Letters of recommendation are a very important part of the applicationprocess. As colleges become more and more sought out from the increasing numberof applicants each year, the need to stand out from the competition is alsoincreasing. Below we will provide helpful information on how to write a collegerecommendation as well as advice for tailoring each letter.
A high school transcript can help tell an admissions office a lot about acandidate, but a college recommendation letter provides an opportunity for themto see the whole person. While recommendation letters are never a bad idea toinclude in the application, even if the college does not require one, manycolleges do necessitate the inclusion of one. Here is some advice to keep inmind when writing a college recommendation letter:
Know the candidate - it may sound obvious, but it is important that youknow the candidate well. After all, how can you write a college recommendationletter for a someone you know little about? Recommendations written forcandidates with a vague familiarity are often identifiable and can do more harmthan good.
How you know the candidate - when you write a college recommendationletter, make sure to include how you know the candidate as well as the length oftime you have known that person.
Provide relevant information - be sure to find out the purpose of therecommendation so as to provide relevant information about the candidate and hisor her specific qualifications. If the recommendation is to supplement anapplication, discuss how that person is an appropriate candidate for the collegehe or she is applying to. Despite its purpose, however, the overall goal of acollege recommendation letter is to attest to the capabilities and character ofthe candidate.
Obtain a rsum - another tip on how to write a collage recommendation letteris to first obtain the student's rsum with a listing of his or her GPA,activities, awards, leadership roles, community service, employment experienceand special skills. The more information you have about a particular candidate,the more constructive your recommendation can be.
Personalize the letter - to help make the letter more personal, beforewriting a college recommendation letter, it is important to determine the personto whom the letter should be addressed. If the student is unaware of the name,the letter may begin "Dear Selection Committee."
Proofread the letter - one of the most important tips on how to write acollege recommendation letter is making sure to proofread it when finished. Aletter containing grammatical errors will appear unprofessional and may leave anegative impression.
Mailing the letter - establish with the student whether the recommendationletter must be mailed in an official envelope from your institution, or if itcan be included with the application. If it is to accompany the application,return the letter to the candidate in a sealed envelope.
Determine the deadline - double-check with the student as to the deadlineof the college recommendation letter. Ideally, you will be given an adequateamount of time to complete a positive, detailed letter, however, the mostimportant detail is that it is received before the application deadline.
Save the letter - when you have finished writing a recommendation, be sureto save it in order to help make writing the next college recommendation lettereasier. The student will likely be applying to more than one school and may askthat you write a separate recommendation for each one. Although it is importantthat each letter is tailored to the application at hand, select information canbe recycled for multiple letters. It is more convenient to tailor the originalpassage than to repetitively recollect the advice on how to write a collegerecommendation.
What Colleges Really Want
Colleges place a large emphasis on a student's academic ability becausewhat is accomplished in high school is the strongest predictor of their academicsuccess in college. What colleges really want, however, is a win-win want to admit students who will thrive at their institution, not only forthe student's benefit, but for their own as well. As more and more studentsbecome college-bound, colleges and universities will become increasinglyselective, placing more emphasis on the ability to know how to write a collegerecommendation letter.
As a teacher, counselor, employer or personal acquaintance of acollege-bound teen, you may at some point receive a request for help in writinga college recommendation letter. These students are not only placing their trustin you, they are putting you in the unique position to make an impact on whetheror not they are admitted to their college of choice. Following this advice onhow to write a college recommendation will help to ensure a professional letterand give your candidate a greater likelihood of being accepted into his or hercollege of choice.

Si c'est possible， pourriez-vous me faire parvenir， à l'adresse ci-dessus， undossier d'inscription ?
Vous remerciant par avance de votre bienveillance， je vous prie d'agréer，Monsieur le Président， l'expression de mon profond respect.
Dear _,
As a 28-year-old female, there has been nothing sensational about my pasteducation and career experience. I do not feel any regret because I have alwaysbeen making worthy efforts to achieve personal development and to enrich my lifein my own way. Helen Keller serves as a paragon that I will emulate in my entirelifetime. The beautiful things that she brought to the world with her lovingheart and her strength convince me that the power of the spiritual motivation isinfinite. An individual lives a meaningful live only to the extent of benefitingthe welfare of others. Both my education and my five-year work experience haveunmistakably made me believe that economics is a science whose ultimate functionis the improvement of human welfare. The motivation behind my currentapplication for a Master’s program in economics is to pursue a more fruitfulcareer development in the future so that the process of my self-actualizationwill also be a process of making contributions to others.
My education background makes me an appropriate candidate for your education consists of two stages. From 1993 to 1995 I received a juniorcollege education from the Business School of _ University, majoring inmarketing. Then I proceeded onto an undergraduate program in the Department ofBusiness Administration of _ University, waived of entrance examination becauseof my distinguished academic performance at the junior college (ranking topsecond among 31 students in the class). During my undergraduate program, Icontinue to maintain a satisfactory academic performance, ranking top ten amonga total of 51 students. Completing my undergraduate program in 1998, I obtaineda Bachelor’s degree in economics.
