第2个、第3个题目和去年类似，但第2题的字数与去年相比差不多减少了一半。

加州理工学院认为这些文书是给学生们一个用自己独特声音向学校展示自己的机会，没有正确或错误答案。

但学校确实给出了一个建议，就是在开始写之前，仔细阅读“我们寻找什么”的页面。

其实就是加州理工希望从学生身上看到的8种特质：

1.对数学的热爱（love）

2.对化学和物理的热情（passion）

3.对人文社科的欣赏（appreciation）

4.弹性：当你面临一个看似无法解决的问题时，你是会放弃，还是继续推进？

5.协作精神

6.创造力

7.一心一意的决心

8.一个“发泄出口”：学校希望了解你热爱的其他追求（运动、艺术等等），以及为什么。

详细内容以及具体解释，可以去学校官网查看：

What about them made you want to learn more and explore further? (Min: 100/Max: 200 words for each experience)

在加州理工学院，我们研究科学、技术、工程和数学中的一些最具挑战性的、基本的问题。

2.The creativity, inventiveness, and innovation of Caltech's students, faculty, and researchers have won Nobel Prizes and put rovers on Mars, but Techers also imagine smaller scale innovations every day, from new ways to design solar cells to 3D printing dorm decor. How have you been an innovator in your own life? (Min: 200 / Max: 250)

加州理工学院的学生、教职员工和研究人员的创造力和创新性已经获得了诺贝尔奖，并将火星车送上了火星，但他们仍然每天想着更小规模的创新，从设计太阳能电池的新方法到 3D 打印宿舍装饰。
