안녕하세요. 찰스 온라인 클리닉 입니다. Summer Activity! 언제 준비 하시나요?
학교를 지원하는데 있어, Extra Curricular Activities는 시험 성적, 학교 성적 못지 않게 굉장히 중요한 활동 중 하나"라는 것을 모르는 학생들은 아마 없을것 입니다.
보통 가을, 겨울엔 12학년들에게 있어서는 레귤러 지원 응시에 최선의 노력을 다 할때이고, 10,11 학년들은 여름방학을 이용한 Summer Camp, Research program, Internship, Volunteer등 본인의 적성과 향후 입학대학의 전공관련 경험을 쌓기 위해 여러가지 생각과 아이디어를 짜 내는 시기 이지요.
여름에 Summer Activity 계획을 세우는것은 너무 늦습니다.
찰스샘의 학생들은 미리 겨울에 여름 계획을 짜고 스케쥴을 맞춰 놓습니다.
준비된자는 성공한다!
자~ 그럼 우리 함께 계획을 세워 볼까요?
대학은 미래를 위해 준비하고 투자한 경험 있는 지원자를 선호합니다.
본인의 의지로 원하는 일을 결정하세요.
친구가 한다고, 인기 있는 프로그램이라고 휩쓸려 하기보다, 소신을 갖고 철저한 계획 아래 스스로 즐길 수 있는 일을 실천한다면, 뿌듯한 여름으로 기억될 것입니다.
그렇게 하기 위해선 몇 가지 생각을 해야겠죠?
첫째, 나의 목표는 무엇인가? 둘째, 내가 즐길 수 있는 일인가? 등등...
Rising Senior 에게는 아이비리그에서의 섬머캠프나 인턴쉽을 추천하구요, Junior 에게는 각종 Competition 이나 자원봉사를 추천합니다.
자신의 흥미와, 앞으로의 전공 흐름과 일맥 상통해야 한다는 것. 잊지 마세요..
예를 들어 경영학과에 진학하고자 할 땐, 경영학과 관련된 인턴십이나, 리서치 활동, 봉사활동, 과외활동을 통해 본인이 얼마나 경영학 관심이 있으며, 학업에 열정이 있는지를 보여줘야 합니다.
그리고 그것을 바탕으로 에세이에 정성스레 담아야 합니다. 보통의 지원자들이 이것을 바탕으로 에세이를 쓰잖아요.
제가 전에 작성한 "미국 명문대 합격 TIP, 명품 에세이 작성법"에 예시를 둔
8개 아이비리그 대학에 모두 합격한 콰시에닌의 에세이처럼 말이죠.
그러므로 한두 달 전공 관련 과외활동을 했다고, 과외활동을 다 했다고 보시면 안되겠습니다.
고등학교 초부터 미리 전공에 대한 포부와 계획을 갖고 꾸준히 성과를 이룬 계획 있는 모습이 보여야 하겠습니다.
수천 명의 서류를 담당하는 입학심사관들도 이 지원서류가 지원자의 열정과, 꿈, 진정성이 있는 과외활동인지, 아니면 부록으로 따라온 액세서리 정도인지 한눈에 알 수 있을 테니까요.
대학에서 주관하는 유명 Summer camp는 보통 겨울 12월부터 시작해 5월사이이 접수를 받습니다.
학교마다 지원 시기가 다르니 해당 학교 홈 페이지를 꼭! 확인하세요.
지원 희망 대학에서 주관하는 여름캠프에 참여하는것도 굉장한 잇점이 될것 입니다.
