A cover letter is to write an article about the applicant's past background, current achievements and future goals according to the requirements of the school during the application process. A successful cover letter should not only be fluent in language, but also be rigorous in logic and clear in level, which can fully display the talents of candidates and catch the attention of auditors. Almost all schools are required to submit cover letters.
The cover letter should include the following contents:
(1) The academic or professional interests and background of the applicant;
(2) the direction to be studied;
(3) Future career goals.
If the cover letter is well written, it can greatly improve the chances of applicants getting admission and scholarships. This is an excellent opportunity for the applicant. Unfortunately, many applicants devote themselves to the independent entrance examination, but the letter of recommendation is often done overnight, perfunctory, poor in content and full of grammatical mistakes. Universities recruit students independently, not only through traditional examinations to evaluate the qualifications of applicants, but also to listen to your evaluation of yourself and then decide whether you are the right person for them. When you introduce yourself through the application documents, you will find that the opportunities and challenges you face are equally huge.
To write a successful application document, it is not enough to have only those basic writing skills (clarity and conciseness) suitable for any writing type. A good application document requires the applicant to skillfully show his unique personality and experience in a completely different way from other applicants. This is a demanding and often complicated job.
"You are special, I am special, everyone is special, and everyone has their own way." This is part of a song that my daughter often sang when she was in Canada. This is also a belief that applicants should keep in mind if they feel helpless when writing application documents. Many applicants, especially young people, often say that they don't know what to write when writing application documents. They lamented that they had not done anything extraordinary in their ordinary lives for more than 20 years. If you think so, it's only because you haven't tried hard enough to fully examine yourself. Try this:
1. Analyze your personality and experience.
2. Distinguish, sort out and choose your own characteristics, experiences and achievements to meet the requirements and standards of school admission.
3. Put all these arranged information into a narrative structure.
4. Draft a persuasive article and highlight your characteristics. As long as you explore your life experience and inner world deeply enough, you will find that you are very special and special, in your own way.
The process of writing a series of application documents is a process of introspection. Successful applicants pay attention to the strategy of trying to distinguish themselves from those who have similar achievements, achievements, awards or life experiences. Although other applicants can write clearly and effectively, smart applicants win the competition by purposefully distinguishing themselves from others. This is where creative, purposeful and touching writing comes into play.

First of all, the cover letter should be prominent.
A good cover letter should include the following eight essential contents:
Educational background. What did you major in college? Why did you choose this major? What have you learned from years of professional study? What does it have to do with your choice of business administration research?
Work experience. What kind of position you have held, what achievements you have made in these years, what you have learned, and what is the relationship with your MBA.
Ability to organize social activities. What activities have you participated in or organized, what kind of work have you held, and what have you learned from it?
The most satisfying experience. What is the most satisfying work or study experience and how to do it well?
The most outstanding talent. What do you think is your most outstanding aspect, such as leadership, organization, communication or coordination?
Study plan and purpose. What is the study plan during MBA study? What is the relationship between MBA study and your career pursuit and career goals?
Reward. What kind of awards have you won? Have you ever been a teaching assistant? Have you ever published or won an excellent paper?
Special hobbies. Other things you need to explain or explain to the business school, such as your strengths and hobbies, or you need to explain to the business school in some way, such as your academic performance is not satisfactory.
At the same time, if you don't want your cover letter to be buried in the data pile of hundreds of applicants, you should pay special attention to the following four tips:
Don't ignore the cultural differences between East and West. China people always regard "modesty" as a virtue, and they should learn to be reserved even if they get good grades, while westerners not only pursue "superiority", but also are good at expressing. Therefore, when writing a cover letter, candidates must describe their own advantages without hiding, so that people can know your excellent aspects at a glance.
Full of personality. Although many MBA applicants have roughly the same experience, in fact, they still have many differences, such as their life background, academic and work achievements, skills and so on. Applicants should strive to highlight their unique achievements, abilities and advantages in a certain aspect in the cover letter. Avoid giving people the feeling of "sameness" and "mediocrity".
Be real. Americans attach great importance to a person's honesty. For example, if you apply for a visa, you can make any "mistakes". The only thing you can't do is lie to the visa officer. If the visa is refused because of lying, the success rate of re-signing will be very low. Because lying is a matter of personality. It is precisely because of this that Americans think that personal signature is more effective than seal. In order to ensure the authenticity of the applicant's materials, the business school even requires the applicant to sign every resume. Therefore, when preparing personal materials, applicants must pay attention to the authenticity of the materials.
Second, the personal statement requirements:
1. Please state your personal situation comprehensively, including personality characteristics, growth experience, etc.
2. What do you know about Huazhong University of Science and Technology? Explain the main reasons for choosing Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Personal statement:
Since I was a child, I should always be a good boy, cheerful and generous, optimistic and confident. I always try my best to study, work or get along with my classmates. Before I went to school, my mother attached great importance to my early intellectual development, and I always remembered her careful care and training for me. When I was about four or five years old, because my intelligence was higher than my peers, my mother took me to participate in the national famous "Zero Age Plan" program, where I met many "prodigies" of different ages, and I was full of admiration for them when I was a child. In fact, now that I think about it, I don't care much about the title of "child prodigy", but when I saw the video of "Zero Year Plan" and the certificate of child prodigy at home, the memories of "Zero Year Plan" made me happy from the heart. Such a childhood is undoubtedly beautiful.
From elementary school to junior high school, it should be a very smooth process, because I should be an out-and-out "Tongji person". Everything is so natural from Tongji nursery school to Tongji kindergarten, from Tongji affiliated elementary school to Tongji affiliated middle school. When I was in primary school, I was one of the first to join the team, and later I became the squadron leader and the brigade Committee. I will still think of the deeds of the "little leaders" in primary schools, and I will still be very grateful to the teachers and classmates at that time for their support. When I arrived at Tongji High School, I entered the Student Union in Grade One and served as the vice chairman of the Student Union in Grade Two. I have successively won the titles of "three excellent students at the municipal level" and "outstanding student cadres at the district level". What impressed me the most was participating in the district sports meeting and winning the seventh place in the women's shot put project. Before the middle school entrance examination, a group of outstanding students in the same grade got the recommended student qualification of No.11 Middle School, and they can enter No.11 Middle School as long as they pass a number of scores, so the last period of the third grade is not bitter. I scored 537 points in the senior high school entrance examination and entered the experimental class of science in No.11 Middle School, from which my high school career began.
