康奈爾2025Fall推出新文書題目，什麼樣的文書能獲得藤校招生官的青睞？

康奈爾大學2025Fall文書題目更新啦！

這個申請季，康奈爾大學推出了新的文書題目，無論申請者選擇哪個學院，均需要回答此題！

We all contribute to, and are influenced by, the communities that are meaningful to us. Share how you’ve been shaped by one of the communities you belong to.

Remember that this essay is about you and your lived experience. Define community in the way that is most meaningful to you. Some examples of community you might choose from are: family, school, shared interest, virtual, local, global, cultural. (350 word limit)

譯文：

我們都為對我們有意義的社群做出貢獻，並受到社群的影響。分享你是如何被你所屬的社群塑造的。

記住，這篇文書是關於你和你的生活經歷的。用對你最有意義的方式來定義社群。你可以選擇的社群例子有：家庭、學校、共同興趣、虛擬、本地、全球、文化。(350字限制)

從這道新文書題目來看，今年康奈爾大學的文書重點是申請者所“塑造”的社群，以及具體是如何塑造的。

文書題目的變化也意味著康奈爾大學評估申請者的方式發生改變，值得注意的是，康奈爾不同的學院題目不同，除了上述必需回答的文書外，申請者還必須額外回答以下文書題目：
