最近,備受備受關(guān)注的John Locke論文競(jìng)賽終于公布了2024年的題目,讓今年的選手們瞬間緊張起來。John Locke Essay Competition(約翰·洛克論文競(jìng)賽)是備受"爬藤"學(xué)生關(guān)注的熱門競(jìng)賽之一,其比賽結(jié)果備受美國(guó)名校認(rèn)可,是含金量非常高的寫作競(jìng)賽。每年暑期,該競(jìng)賽吸引了全球最擅長(zhǎng)思考和寫作的中學(xué)生參賽,獲獎(jiǎng)選手不乏被哈佛、耶魯、普林斯頓、斯坦福、牛津、劍橋等名校錄取的成功案例。
對(duì)于文科學(xué)生來說,該競(jìng)賽是展示寫作能力的絕佳平臺(tái);對(duì)于理科學(xué)生來說,也能體現(xiàn)文理兼修的一面,因此都具有參加的價(jià)值。John Locke Essay Competition是完美留學(xué)導(dǎo)師們比較推薦的一個(gè)文科類競(jìng)賽。去年被耶魯錄取的學(xué)員參加了JL的哲學(xué)和心理學(xué)競(jìng)賽,并獲得了獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng);今年獲得芝加哥全獎(jiǎng)錄取的學(xué)員也獲得了JL神學(xué)全球一等獎(jiǎng)。
該比賽引領(lǐng)學(xué)生去探索七個(gè)學(xué)科分類的問題,包括哲學(xué)、政治學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、歷史、心理學(xué)、神學(xué)、法律和Junior組別。這為學(xué)生提供了廣泛的學(xué)科選擇,讓他們可以在自己感興趣的領(lǐng)域展開探索和寫作。
