如何完成AIF?
滑铁卢大学提供了非常详尽的指南，帮助申请的学生完成AIF，网址如下：
滑铁卢大学一位工程系的教授在自己的博客上分享了他参与AIF评估的心得和建议，网址如下：https://profbillanderson.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/scoring-your-aif/
The Scoring AIF的得分(AIF的得分介乎0.5-5分之间，在结合你的高中平均分，因此，AIF每多得一分，评估你的录取参考分就会越高)。
So how do
Readers come up with their scores? Well, the most important thing to
realize is that the scoring is relative within the applicant pool. There
is no checklist or rubric, where if you match everything on it you will get a
5/5. Instead, you are being evaluated against the many other applicants
and given a score that shows where you stand. This score will be a
holistic combination of several factors, in the judgement of the Reader:评估因素
- Quality of the presentation: what is the writing and grammar like? Was there much thought and effort put into it? What is the overall impression it conveys?完成的质量， 着重考察：文笔与语法，是否用心完成和带给评阅人的感觉
- Purpose: does the applicant seem to have some realistic ideas and expectations about engineering, and why they are interested in pursuing it?（对工程专业和）是否有切合实际的理念和期望？为什么对申报的专业感兴趣？
- Commitment and engagement: are there things that suggest ambition, long-term commitment, high level achievement, leadership/responsibility, maturity, self-motivation, time management?是否有愿意付出长期投入的理想？材料如何体现申请人的领袖能力、责任心、身心成熟、自我激励和时间管理？
- Employability: are there indications of work, volunteer or other experience that will be helpful in getting the first co-op job? Is there evidence of activities requiring good interpersonal and communication skills?工作能力：是否有参加义工的经历？是否体现出良好的人际交往和沟通能力？
- Excellence:
is there evidence of significant achievements in one or more areas, such
as academics, sports, music, volunteering, business, etc.? 优秀程度：在学业、体育、音乐、义工、商科等方面是否有突出表现？
得分情况：
So, after
thinking about these factors and how the AIF compares with the hundreds of
others the Reader has reviewed, he/she picks a number from 0.5 to 5 to
represent their overall impression. Here is an example from past years of
the scoring results:
As you can see in the histogram, when we use a relative scoring
system the results are approximately Gaussian in distribution (which is what we
are aiming for). The majority of applicants score around 2.5 to 3.5 out
of 5, which represents the typical high school student applicant, with a few
awards and activities. Very few score a 5, which will typically mean a
provincial or national level award winner, or some other accomplishment that is
very rare. (A bunch of people scored 0.3, which means that they filled
out and saved some parts of the AIF but didn’t finally submit it. Many of
those probably withdrew their application before May anyways.) For
quality control, scores from various Readers are compared to ensure that they
are consistent.分数符合正态分布曲线，大部分同学的得分在2.5-3.5之间，滑铁卢的热门专业，是每分必争的。
Strategy 教授建议的回答策略
For those
who are filling out an AIF, there are a few things you can do to make the best
of it, even if you are not a national-level award winner.
- Space is limited,
so spend some time carefully crafting what you want to say and make it
meaningful to your personal situation. This is your one and only
chance to tell us about yourself. 认真思考，这个你唯一向滑铁卢展示学习之外的另一面的机会。
- Be sure to proofread for grammar, punctuation and spelling. A couple of minor errors won’t be disastrous, but why not make it perfect? Make it professional (after all, engineering is a professional program). Do not use texting language/spelling！ 检查语法、拼写和标点符号，体现出一个有职业素养的人。
- Use the space to highlight some key points about your activities, especially if there are uncommon things that the Readers might not be familiar with. (However, they are quite familiar with all the usual high school clubs and activities, so there is no point in trying to describe everything.)如果是不同寻常的活动，可以加以解释，但如果是比较常见的活动，不要作太详尽的解释。
- Ignore all those
online college essay suggestions, like telling us how you’ve wanted to be
an engineer since you were 7 years old and played with Lego. Keep it
believable, sincere and relevant to your own situation.不要去理会各种个人介绍的写作建议，什么你7岁就立志当工程师，喜欢玩乐高玩具（太俗了！！！）。 写出可信的、诚恳的和你的个人情况切实相关的内容。
下面是去年AIF中出现的可供申请学生自由发挥阐述自己学习外另一面的问题：
1. Reasons for choosing your program and Waterloo.
Please tell us about your educational goals, your interest
in your chosen program(s)m and your reasons for applying to the University of
Waterloo. If you have applied to more than one program, please discuss your
interest in each program. (900 characters limit)
解释选择某个专业和滑铁卢大学的原因，内容包括：你的学习目标、对所选专业的兴趣和选择滑铁卢大学的原因。如果选择多于一个专业，须针对每一个专业进行解释。篇幅：900字符（不是单词，而是字母、标点符号的字符）
2. Please describe or list any extracurricular activities or
areas of significant interest. These could include leadership or participation
in school organizations or projects, athletics, travel, community, social activities,
personal hobbies, and/or volunteer work.
介绍参加过的课外活动或感兴趣的领域，包括学校社团或项目（以领袖或参与者身份皆可）、体育、履行、社区活动、社交活动、个人兴趣爱好与义工。
3. Please list your
most significant part-time or full-time employment in the past 2 years,
beginning with the most recent. Note: If you have been away from school or
university for more than 2 years, in addition to completing this form please
mail a résumé to the Registrar's Office.
介绍过去两年间做过的全职或兼职工作。
4. Are there any issues or circumstances (e.g., medical,
personal, or financial) that may have affected your academic record? If YES,
please describe below. We are also particularly interested in the following
issues: repeated courses; a marked rise or drop in grades in one or more
subjects; sudden changes in performance; apparent shifts in academic goals.
介绍影响你的学业的环境因素（身体健康、个人原因或经济状况），解释课程重修或分数有显著区别的原因。
Discuss a book or a written article that you particularly
enjoyed or that has had an impact on you. preferably choose a book or article
that was not part of a course at school. (900 characters)
阅读兴趣：介绍一本你特别喜欢或对你有深刻影响的一本书或一篇文章，最好不是学校课程指定的读物（即课外读物）。
你希望让滑铁卢大学在评估你的申请时更加了解你的其它信息。
