Supplementary Essayのタイプを掴む
大雑把に分けて、どういうpromptのessayがあるのかを把握したい ちゃんと書き始たらタイプが分かってきたので書いてみる
以下のEssayがそれぞれ250w程度で書けていれば、後は合うように調整するだけで7割くらいのSuppはカバーできると思う
1. Activity just for funについてのEssay
例:
We know you lead a busy life, full of activities, many of which are required of you. Tell us about something you do simply for the pleasure of it. MIT出願 Whether big or small, mundane or spectacular, tell us about something that brings you joy. Brown出願 2. Inquiry inside/outside classroomについてのEssay
これは二パターンくらいあったほうが良さそう
例:
The Stanford community is deeply curious and driven to learn in and out of the classroom. Reflect on an idea or experience that makes you genuinely excited about learning. Stanford出願 We are inspired by students who are flexible in their approach to learning, who are comfortable with experimentation, and who are willing to take intellectual risks that move them out of their comfort zone. Reflect on a time that you were intellectually challenged, inspired, or took an intellectual risk—inside or outside of the classroom. How has that experience shaped you, and what questions still linger? Swarthmore出願 3. Communityから受けた影響についてのEssay
例:
Tell us about an aspect of your own perspective, viewpoint or lived experience that is important to you, and describe how it has shaped the way you would learn from and contribute to Columbia's diverse and collaborative community. Columbia出願 Describe the world you come from; for example, your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations? MIT出願 4. Communityに自分が与えた影響/貢献についてのEssay
例:
Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time. UC出願 この話を、collaborationとかleadershipのpromptにも使いまわせると良さそう
Tell us about how you have collaborated with and worked together within a small group of your peers on some task or endeavor in the past, or about how you imagine you will work with your Caltech peers in the future. Caltech出願 注意点
そのまま使い回すのはだいたいむずいので、ちゃんとPromptをしっかり読んで調整するべき
これらはCommon App 650w Essayとは別の内容
もしUC/MITに出願する予定があるなら、それらの大学のEssayをまず書くと良さそう
UCもMITも使い回しがしやすいEssay Promptが多いので

以下は2021/08ごろ書いたやつ
分けるの難しいなとは思った
例えば
大学の特徴とかを絡めた上で課外活動とか思想とか聞くprompt（志望理由も間接的に聞いている）
過去の課外活動等の具体的経験をもとに、思想とか興味の深掘り方とかを聞いてくるやつ
まあ一番近いジャンルに振り分けている
これを知るのがメインだろうなーと予想して分けている
使った大学
課外活動や経験おしえろ系
シンプルに活動を聞くのと、経験と何かの繋がりを聞くやつがあるけど、まあどっちも本質的には一緒な気がする
シンプルに聞いてるやつでも、自分の何かと繋がりを持たせるのは必要だから
「did simply for pleasure」とか「contributed to community」とかspecificに聞いてくるのもある
How did you spend your last two summers?

At MIT, we bring people together to better the lives of others. MIT students work to improve their communities in different ways, from tackling the world’s biggest challenges to being a good friend. Describe one way in which you have contributed to your community, whether in your family, the classroom, your neighborhood, etc.
Tell us about the most significant challenge you’ve faced or something important that didn’t go according to plan. How did you manage the situation?
We are inspired by students who are flexible in their approach to learning, who are comfortable with experimentation, and who are willing to take intellectual risks that move them out of their comfort zone.

How has that experience shaped you, and what questions still linger?

Brown’s culture fosters a community in which students challenge the ideas of others and have their ideas challenged in return, promoting a deeper and clearer understanding of the complex issues confronting society. This active engagement in dialogue is as present outside the classroom as it is in academic spaces. Tell us about a time you were challenged by a perspective that differed from your own. How did you respond?
環境を教えろ系
Describe the world you come from; for example, your family, clubs, school, community, city, or town. How has that world shaped your dreams and aspirations?
Swarthmore students’ worldviews are often forged by their prior experiences and exposure to ideas and values. Our students are often mentored, supported, and developed by their immediate context—in their neighborhoods, communities of faith, families, and classrooms. Reflect on what elements of your home, school, or community have shaped you or positively impacted you. How have you grown or changed because of the influence of your community?
思想/考え方/興味を教えろ系
面白いと思うこととか、価値を感じることとか、学び方とか、興味分野を聞いてくるやつ

Why are you interested in attending Columbia University? We encourage you to consider the aspect(s) that you find unique and compelling about Columbia.
What influenced you to apply to Harvey Mudd College? What about the HMC curriculum and community appeals to you?
Many students choose HMC because they don’t want to give up their interests in the Humanities, Social Sciences and the Arts – or HSA as we call it at HMC. Briefly (in 100 words or less) describe what you’d like to learn about in your dream HSA class.
