Pe scurt, dac\u0103 ai doar un minut: Filip Buscu, elevul nostru, a fost admis la Stanford. Am vorbit despre ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi g\u0103se\u0219ti pasiunea, de ce e important\u0103 rezilien\u021ba \u0219i de ce eseurile tale trebuie s\u0103 fie autentice, atunci c\u00e2nd aplici la facult\u0103\u021bi de top din SUA.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Se concretizeaz\u0103 deci o list\u0103 scurt\u0103 de institu\u021bii la care viseaz\u0103 elevi de peste tot.\u00a0Locuri prestigioase, cu rate de acceptare sub 4%, care par a fi rampe de lansare c\u0103tre un viitor de succes.<\/b>\u00a0Locuri \u00een care e absolut normal s\u0103 stai la cin\u0103 cu prim-mini\u0219tri, fondatori de companii evaluate la peste un miliard de dolari sau cercet\u0103tori care lucreaz\u0103 la cele mai dificile \u00eentreb\u0103ri ale umanit\u0103\u021bii.<\/p>

O m\u00e2n\u0103 de rom\u00e2ni intr\u0103 la astfel de facult\u0103\u021bi \u00een fiecare an.\u00a0Printre elevii no\u0219tri din ultima genera\u021bie admis\u0103 este \u0219i Filip, care \u00een august zboar\u0103 c\u0103tre Stanford.<\/b>\u00a0Am stat de vorb\u0103 cu el despre experien\u021ba lui \u00een liceu \u0219i procesul de aplicare prin care a trecut. Mai jos, trei \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103turi pe care le-am extras.<\/p>

Unu. Las\u0103-te ghidat de o pasiune puternic\u0103.<\/b><\/h2>

Filip \u0219i-a descoperit pasiunea pentru inginerie aerospa\u021bial\u0103 c\u00e2nd avea 5 ani. Nu \u0219tia pe atunci ce e aia ingineria sau cum func\u021bioneaz\u0103 exact un motor, dar \u00eei pl\u0103cea s\u0103 mearg\u0103 pe c\u00e2mp cu bunicul lui s\u0103 se uite c\u0103tre cer \u0219i s\u0103 analizeze avioanele care zburau.\u00a0<\/p>

\u00cel fascina faptul c\u0103 oamenii, mici \u0219i fragili cum sunt, pot s\u0103 ajung\u0103 at\u00e2t de sus, la propriu.<\/b><\/p>

\u00cen joac\u0103, a \u00eenceput s\u0103 construiasc\u0103 propriile modele care s\u0103 poat\u0103 s\u0103 zboare. Prototipuri de avioane mici, pe care s\u0103 le lanseze \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eencerce s\u0103 le men\u021bin\u0103 \u00een zbor. C\u00e2teva au zburat, altele s-au pr\u0103bu\u0219it. La un moment dat, a muncit c\u00e2teva luni bune de zile la un model. \u0218i apoi, s-a pr\u0103bu\u0219it aproape imediat.<\/p>

Atunci \u0219i-a dat seama c\u0103 trebuie s\u0103 \u00eenve\u021be ni\u0219te fizic\u0103 serioas\u0103 \u0219i ni\u0219te modele matematice complexe dac\u0103 vrea s\u0103 poat\u0103 s\u0103 lanseze corpuri \u00een orbite cere\u0219ti. Avea 13 ani \u0219i a hot\u0103r\u00e2t s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i ia pasiunea \u00een serios. S-a \u00eenscris la ICHB, unul dintre liceele de top din Bucure\u0219ti. Acolo a \u00eenceput s\u0103 pun\u0103 bazele teoretice ale modelelor practice la care visa.<\/p>

\u00cen timp, a ajuns s\u0103 lanseze sateli\u021bi \u00een spa\u021biu (detalii mai multe despre asta, mai jos), s\u0103 participe la concursuri interna\u021bionale \u0219i s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i urm\u0103reasc\u0103 pasiunea p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een California, \u00een cealalt\u0103 parte a lumii.<\/p>

Orice rezultat mare porne\u0219te de la o intui\u021bie ini\u021bial\u0103, o dorin\u021b\u0103 puternic\u0103 de a vedea ceva nou \u00een lume sau de a atinge un \u021bel pe care tu \u00eel consideri important.\u00a0<\/p>

