Dartmouth celebrates the ways in which its profound sense of place informs its profound sense of purpose.

A. Labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta recommended a life of purpose. "We must use our lives to make the world a better place to live, not just to acquire things," she said. "That is what we are put on the earth for." In what ways do you hope to make—or are you making—an impact?
B. What excites you?
C. In The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, William Kamkwamba '14 reflects on constructing a windmill from recycled materials to power electrical appliances in his family's Malawian house: "If you want to make it, all you have to do is try." What drives you to create and what do you hope to make or have you made?

E. "Not everything that is faced can be changed; but nothing can be changed until it is faced," wrote James Baldwin. How does this quote apply to your life experiences?
在大学申请材料中，文书起到什么作用？
招生官认为，文书也赋予申请材料生命力。如果失去了你的个性，你的学术兴趣和课外活动只是一张课程和活动的列表而已。而让申请材料真正脱颖而出的是你用自己独特的语言为这张列表编织的叙事。

如果不知道文书怎么写，招生官给出了以下建议：
1、不要觉得你必须写我从来没读到过的东西。因为首先，这会让你对自己施加的压力过于庞大。而且有时，写一些读者可能从来没听说过的东西并不是良策：作者既会增加解释不清和困惑读者的风险，又会压缩叙事部分和思辨内容的空间。一个普通的话题，加入作者独特的思考，反而会使文章脱颖而出。
2、要努力呈现你人格中独特的一面。当然，这独特的一面也可以是我刚刚谈到的、你与众不同的话题。或许这独特的一面是你对一个极其普通的话题的独到见解。或许没人理解你为何对分离不定式、政治斗争、或者豪猪有如此深的执着（分享一个招生官读到的小故事：你知道豪猪对天敌的防御是通过先让对方追赶、再突然停下来使对方撞到刺上来实现的吗？）要把你的主文书看作一次解释你为何对这些事物如此执着的机会——这才是一个好的开端。
不少大陆申请者都有爬藤梦想，而大毛是招生人数最少的藤校，每年在大陆录取学生也非常有限，去年的录取率仅有6.2%，因此，想爬藤的申请者，一定要尽早认真准备文书创作。
