很多學生會選擇去美國讀研究生，呢么美國研究生留學PS的寫作技巧及要求有哪些呢?這是很多學生比較感興趣的問題。和出國留學網一起來看看吧!下面是小編整理的相關資訊，歡迎閱讀。
美國研究生留學PS范文及寫作要求
美國研究生留學PS個人陳述寫作時，很多人往往把思路和想法局限在自己的世界中，從而忽略了閱讀個人陳述的招生者的心思，比如招生者如果閱讀了自己的個人陳述是什么樣的感受和反饋。如果在個人陳述寫作中能夠去揣摩一下招生者的心思就可以更好地準備自己的申請，使自己的申請更加完美并獲得最佳的申請結果。
1、在個人陳述的整體布局上
很多學生的個人陳述寫作是非常失敗的，他們的思路是典型的中國思維，在文書寫作上往往是大而全，希望在申請文書中體現自身所有的內容。故此，無論是小時候的把一分錢交給警察叔叔的經歷，還是大學抗洪救災，都會一股腦的往上放，這使得文章整體的布局出現嚴重的思路不突出，內容不鮮明的特點。其實，申請人為什么不“換位思考”，看看錄取委員會想要什么呢?如果自己是錄取委員會的一員，期待著學生的文書是什么樣子?到底是一個寬泛的自述，還是針對專業(yè)的一個有針對性的個人表達?其實，個人陳述就是一個圍繞專業(yè)的表達，錄取委員會感興趣的就是和專業(yè)有關的內容，至于其他的內容并不是他們所關心的。一個學習計算機的學生，他的計算能力和編程經驗，錄取委員會會非常感興趣，至于他參加抗洪救災沒有，除非是他參與了抗洪救災的計算機程序設計，錄取委員就不會太感冒了。故此，個人陳述的整體布局要以錄取委員會的喜好作為基礎，錄取委員會希望看什么，就寫什么，如果沒有興趣的，就不要花任何力氣去寫了。這一點來說非常重要。
2、在個人陳述的寫作風格上
很多申請人在寫個人陳述寫作的過程中，希望“語不驚人死不休”，力求將申請文書寫的完美，這一點本身沒錯，一篇優(yōu)美的個人陳述，是能夠給自己申請結果加上很多分數的。不過，英語有一句話叫做“Substance over form”，意思是內容重于形式，在閱讀申請材料過程中，錄取委員會其實也更注重申請人的實質性東西，希望看到申請人的專業(yè)水平和研究工作經歷。而很多申請人卻將大量的精力放到了如何使語言更優(yōu)美的方向上去，用的單詞生僻，讀起來不能朗朗上口，這實際上是本末倒置，無法得到錄取委員會的青睞。
3、在個人陳述的寫作內容上
由于沒有“換位思考”的意識，申請人在個人陳述寫作內容上的把握往往和錄取委員會的期待值離的甚遠，這主要體現在申請人對個人陳述寫作內容如何表達上。中國申請人對自己的工作經歷往往會進行著力描述，但是很少體現自己的思維、學習和提高過程。而錄取委員會一方面注重前者，一方面對于申請人的思維過程和自身提高上極其看重。他們看個人陳述，往往會采取一種邏輯的角度，即申請人的成長和進步過程前后有沒有邏輯性，前面做的工作是否為后面的情況進行了鋪墊，而后面的成就是否是前面工作的深化和提高。這些邏輯性是很多中國學生不具備的。有些同學做的事情很多，但是都是在文章中進行詳細的列舉，沒有把這些重要的內容以邏輯的角度串成一條線，展示給錄取委員會。這和錄取委員會的思路就相距甚遠，極大影響了自己文章在他們心目中的質量和水平。

Personal Statement
A recent piece of news coming out of America caught my attention: Condoleezza Rice, the former US Secretary of State, became one of the first female members to be admitted to the Augusta National Golf Club. The Augusta National Golf Club is the home of the Masters tournament which had, until about a month ago, excluded women throughout its 80-year history. I have read about Rice’s background and her accomplishments in so many areas ranging from sports to music to academics, not to mention politics and international affairs. She has proven again and again the Russian proverb “women can do everything; men can do the rest” and the Chinese saying “women can hold up half of the sky.”