Pentru Filip, \u021belul a fost zborul. Pentru tine, poate s\u0103 fie biologia marin\u0103, modelele genetice, poezia sau etica aplicat\u0103.\u00a0<\/p>

Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 faci parte dintr-o institu\u021bie prestigioas\u0103, ai nevoie s\u0103 identifici lucrurile de care \u00ee\u021bi pas\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 faci ceva \u00een sensul \u0103sta<\/b>. \u2018Ceva\u2019 \u00eenseamn\u0103, aici, o dedicare profund\u0103 c\u0103tre domeniul respectiv, un proiect pe care s\u0103-l derulezi pe parcursul mai multor ani \u0219i care s\u0103 creasc\u0103 odat\u0103 cu tine.<\/p>

Dac\u0103 nu \u0219tii de unde s\u0103 \u00eencepi \u0219i sim\u021bi c\u0103 nu ai g\u0103sit \u00eenc\u0103 o pasiune, am scris un articol despre asta. Cite\u0219te-l\u00a0aici<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

Doi.\u00a0Rezilien\u021b\u0103, rezilien\u021b\u0103, rezilien\u021b\u0103\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>

E una dintre tr\u0103s\u0103turile pe care facult\u0103\u021bile de top le v\u00e2neaz\u0103.\u00a0Rezilien\u021ba e important\u0103 pentru c\u0103 lumea \u00een care tr\u0103im o necesit\u0103.<\/b>\u00a0Aproape orice obiectiv ai avea, o s\u0103 existe momente \u00een care pare c\u0103 universul \u00ee\u0219i pune toat\u0103 greutatea \u00eempotriva ta. Momente \u00een care oamenii din jurul t\u0103u nu cred \u00een ideile tale, \u00een care calculezi gre\u0219it datele problemelor cu care te confrun\u021bi, sau \u00een care pur \u0219i simplu nu \u0219tii cum s\u0103 ie\u0219i dintr-o situa\u021bie dificil\u0103.<\/p>

Iar asta o s\u0103 se \u00eent\u00e2mple constant, at\u00e2t \u00een via\u021ba ta personal\u0103, c\u00e2t \u0219i \u00een cea profesional\u0103.\u00a0Rezilien\u021ba e de baz\u0103\u00a0\u00een\u00a0oamenii care ajung s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i \u00eendeplineasc\u0103 visele.<\/b>\u00a0Posibil, din cauza asta, s\u0103 fie o tr\u0103s\u0103tur\u0103 de caracter at\u00e2t de dorit\u0103 de facult\u0103\u021bile de top din str\u0103in\u0103tate.<\/p>

Filip a plecat de la o dorin\u021b\u0103 clar\u0103 \u2013 s\u0103 trimit\u0103 \u00een spa\u021biu primul satelit construit de c\u0103tre elevi de liceu din lume. De altfel, a fost \u0219i al doilea satelit rom\u00e2nesc lansat. P\u00e2n\u0103 s\u0103 ajung\u0103 acolo, a fost for\u021bat s\u0103 treac\u0103 prin multe provoc\u0103ri.<\/p>

La \u00eenceput, s-a chinuit s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 finan\u021bare. Dup\u0103 mult\u0103 munc\u0103, a reu\u0219it s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 un loc pe o nav\u0103 care trebuia s\u0103 fie lansat\u0103 \u00een spa\u021biu, numai c\u0103 nava n-a mai decolat. \u0218i deci, nici satelitul. Apoi, satelitul s-a dovedit a fi prea mare \u0219i prea greu, deci Filip \u0219i echipa lui au fost nevoi\u021bi s\u0103 se \u00eentoarc\u0103 la \u00eenceput, s\u0103 schimbe cu totul dimensiunile.<\/p>

Dup\u0103 multe c\u0103ut\u0103ri, au ob\u021binut, \u00een final, un loc pe o rachet\u0103 a unei misiuni\u00a0SpaceX<\/a>. \u0218i \u00eentr-un final, satelitul a ajuns \u00een spa\u021biu \u0219i a transmis primul semnal.<\/p>