Through my undergraduate program, I gained an increasingly deepunderstanding of the importance of economics. As far as I am concerned,economics is by no means an abstract discipline. It is closely connected withreality and is designed to explore and explain diverse economic phenomena andeconomic laws. For the foreseeable future, the conflict between the scarcity ofnatural resources and the infinitude of human demand will continue to persist,posing a long-lasting threat to the social development of all nations. Thenecessity to seek a solution to this conflict gave birth to Economics, whichpromises to maximize material wealth through an optimum allocation of use of my diligent efforts at coursework and my strong interest ineconomics, I managed to achieve a top-10 ranking in my class，winning the honorof Outstanding Student and a second-class scholarship. I familiarized myselfwith most classic works on economics and management, including Principles ofManagement by Harold Koontz, Economics by Samuelson, Competition Strategy byPorter and Wealth of Nations by Adam Smiths, etc. From the very beginning of myeconomics study, I have tried to expose myself to western perspectives.
Starting from the premise that economics will be lifeless unless it isapplied to the problems in the real world, I paid special attention in myundergraduate program to the combination of theory and practice as a way oflearning and applying my knowledge of economics. I once spent a whole summervacation on conducting a survey of the fast food business in _ City. I sampled15 fast food restaurants, carried out interviews with restaurant owners and thecustomers. I applied quantitative analysis to my statistics and proposedconcrete measures for developing the city’s fast food industry through improvingmanagement, business environment, food variety and service quality.
My research ability was improved through writing my thesis –The Protectionand the Development of China’s National Industry in the Age of Reform andOpening Up. The thesis focuses on China’s joining of WTO and its possiblenegative impact on the growth of national industry. My conclusion is that acareful balance must be struck between the protection of national industry andthe introduction of foreign capital. The thesis was rated “Excellent” for itscomprehensive theoretical formulation, detailed statistics and creativeperspectives.
Yours sincerely,
i am writing to express my full support for xiao xiao, who is applying tograduate school at [name of school]. though i am currently a visiting scholar atthe university of california, san diego, i was xiao's supervisor at the vvvuniversity school of architecture and civil engineering. in my [number] years inacademia, xiao stands out as one of the best students i've encountered.
as the professor in charge of vvv's student union, i spent several yearssupervising and working closely with pan, who served as the union's chairpersonand monitor. pan's work included managing the routine affairs of his class of 76students and planning many student activities. consequently, through our closecontact, i gained a thorough understanding of and respect for pan's character,his strong organizational skills, and his leadership ability. for example, infall 1997, xiao organized an evening party for incoming freshmen. i stillvividly remember the party's resounding success, as well as pan's unswervingattention to details.
