什么是持续关注信?(What is a Letter of Continued Interest?)
继续关注信是一种额外的书面通信形式,由被列入候补名单或推迟入学的学生发送给大学的招生办公室,以申辩他们的情况,重申他们对入学的兴趣,并希望增加他们被录取的机会。
对于大多数学校来说,继续关注信并不是一项要求,但许多学生在没有被他们的首选学校录取时选择发信。这封信可能会也可能不会导致录取,但如果你被列入候补名单或推迟录取,通常建议你向学校发信,告知他们你仍然有兴趣上他们的大学。
一些学校,如圣母大学有专门的门户网站,你可以很容易地提交更新,包括继续感兴趣的信,他们建议在整个申请和等待名单期间保持更新。
其他学校,如耶鲁大学,可能会接受一封这种信件,但要求你只给他们发送一封更新信,而不发送其他成绩更新、电子邮件或卡片。
有些学校甚至可能根本不接受持续关注信。例如,弗吉尼亚大学指出,持续关注信不作为他们录取过程中的一个因素,并要求你在年中成绩报告之外不要寄信或更新。
而南加州大学最近在Instagram上发布消息,提醒学生不要提交持续关注信。如果你看到你的潜在学校不接受这些类型的信件,一定要遵守他们的要求。
建议做到的:
你的书面意向:清楚地说明,如果你从等候名单上被录取,你打算入学并参加。如果你不能向他们承诺你会接受录取,只需说明你对他们的学校非常感兴趣。
学术更新:这封信是你阐述你的成绩或考试分数的任何学术更新的机会,这些内容也将被寄给学校。此外,你可以利用这个时间讨论任何不会直接寄给学校的新的学术成就,如体育和其他课外活动成就,非学术奖项等。
个人更新:是否发生了任何重大的生活变化或机会,可以以任何方式增加你的申请的清晰度?利用这个空间让招生委员会知道。
你的感激之情:不要忘记感谢招生办公室的时间和他们的考虑。
避免出现的内容:
在你的申请中已经强调的信息和细节;
额外的推荐信:如果学校要求,你应该已经在申请中提交了这些推荐信,再添加任何推荐信都是不必要的。
质问性评论:这里不是责备学校将你列入候补名单或推迟入学的地方,这样做肯定会对你不利。
关于你对其他学校的申请情况的信息:如果你被你申请的所有其他学校拒绝,不要在你的持续关注信中提及此事。同样,用 "你是我最后的希望 "作为兴趣表达也不是一个好主意。
那我们先试着写一封
