Cornell AEM 錄取通知書

我在2021年收到「康乃爾大學應用經濟與管理學碩士」的碩士錄取。

這個項目最特別的是，除了一般學校要求的履歷（CV）、申請文書（SOP）、推薦信，在你提交了Application form之後，還會收到一封關於Video Essay的邀請信，需要你在*四個工作日之內完成（時間可能每年會有變動）。

很多人文書修改了幾個月，Video Essay卻只匆匆忙忙地準備了兩三天，但我認為Video Essay的重要性不亞於SOP，這是評審委員第一次可以聽你的聲音，看你這個人的形象，直面了解你的個人特質的機會！

Video Essay是什麼？

Video Essay總共三題，每題有三分鐘的作答時間，問題唸完之後需要立馬作答，等於沒有思考時間。

錄製期間你可以提前按結束鍵，但我當年至少將每題作答在兩分半鐘以上，畢竟這也是一篇“essay”，我會盡可能展現自己的英語能力、表達能力、邏輯思維能力。

因為每題可以回答三分鐘，如果沒有充分準備，發現自己一下沒話說只能按結束就可惜了。

一聽到沒有思考時間，一定會讓很多人惶恐吧！

但慶幸的是，Cornell 的Video Essay是有題庫的，而且經過幾年的累積已經達到一定的數量了（追夢網上不定期有人分享），因此在實戰中通常都不會出現沒見過的題目。

今天我就是來分享「考古題題庫」👇👇👇

P.S 其他關於履歷（CV）、申請文書（SOP）、推薦信的準備，請參考我2021年時在Medium的這篇文章。

打星號（*）的問題是我自己在「實際測驗」中遇到的問題。