dedication and passion are hallmarks of pan's character. although the workhe did as a student leader was time-consuming and tiring, he never simply embraced his responsibilities, and enjoyed the tasks at hand. studentsacknowledged his devotion to his classmates repeatedly: for four years in a row,the student body elected him monitor and chairperson. xiao felt great warmth notonly for his classmates, but also for society at large.

尊敬的_領導、老師們：
有目標的人生才是有意義的人生，一個人若沒有目標，就如同迷失了方向的船隻，隨波逐流，永遠沒有溫馨的港灣。我的目標，就是求新務實地創造，以成果回報社會，以人格魅力影響世界!而我最嚮往的_大學，也將成為我生活的契機。
王國維曾提到人生的三個境界，我的過去就是“昨夜西鳳凋碧樹，獨上高樓，望盡天涯路”。因為一直都是非常優秀的學生，因此對自己的要求也很嚴格。記得那是國小五年級的期末測試，不知是換了考場，還是題目的角度難度不合我的口味，我一向引以為豪的數學在那次考試中只有區區80分。老師們不好嚴厲地批評我，畢竟我平時的專注有目共睹;父母卻是非常失望地將我“軟禁”起來，不能出門，不能碰電腦，甚至於“新聞聯播”都成為禁忌。
我後悔自己太不認真，但是這又有什麼用呢?!在被關在家的時間裡，我就把那張試卷翻來覆去地看，我看錯的題目，重新做它們，繼續尋求更快更好的解法。這種開拓初次嘗試是很累的，阿拉伯數字圍成緊箍咒，向我的頭上套去。
直到進入國中才逐漸意識到這就是所謂的“正確學習方法”，才瞭解“不認真”是過於籠統的概念。其實在不知不覺中，無論誰都會進步，譬如我並沒有刻意去琢磨那些錯題，而錯題於我就像是甘甜的乳汁，有著汲取不盡的養分。後來當聽到有人評價我認真、仔細、“肯鑽”、“坐得住”時，我並沒有多大的感覺。靜下心進而回顧，已經在長年累月中成為習慣，歲月的流逝雖會將鋒芒磨盡，但遺留下來的卻是至寶。
而“衣帶漸寬終不悔，為伊消得人憔悴”堪稱現在生活的映照了。每天往返於學校家庭間，尤其是進入高三，重複單調的生活讓人產生厭倦。可是我明白我所要追求的是什麼，我為“伊”而憔悴，但卻“終不悔”。這是希望的作用：當我看見新的藥物治療病人、新的材料用於生活、新的裝置提高產率，看到人民的生活美好，我就會感到由衷的喜悅，這也就成為支援我繼續奮鬥的力量。
我看小說，我看其中所反映的社會現象，或者作者所要表達的美好願望;我看動漫，我看其中所展現的美好人性，或者享受作品本身帶給我精神的放鬆。我把我的感受寫進部落格，我為自己創造發洩的條件，於是有人評價我冷靜、客觀、“有思想”，於是有人說我趕得上潮流，有創新意識。其實這些都是一家之言，自己怎麼樣，只有自己最清楚。
我曾不太善交際，從而一度將“寂寞讓我如此美麗”奉為經典。但是看到同學回家都有伴兒，遇到困難都可以向死黨尋求幫助，我便也感到孤單與落寞。可是社會畢竟是自己的社會，個體的生存幾乎都是靠個體的力量，沒有誰會一直陪同自己走下去：父母會先於自己逝去，配偶則必須在成人後在“對的時間”遇到，朋友更不可能如影隨形。我意識到了，也就盡力讓自己融入生活圈，竟發現其實一切很簡單，需要的只是善意、友好和坦誠。
我在高中遇到很多天資聰穎的人，在感嘆的同時也逐漸發現其實“上帝在厚重的牆上開了一扇小窗”。“窮則獨善其身，達則兼濟天下”，雖然現在是一個人，但也必須從完善自我做起。在“修行”的途中所感受到的靈魂的昇華是愚鈍的我無法用筆描述的。我嫉妒過競賽優異的人，並且在得知胸有成竹的化學競賽落榜時也難過得無法入眠。但等到冷靜下來細細分析，其實自身還有非常多的漏洞：氣氛緊張時容易先入為主，遇到困難“腎上腺素分泌會急劇增多”從而影響思維。我努力克服它們，並且見賢思齊。
當然如果進入_大學，那裡將肯定是我展示自己的平臺了。在理想的指引下，我將繼續秉持高中以來優良的學習習慣和方法，繼續貫徹全面發展，努力在各方面都讓自己滿意;在生活上也必須更加照顧自己了，雖然現在也是一人，但遠在他鄉，當圓月嵌入蒼穹時也會不免引起鄉思吧。未來的生活有許許多多的變數，可以是充滿激情，也可以是頹唐無奈，生活會有非常多的誘惑，但是我必須堅守住心靈的淨土：無論怎麼改變，我所追求的理想不變!我希望為科學研究竭盡心力，我希望為國民思想精神的昇華奮鬥終身!不僅僅是大學，進入社會、開始工作，無論怎麼改變，必將始終為了崇高的事業奮鬥，向著理想賓士!我相信在未來的某一天，當我“驀然回首”時，我的夢想，已經在“燈火闌珊處”。這也應該是我人生的最後一個境界了。
我享受挑戰，勇於嘗試沒有把握的事，我知道絢爛的未來需要靠自己創造。我一直幻想自己是名英武的騎士，駕著名駒，在廣袤的歷史田野中，向著理想賓士!

尊敬的X大學老師領導：
您好!首先感謝您能在百忙之中抽出時間審視我的申請材料!
我是X市高階中學理科實驗班的X，和其他的同胞或者說是競爭者們一樣，我也但願通過貴校的自主招生來實現我一直以來的夢想考入X大學。
在眾多高校中，唯有X大學深深吸引了我，而且我也聽到X的學長說，X非常適合那些“有想法主意”的人，只要你有想法主意，X都會盡全力幫你實現，我覺得我就是那種有想法主意、有立異意識的人，這也使我更加堅定了“將來一定要到X讀書”的決心。憑藉著十幾年如一日的努力，我的成績一直名列前茅，會考更是以全市第二十八的成績考入鐵嶺市重點高中理科實驗班。到了高中，我並沒有驕傲，而是更加努力的學習，成績也有了進一步的奔騰，每次考試成績均不亂在年級前十名，施展好時還會進入前五名，我堅信自己是有資格進入X大學的。
相信在此之前，您已經閱讀過了無數的自薦信，對省、市三好學生，校學生會主席，團支部書記等也已經見怪不怪了。很可惜，這些刺眼的榮譽和職位我都沒有，我有的是對X全面的瞭解，有的是對X始終如一的熱愛與嚮往，有的是“非X不去”的勇氣與決心。更重要的是，我有著老實、量力而行的品質，我不會為了得到您的青睞而強調事實，虛張聲勢，而且我覺得一個人的領導能力、組織能力、交際能力和協調能力並不是只有靠這些職位才能體現出來的，究竟校學生會主席只有一個，但具有多地方能力的高中生遠不止這些。
做事堅決，善於籌劃是我的另一長處。說到籌劃，我對自己的未來也已經做好了初步的打算：近年來，跟著中國經濟的起飛，汽車已經走入了平常庶民家。因為汽車產業的提高，這地方精英的需求量也在隨之增長。這對從小酷愛汽車，7歲就能識別數十種車標的我，無疑是一種巨大的激勵，我也勵志將來要進入一家汽車企業，介入設計製造一部機能優異，而且安全節能的汽車。據我所知，現今中國汽車在發念頭的節油耐用，不亂機能上仍有一定的進步空間，而伴跟著油價的提高，增壓直噴等技術也已走下神壇，進入乘用領域。在車身結構地方，人們對於安全恬靜的追求是無止境的，所以有了碰撞吸能設計，有了更優秀的懸架，有了鋁材，甚至碳纖維的應用。我願把我全部的精力都投入到這些領域中，讓中國的汽車有朝一日也能展示在世界的大舞臺上。這一切看似虛幻的夢想，一旦進入X，就都很有可能變為現實。

