● 八月还剩个烦人的尾巴，夹杂着一股闷热躁动的气息，催促同学们迈入新学期。12年级的同学们，美国大学申请倒计时70天计时开始！
● “活动”的丰富与否、活动是否亮眼，总是伴随着申请者从9年级直到12年级，从未摆脱困扰的问题！但大多同学和家长都忽略了一个从一开始就是最最重要的问题，那便是申请文书。
● 经常有家长会问到文书是谁帮助学生创作和润色？也有自以为是的家长强烈要求跟文书导师唠一唠，好像直接能唠到名校去。。。
● 但，很少有家长在一开始就问到和关注到文书题目是什么？只有了解文书题目，了解招生官从几个维度来审视你，你才真正懂得大学申请是什么！你才知道你应该做什么、应该怎么做。
从文书题目看“申请真谛” 从文书题目变化看“玄机”
