UMN的推荐系统

刚提交推荐信的时候 发现UMN竟然需要提交两份文件 一份letter  一份 narrative information. 其中第二份的要求如下
Narrative

Please write a candid narrative evaluation of this applicant's qualifications that includes the following points:
Unique positive factors
Potentially negative factors
Comparative strength of record
Relevant research or other scholarly experience
Rigor and reputation of the undergrad college and major
Rank in class
Professional promise
Ability to express views orally and in writing
Ability to conceptualize and integrate knowledge
Any other factors or considerations that you think should be brought to the attention of the admissions committee

有木有童鞋遇到这样的情况  还要写这样一份干嘛 已申请过的同学怎么处理的
貌似和推荐信内容有重叠 但是又不完全相同 到底有什么区别
难道要一点一点回答。。。