pplied Program：Organizational Behavior
I am interested in the field of study of Organizational Behavior. In thepast， I have had the experience of working in settings where the people and thecorporate cultures of the companies were all different. I have found that thereis a great difference in the both the behaviors of people and of theirorganizations， depending on whether they are state-owned enterprises (SOEs)，large multinational firms， or small to medium sized foreign enterprises. Onesimple example is that of the ability of an employee to act independentlywithout direct instructions from his or her boss. In many Chinese organizations，acting without direct instructions is considered a form of disrespect towardsthe supervisor， who is generally offended by such behavior. In my experience andresearch， such organizations tend to have low operating efficiency with theemployees losing their innate ability to take the initiative.
In contrast， foreign enterprises tend to welcome employees who have theability to make decisions on their own， though the extent to which this is truedepends on whether the supervisor is a local Chinese or an expatriate. Theseorganizat Applied Program：Organizational Behavior
The purpose behind this personal statement is to not only gain admission toyour well-established and highly respected Ph.D. program， but to impress uponyou my passion for learning and my tremendous desire to succeed in bothscholastic research and in teaching on the professional level. I have based mydecision to pursue an academic career not on purely practical reasons， butrather on my own natural interests and aptitude. My personal philosophy is thatmoney and social status should not be pursued as life-consuming objectives andthat in actuality they are the by-products of goals originating from one's innerneeds. I understand that my intellectual capacity is a gift， and I intend to usethis gift to the very best of my substantial capabilities.
Dear Sir,
I am going to graduate from Department of Computer in Huabei University inJune next year. I am very eager to enter the Graduate School of your universitynext fall to study applied computer for Ph.D. degree.
I would appreciate it very much if you would send me a graduate catalog ofyour university and any other necessary information, and also a set ofapplication forms for admission. Thank you for your kind assistance.

您好!
我叫___，是___中學中學___學生。我與_緣起於幼年時讀過的《荷塘月色》，蒼茫的月光靜靜地瀉落，田田的荷葉亭亭的立著，如同夢境般的美好景色給我留下了深刻的印象,從此，古樸典雅、文化底蘊豐厚的_就紮根於我心中，成為我魂牽夢繞的聖地。
_重視的是全面發展的人才，所以在平時各科的學習中，我都穩紮穩打，表現出色，在歷次考試中都名列前茅。
競賽方面：在20__年第__屆全國生物中學生生物學奧林匹克聯賽中獲陝西賽區一等獎並代表陝西參加國家決賽獲得銀獎，在20__全國聯賽中獲陝西賽區數學一等獎和化學二等獎。在這裡我想談談暑假參加全國生物競賽的經歷。來到武漢二中，我以自己的微笑與親和力結識了來自全國各地的朋友，談天說地，共話理想;我懂得了山外青山樓外樓，與全國的精英相比，我還有很多的地方需要改進;我學會了就算遇到挫折也永不言敗，調整心態迎接下一個挑戰才更重要……這一切，都是讓我畢生難忘的寶貴經歷，也讓我更深刻的理解了_“自強不息”的校訓。
愛好廣泛：我雖然是一個理科生，卻對歷史人文知識等很感興趣，閒暇時喜歡看看“百家講壇”，看電視上的國學知識競賽，有意提升自己的綜合素養。我幼時曾習國畫，我喜歡在生宣上信筆潑墨，喜歡那份“山水橫拖千里外”的悠遠超然;我也學過古箏，我喜歡在那二十一弦琴上鉤託抹挑，喜歡《高山流水》的相逢恨晚，喜歡《春江花月夜》的婉約憂傷;國中時，我去學習跆拳道，我喜歡聽雙腿破空而出凌風而過踢中腳靶的清脆聲響，也將跆拳道精神——禮義廉恥，忍耐克己，百折不屈——牢牢地銘刻在心，並且踐行。
我的理想：我從小就很喜歡看各式各樣的建築，阿布?辛博神廟每個太陽日的第一縷曙光，巴黎聖母院高聳的尖頂，悉尼歌劇院的風帆造型，都讓我深深著迷。我希望能成為_建築系的一員，形成自己獨特的建築風格，從而實現我的終極夢想——參與未來世博會上中國館的設計，讓世界看到中國的風采!
