backgrounds and/or perspectives.

"Open Doors, Open Hearts, Open Minds"

On April 22(the Earth Day), xxx, the then vice president of the United States Mr. Al-Gore launched the “Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment” (GLOBE) Program. The program, implemented in a selected number of primary and middle schools worldwide, helps establish observation stations in those schools and provides participating students with necessary equipment with which to observe local atmospheric temperature, surface water temperature, pH value, precipitations, cloud atlas, and ecological conditions. The observed results are transmitted through Internet to the GLOBE Data Processing Center located in Boulder, Colorado, whereby scientists generate graphs, diagrams and pictures that explain the global environmental conditions and allow students to not only know and understand the local and the global environmental conditions but also study the interrelationship between local and global environmental changes.

As a key middle school in Beijing, the Experimental Middle School attached to Beijing Normal University where I was studying became one of the four schools in China that implemented the GLOBE Program. As only a limited number of students could be admitted into the Program, competitions were naturally fierce. As an environmental protection volunteer of our school, I had been regularly collecting the discarded plastic bags that littered the streets and the neighborhood, and this qualified me to become a member of the Program.

Ever since I became a member of the Program, I sacrificed an important part of my extracurricular time because I must make regular observations and documentations. I even had to sacrifice my weekends and summer and winter vacations because the observations and documentations were not supposed to be suspended; otherwise the precision and the continuity of the statistics would be seriously undermined. Together with other team members, I constructed a campus website for the Program which not only involved all the team members in this environmental protection cause but also involved all the non-member students of our school in the cause. As a result, the Program became a campus-wide campaign. Our activities extended beyond the campus, too. All students publicized environmental protection awareness in their respective communities and neighborhoods.

Then the crucial moment came. In March xxx, Mr. Al-Gore himself arrived at our campus to inspect how the Program was being implemented. He spoke to us about the background and the significance of the Program and discussed with us the environmental issues worldwide. As a Program member with good English proficiency, I reported to Mr. Al-Gore on how the Program was being implemented and the contributions our school had made to the GLOBE Program as a whole.

Through this program, I became greatly influenced by Mr. Al-Gore’s vision and perspectives. The program, essentially an open-door International Environmental School, allowed me to experience a novel concept of education and a free way of instruction, different from the conventional academic education in classroom. I learned how to use my own hands and mind to observe, to know and to study Nature. My heart became opened as I realized that we teenagers had a major role to play in loving, caring and protecting our environment. I also opened my mind in exercising my knowledge in physics, mathematics, biology, geology and environmental science, in using Internet and GPS technology, in performing measurements and calculations, in exchanging with students in other countries, and in contributing to a global cause benefiting the welfare of the entire humanity.

Michigan Essay:

Author Robert Pirsig suggests science has traditionally concerned itself with truth, while art has concerned itself with beauty. How might these two endeavors be the same? How might they be irreconcilably different?

The impulse toward truth and the impulse toward beauty are both indispensable to human beings. It was precisely those two essential impulses that have given rise to the creation of science and of art. A perfect example of the indispensability of those two impulses is Albert Einstein who is at once a physicist and a violinist, or Leonardo Da Vinci who is a painter as well as a designer of “flying machines”.

Science and art emerged as endeavors to answer man’s external and internal needs. Man lives in two cosmoses, one physical and one spiritual. What distinguishes man from animal is that he knows and needs to know about the physical world. This necessity to know about the physical world postulates that science must be concerned with the “hard” facts— the truth— of the physical reality. Hence science is necessarily pragmatic and utilitarian. Yet, while exploring the physical world, man also feels the need to express himself, to explore his emotions and feelings, and to seek spiritual comfort. In art he finds the satisfaction of those needs. Art does not fulfill any ulterior purposes but simply aims at man’s self-amusement. And nothing can delight man better than beauty; hence, strictly speaking, art is not linked with any utilitarian or materialistic interests. Art is aesthetic, contemplative, and disinterested, or in the words of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in his Critique of Judgment, art is characterized by “purposiveness without a purpose.”

However, as human endeavors, science and art share essential similarities. They are not necessarily reciprocally repulsive. Under certain circumstances, elements employed by science to seek scientific truth are assimilated into artistic creations and vice versa. For instance, people used to assume that the frenzy of inspiration are fundamental to art. However, in actual creative processes, the intuition and self-expression must be controlled by law and by the intellectual power of putting things into harmonious order. It was necessary to master certain laws and to use intellect to build Gothic cathedrals and to apply linear perspective and anatomy in order to create pictorial works of art (in this instance we recall the anatomic drawings by Da Vince). On the other hand, we have seen too many scientific designs which look like perfect works of art. American space shuttles, vehicles for scientific missions, display all the formal properties of an artwork—the symmetry, the curve, the shape, and the composition. Engineers use their non-verbal and visual thinking, characteristic of artistic activity, to have created some of the greatest works of art in human history. The space shuttles exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them. Thus, we can conclude that whether in scientific or in artistic quests, the underlying forces are essentially the same—imagination, creativity, and passion.

We should not posit science and art as absolute polarities. Instead, scientific and artistic modes of thinking are mutually enriching. The realization of the fruitfulness of thinking across different fields has led to creation of interdisciplinary studies and a student may properly achieve balanced intellectual development through the pursuit both in science and in art.

2. At the University of Michigan, we are committed to building an academically superb and widely diverse educational community. What would you as an individual bring to our campus community?

