选择入读AIC的原因

The reason why I chose to study in AIC

也许是天生比较喜欢挣脱条条框框的束缚，抑或是不愿在“一考定终生”的传统道路上逐渐变得茫然无措。从初二开始，我便有了出国留学的想法，在父母的带领下，我来到了AIC参加考试。在通过考试并对学校有了一定的了解后，我发现AIC是一个相对自由且快乐的应许之地，并由此决定了入读AIC。

Perhaps I was born to be free from rules and regulations, or I didn't want to become confused in the traditional path of "one exam is the end of life". Since my second year of junior high school, I had the idea of studying abroad, and with the guidance of my parents, I came to AIC to take the entrance exam. After passing flying colors and getting to know the school, I found AIC to be a relatively free and happy place of promise, and decided to enroll in the IBDP program.

与其他学校或相比，AIC的与众不同的地方

What makes AIC different from other schools.

AIC最让我感到惊喜的是课外活动的多样性。相对体制内的学校，AIC给了学生充足的机会参与不同的活动，这能够让学生的领导力和执行力获得大幅度的提升。同时，学院制度让我在学校内也有了归属感。此外，或许是因为学校的学生相较于其他国际学校来说较少，每个学生所获得的机会也更多，从而能够使得学生的能力均衡发展。

For me, the most surprising thing about AIC is the diversity of extracurricular activities.Compared to institutional schools, AIC gives students ample opportunities to participate in different activities, which allows students to improve their leadership and execution skills significantly. Also, the House system gave me a sense of belonging within the school. In addition, perhaps because the school has smaller class size, each student is given more opportunities to develop their abilities in a balanced way.

在AIC的CAS活动

CAS activities at AIC

我在AIC的课外活动主要在于参加IB课程的CAS（Creativity, Activity, Service）社团活动。在这些活动之中，我学到了很多不同领域的知识，懂得了如何主动走出舒适圈挑战自我，也提升了许多个人技能、收获了丰富的经验。这些课外活动在我升学的时候让我的简历丰满了不少，也给我的中学生活增添了浓墨重彩的一笔。

My extra-curricular activities at AIC were mainly in the CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) club activities of the IBDP program. Through these activities, I learned a lot about different fields, how to challenge myself out of my comfort zone, and improved my personal skills and gained a lot of experience. These extra-curricular activities have added to my resume and added to my secondary school life when I went on to higher education.

在AIC的学习与生活

Study and Life at AIC

亚加达国际预科录取故事 | 多国offer拿到手软, 多才多艺全面发展, Joey同学是怎么做到的?

我从PDP3开始在AIC就读，迄今为止已经有了四年的时间。可以说AIC给我提供了一个多元化的环境，让我有机会与来自不同地方、不同国家的同学们相互交流。同时，在AIC学习的四年里，我有了更多的课余时间探索不一样的生活。此外，劳逸结合的学习方式也给予了我充足的时间和机会，深入发掘我的个人潜力以及发现自己的天赋和兴趣所在。

I have been studying at AIC since PDP3 and it has been four years so far. I can say that AIC has provided me with a diverse environment, giving me the opportunity to interact with students from different places and countries. At the same time, during my four years of study at AIC, I have had more time to explore a different life after school. In addition, The balance of work and study at AIC gave me ample time and opportunity to explore my personal potential and discover my talents and interests.

亚加达国际预科录取故事 | 多国offer拿到手软, 多才多艺全面发展, Joey同学是怎么做到的?

在DP1时，我第一次作为leader成立了模拟青年经济论坛CAS（Model Youth Economic Forum）。我们在CAS time的时候一起学习由课堂向外拓展的经济知识，一同研究热点经济问题，并组织了财富流模拟投资游戏。同时，我也会把自己在学术营中学到的东西用讨论的方式分享给社团中其他的同学。在大家的积极探讨下，CAS的一切事宜都进行的很顺利。我们在这段时间学到了很多课外的知识，这也使我意识到了教学相长的重要性。

到了DP2，我与朋友们一起成立了ACBC商社（Alcanta College Business Club）并很荣幸地担任了社长一职。如大家所愿，我们在运动会上成功地策划并组织了义卖活动，并把所得利润捐赠给了广东狮子会爱阳光服务队，为偏远地区学生的学习增添了一把助力。

无论是社团还是义卖，都受到了老师和同学们的大力支持和积极配合，在此表达我最诚挚的谢意。

In DP1, for the first time, I was the leader in setting up the Model Youth Economic Forum (CAS). We spent CAS time together learning about economics from the classroom outward, studying hot economic issues together, and organizing a wealth stream simulation investment game. At the same time, I also shared what I learned at the academic camp with other students in the club in a discussion format. With everyone's active discussion, everything went smoothly in CAS. We learned a lot outside of the classroom during this time and it made me realize the importance of teaching each other. In DP2, I started the ACBC Business Club (Alcanta College Business Club) with my friends and was honored to serve as the founding president. As we had hoped, we successfully planned and organized a charity sale on Fun Day and donated the profits to the Guangdong Lions Love Sunshine Service Team, which helped students in remote areas to learn.I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the teachers and students for their support and active cooperation in both the club and the charity sale.

