今天早上，大家期待已久的“藤校中的大众情人”——康奈尔大学终于放榜了。
ED“拒信满天飞”，
对中国学生“最友好”的藤校哪去了？
在大家心目中，康奈尔大学一直是最友好、录取中国学生最多的藤校。
但是今年，康奈尔在大陆的录取直接给大家来了一个“下马威”，录取发的是非常吝啬了。
目前官网方面还没有公布具体的申请和录取数据，但随着今天上午的放榜，各大家长群都炸开锅了，康村真的是“狂撒拒信”，伤了不少同学的心~
随着各校录取信息的披露，小藤发现今年康奈尔的录取也是非常玄学的。
有学生托福113被录取，但也有学生托福116被发拒信。
今年康奈尔大学其中三个本科学院（农业与生命科学学院、建筑艺术与规划学院、商学院）完全不看标化；
四个本科学院（文理学院、工程学院、人类生态学学院、产业与劳动关系学院）标化可选；
结果是，提交和未提交标化的学生均有被录取，也均有被拒。
再看康奈尔今年十月发布2025er的profile，新生成绩也是非常高的，SAT高达1560，基本都是班级排名前10%。
从目前仅有的30+名学生来看，竞争是“激烈到头”了...
不禁让人联想到，康奈尔都已经这样，后面的“大藤”们，录取不是更加不乐观？？？
申请Top20名校的都是尖子中的尖子，托福、SAT早已拉不开差距，怎样从其他申请材料中做出“匹配度”和“差异化”，才是致胜关键！
这一点从我们今年录取的莱斯大学案例中就能发现——
戳→战绩丨莱斯大学Offer+1！成为1/440需要付出多大的努力？
言归正传，那些被康奈尔脆录的学生，是如何打出差异化和匹配度的呢？Ta们的「主文书」和「小文书」都写了点啥？
小藤特地从专业文书网站，为大家整理了康奈尔大学的3篇主文书+2篇补充文书范文（涵盖写作要点提示和文书点评）。
现在学起来还不晚，RD冲刺更好、更合适的梦校！
（因篇幅限制，文中仅展示2篇补充文书，完整版康奈尔文书解析，可在文直接领取）
康奈尔大学补充文书因学院而异，虽然七个学院看起来共有七种题目，但实际上都是比较相同的问题：
“为什么选择康奈尔大学？”
我们先来看看文理学院的题目：
College of Arts and Sciences:
Students in Arts and Sciences embrace the opportunity to delve into multifaceted academic interests, embodying in 21st century terms Ezra Cornell’s “any person…any study” founding vision. Tell us about the areas of study you are excited to explore, and specifically why you wish to pursue them in our College. (650 words)
文理学院的学生有机会深入研究多方面的学术问题，这体现出了 21 世纪 康奈尔大学创建人Ezra Cornell 的“任何人……任何研究”的创始愿景。
请告诉我们您热衷于探索的学习领域，尤其是您希望在我们学院攻读这些领域的原因。(650 字)
这就是最典型的“Why school？”题目，它要求学生对康奈尔大学的特点更了解。
针对这个题目，下面有一个专门制作的用来分析康奈尔大学特点的分析表格，来找到：
这份表格涵盖了专业、学术、录取、性格、校园等数十个方面的问题，帮助学生更加快速的get康奈尔和自身匹配的特质。
（分析表共有6页，篇幅原因截取部分，文末可领取表格源文件~）
除此之外，网站针对康奈尔大学文理学院补充文书的题目，也给出了5点写作提示。
1.请记住，这不是另一份个人陈述。
不要重复在其他申请部分中表达过的想法，需要一些新的主题或者一件事情的新维度。
2.不要为写满 650 个单词感到有压力，而是将它想象为康奈尔大学给你展示的空间。
出色的文书不需要达到字数限制就可以完成，有时，少即是多。
3.有明确的指向性
提供令人难忘的细节或具体的经历，不要只说你喜欢科学。
说出你感兴趣的特定领域里，你上过哪些课程来培养你的兴趣，你做了什么研究。
此外，一些恰到好处的描述性语言可以帮助招生官更好得理解你。
4.向招生官展示你了解的康奈尔大学
可以分享你在康奈尔感兴趣的课程、课程、俱乐部、活动，主要体现出你为什么对康奈尔感兴趣的细节。
5. 发挥自己的想象力
不要让固有思维限制了创造力，一些最令人印象深刻的文书是申请人跳出现有固定框架所思考出来的。
接下来让我们看看关于这个题目的范文。
When I discovered you, first through Andy Bernard’s resounding a cappella in The Office and then by your amazing stem cell research, I couldn’t help but think how perfect we’d be together. I would chart an educational path centered on interdisciplinary learning in your collaborative community, merging stem cells with linguistics; biology with beatboxing; outdoor adventure with poetry.Cornell offers unique opportunities to expand my medical research interests. Advanced classes like the Regulation of Cell Proliferation, Senescence, and Death—one of the few classes in the country offered on epigenetic regulation and signal transduction-induced pluripotency—perfectly match my interests in stem cells. I am excited by the work of Dr. Brian Rudd at the Cornell Stem Cell Program, as it will allow me to build on my previous work in CRISPR-mediated T-cell development. To my knowledge, similar research is not being conducted anywhere else in the world, and I hope to study signaling pathways and T-cell development under his guidance.