To sympathize with the socially underprivileged is a personal quality I have tried to develop. I believe our society should not be a predatory one where the strong prey on the weak; we must have commiseration for our less fortunate fellow creatures. Although we strive for the ideal of equality, there are times when feminine, wars, epidemics, and social injustices reduce some people to an abject condition. They need help and we have no right to reject their appeal for help. In this regard, we have an important social responsibility to perform. That is why a large part of my extracurricular activities, both in China and now in Canada, consists of voluntary services for many organizations, including the United Nations High Commission for Refugees. That is also the motivation behind my launching the food bank, being a CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) volunteer, a Sunday church volunteer, and a pianist at Fellburn Care Center. I do not object to seeking personal fulfillment through competition, but I insist on having concern for the weak even in our competitions. Poverty is perhaps a necessary condition of human existence; if it cannot be eradicated through political will, at least sympathy and actions ensuing from this sympathy is what I as an individual can contribute to its alleviation. I have done so in the past and will remain committed to the public welfare. To share my social commitment with my prospective classmates will be what I can bring to your campus culture.

3. Of your work, volunteer, and extracurricular activities, which has been the most intellectually stimulating, and why?

The Experimental Middle School attached to Beijing Normal University, where I studied from xxx to xxx, was one of the four schools in China that implemented the “Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment” (GLOBE) Program launched on the Earth Day of xxx by Mr. Al-Gore, the then vice president of the United States. I was one of a few members of the Program in our school.

The Program, implemented in a selected number of primary and middle schools worldwide, established observation stations and provided students with equipment to observe local atmospheric temperature, surface water temperature, pH value, precipitations, cloud atlas, and other ecological conditions. The observed results were transmitted through Internet to the GLOBE Data Processing Center in Boulder, Colorado, whereby scientists generated graphs, diagrams and pictures that explained the global environmental conditions, allowing students to study the interrelationship between local and global environmental fluctuations.

The activity was intellectually stimulating because it allowed me to experience a novel way of education different from classroom instructions. I learned how to use my own hands and mind to observe, to know and to study Nature. I opened my mind in applying my knowledge of physics, mathematics, biology, geology and environmental science, in using Internet and GPS technology, in performing rigorous measurements and computations to ensure data accuracy, in exchanging with students in other countries, and in contributing to a global cause of humanity, and finally, in reporting to Mr. Al-Gore himself concerning the Program’s progress in our school when he arrived at our campus in March xxx.

University of x x x

November 22, 20xx

Dear Sir or Madam:

As the principal of the Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University, I deem it a great pleasure to provide a letter of reference on behalf of Miss x x x in her application for admission into your esteemed university. Our school is one of the best in China, as it is a key middle school directly affiliated to the China National Education Commission. Our school motto is “To Know, To Behave, and To Live.” With an acknowledged academic tradition and reputation, our school has produced graduates who all succeeded in entering leading universities in China. As a graduate cum laude, Miss x x x is now interested in entering a leading university in the United States.

Coming from a family background with heavy intellectual atmosphere, Miss x x x was always committed to pursuing scholastic excellence. She had consistently ranked among the top 5% out of a total of 400 students in her grade. Excelling in mathematics, she helped many of her classmates to improve their mathematics. She liked to solve particularly difficult mathematics questions and, specially recommended by her mathematics teacher, she participated in the Beijing Mathematics Olympiad Contest in 20xx and ended up winning the first prize.

Miss x x x performed equally well in English. Her strong interest in English led her to launch, together with a few classmates, an English learning publication circulated among the students of her grade. They wrote articles in English, did the editing and printing all on their own. Their articles not only touched on English learning strategies and experiences, but also involved their opinions in the then current international events and introductions of the cultures of different English-speaking countries in the world. As all students could contribute to this publication, it considerably aroused their interest in learning English and improved their English level. For this creative project, our school’s English teacher highly praised Miss x x x for the important role she played.

Another indication of her good English proficiency is the fact that, when former vice president of the United States Al-Gore came to our school in 1997 to inspect the Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program that he launched worldwide (4 Chinese high schools were listed in this program), Miss x x x was chosen to report on how the program was being implemented in our school. In 1998, as a member of an exchange program, Miss x x x went to an Australian high school where she lived and studied with her Australian counterparts. She directly experienced the Australian culture while improving her command of English.

For her outstanding performance, Miss x x x was awarded the highest scholastic honors almost every year and in May 20xx she was given the Outstanding Student Honor. But Miss x x undertook a lot of extracurricular activities which could also testify to her personal excellence in many other aspects. She was the chairperson of our school’s students union and as such has helped organize almost all the major student-oriented campus events, including the school’s celebration of the 85th anniversary. She was the lead singer of the student chorus and won the first prize in a district singing contest and the second prize in a municipal contest. In all those activities, she demonstrated effective leadership and interpersonal skills, enjoying a high reputation among her classmates.

Morally, Miss x x x is altruistic, devoted to working for public welfare by doing a lot of voluntary work. She was a volunteer for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee, a “RAINBOW” volunteer for the 21st Universiade in Beijing(20xx). Once our school donated computers to a school in a distant and poor rural area and Miss x x and five other classmates donated books and traveled to that school to see the students in that school. I have heard that while studying in Canada, she has also been doing quite a lot of community work.

Miss x x wishes to apply for an undergraduate program related to business, or economics, or marketing. I believe she has important potentials because at our school she once did a survey study of Beijing citizens’ credit-based consumption behavior and, based on her survey results, submitted an article to Beijing Evening Post. She has the initiative and the real interest in those subjects. Her strong mathematics background will be her special asset.

To summarize, I find Miss x x well-qualified for your program. She has a strong motivation and she has developed an international mentality. Her one-year study in Canada has already made her comfortable with western education. I have every reason to believe she will acquit herself most splendidly in her proposed program. Therefore I recommend her most enthusiastically.

Yours sincerely
Principal, The Experimental High School Attached to Beijing Normal University
