根據(jù)《美國(guó)留學(xué)快報(bào)》的報(bào)道，受CAAS聯(lián)盟申請(qǐng)系統(tǒng)的影響，今年通用網(wǎng)申Common Application做了一些變化，除了是界面更美觀，還提前開(kāi)放了系統(tǒng)，多增加了一個(gè)性別身份選擇。這些小細(xì)節(jié)是CA為申請(qǐng)人考慮，更人性化的設(shè)計(jì)。我們逐一看看這幾個(gè)變化。

1. 提前開(kāi)放，且不清空去年的申請(qǐng)賬戶信息

通常，CA會(huì)在6-7月間清空往年所有申請(qǐng)賬戶的信息，并把網(wǎng)站關(guān)閉一段時(shí)間，然后在8月1日重啟啟動(dòng)。而今年CA不會(huì)關(guān)閉或清理舊賬戶，并且提早開(kāi)放了系統(tǒng)，目的是為了讓很多早申請(qǐng)(申請(qǐng)ED, EA, REA)的同學(xué)，提早著手申請(qǐng)流程，熟悉網(wǎng)申系統(tǒng)。畢竟，精準(zhǔn)、細(xì)致、無(wú)缺漏地填寫CA的各種表格，是一個(gè)技術(shù)含量大、耗時(shí)、耗力的任務(wù)。

2. 性別一欄，增加一項(xiàng)填寫

往年的性別只有male和female之分，而今年CA系統(tǒng)增加了一欄文本欄(Text Box)，讓申請(qǐng)人自己描述性別。這和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的進(jìn)步和包容有關(guān)，比如有些做了變性手術(shù)的學(xué)生，他們可以在這一欄填自己想成為的那個(gè)性別(雖然和我們大部分出國(guó)黨無(wú)關(guān)，但這一細(xì)節(jié)真的體現(xiàn)了社會(huì)的進(jìn)步，CA的進(jìn)步)

3. 今年新增48所高校使用CA系統(tǒng)

在原有的700多所成員院校的基礎(chǔ)上，今年將會(huì)有48個(gè)優(yōu)秀的大學(xué)新加入CA的龐大隊(duì)伍。這些新成員來(lái)自美國(guó)22個(gè)州，以及5個(gè)除美國(guó)之外的國(guó)家。其中有11個(gè)屬于美國(guó)公立學(xué)校，26個(gè)美國(guó)私立校，和11個(gè)國(guó)際學(xué)校。以下是部分新成員的名單：

Bard College at Simon's Rock

Dean College

Indiana University-Bloomington

Massachusetts College of Art and Design

Ohio University

Paul Smith's College

St. Andrews University

University of Alabama at Birmingham

University of Bridgeport

University of Wisconsin-Madison

Western Illinois University

Baylor University

Middle Tennessee State University

以上是變化，不變的是文書題目，依然和去年一樣是下面5個(gè)，申請(qǐng)人任選：

1. Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, please share that story.

2. The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

3. Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?

4. Describe a problem you’ve solved or a problem you’d like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma-anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.

5. Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.