大学申请

University Application

我是多国混申，由于个人比较看重学校的专业能力和就读体验，我申请了世界各地的多所学校。专业方面我主要选择了商业分析、商业管理和市场营销。许是因为家庭氛围的影响和父母从小对我的熏陶，我一直对商科专业很感兴趣。由于我一直认为纸上得来终觉浅，于是我选择了在课余时间参加了很多与商科类有关的比赛和学术营，同时也自发地争取进入一些较大的公司进行实习。这些经历都让我逐渐地明确了自己未来的方向，并决定了学习商科专业。

I focused on the professionalism and experience of the school, so I applied to a number of schools around the world. For my major, I chose Business Analysis, Business Management and Marketing. Perhaps because of the influence of my family atmosphere and the influence of my parents since I was young, I have always been interested in business

majors. Since I always thought that I could never get a good job on paper, I chose to

participate in many business-related competitions and academic camps after school, and I also volunteered for internships in some larger companies. All of these experiences gradually made me clear about my future direction and decided to study business as a major.

申请准备

Application Preparation

我向大学提交的是IB的English B HL的分数以及多邻国的成绩，因此我并没有花费太多时间在准备托福和雅思上。但我认为，准备标化考试自然是越早准备越好，这样才能够避免在申请阶段所有事情都堆在一起的劳心费神，概括起来就是“先紧后松”。在我个人看来，提高分数的核心在于“量变引起质变”，平时多阅读英文原版书籍，尽量让自己用母语者的方式进行语言的习得，或是闲时看看美/英剧、听听英文原声书之类的都能够有助于提高分数。

I submitted my IB English B HL scores and scores from multiple countries to the

university, so I didn't spend much time preparing for TOEFL and IELTS. However, I

think it is natural to prepare for the standardized exams as early as possible so that you do not have to worry about everything at the application stage, which means "tighten up first, then loosen up". In my personal opinion, the core of improving

scores is "quantitative change leads to qualitative change". Reading more original

English books and trying to acquire the language in the way native speakers do, or

watching American/English dramas or listening to original English books in your spare time can help improve your scores.

申请文书

Personal statement

我的主要优势在于大量且多元化的活动奖项与实习实践方面。在个人文书中，我选择着重写了几个含金量相对来说较高的活动，其中包含了创业、实习、比赛、志愿者等多样化的经历。这些经历的核心都是围绕我所申请的商科专业展开，在表现我在商科方面的强专业性的同时，也展现了我较高的组织领导能力等特点。我认为在个人文书中，应该在运用实际事例体现自己长处的同时，辅以并强调自己在这些经历之中的收获，同时适当地展现自己对于所选择的专业领域上的兴趣及探索过后的认知，以此提高被录取的机会。

My main strengths are my numerous and diverse activities, awards, and internships.

In my personal statement, I chose to focus on a few relatively high value activities,including entrepreneurship, internship, competition, volunteer experience and other diverse experiences. The core of these experiences are all centered around the business major I am applying for, which shows my strong professionalism in business and also my high organizational and leadership skills. I believe that in my personal statement, I should use real-life examples to show my strengths, while complementing and emphasizing what I have gained from these experiences, and appropriately showing my interest in my chosen field of study and my perceptions after exploring it, in order to increase my chances of being accepted.

我在文书内提及了之前参与的一项创业项目。我认为学习商科最重要的在于把书本上的理论付诸于实践，在这个项目里我接触到了包括但不限于平台运营、商务洽谈、货物选品等一系列和现实商业有关的工作，并在创业的过程中凸显了我的优势，同时也提升了我的个人能力，让我更加坚定了选择学习商科。我认为以这种较为小众特别的个人经历作为文书的要点，更能够体现出申请者的特长，也能够充分彰显出对于所申请的专业的热情。

In my personal statement, I mentioned a previous entrepreneurial project that I was involved in. I think the most important thing in studying business is to put the theories in books into practice. In this project, I was exposed to a series of real-life business-related work, including but not limited to platform operation, business negotiation, product selection, etc. In the process of starting my own business, I highlighted my strengths and enhanced my personal abilities, which made me more determined to study

business. I think using this kind of niche and special personal experience as the main

point of the document can better reflect the applicant's strengths and fully demonstrate the passion for the major you are applying for.