Rezultatul a venit ani buni dup\u0103 momentul ini\u021bial al dorin\u021bei. Drumul \u00eentre aceste dou\u0103 puncte a fost m\u00e2nat de rezilien\u021b\u0103.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Dac\u0103 vrei s\u0103 ob\u021bii ceva de care \u00ee\u021bi pas\u0103 (\u0219i mai ales dac\u0103 e ceva greu de ob\u021binut), trebuie s\u0103 \u00ee\u021bi cultivi apetitul pentru \u00eencercare \u0219i abilitatea emo\u021bional\u0103 s\u0103 \u00eencerci din nou atunci c\u00e2nd te love\u0219ti de o barier\u0103.<\/p>

Facult\u0103\u021bile americane de top sunt con\u0219tiente c\u0103 drumul c\u0103tre succes implic\u0103 o serie inevitabil\u0103 de e\u0219ecuri, deci caut\u0103 aplican\u021bi care s\u0103 fi \u00een\u021beles \u0219i ei realitatea asta.\u00a0Dac\u0103 po\u021bi s\u0103 le ar\u0103\u021bi c\u0103 \u00een\u021belegi ce \u00eenseamn\u0103 s-o dai \u00een bar\u0103, s\u0103 te love\u0219ti de obstacole \u0219i totu\u0219i s\u0103 continui s\u0103 mergi, atunci \u0219ansele tale cresc considerabil.<\/b><\/p>

Trei. Eseurile cu care aplici nu trebuie s\u0103 fie perfecte. Trebuie, \u00een schimb, s\u0103 fie scrise \u00eentr-o voce autentic\u0103.<\/b><\/h2>

Aplica\u021bia la universit\u0103\u021bile de top din America include mult scris. Trebuie s\u0103 scrii un eseu general, pe care \u00eel trimi\u021bi la toate facult\u0103\u021bile la care aplici (\u201eCommon App Essay\u201d). Pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 el, fiecare facultate cere c\u00e2teva eseuri adi\u021bionale.\u00a0Dac\u0103 aplici la 20 de facult\u0103\u021bi, o s\u0103 scrii \u00een jur de 50 de eseuri.<\/b><\/p>

Mult\u0103 lume crede c\u0103 eseurile astea trebuie s\u0103 fie scrise perfect<\/b>. S\u0103 aib\u0103 un anumit ton, s\u0103 se foloseasc\u0103 de vreo anumit\u0103 metafor\u0103, s\u0103 bifeze c\u0103su\u021bele x, y, z.\u00a0Realitatea st\u0103 u\u0219or diferit.<\/b><\/p>

Facult\u0103\u021bile americane nu te provoac\u0103 s\u0103 scrii pentru c\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i doresc s\u0103 vad\u0103 c\u00e2t de bine st\u0103p\u00e2ne\u0219ti limba englez\u0103, ci pentru c\u0103 vor s\u0103 vad\u0103 cine e\u0219ti, mai \u00een profunzime dec\u00e2t notele tale \u00een teste sau activit\u0103\u021bile tale extracurriculare. Vor s\u0103 \u00ee\u0219i dea seama ce te motiveaz\u0103 \u0219i care sunt valorile tale. Vor s\u0103 fie martori la modul \u00een care observi tu lumea.<\/p>

Iar autenticitatea, a\u0219a cum \u00eemi spune \u0219i Filip, nu poate fi for\u021bat\u0103 sau ob\u021binut\u0103 rapid. Nu po\u021bi s\u0103 comanzi un eseu gata scris care s\u0103 te scoat\u0103 \u00een eviden\u021b\u0103.\u00a0<\/b>\u00cen schimb, trebuie s\u0103 treci printr-un proces \u00een care \u00ee\u021bi pui \u00eentreb\u0103ri serioase despre lumea din jur \u0219i cum te pozi\u021bionezi fa\u021b\u0103 de ea, despre cine e\u0219ti \u0219i ce \u00ee\u021bi dore\u0219ti de la propriul viitor.<\/p>

Rezultatul la care o s\u0103 ajungi s-ar putea s\u0103 nu fie \u201eperfect\u201d. Dar e al t\u0103u, \u0219i asta conteaz\u0103.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
