Common Application是一個(gè)用于申請(qǐng)部分美國(guó)高等院校(包括47個(gè)州和華盛頓特區(qū))的應(yīng)用網(wǎng)站。近期公布了針對(duì)2017-18年的一些新的變化。

　　●在Common Application上傳統(tǒng)來講，學(xué)生邀請(qǐng)自己的在校申請(qǐng)顧問參與申請(qǐng)過程的指導(dǎo)，現(xiàn)在，學(xué)生也可以邀請(qǐng)校外的一些資源比如community-based organizations，outside advisor，independent counselor等;這意味著，除了本校升學(xué)指導(dǎo)顧問外，學(xué)生還可以有其他的人來參與指導(dǎo)其申請(qǐng)，獨(dú)立申請(qǐng)顧問也可以參與進(jìn)來。這一變化是重大的，也是向其對(duì)手平臺(tái)Coalition學(xué)習(xí)借鑒的結(jié)果。

　　●成績(jī)Self-reported系統(tǒng)，也就是允許申請(qǐng)者自己填寫所學(xué)習(xí)課程和成績(jī)分?jǐn)?shù);因?yàn)橐恍┐髮W(xué)是要求學(xué)生在申請(qǐng)過程中自行填寫課程和成績(jī)分?jǐn)?shù)的，這樣的舉措是為了方便申請(qǐng)者和一部分大學(xué)的錄取要求，并將在2017年8月1日后正式啟用。

　　●和Google Drive的整合，允許學(xué)生直接調(diào)用存在Google Drive上的文件和資料用于申請(qǐng)的補(bǔ)充，包括簡(jiǎn)歷、作業(yè)、項(xiàng)目等。

　　稍早不久前，Common Application也宣布了新近加入其組織的大學(xué)新成員，這使得在未來一年，將有來自美國(guó)49個(gè)州、全世界18個(gè)國(guó)家(美國(guó))、約700所院校使用該系統(tǒng)。

　　Common Application之前公布了2017-18申請(qǐng)季的最新文書題目，在局部調(diào)整之余再增加了2個(gè)題目和選擇，這樣目前申請(qǐng)者就有了7個(gè)選擇。題目如下：

　　1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story. [沒有變化]談重要的背景信息、個(gè)性化特點(diǎn)、天賦、有意義的經(jīng)歷等。

　　2. The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience? [修改]談挑戰(zhàn)、挫折或失敗。
