个人陈述（PS）想必大家都知道，申请美国留学重要的文书材料，那么要如何下手呢？接下来出国留学网小编解答去美国读本科个人陈述怎么写？

书写内容。

申请原因：

文书的最开始当然是要交代自己的背景啦！

要让admission看一眼就知道你递交申请的原因是啥，简单直接的表达会让你的application在多如牛毛的personal statement里成为一股清流，还省去大学招生办不少过滤废话的时间！

短短的一段或两段里，小伙伴们应重点解决以下两个问题：

为什么申请这个科系：何时开始对这个科目感兴趣？你是否有逐渐加深对这个科目的了解？

你如何保持对这个科目的兴趣？你对这个科目的兴趣是否影响了你的未来甚至职业规划？你为什么想要在大学阶段选修这门科目？为什么选择来美国求学：过去有无接触英式教育？如有，何时开始、为什么、是否对你的大学申请选择有直接影响？如无，为什么选择美国大学本科？

个人努力：

然后，就是小伙伴们向大学证明自己真的辗转反侧、茶饭不思、悬梁刺股、炒鸡炒鸡想读这个系的好时候啦！

我：报告大学，我才不是思想的巨人，行动的矮子呢！我可脚踏实地啦！

大学：那就证明一波呗。每年辣么多人申请，我干嘛非要招你？

我：那当然是因为——学术篇：上学期间你是如何储备相关知识的=你选择的A-Level（alevel）科目对你理解这个科目有什么作用？

课余你是如何储备相关知识的=读过的书、看过的电影、听过的讲座、follow过的节目？

平常有没有多看书多读报？

近期你申请科目的领域里有没有发生什么大事件？你是否读过相关的报道分析？这些事件如何启发了你？

经历篇：（在你到目前的所有经历里找和报的科系关联度最高哒！）你是否参加过任何活动或竞赛？这些活动与你申请的学科有无直接关系？如有，你收获了什么？如无，这个活动对你有什么特殊意义/对你起到了怎样的帮助值得你写进文书？

你是否有过任何工作或社会活动经验（包括班干部、学校图书管理员啥的）？是有偿或志愿？如有偿，你工作的目的与对这个科目的兴趣有关吗？如无偿，你认为自己从中获得最大的收获是什么？是否有任何个人兴趣爱好或特殊才能？这些特长对自己/未来对大学有什么帮助？

国际生：你认为自己有足够的英语水平应对美国的大学课程吗？你过去有完成过任何纯英教学的课程吗？有无任何证据能显示你具备良好的适应与交流能力（在美国高中参加辩论队会是个炒鸡好的例子！）？

附加信息：

还有一些关于自己的额外信息，同学们千万记得提供哦！

deferredentry：有gap year的计划吗？如有，打算利用这一年完成什么事情？（记得要证明自己并没有荒废青春哦）已经过了gapyear？过去一年都做了什么事情/为自己的大学生活做了什么准备？

AS成绩不太理想是否有任何非人为不可控因素的干扰？是否有任何证据能说服大学你的A2预估成绩妥妥的？

国际学生这一条真不是歧视。但我们要用自己棒棒哒的英语表述证明自己一点都不比本地学生弱！分分钟写作水平还高过美国同学好吗！

书写注意事项。

1、内容空洞

对于PS一定要结合实例来写，用例子来展示自己的能力，对所申专业的热爱等。而很多申请人写出来的美国大学文书PS，很多是陈述自己有哪方面的能力，对专业很有兴趣，有学习的能力，动手能力强，把这些个人特点放到文章中，却没有下文，来支持上面的论点，毫无说服力。

一篇好的美国留学申请文书PS是用例子来充实的，申请人的优秀品质和能力也是通过例子向读者展示的，而不是简单的列举出来。

2、主次不分，没有逻辑

很多申请人写出来的美国大学文书PS，让人看了之后分不清主次，不知道作者主要想表达什么意思，也看不出来作者有什么能吸引人的地方。

3、啰嗦，语言不够简练

美国硕士留学申请中，很多同学写的美国留学申请文书PS语言都不够简练，认为写的多效果好，而事实远非如此。

适当的运用感叹句或语气词容易让读者形成共鸣，但在一篇美国大学文书PS中，反复出现这样的句子，尤其是相似的句子就显得矫情了，更不能打动读者。

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

’For Knowledge Itself Is Power’. This is one of my favorite precepts and at this point in my life when I am about to complete my graduation and my future spreads in front of me like a dream， this adage has never influenced my life more than this before.

Knowledge and proper training are essential to succeed in today＇s highly competitive world. The best place where I can achieve this is in the United States of America - the undisputed leader in developing new products and processes. Not only is America the birthplace of my chosen field of study， it has also nurtured it for it＇s full growth and continuous development. To achieve my goals， I want to pursue a Master＇s program in Computer Science. It is the ideal way for me to gain the knowledge and skills to stand tall as a computer professional.

During my undergraduate studies， I acquired a comprehensive knowledge of computer hardware in all its complexity. I also learnt of diverse software and their applications. The highly dedicated teaching staff of my college taught me the various concepts involved in the field of computer engineering. Some of the subjects I studied were computer graphics， computer methodology and algorithms， logic circuits， principles of communication engineering， C programming， object oriented programming as well as programming using different tools.

I take a keen interest in Networking and Database Management Systems. As a part of my final year curriculum， I am working on a project with one of the India＇s finest web-site designing companies - MicroGiga Info. Sys. Ltd. The aim of the project is to create a web-site. The web-site， called ＂Jobs4All＂， aims to provide the user with a job depending upon his qualifications. Various database concepts＇， programming scripts and the maintenance of a server are some of the features included in our web-site. Some of the products and tools used are ASP scripts， Java scripts， Microsoft Access ＇97， Personal Web Server， etc. I am also interested in System Programming. For this very reason， I have selected Compiler Construction as the elective subject for my final year.

There is truly no end to learning， as this has become a world where a constant addition to abilities is the key to growth in a dynamic world. I am fortunate to belong to a family that places a high value of education. I have been given all the encouragement and facility to develop my talents and interests. I have completed several courses in public speaking and leadership training. Sports， music and reading also fill my life. I was also one of the organizer＇s for the Open Software competition in TECHNOMANIA ＇98， which is an inter-college festival annually， organized annually by my college. I am also an active participant in various events held in other institutes.

I seek to fulfill my goals in an environment that encourages creativity and motivation. I feel confident that the staff and facilities in your institute will provide me with such an environment. I am well aware of the demands of studying in the more competitive American environment. I am certain that I am mentally and physically competent to succeed at your school. I am basically a hard working and a sincere person. My enthusiasm and urge to excel will help me to make the best use of every learning opportunity.

In conclusion I would like to say that the knowledge gained from 4 years of engineering has provided me with a solid foundation. This will certainly help me in my desire to specialize in my chosen field. My country India has a thriving software industry. I aim to study abroad and return with the skill and competence to find my mark and be a vital part of this booming， futuristic industry. I assure you of my sincerity， dedication and hard work.