Although I have remained focused on stem cell research, I also have great aspirations beyond molecular biology. A double minor in economics and linguistics will allow me to study interdisciplinary mechanisms and examine humanistic issues through a cultural lens. I relish analyzing market trends as my high school’s Investment Team co-leader, and look forward to courses like Behavioral Economics and Public Policy, which will help me build a theoretical understanding of financial markets and relate individual behavior to public policy. A minor in linguistics will further my seven-year-long Spanish journey, and I look forward to academic opportunities encompassing Spanish poetry and poetry of the Americas.While I may not be the archetype paper salesman (think Andy!), I too share a special connection with Cornell A Cappella. Many a middle school car ride were spent listening to Cornell Tarana, and it feels surreal that I may be experiencing campus life with the group I’ve loved and admired for so long. I hope to merge my background in beatboxing and Hindustani Classical music by singing with Tarana, learning from peers and sharing my love of South Asian music with the Cornell community.
A kid who grew up racing Hot Wheels on top of my mother’s medical books, medicine was always prevalent in my life. Medicine now excites me because it is a perfect balance between intense scientific inquiry and dedicated personal connection. With Cornell’s unique interdisciplinary environment, I would have the ability to expand my endeavors in medicine, develop a global view of community healthcare, and explore new avenues essential to my diverse aspirations.Oh, Cornell, you are gorges. I long to hold your hand as I walk along the Beebe’s scenic waterfront, take in picturesque sunsets on the Slope, put on awesome Tarana concerts on your hallowed ground. It is the perfect harmony of research, music, and holistic approach to my aspirations, that tells me you are the ideal place to nurture me into a globally aware physician-scientist!1. 创意+个性
这篇文章实际上相当于是申请人写给文理学院的“情书”。
作者能够将她的技能和经验展示在一个真正引人入胜的结构里，展示出了她的幽默感和俏皮的天性。
“即使我们（招生官）没有太仔细地看这篇文章的实质，也可以通过作者如何回答文书题目以及她选择框架答案的方式来了解作者是谁。
她喜欢看The Office并且对赛车 Hot Wheels 有着美好的回忆。
这些细节可能看起来并不重要，但让我们更全面地了解这个人是谁，以及她将为社区带来什么样的能量 。”
2. 不要因循守旧
好的文书其实并没有固定的模板，它们可能会采用我们平常看起来，不一定会相互关联的想法、准则和经验，并用某种方式或者语言完美结合起来。
我们不一定期望一个人喜欢“biology and beatboxing” 。
但通过这篇文章，作者向我们展示了她对两者的热爱将如何在康奈尔培养它们。
3. 表达出对康奈尔大学的热爱
这位申请人提到了她在录取之后，想在康奈尔探索的特定课程、社团和课程。
如果你是康奈尔大学的招生官，当你看到作者的这些话，你会感觉到这是一个非常重视学校的学生。
这也就是为什么在申请之前，要仔细了解、研究一所大学的原因（可以参考why school表格来辅助研究）。
从长远来看，研究大学是有更大的回报的。
清楚了文理学院的补充文书题目、要求和范例解析，另外，大家最关注的还是工程学院的补充文书应该怎么写？
For you, what makes Cornell Engineering special? Why do you want to attend Cornell Engineering?告诉我们康奈尔大学工程和/或在康奈尔大学学习工程最让您兴奋的地方。您如何看待自己成为康奈尔工程社区的一员？
As I hiked through the dense forest on Mt. Rainier’s Skyline Trail, I finally reached a clearing. I took in a breath of fresh air, enjoying the sweet scent of evergreen conifer, and saw a view I would never forget. Mountain goats grazing in a field of wildflowers against the snow capped peak of Mt. Rainier. I have always been amazed by the beauty of nature and I want to dedicate my efforts to preserving the planet. By combining a major in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Robotics, I believe that Cornell will provide the education necessary for me to apply robotic technology to solve global environmental challenges.
