The College Essay: Why Those 500 Words Drive Us Crazy
A) Meg is a lawyer-mom in suburban Washington, D.C., where lawyer-moms are thick on the ground. Her son
Doug is one of several hundred thousand high-school seniors who had a painful fall. The deadline for
applying to his favorite college was Nov. 1,and by early October he had yet to fill out the application. More
to the point, he had yet to settle on a subject for the personal essay accompanying the application.
According to college folklore, a well-turned essay has the power to seduce (诱惑) an admissions committee.
“He wanted to do one thing at a time,” Meg says, explaining her son’s delay. “But really, my son is a huge
procrastinator (拖延者). The essay is the hardest thing to do, so he’s put it off the longest.” Friends and
other veterans of the process have warned Meg that the back and forth between editing parent and writing
student can be traumatic (痛苦的).
B) Back in the good old days—say, two years ago, when the last of my children suffered the ordeal (折磨)—a
high-school student applying to college could procrastinate all the way to New Year’s Day of their senior
year, assuming they could withstand the parental pestering (烦扰).But things change fast in the nail-biting
world of college recent trend toward early decision and early action among selective
colleges and universities has pushed the traditional deadline of January up to Nov. 1 or early December for
many students.
4 C) If the time for heel-dragging has been shortened, the true source of the anxiety and panic remains what it
has always been. And it’s not the application itself. A college application is a relatively straightforward
questionnaire asking for the basics: name, address, family history employment history. It would all be
innocent enough—20 minutes of busy work—except it comes attached to a personal essay.
D) “There are good reasons it causes such anxiety,” says Lisa Sohmer, director of college counseling at the
Garden School in Jackson Heights, N.Y. “It’s not just the actual writing. By noweverything else is already
set. Your course load is set, your grades are set, your test scores are set. But the essay is something you can
still control, and it’s open-ended. So the temptation is to write and rewrite and rewrite.” Or stall and stall
and stall.
E) The application essay, along with its mythical importance, is a recent invention. In the 1930s,when only one
in 10 Americans had a degree from a four-year college, an admissionscommittee was content to ask for a
sample of applicants’ school papers to assess their writing ability. By the 1950s, most schools required a
brief personal statement of why the student had chosen to apply to one school over another.
F) Today nearly 70 percent of graduating seniors go off to college, including two-year and four-year
institutions. Even apart from the increased competition, the kids enter a process that has been utterly
transformed from the one baby boomers knew. Nearly all application materials are submitted online, and the
Common Application provides a one-size-fits form accepted by more than 400 schools, including the
nation’s most selective.
G) Those schools usually require essays of their own, but the longest essay, 500 words maximum, is generally
attached to the Common Application. Students choose one of six questions. Applicants are asked to describe
an ethical dilemma they’ve faced and its impact on them, or discuss a public issue of special concern to
them, or tell of a fictional character or creative work that has profoundly influenced them. Another question
invites them to write about the importance (to them, again) of diversity―a word that has assumed magic
power in American higher education. The most popular option: write on a topic of your choice.
H) “Boys in particular look at the other questions and say, ‘Oh, that’s too much work,’” says John Boshoven, a
counselor in the Ann Arbor, Mich., public schools. “They think if they do a topic of their choice, “I’ll just
go get that history paper I did last year on the Roman Empire and turn it into a first-person application
essay!’ And they end up producing something utterly ridiculous.”
I) Talking to admissions professionals like Boshoven, you realize that the list of “don’ts” in essay writing is
much longer than the “dos.”“No book reports, no history papers, no character studies,”says Sohmer.
J) “It drives you crazy, how easily kids slip into clichés(老生常谈),”says Boshoven. “They don’t realize how
5 typical their experiences arc. ‘I scored the winning goal in soccer against our arch-rival.’‘My grandfather
served in World War II, and I hope to be just like him someday.’ That may mean a lot to that particular kid.
But in the world of the application essay, it’s nothing. You’ll lose the reader in the first paragraph.”
K) “The greatest strength you bring to this essay,” says the College Board’s how-to book, “is 17 years or so of
familiarity with the topic: YOU. The form and style are very familiar, and best of all, you are the
world-class expert on the subject of YOU ... It has been the subject of your close scrutiny every morning
since you were tall enough to see into the bathroom mirror.” Thekey word in the Common Application
prompts is “you.”
L) The college admission essay contains the grandest American themes―status anxiety, parental piety (孝顺),
intellectual standards—and so it is only a matter of time before it becomes infected by the country’s culture
of excessive concern with self-esteem. Even if the question isostensibly (表面上) about something outside
the self (describe a fictional character or solve a problem of geopolitics), the essay invariably returns to the
favorite topic: what is its impact on YOU?
M) “For all the anxiety the essay causes,” says Bill McClintick of Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, “it’s
a very small piece of the puzzle. I was in college admissions for 10 years. I saw kids and parents beat
themselves up over this. And at the vast majority of places, it is simply not a big variable in the college’s
decision-making process.”
N) Many admissions officers say they spend less than a couple of minutes on each application, including the
essay. According to a recent survey of admissions officers, only one in four private colleges say the essay is
of “considerable importance” in judging an application. Among public colleges and universities, the number
drops to roughly one in 10. By contrast, 86 percent place “considerable importance” on an applicant’s
grades, 70 percent on “strength of curriculum.”
O) Still, at the most selective schools, where thousands of candidates may submit identically high grades and
test scores, a marginal item like the essay may serve as a tie-breaker between two equally qualified
candidates. The thought is certainly enough to keep the pot boiling under parents like Meg, the lawyer-mom,
as she tries to help her son choose an essay topic. For a moment the other day, she thought she might have
hit on a good one. “His father’s from France,” she says. “I said maybe you could write about that, as
something that makes you different. You know: half French, half American. I said, ‘You could write about
your identity issues.’ He said, ‘I don’t have any identity issues!’ And he’s right. He’s a well-adjusted, normal
kid. But that doesn’t make for a good essay, does it?”

what baby boomers knew.
51. In writing about their own experiences many applicants slip into clichés, thus failing to engage the reader.
52. According to a recent survey, most public colleges and universities consider an applicant’s grades highly
important.
53. Although the application essay causes lots of anxiety, it does not play so important a role in the
college’sdecision-making process.

SectionC仔细阅读
The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in
higher education isn’t an either/or proposition(命题), although the current emphasis on preparing young
Americans for STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) -related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also asserts
that the study of the humanities (人文学科)and social sciences must remain central components of America’s
educational system at all levels. Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our
democratic society, become innovative（创新的)leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the
reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides.
56. What does the latest congressional report suggest?
A) STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.
B) The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance.
C) The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students’ spiritual life.
D) Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.
