2017 워싱턴 대학교, 시애틀 Writing Section 주요사항
Freshman Writing Section | Prompts + Instructions
A. Personal Statement (Required)
The Personal Statement is our best means of getting to know you and your best means of creating a context for your academic performance. When you write your personal statement, tell us about those aspects of your life that are not apparent from your academic record. Tell us about the experiences that don’t show up on your transcript:
a character-defining moment,
the cultural awareness you’ve developed,
a challenge faced,
a personal hardship or barrier overcome.
B. Short Response (Required)
Directions
Choose one of the following two topics and write a short essay. Maximum length: 300 words.
The University of Washington seeks to create a community of students richly diverse in cultural backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. How would you contribute to this community?
Describe an experience of cultural difference or insensitivity you have had or observed. What did you learn from it?
C. Additional Information About Yourself or Your Circumstances (Optional)
D. Additional Space (Optional)
You may use this space if you need to further explain or clarify answers you have given elsewhere in this application, or if you wish to share information that may assist the Office of Admissions. If appropriate, include the application question number to which your comment(s) refer.
E. Activities & Achievements (Required)
Directions
Using the grid provided below, identify up to five of your most significant activities and achievements during grades 9-12. In a few bullets or sentences, indicate your contribution.
Maximum length: 50 words for each activity.
Format for the Writing Section
Content as well as spelling, grammar, and punctuation are considered.
If you’re applying online, compose in a word processing program such as Word, then copy and paste into the windows provided. Double-spacing, italics, and other formatting will be lost, but this will not affect the evaluation of your application.
We've observed that most students write a polished formal essay for the Personal Statement yet submit a more casual Short Response and Journal of Activities & Achievements. Give every part of the Writing Section your very best effort, presenting yourself in standard, formal English.
Proffreed, proofreed, PROOFREAD!
