优秀学生本科留学申请文书
Dear _,
The personal data enclosed in this application file will demonstrate my profile as a child prodigy who entered into Jilin University at 16 and joined the country's topmost scientific research institution as a graduate student at 20. Now with an engineering experience of 4 years at the age of 24, I would like to scale still higher intellectual heights by pursuing advanced studies, an education process that I hope will gain me the competitive edge for personal growth and push me to the forefront of scientific progress.
Immersed in the academic atmosphere of an intellectual family, I was encouraged in my early childhood by my parents to read books in a wide range of disciplines. With this privileged background, I attended primary school at 6, at least one year earlier than the normal admission age of 7 or older. I felt so lucky-God blessed me with so many natural gifts. At an early age I showed a natural talent in mathematics and a strong memory, the attributes that enabled me to excel my classmates, especially in such challenging subjects as mathematics, physics and chemistry. I took part in a variety of provincial and national contests, demonstrating my excellent academic skills and wining many prizes.
Blessed with my academic potence, I was able to finish my primary and secondary education in 10 years, two years ahead of the usual twelve years. At 16, I entered a privileged class specially designed for the gifted students at Jilin University, a cradle of scientific and technological talents in China. The class selects only 90 students out of more than 1000 child prodigies across China each year. (Jilin University is a prestigious university of general education with 20 departments and a regular annual enrollment of 1,500 students) I studied at Electrical Engineering (E. E) Department, a highly selective department with a gathering of smart students who are hard to compete with.
Four years of undergraduate studies had me well trained in a wide range of disciplines, and my outstanding academic performance encouraged me to pursue an advanced degree. With a concentration on mathematics, communication and computer, I studied a variety of courses in my undergraduate years, among which were Higher Mathematics, Probability Statistics and Stochastic Process, Theories of Signal and Information, High Frequency Circuits and Principles of Modern Communications Systems, Computer Principle and other courses in the Electronic Technology field. I also studied Western culture, History and Economics in order to build up a good base for my education. With a wish to build a solid foundation for my future research and study, I was fully devoted to my academic training at college. My hard work proved to be successful. My overall GPA of 3.57/4.0 ranked in the top one percent of my class. Upon graduation in 1994, I won easy acceptance into Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications as a graduate student at 20, an age when most Chinese students would be just starting their university education. At this university, I narrowed my academic interest down to the area of mobile communications and digital communications.
My MA education proved to be another period of fruitful and successful academic pursuits. Among the courses I selected were Probability Theory, ISDN & ATM, SPC, Digital Signal Processing, Personal Communications, C++ language. These disciplinary training prepared me to delve deeper in the study of electrical engineering and communications. To keep me informed of the latest developments in my field and to brush up my English language skills, I also read the latest professional journals and periodicals of the telecommunications on a regular basis. Burning the course of my MA program, my outstanding academic records won me various scholarships in seven consecutive years, among which, to name a few, were Excellent Students, Excellent Person, Excellent fellowship.
To garnish this writing with other personal activities other than academic achievements, I need to mention my perfect performance in a dancing contest at Jilin University, which won me the first prize.
Anyway, looking back at my campus life, I feel confident to say that I have fulfilled the education goal to my satisfaction.
Teaching Experience
I worked as a teaching assistant at the Electronics Circuit Group in Personal Communications in my third semester at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. I taught product applications and the telecommunications development in China. I trained the students by theoretical approach and also taught them how to solve real problems by practical means. I found the teaching position so much enjoyable. The daily academic exchanges between the students and myself were beneficial to both parties. I believe that my students enjoyed my teaching too because my classes were well attended.
Starting from April 1998, I worked as a part-time teacher at HP corporation. Later I was also employed by Software Center Motorola, China. I taught Motorola customers the principle of CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and the usage of the HP instruments for testing CDMA Base station and CDMA Handset. Motorola customers were all satisfied with my teaching. I not only grasped advanced knowledge but also, more importantly, learned how to be a good teacher.
Research Experience
In the second year of my graduate studies, I began to work as research assistant of Professor Dacheng Yang, a renowned expert in digital and mobile communication Research and Design Center of Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. After learning the background, application, principle, and advantage of CDMA, I selected the signaling design of the CDMA Base Station Interface as my research topic. I evaluated and studied the protocols IS-95, IS-634 and the ULTRA interface protocols of Lucent. Applying software engineering method and Oriented-Object approach, I designed the internal interface of Base Station System between BSC and BTS-Abis interface, which is one of the most important parts of such a large and sophisticated project. Then referring to protocols LAPD/LAPF, integrating the latest knowledge and using one step. By working on this project, I learned more about CDMA, GSM and other mobile communications systems. Later I felt so proud to hear what I had done was downloaded to the board and the design ran flawlessly.