我很喜歡泰戈爾的那一句詩：“天空不留下鳥的痕跡，但我已飛過。”為了我的夢想——_，我已經厚積了多年的力量，等待薄發的那一刻。不論結果如何，至少我曾經為自己的夢想努力過，為自己的人生拼搏過，那麼我就永不後悔。或許當我蒼顏白髮時想起這段時期的經歷，我也會為自己當初的堅持，為年少時的那份破釜沉舟的決心，而微微一笑。
“長風破浪會有時，直掛雲帆濟滄海。”_園，等著我!

Born in Beijing, China’s political capital, cultural center and economichub, and nurtured in a well-cultured family and an empowering community, I havedeveloped a meaningful outlook on lie. I identify myself with such values thatone gives meaning to life when one lives to give. Success stories of my parents, relatives and friends along their career-path have entrenched my belief inbeing independent and confident as a contributing memeber of the community.
As I look back on early days of my schooling , I am just as grateful to myworking parents for having sent me to one of the best boarding schools inBeijing where I received quality primary education and learned to appreciateindependence. As I recall , being independent was probably the biggest asset Igained as a teenager with the absence of parental guardianship for most of those6 years. After I upgraded to secondary school, I offered to go to school bybike. Though hesitant at first, my parents gave their well-thought-out consentto the 15-km ride average Chinese parents would simply veto in the first placegiven the “one-child policy”and subsequent “little emperors” pampered by parentsand grandparents. Thankfully, that day-to-day routine bike trip,rain orsunshine,tempered my strong character. I have been holding myself to higheststandards, academically and physically from primary school days through tocollege life. I have grown up all these years amongst top cohorts and have beenexposed to varied horizons and dimensions of school life in and outside ofclassroom. I am perfectly healthy and stong with a sharp mind and demonstratedcommitment to teamwork. I was handpicked to play for school baseball team when Iwas in primary school. Back then, my proven leadership and excellent skills inthe field assured my coach that I was born to be a team leader. And I didjustice to his well-timed appointment by heading a team of Beijing to compete inShanghai and Hong Kong several times. And the strong track record of outoutstanding performances each time still fills me with pride and excitementtoday. During one match tour to Hong Kong in the 1990s, I was immediatel exposedto the enviable luxury and prosperity of the city,the dynamic economic center ofAsia. That trip awakened me ,for the first time, to the value of wealth andfinance. And it was that very journey to the thriving metropolis that shaped myambition to be a financer.
Years later,when the colleg entrance exam came,that moment of life anddeath for most of senior high school students in China,my top preference wasFinance Colllege of Beijing Technology and Business Unversity. The result cameas a sad surprise as I was admitted to Computer Science College instead. But Istuck with my dream major and decided to minor in finance. I have since workedhard to equip myself with systematic knowledge of finance. As a result , I amdnow well on my way to graduation with double degrees in both computer scienceand finance in 20__.
During my college days,I led my cohorts in starting up a micro company as Idabbled into the real business world. We settled for newspaper as our maidenattempt.. As a new horn,I took a hands-on approach, from editing to circulating,from cost control to market survey. My strong leadership and sunergy of theentire team kept this mini organization going pretty well in its infancy. Yetinexperience in operation and cost management led to a failed business in theend. But I saw the silver lining in the failed venture. I now know more aboutwhere I need to work on. When I was a little boy, my parents taught me how tomanage money in the safest way. They helped me put my pocket money in the bankand get interest as a return. Now, as a grown-up already,I recognize thatsystematic learning and book knowledge can truely help me know how much moreabout what finance is all about. Naturally, as one’s knowledge about swimmingincreases, the desire to swim in the sea grows. Yet, with more academicexposure, I have come to realize how I am ill-equipped with the knowledge neededto stay afloat in the trubulent sea of finance. That self-conscious humblenessversus the profundiy of finance as a much-respected discipline has led me to optfor further study in the US,home to a number of world-class colleges offinance.
After meticulous comparision and cross-checking, I have settled for ClarkUniversity,the birthplace of the first-ever graduate school in the US. I trustthat demanding academic standards here and ,best of all ,great mastermind offinance that Clark can offer will undoubtedly broaden my horizon and update myvision as financier of the future. To me,Clark is the best and right place thatcan surely make the difference, academically and professionally alike. I am morethan anxious to embrace those best minds in Clark and contribute my humble partto its huge wealth of knowledge and innovative ideas. I am therefore very muchlooking forward to a positive reply from Clark, my dream campus. May that offercome just in time for my journey towards a rewading learning experience in oneof the greatest colleges in the US.

尊敬的_大學老師：
您好!
