No.1 普林斯顿大学 Princeton University
普林斯顿大学目前还未公布2023-2024年的附加文书题目。
但普林斯顿大学非常看重学生的英语学术写作能力。因为除了附加文书的要求，普林斯顿大学都会有一个Graded Written Paper。
顾名思义，就是一篇由学生独立写作的，带有老师分数或者评级的，选自课内的课程作业或考试论文，但是必须符合学术写作要求的作文。
通过评价申请者们的Graded Written Paper，大学招生官们可以客观、准确地评估他们在学术领域的书面表达能力。
普林斯顿大学对这份文书做出了四个要求：
☆这篇文章一定是申请者在高中课内阶段写的，最好是英语课、社会科学课或历史课程的相关论文。
☆申请者可以提交课程论文、研究论文或考试论文，只对说明性写作感兴趣，而不是创造性写作。
☆1 - 2 页的篇幅就足够了。
☆该论文必须包括老师的评分和点评意见。

斯坦福大学几乎所有的本科生都住在校园里。给你未来的室友写张便条，写一些关于你的事情，或者能帮助你的室友——还有我们——更好地了解你。
解析：如果你曾经历的重大疾病或磨难想要把此经历告诉室友，那么这个note可以写的严肃一些，否则还是建议随意一点写，用一种轻松的方式把自己介绍给室友，最好能体现一定的幽默感。
可以通过几个故事或经历来呈现自己的性格，爱好，特点，注意的是要把真实的自己呈现出来，不要尝试去构建一个完全积极正能量但实际并不是自己的人。

2. How did you spend your last two summers?
过去两个暑假你是怎样度过的？

你希望亲眼目睹什么历史时刻或事件?
解析：如果你不能很快的想到某个你感兴趣的历史时刻，那么建议你回忆历史课学过的内容去寻找自己感兴趣的话题。

4. Briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities, a job you hold, or responsibilities you have for your family.
简单地阐述你的一项课外活动，你从事的一项工作，或者你对家庭的一项责任。

比如写领导力 ，我们可以写一个具体的事例来体现自己对领导力的认识思考；比如写自己对音乐的热爱，可以写音乐怎样影响了自己对文化的理解。
