虽然今年申请季的录取结果尚未公布，但申请2022fall的同学也别松懈，不要以为自己还“来得及”，因为Common App已经把2021-2022申请季的主文书题目送到你们面前啦！

与去年相比，2021-2022的文书题目有一个做出更新，也是五年来出现首次题目变更，官方表示此举是淘汰较少使用的选项。同时保留Additional Information中可选的Covid-19附加题。

做出变动的是第4题，原题目为“Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.”现在替换为“Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?”

新题目灵感来源于感恩和善良的探讨，尤其是别人对我们生活的积极影响的好处。Common App应该是考虑到疫情来袭，我们自己和身边出现了许多积极、感人的事情，题目中不仅强调别人带来的积极影响，还看重这一积极影响对个人带来哪种改变。

Common App完整文书题目

1、Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.

2、The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

3、Reflect on a time when you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking? What was the outcome?

4、Reflect on something that someone has done for you that has made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How has this gratitude affected or motivated you?

5、Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others.

6、Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?

7、Share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you've already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.