Working Experience
After I obtained my MA degree in engineering in 1997, I was employed by a telecommunication branch company of Posts & Telecommunications Industry Company. I participated in the JSU18 switching System Project, which is planned to produce the sixth largest switching system in China's own switching systems. I was in charge of the No.7 signaling section and developed the trunk communication system. Referring to protocol Q. 764, etc, I designed the TUP (Telephone User Part) & ISUP (ISDN User Part) - the most important part of a switching system-with C++ Language. By now, I have finished the software flow of CPC (call process) of these two parts. Through programming, downloading the procedure into the real switching system, debugging and testing, I came to deeply understand the call process of the large switching system and the relationship between all the modules of a large switching system. The procedure that I completed is so good that we can call successfully through it.
In working on these two projects, I cultivated diligent work habits, independent research ability and team spirit. I feel I have the potential for further further academic growth and am ready to take up the challenge of advanced studies in my chosen field.
From August 1998, I joined Software center Motorola, China and got involved in the CDMA project. We must communicate with international customers on a frequent basis in English environment. So I not only learned about the excellent software development process and various branches of advanced knowledge, but also improved my English ability. Here, we often exchange our findings at presentations given by others and myself in English. I get a lot of technical and non - technical training, in such subjects as Software Product Process, CDMA ( Code Division Multiple Access), GSM, GPRS ( General Packet Radio Service - the third generation system of GSM), TTCN ( Tree and Tabular Combined Notation - a test language), ITEX ( Interactive TTCN Editor and executor - a test tool for the TTCN language), and even English language.
Purpose of Study
I learn greedily, but the more I am trained, the more deeply I realize what I learned earlier is not enough. I have not got a chance to lead a major project, although I have been moving on a smooth career path and always finished my part of every project immaculately. As a female engineer, I must learn more to compete with most male engineers to lead a major project. And in spite of all my achievements, I feel that I have not brought my intellectual capabilities into full play. So I desire to enter your esteemed university to pursue advanced studies so that I can lay a solid foundation for my future research work. In the meantime, I will be able to improve my English, and I hope that someday I can speak English as well as Chinese.
I believe I have acquired the necessary theoretical framework and practical experience for advanced studies. Equipped with the ability to teach myself and conduct independent research, I will be able to attain competence quickly in areas that I may at first know very little about. I never work just to finish an assignment, but instead I always try conscientiously to learn as much as possible and sharpen my expertise through the work I do. Keeping this work style, I have become highly skilled in such fields as switching system's trunking system (communications and software), Code Division Multiple Access system (mobile communications and software), SDT & TTCN (CASE and test tools), and pSOS+ system (real-time operation system). These achievements would be a great help in my pursuit of advanced education, especially when I can work under the seasoned guidance of your strong faculty. My previous experience will qualify me for the TA and RA positions of your university as well.
I would like to apply to do graduate studies in the United States where the research and education in global telecommunications are leading the world. I have long admired your esteemed university known for its demanding work ethics and nurturing academic atmosphere. I am confident that I can receive a high quality education on your PhD program. If I am accepted, I am also confident that I can make quick progress in the E. E field, especially in the areas of wireless communication, communication, digital signal processing, the disciplines that share many common characteristics and important principles. Given the broad applications of these technologies, I believe the progress we make in these areas will help shape the future of the mankind. I would like to be at the forefront of such progress. As I am well trained and broadly experienced in EE and computer science, you may find me more than qualified for advanced studies in areas other than those I have mentioned. If so, I would be grateful to your appreciation and would like to hear any advice that you may have for me. Upon completion of the program, I will return to my homeland and strive to make scientific contributions that both your university and I can be proud of.