工作或者实习经验分享

Internship experience sharing

可以说我参加过的与申请有关的工作和实习主要集中在DP1这一年里。令我印象最深的是暑期在广东金豆子数科的运营部实习的一个月。在这一个月中，我的主要职能是协助运营部工作的开展、负责部门宣传以及新媒体相关的运营工作。这段经历让我在短时间内积累了大量的实操经验，在一定程度上真正地了解到了一个成熟的公司是如何运转的，也赚到了我人生真正意义上的第一桶金。在这里也很感谢愿意提供给我这个实习机会的两位阿姨，和各个部门对我照顾有加的哥哥姐姐们。

The internships I participated in were mainly focused on the DP1 year. What impressed me the most was my summer internship in the operation department of Guangdong Golden Douzi Digital. During this month, my main function was to assist in the operation department, responsible for the department's publicity and new media related operation. This experience allowed me to accumulate a lot of practical experience in a short period of time, and to a certain extent, I really understood how a mature company works, and also earned my first bucket of money in the real sense of my life. I would also like to thank my two aunts who were willing to provide me with this internship opportunity, and my brothers and sisters who took good care of me in all departments.

当收到offer时的心情与抉择

Feelings and choices when received multiple offers

虽然目前还没有收到所有学校的决定（不得不说商科今年真的超慢，令人好等哈哈），但我很清楚的记得，在收到第一封offer的一瞬间，感受是在国际课程体系之中四年的不懈努力终于有了回报。基本上可以说是刹那间大脑一片空白，尔后是无尽的喜悦。大概就是孟郊《登科后》的那句，“春风得意马蹄疾，一日看尽长安花”。但很快我又清醒地认识到，虽然我拿到了offer，但升学路上仍是道阻且长。我应该将offer视作我在接下来的几个月内冲刺的动力，上下求索，直至最终换得一张完整的人生入场券。

在作出最后决定时，我会考虑到个人对于不同学校的好感度以及对未来的人生规划，并以这些作为主要依据来选择最终要去的学校。同时，我会考虑到我对专业的感兴趣程度，这样我才能确保我在未来几年内不会因为对自己选择的专业没有了热情而导致不愿继续付诸努力。此外，我也格外关注大学的学生满意度，我认为一个好的学习环境与生活环境能够让留学生活更加的顺利。

For now, I'm leaning towards the bmos program at the University of Western Ontario.

Although I haven't received decisions from all the schools yet (I have to say that business

is really slow this year, so it's good to wait haha), I clearly remember that the moment I

received the first offer, I felt that my four years of unremitting efforts in the international curriculum had finally paid off. Basically, I can say that my brain was blank for a moment, and then there was endless joy. But soon I realized that although I got the offer, the road to higher education was still long and difficult. I should consider the offer as my motivation to sprint in the next few months, and seek for the best until I finally get a full life ticket.

When making my final decision, I will take into account my personal preferences for different schools and my future plans for my life, and use these as the main basis for choosing the school I will eventually attend. I also take into account how interested I am in my major, so that I do not lose my enthusiasm for my chosen major and become reluctant to continue working on it in the coming years. I also pay extra attention to the student satisfaction of the university, as I believe that a good learning and living environment will make the study abroad life smoother.

家长分享

From Joey‘s parents

亚加达国际预科录取故事 | 多国offer拿到手软, 多才多艺全面发展, Joey同学是怎么做到的?

在AIC学习，我认为首先作息时间会比较符合自然规律，下午三点半放学，就可以自由地在操场上奔跑了，晚上晚修之后回到宿舍，还有一个多小时的自由休息时间。这样呢，能够在白天有充分的户外活动时间，对于视力是非常有好处的。而且每天有合适的社交，也是很有必要的。作为一个关注孩子身心健康的家长，对于AIC作息时间的安排还是很满意的。

AIC的学习与体制内的也不同，它注重探索型学习，批判性思维，平时作业也经常用写论文的方式，这和大学学习方式接轨，更容易适应大学的学习。同时，AIC给每个孩子以展现机会，通过课堂和各种活动，让孩子勇于展现自己，走上社会。

The work and rest time will be more in line with the natural rules at AIC. After school at 3:30 in the afternoon, students can run freely in the playground, in the evening time, when students return to the dormitory after the late study, they have an hour free time to take shower and relax. In this way, students can have sufficient outdoor time during the day, which is very good for their eyesight. And it's also necessary to have proper socialization every day. As a parent who is concerned about the physical and mental health of my child, I am satisfied with the schedule of AIC.

