各位大大好
我想要申請UPittsburgh的工業工程研究所碩士班，剛剛在瀏覽學校申請網頁時
發現了
https://oafa.pitt.edu/apply/admissions-process/international-students/
Letters of Recommendation
While we appreciate your teachers, counselors, and other mentors taking
the time to write recommendation letters on your behalf, we find letters
are beneficial in very limited circumstances (for example: providing
context for variance in your overall academic performance).
We recommend that you submit responses to the Short Answer Questions
and use that space to explain or clarify what most recommenders would
cover in a letter.
主要是要回答三個問題
Describe yourself
Describe why study in the U.S and at Pitt are good choices for you
Describe an experience where you had to adjust to a culture other than
your own.
想請問過去有申請UPitt的大大們，你們過去也有寫這些Essay嗎？
因為我看了過去的錄取的文章，似乎都沒有提到，不知道這是後來才需要的還是大學
本科生申請才要而研究所不用？
因此，我有點困惑是不是要寫？