"韶華不為少年留，勤為天道酬。"正如高三的教室後牆上我所想出的勵志名言一般，它時刻激勵著班上的同學與我。我，封恬恬，湖南省衡陽市八中高三的一名學生，就讀文科，是平凡的，因為是一個同所有人一樣的矛盾融合體;但又堅信自己是不同的，是因為我將成為發光體。金子，到哪裡都會發光，而我選擇的是貴校這樣一座鍊金爐。
河，孕育文明;海，凝聚智慧。我願像河般，為夢想奔騰向前永不止息;像海般容納百川，有容乃大。"上善若水。水善利萬物而不爭，處眾人之所惡，故幾於道。居善地，心善淵，與善仁，言善信，正善治，事善能，動善時。夫唯不爭，故無尤。"善的最高境界，大致在於此乎。像水般，往低處流，卻能容納百川;而在人生的攀登中，往高處走時，當不勝寒時，不忘想想水的謙虛，以一種包容一切的姿態，以柔化剛，接受萬物的俯視與臣服，這種"柔德"，使我自己的心境變得平和，要像水那樣，無形勝有形，不斷地改變，塑造自己，臻於完美。
寵辱不驚，閒看庭前花開花落;去留無意，漫隨天外雲捲雲舒的同時，我本著湖湘學派"經世致用"的原則，志當存高遠。如果說周總理是"為中華之崛起而讀書"，那我便願為"中國之強盛而讀書"。學無止境，人生本是一個不斷學習的過程。在六年的學習委員一職的任職過程中，除了學習課本知識，我的右手可以寫出一手漂亮的毛筆。因為正，一筆一劃地寫，心才會正。我的左手，能彈出美妙的小提琴樂章，這不僅開發了我的右腦，音樂更使我思維敏捷。那些曼妙的音符，不僅是人類對上帝的提問，更是與大自然的交流。讓狂躁的心，不知不覺間安靜下來。
人生的旅途中，讀書萬卷：安徒生童話到世界名著。我醉心於寶黛間的痴纏;徜徉於《傲慢與偏見》裡伊麗莎白奇妙的心海中;感嘆於李白"我輩豈是蓬蒿人"的豪邁;與杜甫"安得廣廈千萬間，大庇天下寒士俱歡顏"一起憂國憂民;與易安居士一起看"雨疏風驟，綠肥紅瘦"。在文的海洋中，我願成那一滴水，一尾魚，在海洋心中，見證著它的悲喜。於是在歷史的不平中，我亦詩嘆曰：陳王夢還金鏤枕，鳳皇遺恨正阿房，才佳長恨無歸處，冷露成淚暗遺香。
我同樣願行萬里路，沿途的風景，豐盈著自己的人生，懂得取與舍，讓人生的閱歷更加豐富。曾到過南京，河畔槳聲燈影，媛娮笑晏晏，六朝舊事已隨流水，而這座古都卻有太多歷史無法忘記的東西：革命先行者孫文先生之陵……流連於河海大學門前，不由駐足，希望自己能成為"歸人"，而不是"過客"。我這樣的遊子，在閱過17年風景後，選擇了河海大學作為圓夢的地方。
我喜歡奔跑的感覺，起跑線比重點更加美好，體味那為理想拼搏的過程。十年磨一劍，劍出鞘，一鳴驚人，直指河海。
我，靜如處子，或動如脫兔，願意跟書本這樣高尚的朋友對話。書山有路勤為徑，運用正確的學習方法，在無涯的學海中"直掛雲帆濟滄海"，正確地駕駛著學習之舟，雖然途中有風浪，但堅持駛向目的地--河海之灣。我，崇尚獨立，常獨立思考探尋人生真諦，遇事冷靜自若，卻又讓理性成為我織夢的梭，讓勤奮成為我築夢的橋。理智與熱情，誠信與好學，成為划向河海的槳，只為到那裡，為自己編織另一個夢，解決南方家鄉旱澇災害頻繁的問題，造福家鄉、祖國人民。在見證河灣輝煌的同時，與河海一起創造下一個輝煌。
我願逆風行舟，駛向河海，利用水，造福人民。
我願逆風，只為尋河海一夢。

敬禮!

Dear _,
My name is Lin Hao, from Northeast China---Heilongjiang Province. Thelong-term and cold climate has allowed me to develop a tough and tenaciouscharacter in the course of my life. In 20 years, I was admitted to China withexcellent results. Jilin University, a prestigious university, is currentlystudying for a bachelor's degree in economics majoring in internationaleconomics and trade, and a second degree in futures investment and managementmajor in the same period. My university is a comprehensive university with avery complete range of disciplines. My university life has not only enabled meto develop a comprehensive and three-dimensional development in learning methodsand professional knowledge, but more importantly, it has improved my ability tointegrate knowledge of various disciplines. At the same time, it greatlyincreased my desire for knowledge. Therefore, I decided to study in the UK aftergraduation. Through understanding, I currently hope to apply for a__University__ major.
