哥伦比亚大学是位于美国纽约曼哈顿区的世界著名私立研究型大学，截止2017年共有96位诺贝尔奖得主在哥大学习或工作过，居世界第三位。哥伦比亚大学拥有世界一流的法学院、商学院、医学院、新闻学院等，本文将带来的是成功申请该校医学院公共卫生专业的文书一篇。本文胜在有新颖的故事和清晰的组织，在没有专业背景支持的条件下，申请者有意识地提到在文化分析上能促进公共卫生研究的技能和其他相关实习。这篇文书有不少地方值得跨专业学生学习借鉴哦~

范文：
Paragraph One: For twenty-three years, my grandmother (a Veterinarian and an Epidemiologist) ran the Communicable Disease Department of a mid-sized urban public health department. The stories of Grandma Betty doggedly tracking down the named sexual partners of the infected are part of our family lore. Grandma Betty would persuade people to be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, encourage safer sexual practices, document the spread of infection and strive to contain and prevent it. Indeed, due to the large gay population in the city where she worked, Grandma Betty was at the forefront of the AIDS crises, and her analysis contributed greatly towards understanding how the disease was contracted and spread. My grandmother has always been a huge inspiration to me, and the reason why a career in public health was always on my radar.
这是一个引人入胜的开场白——讲述了身为兽医和流行病学家的申请者奶奶的故事，避免了大多数文书关于童年梦想的陈词滥调。这个故事巧妙地表明，鉴于艾滋病研究在公共卫生领域的重要地位，申请者从小便耳濡目染，对公共卫生有了初步的认识。
Paragraph Two: Recent years have cemented that interest. In January 2012, my parents adopted my little brother Fred from China. Doctors in America subsequently diagnosed Fred with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). My parents were told that if Fred’s condition had been discovered in China, the (very poor) orphanage in which he spent the first 8+ years of his life would have recognized his DMD as a death sentence and denied him sustenance to hasten his demise.
继续讲述另一段与家庭健康有关的轶事。2012年，申请者父母收养的中国小孩患了杜氏肌营养不良症，这件事同样激起了申请者对公共卫生的兴趣。申请者在这里可以把此事对自己的影响明确写出来。
Paragraph Three: It is not right that some people have access to the best doctors and treatment while others have no medical care. I want to pursue an MPH in Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia because studying social factors in health, with a particular focus on socio-health inequities, will prepare me to address these inequities. The interdisciplinary approach of the program appeals to me greatly as I believe interdisciplinary approaches are the most effective way to develop meaningful solutions to complex problems.
通过一二段的铺垫，阐述“我”的想法——希望在哥伦比亚大学进修医学硕士学位，并解释“我”选择跨学科学习的原因。
Paragraph Four: My undergraduate education has prepared me well for my chosen career. Understanding the underlying structure of a group’s culture is essential to successfully communicating with the group. In studying folklore and mythology, I’ve learned how to parse the unspoken structures of folk groups, and how those structures can be used to build bridges of understanding. For example, in a culture where most illnesses are believed to be caused by witchcraft, as is the case for the Zande people of central Africa, any successful health intervention or education program would of necessity take into account their very real belief in witchcraft.
这一段将自己的本科学习和实践技能与公共卫生联系在一起，这里举了中非赞德人将巫术与疾病联系在一起的例子，展示了申请者在公共卫生研究领域的独特能力。
Paragraph Five: I now work in the healthcare industry for one of the largest providers of health benefits in the world. In addition to reigniting my passion for data and quantitative analytics, working for this company has immersed me in the business side of healthcare, a critical component of public health.
这一段落简短地讲述了“我“在医疗保健行业的相关工作经验。基于申请者的学术背景主要是基于社会科学，申请者强调了自己在数据和定量分析上的锻炼，来弥补这一方面的不足。
Paragraph Six: I intend to pursue a PhD in order to become an expert in how social factors affect health, particularly as related to gender and sexuality. I intend to pursue a certificate in Sexuality, Sexual Health, and Reproduction. Working together with other experts to create effective interventions across cultures and societies, I want to help transform health landscapes both in America and abroad.
最后一段谈未来计划和目标。这一段重复的语句太多(intend重复使用)，且对申请公共卫生博士学位这一目标的强调不够明确，显得有些乱。结尾还需加强。
