有的大学要让申请者非常深入的了解他们特别的一些学术专业资源，了解申请者自己的学习生活经历是否和学校的社群氛围相匹配；
有的大学也想要了解学生多元的背景，与众不同的人生经历，不一样的声音，为大学的多元包容群体贡献自己的一份力。
美国顶尖名校非常看重申请者在生活中与他人交流合作中的一些人生经历，往往是这些独特的人生经历和思想碰撞，改变了学生的思想和认知，内心有了一定的触动。而招生官也是非常想了解他们的申请者中独特的一些背景经历，以及这些经历中发生的哪些事情给予自己的影响。
那说到底申请者们该如何丰富自己高中阶段的经历呢？
如果想要达到这个目的，首先我们希望我们的学生和家庭是非常配合的，只有双方的积极努力和影响才能带动孩子全面的成长。
我们虽然是做申请指导，但更多的是把美国名校的高等教育前置，在高中阶段通过由浅入深的活动规划，帮助孩子去在学校内和课外生活中去历练，不畏挫折不畏失败，用创造性及批判性思维去审视周边发生的社会问题，坚定的朝着自己的目标前进。
所以，课外活动求精不求多，表现申请者个人经历是关键。
申请表中有34大类活动范围，但每个学生有自己的特点；如何去量体裁衣根据孩子的兴趣性格来筛选，同时搭配相应的资源让学生深入的去做自己想做的事情，这个需要经验丰富的导师们的引领和建议，为学生提供创造个性化的活动机会。
有了丰富的人生阅历，整理下面这些顶尖名校的文书内容，分分钟就能匹配相应的经历：
