我一個美國朋友的工作是翻譯SOP, 我的essays都是他幫忙修改的。
把他安慰我的話 跟大家分享:
I'm sorry about Penn. On of the problems is that there are many Mainland students that go to very competitive cram schools for tests. Also, in my experience, most people lie about their accomplishments. (My experience is translating SOPs, remember.) I often got letters that said things like, "In the summer of my junior year, I had an internship for ABN Amro. They asked me to write for them an interface for online banking, and when I was finished, the boss was so impressed that he gave me a bonus..." What kind of a bank would hire an intern to write their online banking program!!! But I saw these kinds of lies all the time! Maybe the business schools believed them?
You are competitive. Sometimes it's just small crap that keeps you out.
大家加油!我們還是很棒的!
