芝加哥大学2026申请文书更新
上传时间: 2025-06-25 13:57:49           浏览量: 113

每年申请季,芝加哥大学的补充文书题目总能以脑洞大开著称。今年,芝大再次更新了申请季的文书题目,延续了创意无限的传统,同时带来了新的变化与挑战。现在会带大家了解2026年新的选题。接下来托普仕老师就给大家分享一下芝加哥大学2026申请文书的详细内容。

  一、芝加哥大学必答文书题

  英文原文:

  How does the University of Chicago, as you know it now, satisfy your desire for a particular kind of learning, community, and future? Please address with some specificity your own wishes and how they relate to UChicago.

  翻译:

  以你现在所了解的方式,芝加哥大学如何满足你对特定类型学习、社区和未来的渴望?请具体说明你自己的愿望以及它们与芝加哥大学的关系。

  解析:

  这是芝大多年保留的经典题目,本质是 “Why UChicago” 的深度版。与其他学校不同,芝大特别强调 “particular kind”(特定类型)这一限定词,要求申请者精准定位自己独特的学习需求与芝大资源的匹配点。

  写作建议:

  避免泛泛而谈“学术声誉”,应具体到核心课程体系、特色项目(如芝加哥学派经济学)、教授研究方向或校园传统(如Scav Hunt寻宝活动)

  可以分别针对 “学习方式” (如跨学科研讨课)、 “社区文化” (如House系统)、 “未来规划” (如职业服务中心特色项目)展开

  一定要结合自身经历说明为何只有芝大能满足这些需求。

  二、芝加哥大学六选一创意文书

  1.英文原文:

  In an ideal world where inter-species telepathic communication exists, which species would you choose to have a conversation with, and what would you want to learn from them? Would you ask beavers for architectural advice? Octopuses about cognition? Pigeons about navigation? Ants about governance? Make your case—both for the species and the question.

  Inspired by YvanSugira, Class of 2029

  中文翻译:

  在一个理想世界中,假如跨物种的心灵感应交流成为现实,你会选择与哪种生物交谈?你希望从它们身上学到什么?你会向河狸请教建筑建议?向章鱼了解认知机制?向鸽子询问导航秘诀?还是请教蚂蚁群体治理之道?请为你选择的生物以及你要提的问题做出合理解释。

  2.英文原文:

  If you could uninvent one thing, what would it be — and what would unravel as a result?

  Inspired by Eitan Fischer, Class of 2027

  中文翻译:

  如果你可以“反发明”一样东西,也就是说让它从未被创造过——你会选择什么?当它从历史中被抹除之后,会引发怎样的连锁反应?

  3.英文原文:

  "Left" can mean remaining or departed. "Dust" can mean to add fine particles or to remove them. "Fast" can mean moving quickly or fixed firmly in place. These contronyms—words that are their own antonyms—somehow hold opposing meanings in perfect tension. Explore a contronym: a role, identity, or experience in your life that has contained its own opposite.

  Inspired by Kristin Yi, Class of 2029

  中文翻译:

  “Left”可以表示“留下”或“离开”;“Dust”既可以表示“撒上尘土”,也可以表示“清除尘土”;“Fast”既可以是“迅速”,也可以是“固定不动”。这些自反义词(contronym)同时拥有彼此相反的含义,却奇妙地保持平衡。请结合你自身经历,探索一个具有这种“自反性”的角色、身份或经历——它是如何同时包含两个对立面的?

  4.英文原文:

  The penny is on its way out—too small to matter, too costly to keep. But not everything small should disappear. What’s one object the world is phasing out that you think we can’t afford to lose, and why?

  Inspired by Ella Somaiya, Class of 2028

  中文翻译:

  一美分硬币正在退出历史舞台——价值太小,无足轻重,成本却又过高。然而,并非所有“微小”的事物都应该被淘汰。请谈谈一个正在被世界逐渐舍弃的小物件——你认为它不该被遗忘,为什么?

  5.英文原文:

  From Michelin Tires creating the Michelin Guide, to the audio equipment company Audio-Technica becoming one of the world’s largest manufacturers of sushi robots, brand identity can turn out to be a lot more flexible than we think. Choose an existing brand, company, or institution and propose an unexpected but strangely logical new product or service for them to launch. Why is this unlikely extension exactly what the world (or the brand) needs right now?

  Inspired by Julia Nieberg, Class of 2029

  中文翻译:

  从米其林轮胎公司创建《米其林指南》,到音响设备公司Audio-Technica成为全球最大的寿司机器人制造商之一,品牌的身份界限远比我们想象得更加灵活。请选择一个现有品牌、公司或机构,为它提出一个出人意料但又逻辑自洽的新产品或服务。为什么这个看似“不靠谱”的扩展,恰好正是这个品牌(或这个世界)当前所需要的?

  6.英文原文:

  Statistically speaking, ice cream doesn’t cause shark attacks, pet spending doesn’t drive the number of lawyers in California, and margarine consumption isn’t responsible for Maine’s divorce rate—at least, not according to conventional wisdom. But what if the statisticians got it wrong? Choose your favorite spurious correlation and make the case for why it might actually reveal a deeper, causative truth.

  Inspired by Adam DiMascio, Class of 2025

  中文翻译:

  从统计学角度看,吃冰淇淋不会导致鲨鱼袭击,宠物开销也不会影响加州的律师数量,人造黄油的消费也不应与缅因州的离婚率挂钩——至少按照传统观点是这样。但如果统计学家错了呢?请选出一个你喜欢的“虚假相关”(spurious correlation),并论证它可能揭示了一个更深层次的因果真相。

  六选一问题的结尾,芝大也贴心的附上:And, as always… the classic choose your own adventure option! In the spirit of adventurous inquiry, choose one of our past prompts (or create a question of your own). Be original, creative, thought provoking. Draw on your best qualities as a writer, thinker, visionary, social critic, sage, citizen of the world, or future citizen of the University of Chicago; take a little risk, and have fun!

  一如既往……欢迎你选择“自定冒险”的经典选项!本着探索精神,你可以选用往年的题目,也可以完全自创一个新的题目。请发挥你的原创性、创造力和思辨能力。展现你作为作家、思想者、梦想家、社会观察者、智者、世界公民,或未来芝加哥大学一员的最佳特质。大胆冒险,享受写作!
