大家都拿了几个offer了呢。留学文书或者面试经常需要回答的一个问题就是
Why do you choose our school?
或者 Why xxx University is an ideal fit for you?
回答这个问题，大家的答案一定不要太generic，要结合你自己的情况去回答。学校的排名，学术研究能力，设施，地理位置……这些都可以讲，但是不能只简单列举。如果你本科在伦敦读的，那么你研究生选择UCL就可以提到它的地理位置，因为很熟悉，加上更多的实习机会。
在这里给大家整理了三个例子，其中一个反例，和两个比较好的例子，希望能帮助到大家。
不好的例子
Student 1：Boston University
Boston University has become one of the best in the US；it has top professors and is located in the middle of a historic city，and accessible to everything.It has a strong international relations program which would be perfect for me since I have attended a diverse international school.Given Boston University's notable reputation and history，I would be excited by the opportunity to attend such a strong and knowledgeable institution...
波士顿大学已成为美国最好的大学之一；它拥有一流的教授，位于一座历史名城的中心，交通便利。它有一个强大的国际关系课程，这对我来说是完美的，因为我曾就读于一所多元化的国际学校。鉴于波士顿大学的显著声誉和历史，我很高兴有机会进入如此强大且知识渊博的机构…
分析：
只夸学校，没有和自己的实际情况联系起来
缺少诚意，模式化强
好的例子
Student 2：University College London
I intend to parsue a career in accounting.I see the School of Business as the Holy Grail of education，Offering the impressive intellectual and technical resources of a prestigious research university，UCL would provide me withthe most forward-focused education in accounting.Also，the school's large size would allow me the chance to find hobbies and causes that interest me and get involved in various organizations.I know I want to meet paople from different backgrounds and have a range of experiences to broaden my knowledge and perspective and become a more well-rounded person.
我打算从事会计职业。我认为UCL商学院是教育的圣杯。UCL将为我提供最前沿的会计教育，因其是一所著名研究型大学以及令人印象深刻的学术和技术资源。此外，学校规模庞大，让我有机会找到自己感兴趣的爱好和事业，并参与各种组织。我知道我想结识来自不同背景的人，并积累一系列的经验来拓宽我的知识和视野，成为一个更全面发展的人。
分析：
结合自身的职业规划
具体到某个专业的教育
讲到一些学习以外的期待
好的例子
Student 3：Northwestern University
It was on my official summer visit that I realized Northwestern University was the perfect school for me.Our topics of conversation ranged from Asian geography to efficient movement patterns,and everyone spoke enthusiastically about what they were involved in on campus.I really related with the guys I met，and I think they represent the passion that Northwestern University's students have.I can pursue my dream of beinga successful entrepreneur by joining the Entrepreneurs Societypursuing an Entrepreneurial Leadership minor，and taking part in an up-and-coming computer science program.
在我夏校正式访问中，我意识到西北大学对我来说是完美的学校。我们的谈话主题从亚洲地理到高效的运动模式，每个人都热情地谈论了他们在校园里参与的事情。我和我遇到的那些人真的很亲近，我认为他们代表了西北大学学生的热情。我可以通过加入西北大学企业家协会、攻读企业家领导力辅修课程并参加新兴的计算机科学课程来实现成为成功企业家的梦想。
分析：
结合自己和学校的经历
从学生主体出发
讲到学校的社团&职业规划&兴趣
