2、All Ed.M. applications are required to respond to the following prompt (250 words):
The mission of the Harvard Graduate School of Education is to prepare education leaders and innovators who will change the world by expanding opportunities and outcomes for learners everywhere. Please tell us how you will contribute to the vibrant HGSE community and help advance the mission.
文书思路建议
录取的很多学生都是教育上的理想主义者，自带改善教育问题的使命感和责任心，文书方面不妨往这个方向上多挖掘一下
更多地聊一聊你所申请的项目和你过往经历、你的研究/职业追求的匹配之处，要具体而实际地阐述：哈佛的课程、资源能对你的学业和未来发展提供什么样的支撑。绩点、标准化考试成绩、过往经历和奖项只是入围的敲门砖，但是不要忽略一点，你要呈现在审阅你的材料的人面前的最重要的一点，不是【我足够优秀配得上哈佛】，而是【哈佛的这个项目和我足够匹配，哈佛提供的资源能够支持我接下来的学术/职业发展和追求】，再说直白一点就是【哈佛配得上如此优秀的我】
申请心态很重要，哈佛不是你的朝圣地，也不是你人生的目标终点，哈佛应该以你为荣才对。
的确，教育学院的竞争相比起法学院商学院是没那么激烈，但教育学院同样有自己挑选学生的要求，HGSE community寻找的是有志于教育事业、有理想促进教育公平的人，而非流水线化的“精英"和“牛人”;而教育，也是需要有更多优秀的人来一起推动的公共事业。
最后，我认为我们在申请的时候，不必要局限于项目是好申还是难申，虽然这是一个重要的考虑因素，但不要被限制住，而更多地可以进一步思考:
.这个项目的特点是否契合我的个性?它是偏理论还是偏实践?
2.Faculty有没有我很喜欢的老师，ta的研究方向点燃了我的热情?
3.我未来要做什么?这个项目可以如何帮助到我?
4.我未来的同学会是什么样的?我会进入到一个怎样的communitya?
在不断地自我复盘并且对项目做研究的过程中，自己与项目的契合度和热爱度也会显现出来
