顶尖大学都在寻找“全面发展”的学生。这意味着，除了拥有符合他们要求的成绩和考试成绩外，您还必须在申请中展示其他才能和兴趣。强大的课外资料可以帮助你给招生官留下好印象。今天我们将为大家详细介绍课外活动的所有信息，并详细展示900多项课外活动列表。
什么是课外活动？
课外活动是你在校内课程之外所做的任何事情。这些可以包括学术竞赛、体育、音乐、社区服务活动、工作/实习、俱乐部等。课外活动将帮助大学最大程度了解你这个人：你关心什么？你有多投入？
重要的是要注意，并非所有的爱好都算作课外活动。例如，看电影或玩电子游戏之类的事情不会被计算在内。基本上，您为自己的娱乐而进行的娱乐活动并没有成功，因为课外活动需要一些共同努力并有助于您的个人发展。如果你创办了一个课外电影俱乐部，你和其他成员在那里观看并分析电影，或者决定利用自己的时间开发视频游戏，那么你可以将这些列为课外活动。
为什么课外活动很重要？
虽然大多数学校在某种程度上对课外活动感兴趣，但它们主要是对排名前 250 名的学院和大学尤为重要。这 250 所学校有太多具有学术资格的学生，因此课外活动可以帮助您脱颖而出。
竞争力较弱的学校，如大型公立学校或州立大学，收到的申请太多，以至于他们缩小了重点。通常情况下，课外活动在这里被搁置一边，因为更多的重点放在定量数据上，比如 GPA 和 考试成绩，因为这些对招生委员会来说需要更少的时间。
但是在简历上加入课外活动，无论你向哪里申请，都可以帮助你提交一份强有力的申请，帮助招生人员全面深入地了解你的类型。这可能会影响他们接受你进入他们大学的决定。全面的个人资料表明您对自己关心的事情充满热情和奉献精神，这两种品质都会使您成为他们学生群体的宝贵补充。
除了展示你的许多兴趣外，课外活动还可以帮助你建立对未来专业的承诺和兴趣。对于医学预科生来说尤其如此；你必须对这个领域表现出兴趣，所以在你的简历上有一个医疗俱乐部或医院志愿服务的机会，会表明你在这个方向上的主动性。其他例子是计算机科学专业的视频游戏俱乐部或编码比赛，或者为预期的心理学专业领导心理学俱乐部。
大学如何评价课外活动？
在 CollegeVine，我们将课外活动分为 4 个等级。
1、等级一
能够显示出非凡成就或领导力的罕见活动。
它们包括国家奖项或其他享有盛誉的成就。
2、等级二
比 等级一 更常见，但这些活动仍然展示了高水平的成就和领导力。
它们包括知名俱乐部和组织的领导职位、赢得地区比赛或在体育/音乐方面的成就。
3、等级三
缺乏 等级二 和 等级三 的区别，但仍然突出学生的兴趣。
它们包括知名俱乐部和组织的次要领导职位以及较小的运动/音乐成就。
4、等级四
招生委员会最常见和最常看到的。
它们包括一般俱乐部/体育/音乐会员资格和一般志愿服务。
你应该做多少课外活动？
申请时一般需要有 8 到 10 项课外活动。这听起来很多，但许多活动都是季节性的，因此可以在一年内进行三到四项运动。但是一定要注意，最重要的事情是质量而不是数量。尝试在一到两个领域中获得深度通常比在表面水平上做一堆事情要好。你当然可以从初入校时开始尝试很多东西，但坚持你真正喜欢和擅长的东西。这样你就会在你关心的事情上表现出真正的热情、奉献精神和进步。
