近年来，申请美本的竞争愈发激烈。大家都有着很高的标准化成绩和GPA以及丰富的活动背景。那学校招生官如何区分哪些学生更适合自己的学校呢？

这时候，文书的重要性就体现出来了。可以说，好的申请文书，不仅可以让孩子在标化成绩和别人不相上下的时候脱颖而出，更能在孩子标化成绩不是很好的时候起到补充拔高作用。并且，根据我们以往的申请经验，好的文书立意，能让申请成功率提高30%以上。

什么样的文书是好文书呢？好的文书，不仅能充分挖掘你的过去，体现你个人的特点，更要能预示你的未来；不仅要有思考深度，还要有足够的素材去支撑。

就像麻省理工学院(MIT)官网上关于本科申请所说，当MIT要招收一届本科新生时，我们就像挑选1000个人，组成一个登山队，一起去攀登一座有趣又崎岖的山。我们需要队员有相当的登山训练，耐力和激情。同时，我们也希望每个人都能给这个队伍，带来一些有用的、引人入胜的东西，可以是良好的性情，或者幽默感，还是丰富的个人经历，乃至各种各样的个人天赋，才能，兴趣和成就。我们强调的，不是一帮一模一样的完美的登山者。我们要找的是一群各不相同的能人，以便使他们能够互相支持，惊喜和鼓舞。

这段话差不多也说出了美国大学本科录取的本质。哈佛女孩的成功不能复制，一旦复制你就失去了自己的特色。对于美国大学来说，他们在审阅申请材料的时候是想全面了解一个学生。他们不会喜欢某一特定类型的学生，而是在招生录取中想找各种类型的人。他们关注校园的多样性，大家各有所长，可以给大学带来更多色彩。