I cannot picture myself playing golf, nor do I intend to, because, while I like sports in general, I am not athletically inclined. However, like Rice, I am not unfamiliar with what historically has been considered to be men’s territory. I am a material forming and control engineering student and my area of interest has been the microcosmic mechanism of steel and other alloy materials, an area in which female students are definitely in the minority. For me, my interest in science, particularly materials science, was natural. My grandfather belonged to the first generation of pilots of the People’s Republic of China. I grew up under his care. The type of stories he shared with me were often a mixture his encounters with Chinese and world leaders he had flown and the mechanical features of the flight deck. My father is not a pilot, but his job requires that he spends most of his work hours in the cockpit of aircrafts as a radio communication maintenance engineer. I have lost count of the number of times I accompanied him to test radio signals or fix radio problems. Under the influence of my grandpa and my father, I developed an early interest in mechanics, electric circuits, physics and chemistry.
It was later in college that I gained a much deeper appreciation of the complicated and almost mysterious inner workings of metal materials. The study of metallography and heat treatment guided me into the microcosmic world. Heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering can significantly change these properties. I also investigated the mechanical properties of materials, defects and their propagation, as well as their behavior under static, dynamic, and cyclic loads. With the help electron microscope, I observed feather-shaped lower bainite and needle-shaped high bainite. All these phenomena fully demonstrate the amazing nature of this discipline.
During my junior year I did an internship at Rizhao Iron and Steel Works, where I gained practical experience in ingot casting, foundry techniques, blast furnace extraction, and electrolytic extraction. As I learnt the intricacies of removing impurities such as sulfur, phosphorus and excess carbon from raw iron and adding alloying elements such as manganese, nickel, chromium and vanadium to create the desired properties, I constantly drew the analogy between cooking and steelmaking. We make primary, secondary and HIsarna steelmaking processes more interesting in very much the same way we try to spice up our cooking recipes with all kinds of ingredients; certainly we can fine-tune the heating and cooling processes just as we monitor our cooking temperature for the desired result. I thought steelmaking is eminently suited to women. Which is not to it is not suited to men. I am not suggesting or trying to stereotype women as fine cooks in the kitchen; in fact, some of the best cooks I have seen on televised Iron Chef competitions are men. What I am saying is that even Steelmaking is certainly a field that calls for creativity. And, when it comes to creativity, women have much to bring to the table.
I was a member of a project team that studied a new automatic steel-teeming system with an electromagnetic induction coil. The new system uses Fe-C alloy to replace traditional stuffing, and applies the electromagnetic induction to heat the alloy, which realizes the automatic tapping. Consequently, the system increases the pouring rate and improves the purity of molten steel, being meaningful in practice. During the experiment, after looking up relative information and contacting actual manufacturers, I finally found an alloy material which could resist high temperatures and so I applied for a patent. Meanwhile, while dealing with joint parts, our group associated it with real life and took the way fire hydrants link together as our model. At last, we got satisfactory results.
Both the United States and China have made significant strides in providing equal opportunity for women. The differences are not very great in this area. For me, as an aspiring material scientist, the differences lie in the American tradition of excellence and the level of development in materials science research. There, extensive availability and use of sophisticated, state-of-the-art equipment provide students and researchers the tools necessary for high-resolution examination of compositions, structures and the defects of materials. I am naturally drawn to intellectually challenging environments where the worlds’ best and brightest men and women congregate to compare notes, to explore and drive the creation of new products and even new industries and to lead in the advancement of science and technology.
With influential faculty and abundant resources, Carnegie Mellon University is my top choice. I am specifically interested in the realm of microstructural science. The goal of this program is to understand the origins of the quantifiable characteristics of polycrystals and soft materials that arise during processes, to develop strategies for influencing these characteristics, and to define microstructural metrics that can be directly related to macroscopic properties and performance. I hope I have the opportunity to work together with your eminent faculty. I believe that my dream to devote myself to the study of materials can be realized with the help of your graduate training program.
