Cosmopolitan, hospitable, and thoughtful are three characteristics that reflect the environment at Barnard College. Barnard belongs to New York City, a vibrant heart that immerses students in American culture. As an international student, I am often asked why I came to America to study. In addition to the opportunities that an American education provides, what drive me to study in a foreign country are the new cultures as well as all the possibilities to stretch myself. Barnard offers experiences that allow me to continue this journey and develop my interests. I look forward to New York City as an extension of the classroom.
During my recent interview, I experienced the heartfelt hospitality from my interviewer and others. The strength of this feeling led me to apply to Barnard as an early decision applicant. Initially, as I walked on campus for the first time, I didn’t know where the admissions office was. The students that I encountered along the way were quite willing to help me, despite their own busy schedules. My current high school is a small one, too. For me, close ties and the feeling of community are really important. I felt that same emotion at Barnard.
With its Foundations curriculum, Barnard cultivates a new generation of young women who not only focus on technology but also pay attention to creativity. Technology may be updated or replaced, but students are benefited by thinking innovatively, historically, and internationally. I want to join their ranks!

开放包容、热情好客、思辨求新——这三重特质完美诠释了巴纳德学院的校园氛围。坐落于纽约这座跃动着美国文化脉搏的活力之都，巴纳德为国际学生提供了无限可能。每当被问及为何选择赴美留学，除了优质的教育资源，我更渴望在文化碰撞中突破自我边界。而巴纳德正是能延续这份成长旅程、滋养多元兴趣的沃土，在这里，整座纽约城都将成为我的延伸课堂。
最近参加校园面试时，招生官与师生们真挚的待客之道令我动容，这份温暖甚至促使我毫不犹豫地选择了早申。记得初次探访时，我在校园里迷了路，即便行色匆匆，路过的学生仍主动停下脚步为我指路。目前就读于小型高中的我，格外珍视紧密的社群联结，而巴纳德恰让我重获这份归属感。
通过独具特色的"基础课程"体系，巴纳德致力于培养既精通技术又富有创造力的新时代女性。技术终会迭代更替，但创新思维、历史视野与国际格局将使学子终身受益——这正是我渴望加入的卓越阵营！
Pick one woman --- an historical figure, fictitious character, or modern individual --- to converse with for an hour and explain your choice. Why does this person intrigue you? What would you talk about? What questions would you ask them?

When mentioning a powerful woman, we often picture a tomboy in a suit who yells to push everyone around. However, Song Mei-ling was the opposite of this stereotype. She was a seasoned politician and diplomat who contributed to the mutual understanding between China and America and helped secure victory in WWII. She maintained elegance and grace for her entire life. Often donning a flowery Cheongsam and having gorgeous long hair, she addressed the houses of the US Congress while supporting her family. Her accomplishments reshaped my image of feminism and that is why I admire her so much.
In this precious hour, I want to consult with her about how she struck a delicate balance between work and life. I want to know how she handled her work while keeping grace. She would be able to teach me and show me so much. In the last ten minutes or so, maybe I could ask her about her college years in the States, what she learned from great books and knowledgeable professors, and her friendships with fellow girls. From her gentle and kind words, I would gain the strength to be the woman I want to become.

当人们提起女强人时，脑海中常浮现出西装革履、呼来喝去的假小子形象。但宋美龄彻底颠覆了这一刻板印象——这位促成中美相互理解、助力二战胜利的成熟政治家与外交家，终其一生都保持着优雅风范。她常以一袭绣花旗袍与如瀑长发的形象亮相，既能在美国国会慷慨陈词，又始终是家族的精神支柱。她的成就重塑了我对女性力量的认知，这正是我如此敬仰她的原因。
在这珍贵的一小时里，我想请教她如何在工作与生活间取得精妙平衡。渴望了解她是如何在运筹帷幄的同时，始终保持着从容优雅的风度。她定能给予我无尽的启迪。最后十分钟，或许我会问及她在美国的大学时光：从经典著作与博学教授那里获得的智慧，与同窗少女结下的情谊。她温柔而睿智的话语，必将赋予我成为理想女性的力量。
