IB考试补充论文题目

不少美国大学宣布学生无需提交SAT成绩，所以IB考试的考生可以直接用IB成绩申请美国大学。不过，想要申请名校，但就补充论文这一项就让不少考生感到同样头疼了，今天小编就带着大家看看美国大学都出过哪些奇葩的补充论文题目？

芝加哥大学

Due to a series of clerical errors, there is exactly one typo (an extra letter, a removed letter, or an altered letter) in the name of every department at the University of Chicago. Oops! Describe your new intended major. Why are you interested in it and what courses or areas of focus within it might you want to explore? Potential options include Commuter Science, Bromance Languages and Literatures, Pundamentals: Issues and Texts, Ant History…….

说到补充论文题目的创造性和古怪时，芝加哥大学绝对是NO.1。为了提出最佳和最具创意的题目，芝加哥大学从自己的学生那里获得建议和启发，并允许学生通过电子邮件表达自己的想法。如果在UChicago网站上查看，你甚至可以看到是谁提出了这么“有创意”的题目。

以上这个题目是学生展示创造力和幽默感以及学术兴趣的绝好机会。

塔夫茨大学

Kermit the Frog famously lamented, 'It's not easy being green.' Do you agree?

塔夫茨大学的补充论文题目也很有创意。此题目的灵感来自Muppets的一首歌，Kermit哀叹绿色似乎与许多其他普通事物融为一体，以及他如何未能从人群中脱颖而出。当然，许多学生在论文中展示了自己完全不同的观点方向，以表明其批判性思维和创造力。

圣母大学

You have 150 words. Take a risk.

有报道称，有些学生冒了最大的风险，那就是什么也没写。

宾夕法尼亚大学

Have you ever walked through the aisles of a warehouse store like Costco or Sam’s Club and wondered who would buy a jar of mustard a foot and a half tall? We’ve bought it, but it didn’t stop us from wondering about other things, like absurd eating contests, impulse buys, excess, unimagined uses for mustard, storage, preservatives, notions of bigness…and dozens of other ideas both silly and serious. Write an essay somehow inspired by super-huge mustard.

你是否曾经写过一篇关于一罐巨大的芥末酱的文章？2004年，UChicago申请者就得到了这样的机会，尽管题目中包含了荒谬的内容，但许多人的文书还是找到了创造性且值得思考的方向。

宾夕法尼亚大学

You have just finished your 300-page autobiography. Please submit page 217.

典型的宾大题目。宾大鼓励学生讲述自己的故事，并以此来向宾大进行自我介绍。可以考虑从如何增加真实感方面回答。

芝加哥大学

Find x.

数学专业学生也难以回答的问题，且这个问题没有上下文。什么是“ x” ？芝加哥大学的学生将如何找到它？申请者们从各种数学理论以及哲学和个人方面进行了新颖的讨论。

塔夫茨大学

The ancient Romans started it when they coined the phrase “Carpe diem.” Jonathan Larson proclaimed “No day but today!” and most recently, Drake explained You Only Live Once (YOLO). Have you ever seized the day? Lived like there was no tomorrow? Or perhaps you plan to shout YOLO while jumping into something in the future. What does #YOLO mean to you?

早在发布此题目时，塔夫茨的#YOLO问题就引起了轰动。塔夫茨大学本科生招生院院长李·科芬承认，这个问题的灵感来自于他对流行音乐的热爱以及在申请人向塔夫茨大学自我介绍时渴望获得一些乐趣的愿望。

芝加哥大学

Elvis is alive! OK, maybe not, but here in the Office of College Admissions we are persuaded that current Elvis sightings in highway rest areas, grocery stores and Laundromats are part of a wider conspiracy involving five of the following: the metric system, the Mall of America, the crash of the Hindenburg, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, lint, J.D. Salinger and wax fruit. Help us get to the bottom of this evil plot by constructing your own theory of how and why five of these items and events are related. Your narrative may take any form you like, but try to keep your theory to under two pages.

这是1999-2000年芝加哥大学的一道补充论文题目，到底是谁想出了这么奇葩的题目？

南加州大学

(Short Answer) Hashtag to describe yourself.

这也不算是很奇葩的题目。大学论文提示通常通过一些简短的问题以认识学生。从2017年开始，南加州大学采用了一个独特的问题，让学生像在Twitter或instagram上一样用＃标签来介绍自己。但是，这也是一道很难的题目，你将如何用单个标签来形容自己？

塔夫茨大学

It’s been said that something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wing can cause a typhoon halfway around the world. History is filled with such linchpins – small events or decisions that have huge effects on the future. Make your own change somewhere in history and show us the effects on the world.

对于历史的迷来说，这是一个典型例题，也许是在唤起人们对扭曲的宇宙的幻想，在这个宇宙中，我们所知道的生活已经好转或变坏了。对于申请人来说，挑战将是如何以创造性的方式谈论自己和他们的利益。

维克森林大学

Give us your top ten list.

如果是你，你会如何回答这个问题呢？

芝加哥大学

Imagine you’ve struck a deal with the Dean of Admissions himself, Dean Nondorf. It goes as follows: you’re guaranteed admission to the University of Chicago regardless of any circumstances that arise. This bond is grounded on the condition that you’ll obtain a blank, 8.5 x 11 piece of paper, and draw, write, sketch, shade, stencil, paint etc., anything and everything you want on it; your only limitations will be the boundaries of both sides on the single page. Now the catch… your submission, for the rest of your life, will always be the first thing anyone you meet for the first time will see. Whether it’s at a job interview, a blind date, arrival at your first Humanities class, before you even say, “hey,” they’ll already have seen your page, and formulated that first impression. Show us your page. What’s on it, and why? If your piece is largely or exclusively visual, please make sure to share a creator's accompanying statement of at least 300 words, which we will happily allow to be on its own, separate page. PS: This is a creative thought experiment, and selecting this essay prompt does not guarantee your admission to UChicago.

又是芝加哥大学……

芝加哥大学的这一问题也许是有史以来最长、最有创意的大学文书问题。实际上，它甚至根本不需要论文，而可以以书面或视觉作品回答的问题。伟大的艺术家会找到突破点，跳出框框进行思考。

加州大学伯克利分校

If any of these three inanimate objects could talk, how would your room, computer or car describe you?想象一下你在房间、计算机或方向盘上度过的所有时间；这些对象可能是世界上唯一确定你的真实身份的事物。这个问题肯定会引起加州大学伯克利分校哈斯商学院申请者的深入思考。

申请季一些比较奇葩的补充论文题目：

芝加哥大学

What can actually be divided by zero?"Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" - Eleanor Roosevelt. Misattribute a famous quote and explore the implications of doing so.

埃默里大学

If you could witness a historic event first-hand, what would it be, and why?

维拉诺瓦大学

What is the truest thing that you know? How did you come to this conclusion?

虽然申请美国大学比较难，小伙伴们需要在拿到IB文凭的前提下，考得优异的SAT成绩，还要精心准备申请文书，应对奇葩的补充文书，但是美国大学依然是小伙伴们心向往之的留学圣地！
