In my younger years, people often told me that I have “an amazing mind.” When I first learned to play the piano, I soon unveiled the secrets of harmony as the ratios between note frequencies. When I watched a dance performance with my parents, I could not help sharing my finding with them, that the pulsating movements were nothing but twisting numbers. Perhaps now I am no longer into those childish acts anymore, but I feel an ever-stronger intimacy with mathematics, something that is destined to accompany me for the rest of my life.

Due to the rigid higher education system in China, I was assigned to Computer Science major when I was admitted by X. However, this did not prevent me from actively experiencing the charm of math. I was exhilarated by the ingenious method that estimates algorithm complexity before it is actually executed. Discrete Mathematics and Linear Algebra became two new favorites of mine, which have empowered me with modeling tools from graph to intrinsic vector. The only setback, I realized, was that most engaging topics were never fully covered by professors. So I audited Differential Equation and Complex Analysis, which were reserved solely for the math major. This turned out to pique my intellectual curiosity some more.

Eventually, my interests in math became unstoppable. Though with my accomplishments, I earned the rare qualification to enter the medical school, I did the unthinkable and forfeited the opportunity by the first week of sophomore year. The choice was easier said than done, and I suffered from significant pressure from family, friends, and teachers. However, I have made up my mind and decided that my life would never be complete without spending some fruitful years with my true passion.

One of the few options available to me is to transfer to a college in the United States. After pondering for a long while, I believe it is the right choice. American universities boast superior educational resources, such as full-fledged libraries and comprehensive journal databases, all of which will help a scholar immensely in her journey toward the ultimate truth. Being an independent thinker and innovator, I also look forward to sharing my ideas with exceptional peers from all over the world, and we may even work together to illuminate unexplored frontier of human knowledge. In the meantime, I aspire to attain holistic development, taking advantage of the extra freedom, and striving to relate my learning to practice. A concrete academic pursuit like this will serve as the foundation of a promising business career, where the quantitative methods I acquire at school can benefit thousands, or even millions.

留学文书译文（机翻）：

在我年轻的时候，人们经常告诉我，我有一颗“神奇的心”当我第一次学习弹钢琴时，我很快就揭开了和声的秘密，即音符频率之间的比例。当我和父母一起观看舞蹈表演时，我忍不住与他们分享了我的发现，脉动的动作只不过是扭曲的数字。也许现在我不再喜欢那些幼稚的行为了，但我对数学有了一种越来越强烈的亲密感，这注定会伴随我的余生。

由于中国严格的高等教育体系，我被X录取时被分配到了计算机科学专业。然而，这并不妨碍我积极体验数学的魅力。我对这种在实际执行之前就估计算法复杂性的巧妙方法感到兴奋。离散数学和线性代数成为了我的两大最爱，它们使我拥有了从图形到内在向量的建模工具。我意识到，唯一的挫折是，大多数引人入胜的话题从未被教授们完全涵盖。所以我审核了微分方程和复分析，这是专为数学专业保留的。这又激起了我对知识的好奇心。

最终，我对数学的兴趣变得势不可挡。虽然凭借我的成绩，我获得了进入医学院的罕见资格，但我做了一件不可思议的事，在大二第一周就失去了这个机会。这个选择说起来容易做起来难，我承受着来自家人、朋友和老师的巨大压力。然而，我已经下定决心，如果不带着真正的激情度过一些硕果累累的岁月，我的生活就永远不会完整。

我仅有的几个选择之一是转到美国的一所大学。经过长时间的思考，我相信这是一个正确的选择。美国大学拥有一流的教育资源，如完备的图书馆和全面的期刊数据库，所有这些都将极大地帮助学者走向终极真理。作为一名独立的思想家和创新者，我也期待着与来自世界各地的杰出同行分享我的想法，我们甚至可以共同努力，照亮人类知识的未经探索的前沿。同时，我渴望获得全面发展，利用额外的自由，努力将我的学习与实践联系起来。像这样具体的学术追求将成为一个有前途的商业职业的基础，在那里，我在学校学到的定量方法可以造福数千人，甚至数百万人。

AADPS老师文书点评：不同与常规申请的留学主文书，转学文书会显得更加程式化一些。素材的分配非常重要——Common文书里不能把所有的材料都一股脑用完，导致在学校特定的文书里无话可说。如果申请者是一个比较有特色的孩子或者想强调一下与欲转入专业的联系，开头这种白描式的手法是我所推荐的，可以在不多的篇幅中把转学的动机引入进来。毋庸置疑，很多转学生可能在原来大学走过种种弯路。对此我一般的建议是把复杂的故事讲简单。毕竟文书的650词说多不多，招生官对于每个个案花费的时间和精力也十分有限。在申请材料的准备中如何取舍，展现出哪一面，不分散乃至误导招生官的注意力，确实是一门艺术。

家长感言：孩子本科上的不是很顺利。在尝试转学的过程中跟上一个中介沟通不好，很感恩遇到了AADPS，帮他顺利过渡到了人生的下一个里程碑。
