哈佛華裔校友分享進名校要訣
名校錄取率逐年降低，許多學生憂心如何寫出一篇出色的申請作文。世界日報於25日(周日)在法拉盛舉辦麥當勞教育博覽會，主題之一是邀請今年剛出 版新書「58篇成功申請哈佛作文」的哈佛大學校友董志剛(Jordan Tung)，主講「進名校的三大要件」。
長島北大頸高中畢業的董志剛，2009年進入哈佛，主修應用數學、經濟，副修電腦。高中時他發現，身邊申請名校的同學，成績都差不多，真正有助突出 的是申請的作文。但輔導老師要照顧太多學生，父母移民自香港，也沒有在美申請大學的經驗。他常在圖書館研究，寫完後也問了許多人意見，結果花的時間遠超出 自己想像。他也曾幫許多亞裔學生修改作文，大學時便想寫一本書分享經驗。他訪問同學，請他們提供申請作文，最後累積了約400篇，篩選出主題多樣、內容不 重複的58篇。
該書英文書名為「58 Successful Harvard Admissions Essays: The Must Have Resource to Get into the College of Your Dreams. Unedited, Recent, Effective」。他認為最好的文章是從一個重要事件、成就，反映自己的個性。比如有位女孩回憶童年時爺爺常撥橘子給她吃，順便說自己移民的故事，影 響了她後來的努力。有些是關於個人失敗經驗，有人談家庭，有人談臉書，有些語氣有趣，有些則是架構特別。
董志剛認為學校想找的不是考試滿分，而是不同個性、能自我激勵者。這本書展現了哪些作文真的奏效，被名校錄取。最特別處是跟上時代，收錄的都是最近 四年成功的作文，不像某些書收錄的作文曾刻意被改寫。他目前也正編寫第二本有關申請大學的書。25日他將介紹「如何有優先順序、整合資源」；實戰分析如何 寫好一篇申請作文；真實個案如何讓自己脫穎而出。
Congratulations to the award winners and best wishes to the Class of 2015!
The awards ceremony will take place on Friday, June 26th at the Sheraton Laguardia East Hotel ballroom.