Yours sincerely,

美国留学读本科有什么优势
1、美国大学众多，可选的学校种类也多
美国大学有 400 多所，其中很大一部分是综合性大学，比如我们耳熟能详的哈佛、耶鲁等常青藤，加州大学伯克利分校这样的公立大学等。这些学校以科研和教学为主，在这样的学校里，国际奖项的获得者、杰出贡献者可能就是你的校友。这些学校科系设置齐全，师资力量强大，学生包括本科、硕士、博士。在这里你可以学你所学，发挥你的长处。
其次是日益被中国家长认可的文理学院，如王力宏曾就读的威廉姆斯学院，冰心读书的威尔斯利学院等。这些学院小而精，崇尚素质教育，学科以自然科学和社会科学为主。这里的教授以教学和关怀学生为主，学生在这儿可以得到很好地教育和关注。
再有就是专门以教学为主的地区性大学，如加州州立大学系统。这些大学不参与综合性大学排名，只参与地区级排名。也有职业教育为主、门槛很低的社区大学。社区大学以门槛低、学费低、专业多样为特色，学生在这儿可以拿到大专学位，然后在转到综合性大学。尤其是在加州， 70% 的加州大学系统的学生是从社区大学转过去的。所以，只要我们想去美国上大学，总有一个学校适合你。
2、本科留学美国就业有很大优势
美国大学重视基础教育，对学业要求很严格。美国教授对于布置的作业、小测验、期中考、期末考都有严格的规定，一旦错过截止日期，成绩可能就是零分。每一个学生必须要用非常认真的态度对待自己的学业。假如有学生放松，就有可能面临被劝退的风险。所以美国大学毕业生就业时有很强的竞争力。一个在美国大学经过四年打拼的学生，顺利拿到大学毕业证，他一定学术基础扎实，英语流利。同时，美国大学的教育方式让学生感受到学习态度和遵守规则是多么重要。
3、美国教育体制灵活，学生可以选择自己喜欢的专业
虽然综合性大学与文理学院的教育理念有所不同，但美国留学本科教育体制总体上差不多，只要同学们能够修完学分就可以申请毕业了。本科留学美国毕业需要几年取决于同学们修学分的速度。不过，同学们还需要明白一点，那就是一些美国本科学生在大一、大二的时候是不确定专业，只学习基础课程的。大三开始才修本专业的学分，一般也需要两年以上的时间才能修完本科毕业所需的学分。所以，一般来说，至少需要四年才能拿到美国留学本科毕业证。当然，和中国一样，美国大学的热门学校和热门专业一样需要竞争才能进，比如我们中国学生常说的金融、会计等商学院某些专业，还有计算机专业等，需要高的 GPA 才能进。同一个学院下，专业相对来说就比较好换。
4、美国转学非常方便
本科留学美国只要你足够优秀，而且想在学业上进步，你是可以进入更好的学校的，这就是我们常说的转学。只要你大一，或者大二的成绩足够优秀，你就可以转到更好的学校。比较典型的例子就是美国总统奥巴马。他一开始读本科是在西方学院，大三转到了哥伦比亚大学，法学院则进入了哈佛大学。我们每年都会帮助很多学生从 100 名之外的学校转到顶尖，当然从国内高校也可以转学到美国大学。
5、美国大学选拔体系相对比较灵活
美国大学招生需要看学生的硬性条件和软性材料两方面的成绩，而不像中国大学一考定终身，这样就给去美国读大学的孩子充足的准备时间，学生可以提前三到四年规划和准备。美国大学招生看重学生的高中各科成绩，而不是看总分，这就要求学生均衡发展，而不是偏科。去美国读大学虽然要求考托福和 SAT ，但允许孩子语言能力有一定的提高空间。此外，更重要的是，美国大学很看重学生学习之外的能力，如学生的领导力、毅力、社会责任感等。因为在提升这些能力的过程中，孩子们的各种能力都得到了提高。所以，能去美国读书的孩子一般都是智商和情商并重的学生。

Dear _,
Ever since childhood I have enjoyed working with my hands. Whether as an eight year- old gluing together a model car or an adolescent assembling a bookshelf in woodworking class, I thrived on the challenges of precise and meticulous tasks. Throughout high school I have been intrigued by the sciences, but it was not until I read about late-breaking discoveries and research in the field of genetics that my interests in science intensified. When I entered the University of British Columbia (UBC), I naturally chose to specialize in Cell Biology and Genetics.
In my sophomore year at UBC, I first began to seriously consider dentistry as a career. At that time, I began to appreciate the important role that dentistry played in my life. Four years earlier, I began an orthodontic treatment program with Dr. Junni Wang to correct a severe crowding problem with my teeth. Both before and during the treatment, I was a most reluctant participant; not many teenagers look forward to braces filling their mouth during their last two years of high school, and I was no different.
