出国留学申请中的课外活动可以加分吗

　如今，出国留学的人数是与日俱增，相对于的竞争也越来越大，那么除了提高自己的硬性条件之外，还有哪些东西可以为自己的申请加分呢?那就是课外活动，下面就让我给大家介绍一下吧。

　随着申请自费留学的人越来越多，名校录取率日趋走低，越来越多的学生认识到，在校成绩(GPA)和标准化考试成绩(托福、雅思、GRE、GMAT、SAT、AP等)之外，课外活动的重要性凸显。在学业成绩和语言成绩同样优秀的申请人中，有个性的课外活动经历成为了国外名校录取学生的重要依据。关于课外活动也就是背景提升，学生有很多的疑问和误区。

申请留学的课外活动到底是什么意思?shengxueli.com

　这个可能跟咱们国内传统上对于课外活动的理解不完全一样，内涵更广泛。过去咱们说到课外活动基本上立刻想到的是作为学生干部做的事情，或者是学校组织的一些活动等，内涵比较狭窄。国外有一个叫做，extracurricular activities，顾名思义就是超出课堂课程以外的活动，形式有很多，学业相关的、演讲比赛、慈善筹款、辩论赛、艺术活动表演、体育竞赛、社团活动、自然探索、科研实践等等，凡是跟自己的兴趣、特长以及对社会有益的都可以是课外活动，留学行业常常简称为“EA”——不是学校说的那个early admission。

　 哪些国家留学看重课外活动?

　就教育的本质而言，任何教育体制对于课外活动都是很重视的，因为教育不止于课堂教育和考试，也理所当然要包括通过其他教育形式和活动来塑造和提升人的性格、品格、能力、审美等等。中国的教育观念其实也很重视课外活动对于学生成长的影响，只是在知识传授和考试分数与课外活动的平衡之间，更倾向了前者，而西方国家的教育相对更加平衡。在留学申请的时候，如果按照国家来说，美国是最注重课外活动的;按照申请的学历层次人群来说，对于课外活动的立足点和要求有区别，比如申请博士的人，毫无疑问要去展现更多的科研活动经历和潜力。

国外大学看重哪些课外活动?

　当为了课外活动而课外活动的时候，人是痛苦的。所以，很多学生和家长会问，到底国外大学看重什么样的课外活动呢?咱们就准备什么样的课外活动。虽然想法很功利，但是可以理解。究竟有没有这样的指南呢?即使问哈佛大学的任何一位招生官，TA也没法回答你，而多半会告诉你，我们需要学业优秀而且有个性的学生，也就是说，希望除了你是学霸，还希望你与众不同。哎，这就难了。

　 课外活动如何做到个性化?

　申请书目前只有部分出国留学的学生需要写，因为只有部分国家要求学生准备申请书。接下来和来看看出国留学申请书写作模板介绍 留学生申请有哪些加分项？

　 英文范文

　Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies， economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. Though more and more companies built， management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning field in China， so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management in England.

　The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs. As a young girl， it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures， and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. My mother was also involved in business as an accountant， helping him with simple calculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I， also， would someday be able to enter the realm of business.

　With the time of growing up， I preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered. Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.

　As a high school student in China， I had to concentrate on the College Entrance Examination （CEE）， even so， books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June， 2001， I was so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in the department of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms， I realized that I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At that moment， I lost my direction and objectives.

　My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter of fact， I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American， and some books about management by Peter ker. I began to notice something interesting： Why some companies can produce more than others？ Why some company can sell more than others？ Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties？

　With the questions in my mind， I started to read many relevant books. I was lucky to read the book “Jack： Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch， in Which John A. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company. When I was a junior， I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. I should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop. From this， my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed， definitely I was increasingly interested in what I was doing. By December， 2003， I had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge， I strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.

　Fortunately， as a senior， I began by conducting an internship in the Architecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months， I worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system， which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries. The experience showed me that management is much more important than that of I thought in big companies. After graduation， I continued my work in this company. In May， 2005， the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes， they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas I mentioned.

　During the short period of training， I realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster， with its excellence in management， represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challenging environment， I can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success. With this in mind， I hereby submit my application， and await your favorable reply.