Family is very important to everyone, because it is the first classroom forus to receive education. My grandfather was a banker, my father was abusinessman, and my mother was a statistician. Their words and deeds to meplayed an extremely important role in the establishment and development of myoutlook on life and values, and also helped me. Established an honest,hardworking, and never-say-fail character. So influenced by them, I am veryinterested in finance disciplines. My family is the most important asset in mylife. It gives me the interest in learning this subject and the character ofgoing forward courageously.
Through the learning of professional knowledge, I have developed a stronginterest in economics and finance. I read "Life Economics" by Dr. DavidFriedman. In the book, he used easy-to-understand cases. Combining the mistyprinciples of economics with people’s ordinary life has enabled me to master theeconomic principles that most people find boring, and the learning methods inreal life. At the same time, I have a good understanding of Fried Dr. Mandeveloped a feeling of worship. In the same year, I read his masterpiece "PriceTheory" again. Through the study of this book, I became obsessed with knowledgeof currency and finance. Due to the strong desire for knowledge, I started tominor in the second degree "Futures Investment and Management". During thisperiod, I met a mentor, Professor Lu, a very famous scholar in China's futuresindustry. Professor Lu combines the theory and practice of the futures market,and combines the true meaning of life with the operation of the futures market,which is regarded as a "casino" by outsiders, and teaches us the knowledge ofthe futures market and economic investment. This teaching method is in line withmy learning habits, so I quickly entered the state. We often discuss thedevelopment of China’s futures industry and the price fluctuations of the worldfutures market together. In the autumn of 20__, I was invited to assist him incompleting the "China Financial Futures" Research work on the "Enlightenment ofthe Japanese Yen Development Route to the Development of China's Renminbi" inthe "Market Establishment" project. Because of his outstanding performance, hewon the appreciation of Professor Lu.
In addition to studying professional knowledge, in my spare time, I alsoestablished the first leukemia volunteer organization in Jilin Province andserved as the chairman. Helped 10 children with leukemia from poor families inthe form of voluntary activities. Every year, they held lectures on leukemiaknowledge at Jilin University, as well as volunteer registration activities forthe Chinese bone marrow bank (Chinese hematopoietic stem cell bank), and bloodsample extraction activities. In the past three years, the association has beenUnder my leadership, we have made considerable progress and achieved outstandingresults. Many media have reported on our activities. On the website of _社 onOctober 25, 20_, we also reported on our activities. In addition, my deeds werealso reported to the famous Chinese student magazine "East, West, South, Northand University Students" Issue 03 of the year 20_. These honors fully prove theaffirmation of my work by the society and the school. Now, one of every 150volunteers in the Chinese bone marrow bank is developed by my association. Theassociation has also been awarded the title of Jilin University BoutiqueAssociation for three consecutive years. I was also named the first "Moving JiUniversity" of Jilin University. The title of top ten college students, and atthe same time, through the establishment of a volunteer association, not onlyenabled me to realize the value of life, but also exercised my organizationalskills, which greatly improved my personal quality. In addition, I also likesports very much. I am good at sprinting, football, etc. Young, I should be fullof vitality.
In the summer of 20_, as a student representative of Jilin University, Ivisited a famous university. As a Chinese representative, I participated in morethan ten student exchange activities, and as a cultural messenger, I spreadChinese traditions and modern culture to the students, and through the visit, Ilearned some culture and visited their education system. In the process, I wasdeeply moved by the university's advanced teaching mode and strong scientificresearch capabilities. Compared with my own school, although we have developedrapidly, there is still a gap between the world's top education. This feelinginspired my enthusiasm for learning. After returning to my country, I decided touse my own strength to make my own contribution to the development of mymotherland. This is also an important reason why I applied to your school,because as a The responsibility of the Chinese is to use the advanced knowledgeI learned overseas to build my motherland.
"Practice, firm, and hardworking" is the fine tradition I inherited, and itis also my life creed. Facing the imminent graduation from university, a strongthirst for knowledge and a passion for professional knowledge, I decided tocontinue my professional study and accept the rigorous teaching, cutting-edgeresearch and new ways of thinking in the university, so as to enrich myself andrealize myself I also hope that I can become the messenger of the culture of thetwo countries. Thank you for your attention and look forward to your reply!
Yours sincerely,
Dear _,
On November 9, 20__, I took my GRE Subject (BIOLOGY) test. Although I it isbeyond me to report the exact number of the participants in this specific testthe world over, the score I achieved indicated to me that I was above 98%, andaccording to the analysis by my classmates, this might be the highest score thatChinese students have ever achieved. While I was aware that the importance ofany test score as an indicator of one’s scholastic aptitudes should never beover-exaggerated, the result still gave me a tremendous sense of self-pride andself-achievement. I believe that I achieved such a high score not through merecoincidence. Instead, it is the result of my long-time love for and dedicatedefforts at biology. With an implicit faith in my knowledge of biology and in mypotential to continue to excel others, I here solemnly file this document in anattempt to apply for admission into your esteemed university for a Master’sprogram in pharmacology.