However, at every monthly check-up for three-and-a-half years the office staff had nothing but kind words of encouragement and optimism. Now after the completion of the treatment I had reason to smile. Dr. Wang helped turn me from a shy adolescent who feared smiling into a confident, outgoing young man. His skills not only brought back my smile, but also my sense of confidence in all aspects of my life. Whereas once I feared drawing attention to myself and thus shied away from leadership posts and debates, now I am a completely different person. Hoping to feel as satisfied and gratified as Dr. Wang must have felt in improving not only my smile but my entire way of life, I look forward to improving the oral health of patients on a daily basis and participating in dentistry’ s friendly, team-oriented work environment.
After this preliminary ‘ patient-doctor’ exposure to dentistry, I substantially increased my involvement in the field to determine if dentistry really was for me. My participation with the UBC Pre-Dental Society allowed me to communicate with various professionals in the field. I also investigated opportunities to volunteer in the University Dental Clinic or participate in research work. After speaking to a couple of professors in the UBC Faculty of Dentistry asking them about research opportunities, I found a topic that interested me. Dr. Putnins, of the Division of Periodontics, offered me a position in his lab to conduct a semi-quantitative analysis to determine the levels of endotoxin in dental unit water lines.
After taking many water samples from the University Dental Clinic and quantifying the amounts of endotoxin (lipopolysaccahride) in those samples with an Limulus Abeocyte Lysate test, I prepared to publish dentistry’ s first account of this type of experiment. I conducted the study over a 16-week span (Jan.-Apr.‘ 98), and the research work counted as 3.0 credits towards my undergraduate degree. Because the vast majority of my work was self-directed, I submitted my findings for evaluation by the faculty in a 32-page report with 46 references, and I also defended my methods before a panel of professors. Impressed by the findings and results, Dr. Putnins will use my study as a key component of a journal article he is currently preparing for the Journal of Dental Research (JDR). The school also submitted an abstract of my findings for presentation at the upcoming 77th General Session of the International Association of Dental Research (IDAR) to be held at Vancouver, Canada. I am keenly looking forward to this unique opportunity to have my work appear before distinguished members of the dental research community. My positive research experience definitely helped reinforce my goal of becoming a dentist.
In addition, my employment as a Canada Customs Inspector has helped me improve my level of social awareness and helped me develop qualities I can usefully apply to dentistry. As a Customs Inspector, I had the opportunity to communicate effectively with many different types of people in various situations. I have also developed the ability to resolve conflicts, defuse difficult situations, and show empathy even during cases of enforcement. In addition, my experience with team sports has provided me with leadership skills that can not be taught in any textbook. As the captain of my hockey team and the coach of a children’ s team, I have developed excellent communication skills and the ability to identify and work effectively with kids. All of these qualities will prove very important to my future career in dentistry.
Attracted by the dental profession’ s ability to positively impact people’ s lives, just like my orthodontist, and by the profession’ s financially rewarding and stable lifestyle, I look forward to one day opening my own practice and becoming a well-respected member of both the community of dentists and the community of patients. While my GPA may not be as high as some applicants’ , my academic record shows a consistent positive. I know I have the intelligence, ability, and determination to achieve success in dentistry; I only need the opportunity. My dental research experience combined with my academic background, personal qualities, and leadership abilities makes me well suited to accept the challenges in the field of dentistry. I look forward to an interview and the chance to discuss my qualifications in person.
Yours sincerely,

爱尔兰留学读本科申请文书范文【集锦】
爱尔兰留学读本科申请文书范文
Dear _,
The subjects of maths and physics have always fascinated me and I knew very early on that I wanted to pursue a career that involves science. As I progressed through school I found that I was much more interested in the application of the theory rather than the theory itself, and this is why I would like to study electronic engineering. I enjoy physics particularity as it can be observed in every aspect of life. From apples falling from trees to lightning, physics explains how the world works, and engineers throughout history have used their knowledge of physics to overcome problems that they face. The Romans built aqueducts to supply their cities with water; William Thomson helped lay the transatlantic telegraph cables that made communication between Europe and the Americas viable.
I also studied Advanced Higher Music last year at school. I am very interested in the use of electronics in music, and I wrote a project on the physics of the electric guitar. This interest prompted me to spend a week of work experience at Wolfson Microelectronics, a local company that engineer integrated circuits for many high profile audio equipment firms. During my stay I was assigned the task of designing and assembling a circuit to investigate the voltage offset and noise created by an operational amplifier. I was also introduced to a silicon microphone, a development which is sure to be significant in the future of electronics, and introduced to all the main stages in the development of a microchip, from design to failure analysis. My forthcoming Advanced Higher Physics investigation will be concerned with the properties of op-amps, the variables that affect these properties, and their applications.