AIC focuses on exploratory

learning, critical thinking, and often writing essays for regular assignments, which is in line with the university learning style and makes it easier to adapt to university learning.At the same time, AIC gives each child the opportunity to express himself/herself in the classroom and through various activities, so that they are brave enough to express themselves and join into the society.

在孩子成长中，我感受最深的是PDP4时的选课。PDP4时孩子说快要选课了，我想最好学习设计专业吧，以后可以从事房屋设计或其他相关行业，设计类工作既不容易被取代，又符合她爱美的天性。可是孩子说想选金融类。我虽然不是很情愿，但毕竟以后学习的是孩子，选课当然要选孩子自己感兴趣的。我没有否定她的想法，也没有干涉她的选择，但是也不知走的路对不对，只是默默的焦虑。恰好不久之后，我开始学习占星，学到了占星择业这一块，看到孩子一八同宫，以后的职业道路是可以与商业，金融相关的，甚至还非常紧密。这下子我放下了心。过了不久，孩子又和我说，觉得自己更加喜欢做市场，这就更加符合她星盘里群星七宫的特征了。

由此，我不禁深深地感叹，如果没有外界很强的阻挠，每个人都会天生向着她应该发展的方向发展，顺着内心的向往，调整自己的方向，找到最适合自己的道路。

家长给孩子的帮助，在孩子小时候，给以尽量多的体验，体会，长大的时候，给她时间去沉淀，选择。这个可能是找到自我发展最适合的路径。

The most profound feeling I had was the selection of classes at PDP4, I thought it would be better for Joey to study design so that she could work in interior design or other related industries in the future. But Joey said she wanted to choose finance. Although I am not very reluctant, but after all, it is her learning in the future, so of course, Joey should choose the course that she is interested in. I won't deny and interfere her decision, but I didn't know if it was the right path to take, and I was just silently anxious. Soon after, joey said she likes to do the marketing. I found that everyone is born to develop in the direction they should, follow their inner yearning, adjust their direction and find the best path for themself.

Share more of your own experiences when your child is young, and give her time to settle down and make choices when she grows up. This is probably the most appropriate path to find self-development.

2019年春，孩子和我们来到了AIC参与了面试，隔着玻璃我看到了一个令我终生难忘的场景：她穿着米黄色的T恤，一只手指着自已一手在空中比划着，开心地笑着，好像正用英文向老师介绍自己，老师也在微笑着不断的点头，看得出老师也很喜欢她。我看到了孩子的自信也看到了孩子对AIC的喜欢，我想孩子在AIC必将迎来属与她的精彩，转眼四年将过，孩子果然如我所愿，阳光，自信，自律，开放，严谨，博学多才，好学专注，善良果敢且动手能力强，这正是一个优秀IB毕业生的素养。我们为她自豪，感谢AIC。

In the spring of 2019, my child came to AIC with us to participate in the interview. Through the glass I saw a scene that I will never forget: she was wearing a beige T-shirt, expressing something and smiling as if she was introducing herself to the teacher in English. The teacher was also smiling and nodding, and I could see that the teacher also liked her very much. I saw my child's self-confidence and her love for AIC. I thought my child would have a wonderful future at AIC. We are proud of her and thankful to AIC.

-----Joey's Father

我很庆幸，孩子遇到这样的一所学校，学校里会有这样一群优秀的老师。和来自世界各地的优秀的老师们共处，让孩子增长了见识，开阔了眼界。不用催促学习，在这样的优秀的人中自然会想变得优秀。学校里有序的学习和活动时间，让孩子能比较自由地安排学习、活动的时间，并进行适当的人际交往。这样才是一个正常的生活环境，不用时刻督促学习，这也让孩子体会到学习是自己的事。我与孩子均以IB课程学习而自豪。

I am very lucky that my child has met such a school with such a great group of teachers. Spending time with great teachers from all over the world has helped my child grow in knowledge and broaden her horizons. Without having to be pushed her study, it is natural to become active aspirant among such great people. Having a reasonably study and activity schedule at school, which allows children to have more freedom to schedule their study and activity time and to have appropriate interpersonal interactions. This is a healthy environment which allows the child to appreciate that learning is his or her own business. Both my child and I are proud of our IB course.