As an aspiring mechanical engineer, I believe courses like Future Energy Systems and Intermediate Fluid Dynamics will teach me how to develop and implement renewable energy conversion devices to serve today’s power hungry society. I would love to put my newfound knowledge to work by joining Professor Lindsey Anderson’s energy transitions research team at the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future, developing co-optimized mechanical engineering solutions like smart technologies to make renewable fuel sources more accessible.
There is incredible potential for environmental robotics in the future and I am determined to use robotics to rethink environmental cleanup and recovery. Cornell’s recent development of a minor in Robotics would be the perfect way to help me achieve that goal. Taking courses like Autonomous Mobile Robots would provide the knowledge necessary to design robots capable of replanting trees and promoting forest regrowth without human intervention. Additionally, learning about new cutting edge applications of robotics in Cornell’s Robotics Seminar would be a dream come true. Jacopo Banfi’s seminar in April 2019 discussed the necessary framework to plan multi-robot missions to overcome limited range communication modules. This novel framework would make it possible for robot fleets to be deployed in remote forests and oceans, with long-range human communication. I would be thrilled to attend the weekly sessions like these to learn about novel technology that could have huge potential impacts in the environmental field.
I really discovered the endless applications of robotics in the real world in my junior year of high school when I spent over 100 hours developing a solar-powered blimp designed to aid urban search and rescue for the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair (WSSEF). I’m especially excited to further my work with Professor Mark Campbell in the Autonomous Systems Lab to autonomize my blimp system and optimize it for applications in monitoring forest degradation and wildlife tracking.Today’s environmental problems can’t be solved entirely with engineering. Government policy plays a huge role in the fight against climate change and Cornell’s unique flexibility would allow me to take Environmental Policy and Governance classes in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Taking The Politics of Human-Environment Relations would broaden my perspective on the complex interrelationship between humanity and the environment, giving me insight into how policy can synergize with mechanical engineering to solve pressing environmental issues.Through the Cornell Engineering Co-op Program I would be able to gain invaluable industry experience and exposure to current applications of engineering in the environment. Companies like Droneseed and The Ocean Cleanup are already using drone swarms to replant native trees and robots to clean up ocean trash. And there is potential for so much more. Earth gives us clean water to drink, fresh air to breathe, and beautiful places to explore. We have an obligation to play a role in sustaining the health of our planet. At Cornell, I would receive an excellent education in Mechanical Engineering and Robotics that would empower me to achieve my dream--applying robotics to save our home.
