美国杜克商学院特点和文书题目的简单讲解.

　　申请美国知名商学院的MBA是很多中国职场人士的梦想，但是申请竞争一直非常激烈，因此许多申请人都必须在申请文书准备上更加用心，花费更多精力来展示自己的实力。

　　其实，文书是一个方面，另一方面是你对你职业生涯的规划：Is it now or later?为什么现在要去学MBA?为什么选择这所学校?这都是最最关键的问题。

　　以下，我们将针对美国顶尖的杜克商学院的特点和文书题目的简单讲解。

　　杜克的申请有三个关键点需要注意：

　　(1)强调global business sense，即国际化的背景多元和多种思维;

　　(2)强调teamwork，你和你的classmate必须有共通和呼吸;

　　(3)对课程的兴趣和选择DUKE的坚定，你一般可以选两个concentration。

　　1. Describe your vision for your career, your inspiration for pursuing this career path, and the role of The Duke MBA in achieving your goals. If you are interested in a specific concentration or joint degree program, please discuss in this essay. (1.5 spacing, no smaller than point 10)

　　(先讲讲自己人生到了这一步要MBA，然后规划下面3-5年发展。然后说为什么你的需求现在只有DUKE可以满足，注意上面三点，DUKE的项目有什么特点)

　　2. Discuss a person, event, or experience that has significantly shaped your life and explain why. (1.5 spacing, no smaller than point 10)

　　(某人，家庭和过往历史对你有什么影响和启发?这里要强调自己的团队合作精神，学习能力，克服困难等)

　　3. Individuals choose a business school for many different reasons. Through your research, what attributes or characteristics of The Duke MBA program have most resonated with you and why? How do you plan to contribute to the strengthening and enhancement of those attributes and characteristics during your time at Duke and beyond? (1.5 spacing, no smaller than point 10)

　　(还是上面三点，自己的需求是什么，有那一些地方需要提高，你准备如何利用DUKE的项目来提高自己，如leadership等)

　　Optional Essay (not required)

　　4. If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the Admissions Committee should be aware, please explain them here (e.g., unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weakness in your application). (1.5 spacing, no smaller than point 10)

　　(有什么要特别解释的?一般来说，我建议写自己的多元化背景的一个故事)