In June, I attended a week-long Headstart course held at the University of Cambridge. We were given a task to assemble and programme a robot to navigate a course, using both dead-reckoning and sensors; I was part of the winning team. The course was thoroughly enjoyable and confirmed that engineering was the subject for me. I have applied to spend my gap year working in the engineering industry, through the Year in Industry scheme. I hope that I will gain invaluable experience of the industry in which I would like to build my career in, and this will no doubt help me understand better how what I learn at university relates to real-world applications.
I play the violin, guitar and bagpipes all to a high standard. I am a first violin in the main school orchestra and the chamber orchestra, lead guitar in the school Rhythm and Blues band and a senior member of the pipe band. I hold the rank of Corporal in my school cadet force, and I am a young leader at my Scout troop. Balancing these numerous extra-curricular activities with my academic work has forced me to develop my time management skills. My involvement in both cadets and Scouts has also greatly added to my team working and leadership skills. I was the leader of the team that won the Edinburgh Area Scout camping competition in 2005, and we finished in the top 5 in the country. Currently, I am working towards both my Duke of Edinburgh Gold award and my Queen's Scout award.
I also have a keen interest in computers, assembling my first at the age of twelve, and I am currently teaching myself Mandarin Chinese, something that I would like to continue studying throughout university and a skill that I believe will be very useful in the future, especially in the electronics industry. I keep up to date with the latest scientific news in by reading both Physics Review and New Scientist.
I believe that studying electronic engineering is the best way for me to apply my accumulated knowledge of maths and physics and I look forward to a career that will constantly present me with new challenges.
Yours sincerely,

必须提前至少一周时间通知校方安排寄宿家庭，有的学校在暑假期间要求提前二周通知。因爱尔兰与中国没有直接航班机，因而学生需经欧洲的大城市转机。伦敦是最经济的线路，但因需申请过境签证，心须到北京使馆面试，不值得劳神费力。法兰克富、巴黎、哥本哈根、阿姆斯特丹、布鲁塞尔等都可以成为前往爱尔兰的中转城市，而且无须申请过境签证。请将机票复印后传真至代理处。一般学生在出发前可以接到寄宿家庭地址、电话，以方便入境及家长与学生的联系。购票时请注意航班之间的衔接时间是否方便。
二、出发
外地学生提前一天到达北京，以免因意外发生延误登机。国际航班一般提前3小时到机场，提前2～2.5小时进行登机登记，起飞前1小时结束登记。如果你在起飞前1小时未到柜台前登记，航空公司有权将你的位子转让给其他乘客。学生到达机场后凭护照、机票在你的航线柜台前排队办理登机手续，同时托运行李。
三、行李
普通舱免费托运行李为30公斤，连带手提行李(1件)，总共不得超过38公斤。否则，超过部分须会罚款人50元/公斤(或18美元/公斤)。不可以将任何贵重物品或现金放在托运行李中，否则发生丢失航空公司不负责任。
四、登机
办好登机手续的学生凭护照、机票、登机牌办理出境手续(即通过边防登记)，之后通过安全检查，按登机牌上的指示，到指定登机口等候登机。登机后请按登机牌上的座位号坐好，将随身的行李放在头顶上面或前面座位下方。请不要大声喧哗，以免影响周围的乘客。起飞后，飞行期间会有饮料、酒水及午餐、晚餐供应。如果特殊需要，可按扶手旁边的按扭呼叫服务员。请不要带走飞机上任何物品，如耳机等，这些是飞机专用耳机，有可能毁坏你家中电器，因为功率非常大。
五、转机
有的航班在北京办理登机手续时已将下一段的登机牌换好，学生可根据登机牌上的指示找到登机口(GATE)，按登机时间登机。学生可在过境机场游览参观，购一些小纪念品，但切记在航班起飞前30分种到指定登机口等待登机。有的航线需要在中转机场等待通知，一般在飞机起飞前1小时可在电视屏幕上按航班号找到登机口和时间，请密切注意，中转机场没有登机广播。如果有疑问可持机票或登机牌向机场工作人员求助。
六、入境
飞机到爱尔兰后需填写入境卡，将护照一并交给入境官。中国学生需在非欧盟(NONEU)通道排队入境。入境后一般同学校或寄宿家庭在机场大厅等候，认清人名后，随家长回家，沐浴后休息，第二天早上到学校进行分班测试，开始留学生活。
