成功的申请可以帮助你按自己的条件进入最合适的学校，是不可忽视的一项，个人简历是反映一个申请者自身情况的材料。国外绝大多数的学校都要求申请者提供，并作为审查批准入学的重要依据之一。

个人简历的英译很多，如"personnel vita"、"autobiographical statement"、"personal statement"、"autobiography"、"resume"。其中"resume"写法稍有不同。个人简历一般应简要写明本人所受教育、专业兴趣、工作经历、所取得的成绩及家庭背景。

有关个人简历写作的注意要点。综合各校的要求，特做如下分析：
1. 个人简历的结构可分为三或四个段落。第一段落简单交待自己的个人情况，如姓名、出生时间及地点、家庭背景等。良好的家庭教育对你的成才当然有利。但美国对此不很重视，一般可以不写。第二段可以围绕你的求学经过来展开，但不要用流水帐式的写法使叙述过于生硬刻板。第三段以你的大学生活为主，你为何选此学科，可以与前面的叙述相呼应。第四段要说明你个人的能力、性格。
2. 内容要着重在你留学的动机，目前所取得的成绩，你终生的目标。
3. 个人简历避免过多的形容词，例如，想象力十分丰富、创造力超群等，宜举小小的例子来说明。
4. 个人简历约200－300字为可，不宜写得太长。
