加州理工学院2024fall附加文书有哪些？

随着申请季的开启，加州理工学院2024fall附加文书已经发布，到底有哪些不同呢，让我们具体来看看吧！

Required Academic Question

Because of the rigorous courses in the core curriculum, Caltech students don't declare a major until the end of their first year. However, some students arrive knowing which academic fields and areas already most excite them, or which novel fields and areas they most want to explore.

If you had to choose an area of interest or two today, what would you choose? Why did you choose that area of interest? (Max: 200 words)

必答学术问题

由于核心课程的严格要求，加州理工学院的学生在第一学年结束前不会选择专业。然而，有些学生来到这里时，已经知道哪些学术领域让他们最感兴趣，或者哪些新颖的领域是他们最想探索的。

如果你今天必须选择一个或两个感兴趣的领域，你会选择什么?你为什么选择这个感兴趣的领域?(最多200字)

Required Short Answer Questions

1.At Caltech, we investigate some of the most challenging, fundamental problems in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Identify and describe two STEM-related experiences from your high school years, either in or out of the classroom, and tell us how and why they activated your curiosity. What about them made you want to learn more and explore further? (Min: 100/Max: 200 words for each experience)

2.The creativity, inventiveness, and innovation of Caltech's students, faculty, and researchers have won Nobel Prizes and put rovers on Mars. But Techers also imagine smaller scale innovations every day, from new ways to design solar cells to how to 3D print dorm decor. How have you been a creator, inventor, or innovator in your own life? (Min: 200 / Max: 250)

3.Caltech's mission – to cultivate learning, discovery, and innovation for the benefit of humanity – relies on its community members embracing fundamental Caltech values:

Openness and enthusiasm for having preconceptions challenged

Respect and appreciation for the idea that, while we are all members of the same community, the opportunities we've had to develop, showcase, and apply our talents have not been equal

Passion for the ideal that science can and should meaningfully improve the lives of others

Share what one or more of these values evokes for you. (Min: 200 / Max: 400)

必答简答题

1.在加州理工学院，我们研究科学、技术、工程和数学中一些最具挑战性的基本问题。找出并描述你高中时期的两次与STEM相关的经历，无论是在课内还是在课外，并告诉我们它们是如何以及为什么激发了你的好奇心。是什么让你想要学习更多，探索得更远?(每段经历最少100字/最多200字)

2.加州理工学院的学生、教师和研究人员的创造力、发明能力和创新能力获得了诺贝尔奖，并将火星车送上了火星。但老师们每天也在设想更小规模的创新，从设计太阳能电池的新方法到如何3D打印宿舍装饰。在你自己的生活中，你是如何成为一个创造者、发明家或创新者的?(最少100字/最多200字)

3.加州理工学院的使命——培养学习、发现和创新，造福人类——依赖于其社区成员信奉加州理工学院的基本价值观:

对挑战先入之见的开放和热情

尊重和欣赏这样一种理念:虽然我们都是同一个社区的成员，但我们发展、展示和应用自己才能的机会并不平等

对科学能够而且应该有意义地改善他人生活这一理想的热情

分享其中一项或多项价值观对您的启发。(最少100字/最多200字)
