最近一名年僅17歲，叫做Martin Altenburg的男生成為世界的焦點(diǎn)。而之所以Martin同學(xué)能夠一躍成名，是因?yàn)樗闪顺Ｇ嗵偈崭顧C(jī)，在2023申請(qǐng)季中囊括了哈佛大學(xué)、普林斯頓大學(xué)和耶魯大學(xué)在內(nèi)的所有8所院校的Offer。你以為這樣就結(jié)束了?他收割名校Offer的腳步并沒有停止，同樣的斯坦福大學(xué)、麻省理工大學(xué)、加州理工大學(xué)以及芝加哥大學(xué)等等TOP20名校都向Martin同學(xué)拋出了橄欖枝。

　　Martin Altenburg就讀于北達(dá)科他州的一所高中。Martin之所以能夠成為常青藤收割機(jī)和他全能學(xué)霸的身份密不可分。Martin在被譽(yù)為美國高考的大學(xué)入學(xué)考試ACT中取得了35分的高分(總分36)，同樣的他還參加了新SAT考試，獲得了1510(總分1600)。但是Martin并沒有使用SAT作為申請(qǐng)成績。同時(shí)他還在科學(xué)領(lǐng)域有著極大的興趣，在高二暑假他還參加了又MIT組辦的一個(gè)選拔項(xiàng)目。

　　其實(shí)開封錄取同時(shí)并或者自己被8所常青藤院校錄取還有一段小插曲。再次之前，Martin已經(jīng)接收到3所常青藤院校的錄取通知。上周四當(dāng)Martin正在科學(xué)奧林匹亞禁賽的返程大巴上，他決定開封剩余的5所常青藤院校的通知信。于是奇跡就一而再再而三的發(fā)生了。直到最后一份來自耶魯大學(xué)錄取信被打開，，整個(gè)大巴上的小伙伴們都驚呆了看著8所常青藤院校院校Offer加身的Martin。

　　我們知道除了出眾的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試成績、良好的綜合能力以及活動(dòng)和獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。想要獲得院校，尤其是像常青藤院校的青睞，申請(qǐng)文書則是一項(xiàng)至關(guān)重要的材料，IDP君可以毫不夸張地講，在一定程度上申請(qǐng)文書能夠決定你的錄取與否。

　　IDP君上文中介紹了Martin同學(xué)不僅是一個(gè)對(duì)于學(xué)科有深度興趣的學(xué)霸，同時(shí)也是運(yùn)動(dòng)狂人。而他在Common Application中的主文書就和自己的運(yùn)動(dòng)息息相關(guān)。Martin不僅擅長長跑、田徑和游泳。并完成了一項(xiàng)橫穿美國的“鐵人三項(xiàng)”。在這一場(chǎng)“阿甘式”長跑中，Martin在想什么?同樣地帶著這樣的疑問，Martin將自己在長跑中閃現(xiàn)過自己腦中的想法描述在自己的申請(qǐng)文書中。申請(qǐng)文書怎么寫？>>> 免費(fèi)咨詢

　　Martin Altenburg文書賞析 

My favorite time to run is at night.

This particular run in early August brought a break to the humid, muggy weather I left on the East Coast. I used my body as a human psychrometer, knowing that the cold feeling of evaporating sweat signaled much needed dry air.

I cross over the bridge into Minnesota. Out of my three sports, cross country is definitely my worst — but I continue to be hooked on it. Unlike swimming and track, my motivation to run is heavily intrinsic. I live for the long runs I take on by myself. While they rarely happen during our season, we were assigned a long run to complete over our first weekend of cross country. In reality, I was supposed to go six miles, but felt eight gave me more time to explore the home I had just returned to. My mind begins to wander as I once again find my rhythm.

My train of thought while running is similar to the way one thinks in the minutes before sleep — except one has more control over how these thoughts progress and what tangents they move off of. While special relativity would be the "proper" thing to think about, especially at MITES, I revive the violin repertoire I had turned away from for so long and begin playing it in my head. I'm now at the edge of town in between the cornfields. The streaming floodlights on the open road give me a sense of lonely curiosity, reminiscent of the opening lines of Wieniawski's first violin concerto. I come up with adaptations of the melody in my head, experimenting with an atonality similar to Stravinsky's.

I turn south onto a highway heading towards downtown. The dark night sky is broken by the oncoming light pollution. While I've longed for a road trip across the country, the neon lights from Sunset Lanes will have to do for Las Vegas. Turning west, I see a man and perk up as I try to look more menacing than I really am. But I relinquish. I realize that I did such an act simply because of the color of his skin. I kick myself for reverting to passive racism — something I spent much of the summer trying to overcome.

The bridge over Main Avenue leads me back into North Dakota and downtown Fargo. My city is on the eve of its annual pride week — the largest in North Dakota. Beyond the rainbow flags lining downtown, I see the Catholic cathedral I attend every Sunday outside of the summer. The juxtaposition brings back memories of trying to come to terms with my own beliefs. The conservatism on my mom's side of the family often clashes with the more liberal views of my dad's family. Fargo is known for its "nice" attitude, but the discussion of controversial issues is often set aside in favor of maintaining peace. On the surface this can be good, but it makes change a long and cumbersome process, and has caused me to become very independent in finding my own belief system — something especially difficult when these beliefs may have to do with your future identity.

The remaining part of my run is short and uneventful. The fact that the traffic lights have switched to blinking yellow and red means that I have been out later than usual. When I get home, I find that my run took somewhere around an hour — I honestly don't care about time during my distance runs. Longs runs are often seen as a runner battling the distance rather than time. But for me, long runs are a journey — both physically and mentally. Each time I run a route, I understand my surroundings and city more and more, and couldn't be more excited and sad to know that I'm leaving this place in a year's time.
