Michigan has been a top choice for me ever since I decided to pursue undergraduate education in America. It appeals to me because it is a place where I can experience the best business curriculum. As a student who plans to focus on Business Administration and Applied Mathematics in college and will pursue a business career after graduation, I found no better place than Michigan for me to realize my goal.

I will choose Mathematics as my college major, but my career goal is to follow my father’s suit and work in the business world after graduation. It was from a conversation with my father, an entrepreneur whom I admire very much, that I realized the importance of having strong quantitative skills in pursuing a business career. My father suffered from lacking employees with a good command of economic knowledge and quantitative reasoning while running his own company. From my dad, I received the inspiration to pursue an interdisciplinary study of business and math as an undergraduate.

While seeking American higher learning institutes with this in mind, the Ross School of Business attracted my attention and fondness, as it is one of the best business schools in the US and also offers a lot to undergraduates. I think that Ross has provided many successful leaders with the intellectual preparation for being part of future economic trends. Focusing on the practical side, Ross School of Business underscores action-based learning and exposes students to real-world challenges, thus providing a great place for me to accumulate hands-on experience. Also, because the art of modern business requires mathematics, social sciences, and other subjects as its foundation, I would probably spend my freshman and sophomore years in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts before applying to Ross.

As one of the top towns in the Great Lakes area, Ann Arbor boasts a superior living and learning environment, where my pursuit of knowledge would not be distracted, but where I could also have fun seeing America firsthand. Additionally, Michigan’s sports atmosphere attracts me, as many Chinese universities do not have much team athletic spirit. I love badminton, and would love to try out Michigan’s badminton club—many American universities do not have a badminton group, but Michigan does. I also want to engage in extracurricular activities such as debating and the concerts given by U of M classical groups.

I have decided to major in Mathematics or Business Administration and may consider pursuing interdisciplinary studies in my junior and senior years. Cross-departmental research opportunities for undergraduates will bolster my readiness for life after Ann Arbor. Envisioning a free, globalized world, I wish to make even the slightest contribution to the understanding of the flow of commerce, which could have long and substantial impacts. I think that the University of Michigan could give me the best preparation to go forward on this path.

留学文书译文（机翻）：

自从我决定在美国接受本科教育以来，密歇根州一直是我的首选。这对我很有吸引力，因为在这里我可以体验到最好的商业课程。作为一名计划在大学专注于工商管理和应用数学的学生，毕业后将从事商业生涯，我发现在实现我的目标方面，没有比密歇根州更好的地方了。

我会选择数学作为我的大学专业，但我的职业目标是效仿父亲，毕业后在商界工作。正是在与我父亲的一次谈话中，我意识到在追求商业生涯中拥有强大的量化技能的重要性。我父亲是一位我非常钦佩的企业家。我父亲在经营自己的公司时，缺乏掌握经济知识和定量推理的员工。从我父亲那里，我得到了灵感，在本科时开始从事商业和数学的跨学科研究。

罗斯商学院（RossSchoolofBusiness）是美国最好的商学院之一，同时也为本科生提供了很多课程，因此在寻找美国高等院校时，它吸引了我的注意和喜爱。我认为，罗斯为许多成功的领导者提供了知识准备，让他们成为未来经济趋势的一部分。罗斯商学院注重实践，强调基于行动的学习，让学生面对现实世界的挑战，从而为我积累实践经验提供了一个很好的场所。此外，由于现代商业艺术需要数学、社会科学和其他学科作为基础，我可能会在申请罗斯之前在文学、科学和艺术学院读大一和大二。

作为五大湖区的顶级城镇之一，安娜堡拥有优越的生活和学习环境，在这里我对知识的追求不会分心，但在那里我也可以亲身体验美国的乐趣。此外，密歇根州的体育氛围吸引了我，因为许多中国大学没有太多的团队运动精神。我喜欢羽毛球，也很想试试密歇根州的羽毛球俱乐部。许多美国大学没有羽毛球团体，但密歇根州有。我还想参加课外活动，如辩论和麻省理工大学古典团体举办的音乐会。

我已决定主修数学或工商管理，并可能考虑在大三和大四时进行跨学科研究。为本科生提供跨部门的研究机会将加强我对安娜堡之后生活的准备。展望一个自由、全球化的世界，我希望对理解商业流动作出哪怕是最轻微的贡献，这可能会产生长期和实质性的影响。我认为密歇根大学可以为我在这条道路上前进做最好的准备。

AADPS老师文书点评：对于篇幅比较长（400词以上）的Why文书，稍微展开一下自己希望参加的课外活动社团以及自身可能做出的一些贡献会是一个稳妥的思路。

家长感言：作为国内三线城市的国际部，我们在出国方面确实在信息不对称上吃了不少亏，所幸在申请上最终遇到了AADPS。老师们丰富的经验帮助我们少走了许多弯路。
