得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校

The statement of purpose will provide an opportunity to explain any extenuating circumstances that you feel could add value to your application. You may also want to explain unique aspects of your academic background or valued experiences you may have had that relate to your academic discipline. The statement of purpose is not meant to be a listing of accomplishments in high school/college or a record of your participation in school-related activities. Rather, this is your opportunity to address the Admissions committee directly and to let us know more about you as an individual, in a manner that your transcripts and the other application information cannot convey.

这份目的陈述为你提供机会，说明任何你认为能为申请增加重要背景的特殊情况。你也可以介绍自己学术背景中的独特之处，或与所学领域相关、对你具有重要意义的经历。目的陈述并不是用来罗列高中或大学阶段的成就，也不是记录你参加过哪些校内活动。相反，这是你直接向招生委员会表达的机会，让我们以成绩单和其他申请信息无法呈现的方式，进一步了解作为一个独立个体的你。
