每所大学都有自己的特色，青睐的学生个性和活动类型也有所不同。文书代表的是一个同招生官继续交流的机会，招生官要想判断学校与学生的契合度，很大程度上要靠补充文书。所以，抓住这个额外展现自己的渠道，就能为申请加分。

约翰霍普金斯大学优秀文书范文——作者 Ellie L

Entropy is the property that provides the basis for the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the universe naturally gravitates toward disorder. Its explanation comes from the idea that the universe prefers to conserve energy; because energy must be put into organization, everything around us is constantly descending into an increasingly complex state of chaos. Cheerful, I know. While it may seem like a concept worth forgetting – especially with its conviction about an imminent “universal heat death” – entropy has taught me far more outside of the classroom than in it. 

I, unlike the universe, have never been a very big fan of disorder. Admittedly, I worship the planner in my backpack, hate it when I have more than three unread emails, and am the designated pantry organizer of my household. I arrive dependably at school every morning half an hour early and have mastered the art of Marie Kondo’s file folding for each of my closet drawers. I have fallen in love with the idea of becoming a surgeon to dedicate my career to putting back together what has been broken –ordering the disorderly– and every organizational habit I have developed has been a microcosm of that passion.

However, life is often more unpredictable than might allow a color-coded spreadsheet to double as a crystal ball. When I am faced with a group discussion in which conflicting ideas create more questions than answers, or when I am rushing from track practice to a robotics meeting, worried about when to fit my homework in, I remind myself of the importance of entropy. 

For a system to be considered at equilibrium, entropy must actually be at its maximum. In order to be stable, everything must be marginally out of control. This applies just as much to life as it does to chemistry. The best stories I’ve written didn’t start with an outline, but with random phrases I’d jotted down in a notebook in a moment of epiphany. My favorite chemistry labs were exponentially disastrous as they progressed, teaching me more about error analysis than acids and bases. My most memorable class periods were the ones that started with a lesson plan but followed the curiosity of the class, taking us anywhere from the taxonomy of mermaids to hiking horror stories.

Entropy is also a measure of the changes in the status quo of a system. The more unpredictable the outcome of a reaction, the higher its entropy value. Although I love my orderly desktop and preprepared Spotify playlists for any mood, I embrace copious entropy and all that it represents, because I, too, want to be the unexpected in a world that expects the status quo. I want to defy predictions and make world-changing discoveries, increasing my entropy as my impact tends limitlessly towards infinity. Though I don’t expect it to be easy and may occasionally enlist the help of my planner and about a million colored pens, I take comfort in knowing that my intention to excel as a woman in STEM and a young adult dystopian novelist pleases the universe.

A high entropy value increases the chance for both failure and success; it is both the natural way of the world and the primary supplier of chaos. I welcome both with open arms, though chaos and failure still scare me. Now, when I am the only one in my class with a particular opinion on our book or am stressed about the caveats of a busy schedule, I take a deep breath and recognize the potential to thrive in it. I am supposed to exist in chaos. I can venture into uncharted territory and comfortably embrace the positive that lies in the unknown, sure that when that entropic feeling inexorably takes over and life gets messy, I’ll be ready. To feel out of control is not the end of the world, but the natural state of it.

招生官点评：

艾莉的文章巧妙地将熵作为延伸隐喻。通过它，我们看到了他们是谁以及他们渴望成为什么样的人。许多学生写下了他们希望实现的未来，例如专业、职业、影响或生活方式。虽然这可能告诉我们一些关于他们是谁的信息，但这些类型的文章通常将期望的结果作为论点，而不是作为我们了解申请人真正是谁的手段。艾莉的文章告诉了我们一些期望的结果，而没有牺牲过程中的自我反思。通过这个比喻，我们了解到了很多关于他们是谁的信息：他们愿意从错误中吸取教训，接受不可预测的事情，并推动现状。这些特质驱动着艾莉，并最终让我们更深入地了解他们，并看到他们与霍普金斯社区的匹配程度有多高。

自我点评

我坚信，文章中的个性比专业性更重要。我收到的关于这篇文章的最喜欢的赞美是，他们在阅读时能听到我的声音，这证明了这篇文章在多个层面上都是个性化的。我的建议是在写作时尽可能保持真实——真实是值得钦佩的！
