美國本科三大申請系統
考慮到大部分學生和家長對于這三個系統并不熟悉，我先把這三個系統的基本情況做了一個總結，請參考以下表格：
一般情況下，我們在會優先把公共申請系統和加州系統的主文書先完成，即一篇650字文書+4篇350字文書，因為幾乎所有的學生都會需要完成這幾篇文書內容，先做出來肯定能派上用場，再看看聯合申請系統里面的學校有沒有自己確定要申的，如果有，再完成那篇主文書。
關于八大項文書材料注意事項和準備時間，請參考以下表格：
表格里面的完成時間是一個常規推薦完成進度安排，每個學生根據自己的情況肯定都會有所調整，關于最后一項內容「學校報告」，可能有部分家長學生未曾了解，可以參考我之前的推文——美國大學怎么考察申請學生的高中質量。

在之前留學咨詢工作中，總會有學生和家長問「什么樣的文書是好文書」，「某某學校喜歡什么樣的學生」之類的問題，說實話這些問題都很難有標準答案，總結建議：
1. 以自己為主，先不要考慮學校的問題，
2. 好文書的三個層次：語言有美感、看得出段落層次的鋪陳設計；有故事情節，有情感支撐；有深刻的思想內涵引起讀者的思考和啟示。
3. 早點開始準備，文書比你想象中更費時間。
