完整高级范例

My academic interest lies at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Healthcare. This was sparked by a personal experience with a family member's misdiagnosis, which made me ponder how AI could enhance diagnostic accuracy. To translate this interest into action, I self-learned Python and completed a project using open-source medical imaging datasets to build a basic classification model. While the model was rudimentary, it solidified my resolve. This is precisely why I'm so impressed by HKUST's BEng in Computer Science. The 'AI for Health' concentration is exactly what I'm looking for, and the research conducted by the 'Center for Medical Robotics' aligns perfectly with my aspirations. I am convinced that studying here will equip me with the technical expertise and research mindset needed to one day develop accessible AI-driven diagnostic tools for underserved communities.

完整高级范例

面试官:你在文书中提到领导了一个关于校园塑料回收的项目,能详细说说吗?

你的回答:

(S) Certainly. My personal statement mentions the 'Campus Plastic Initiative' I started in my sophomore year. The situation was that our university's recycling rates were surprisingly low, especially for plastics.

(T) My task, as the self-initiated project lead, was to design and implement a strategy to boost participation and awareness.

(A) Instead of just putting up more bins, I first conducted a survey to understand the root of the problem. The data revealed that most students were confused about what could be recycled. So, I orchestrated a two-pronged approach. First, I designed and distributed clear, visual guides on proper recycling etiquette. Second, I collaborated with the university's environmental club to host an interactive workshop on sustainability. I delegated tasks to team members, with some handling social media promotion and others managing the event logistics.

(R) The result was a 40% increase in properly sorted plastic waste within three months, and the workshop attracted over 150 students. The initiative was later adopted by the student union as an annual event.

(R - Reflection) For me, the key takeaway was the power of data-driven decision-making and community engagement. Simply telling people to 'do the right thing' is less effective than understanding their barriers and addressing them directly. This experience ignited my interest in behavioral economics and environmental policy—specifically, how we can 'nudge' people towards sustainable choices. It's why I'm so eager to take courses like 'Environmental Economics and Policy' at your university, as I believe the theoretical frameworks taught there are essential for scaling up such solutions from a campus to a societal level.

应对文书相关问题的进阶技巧

1

准备故事包

为文书中提到的每一条重要经历准备一个2-3分钟的STAR+R故事。即使面试官只问一点,你也能从容抽取核心部分讲述。

2

展现你的思考过程

不要只说你做了什么,要说你为什么这么做。例如,我选择用Python而不是Excel,因为...。

3

诚实地谈论失败

如果被问到一个挫折,不要回避。描述你如何应对、学习和改进,这比成功本身更能体现你的成熟度。

4

主动引导

回答结束时,可以主动说:This experience is actually what led me to my interest in [与你申请专业相关的领域], which I'm eager to explore further at your university. 这巧妙地将话题引向你的学术兴趣。