I am confident in my qualifications as a competitive applicant for yourhighly respected program, partially because of my unusual interest inpharmacology. As a bridge across medical science and pharmacy, pharmacologyplays a vital role in the research on the ways to resist diseases. Theexploration and the subsequent elaboration on the mechanism of therapeuticfunctioning of drugs is a necessary step in the development and application ofdrugs to overcome diseases. Faced with this academic discipline that isinextricably connected with human life and human welfare, I have always beenfascinated by this subject, bent on making my own contributions to theimprovement of the quality of human life. Every time I learn about new theories,approaches and developments in biology and pharmacology, I cannot help feelingexcited. Each setback I encounter or each success I achieve in my experimentswould motivate me to persist and continue. It is this fascination with biologyand pharmacology that stands behind my dedicated studies and research in thosesubjects.
The 4-year comprehensive and systematic study and training in the specialtyof pharmacy guaranteed my successful completion of my undergraduate program atthe College of Medicine of _ University, the best medical institute in an academic environmental famous for its rigorousness, I established a solidfoundation in such diverse fields as biology, chemistry, biochemistry,pharmacology, pathology, physiology, and cell biology. As I approached mystudies primarily from a problem-oriented manner, devoting much more energy tolabwork than to coursework in order to satisfy my curiosity for solvingpractical problems, my overall GPA is somehow affected, slightly lower than whatI would have desired. In my case, GPA, which is purely based on exam scores,does not account much. In retrospect, I have been more concerned with developingmy hands-on abilities and on developing an extensive knowledge rather than onintensive test-oriented knowledge. Nevertheless, compared with other students, Iam sure that I excel them in terms of experimental skills and the ken ofknowledge and, for an undergraduate, a good foundation supported bycomprehensive specialized knowledge and strong hands-on abilities are mostimportant for more intensive studies in the future.
I have every reason to believe that my excellent experimental skills andresearch experience will qualify me to be a helpful research assistant to myfuture supervisor and to make important research achievements. Even when I was afreshman, I started to work as a research assistant in the laboratory. Over thepast four years, I have commanded most of the basic skills necessary forundertaking lab research, such as operations on animals, cell culture,electrophoresis experiments, etc. By far, my most important research experiencecame from undertaking my graduation project, which exemplified an overall testof experimental techniques. I chose to focus on the Effect of Ye3 on the CellApoptosis. The reason for choosing this subject of research is that the study ofcell apoptosis has a crucial importance in the treatment of cancer and inmaintaining the immunity of those suffering from AIDS. On the premise that rareearth ions are considered capable of entering cells, I decided that my projectwould concentrate on rare earth ions and their effects on cell nucleus. Withextensive experiments, I discovered that, under different circumstances, rareearth ions would produce totally different behavior toward cell apoptosis. Whenthe concentration of rare earth ions is below a certain ultimate limit, thefunction of the ions changes from that of facilitating cell apoptosis to that ofsuppressing cell apoptosis. As an initial and tentative study, my research haswon very positive comments from my advisor. In undertaking a large quantity ofexperiments, I not only applied basic operation skills with much dexterity butalso acquired many new techniques such as making post-coloring observation ofthe morphology of cell nucleus through the confocal fluorescence microscope, andperforming qualitative testing of cell apoptosis with the help of flow cytometrymethod (FCM).
Having completed my undergraduate education and acquired necessaryqualifications, I would like to pursue a more advanced degree program at TheDepartment of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, Faculty of Medicine at TheUniversity of _. The department, founded in the 1950’s, has been greatlystrengthened by the joining of dozens of renowned scholars and specialists overeach of the past decade. Its mission, “to educate, create and sustain knowledgeconcerning the actions and mechanisms of drugs in biology and medicine,"reflects the Department’s consistent dedication to academic excellence. YourDepartment fosters research collaborations within the Department as well as withother _ Faculties & Departments, national and international universitiesand related industries, and is committed to the development of new researchareas. I am especially interested in Clinical Pharmacology Research Organization(CPRO) under the leadership of Dr. _.
Your research-oriented program adheres to an “apprenticeship” model ofgraduate training in which in which graduate students work in closecollaboration with a particular Faculty member, their supervisor. Since thematching of research and professional interests between the student and aFaculty member within the Department is paramount, I would like to identify Dr._ and Dr. X_as either instructor or supervisor with whom I would like to workwith. Dr. X_may enlighten me on central nervous system physiology andpharmacology while Dr. X_may instruct me concerning the mechanisms of actionand resistance and intracellular pharmacokinetics of antiviral agents. Myinitial study of their papers and research reveals that their fields of researchperfectly parallel my study and research interests. I expect that my Master’sprogram can ultimately lead to a Ph. D. program.
This Personal Statement is presented by a highly self-motivated Chineseyoung man who cherishes high academic ambitions, possesses outstanding biologyknowledge, and is determined to work harder to make even more proudachievements. For this reason, I hope that my application can be given mostserious consideration.
Yours sincerely,
