2024年个人留学申请书怎么写（通用7篇）
尊敬的考官：
您好!
很荣幸有机会向您呈上我的留学申请书。
我出生于一个教师之家，母亲是一位优秀的小学教师;父亲是也曾经是教师，后来经历了人生的第二次选择，考入法院，成了一名法官。父母对生活的热情和对人生挫折的态度，潜移默化地影响着我，形成了我自强不息、不轻言败的性格。
中考的教训，让我懂得了什么叫脚踏实地，什么叫不图虚荣，什么叫谦虚谨慎，什么叫取长补短……高中三年，我努力夯实学科基础知识、掌握学习方法、提高操作实践能力、同时，利用课余时间广泛地涉猎大量书籍，不但充实了自己，而且培养了自己多方面的技能。夷陵中学严谨的学风塑造了我朴实、稳重的学习态度，更重要的是在这样一个精英云集的地方，我学会了在竞争中挑战自我，在合作中欣赏他人。这样一步一个脚印走来，我尝到了成功的喜悦：成绩逐年上升，我看到了自己身上蕴藏着的无限潜能，它让我相信——如果给我一个支点，我也能撬起整个地球!
选择_大学我有以下几个理由：
一是_大学是一所国家教育部直属的，拥有研究生院，本科专业涵盖了理、工、文、经、管、法、教育等学科门类的综合性重点大学，是一所有着坚实的学术基础和严谨的治学传统，校园环境优美的大学。在这样的学习环境里，无论是在知识能力，还是在个人素质修养方面，我会受益匪浅。
二是_大学是一所以工为主的大学，这符合了我的学科兴趣，我是一个理科生，尤其以数学、物理学科见长，这次推荐我参加自主招生的就是我的数学老师和物理老师。我喜欢在这样自主开放的环境里学习，希望可以有更为广阔的发展前景。
三是_大学坚持以“厚基础，宽口径，强能力，高素质”的人才培养计划，在教学中注重创新能力培养，注重提高学生的综合素质，学校实施了一系列教学改革新措施包括：名师上讲台工程、中英文双语教学工程、“创新人才培养”工程、本硕连读制度等，还有一系列的完善学分制管理的制度，包括主辅修制、弹性学制、第二学位制、优异生培养制度等。
现在有很多的大学生毕业后面临就业难的问题，这也将是我今后不能回避的，但我想，这是一个适应社会的问题。大学是一个可以接触并尝试众多领域的独一无二的场所，是一个沟通社会的平台。我希望这里掌握生活技能，培养自己的社会角色，使自己能承担社会责任，权利和义务，成为一个真正的社会人。
现在的科技发展可谓日新月异，我的学习是要掌握最基本的学习工具和方法，将来利用这些工具和方法，再去学习新的东西。我们不可能靠在大学里学到的知识来维护一生的，以后如果不再学了，照样会落后，所以，本科读什么专业不能完全决定毕业后的工作方向。我希望根据我的学科特长，选择适合我的专业，但是我不会太在意专业的趋向，绝对服从学校根据我的情况进行专业调剂。
无论您是否选择我，尊敬的领导，希望您能够接受我诚恳的谢意!自主招生只是一次机会，无论这个机会是否垂青于我，我都不会气馁，我会全力以赴，备战高考，去迎接六月的彩虹(我的六月不是黑色)!
此致
敬礼!

有了目标就需要加倍的努力，这一过程是辛苦的，更充满收获的喜悦，因为我始终把学习当作一种快乐，能够充分享受获得知识的乐趣。带着渴求知识的愿望，我能够出色地完成校内课程，每次考试都能进入年级前十名。我还利用课余时间，主动参加化学竞赛和生物竞赛的培训班，并积极参加了北京市举办的各种化学、生物和物理竞赛，取得了较好的成绩。其中在化学竞赛中，获得北京化学会20_年和20_年北京市高中学生化学竞赛一等奖;在生物竞赛中，通过20_年五月的全国生物联赛笔试，进入实验复赛，并获得全国生物联赛省级赛区二等奖;在物理竞赛中，获得第三届全国高中应用物理知识北京赛区预赛一等奖、第二xx届全国中学生物理竞赛北京赛区预赛三等奖、第二十届北京市高一物理(力学)竞赛北京决赛三等奖、20__年全国高中应用物理知识竞赛三等奖。这些成绩虽然微不足道，却使我渴望成为_大学一名学子的梦想更加强烈，因为只有在那里我才能寻找到更多的学习的快乐!
丰富的课余学习一直是我高中生活中不可缺少的组成部分。化学是我最感兴趣的一门课程，其中的科学奥秘总能引起我的探究和遐想。我曾在学校的“t&s科技社团”两次举办题为“酸碱理论”和“分析化学基础”的讲座，博得了老师和同学的好评。利用学校的实验室，我对平时学习中的问题进行探究，在高一时完成了自己的第一篇科技小论文—《探究高锰酸钾在ph不同的环境中所体现的氧化性》，该论文荣获东城区青少年科技创新大赛二等奖。高二时，我参加了北京市科技俱乐部，在北京师范大学分析测试中心郑爱华教授和学校老师的辅导下完成了第二篇科技小论文—《海水阴离子含量测定与综合利用》，并在同年科技节中荣获二等奖。化学学习的不断进步增加了我的自信，使我进一步明确了前进的方向：我渴望自己将来在化学方面能够得到继续深造，并在化学研究领域取得成绩，而_大学就是我放飞梦想最好的地方。
我深知，现代化的人才应该是德智体全面发展。在担任学习委员和化学课代表的职务期间，我乐意为同学们解答问题，成为老师的好帮手。我积极参加学校组织的各种活动：酷爱羽毛球运动，与同学一起在学校创办了羽毛球社团，为喜欢羽毛球的同学提供了一个切磋球技的平台;积极参加学校每年举行的冬季长跑比赛和田径运动会，曾获得高中组长跑铜牌的成绩;踊跃参加学校组织的“西部助学行”活动，与当地学生签订了“共享同一片蓝天”的盟约，资助她的学习生活;高二寒假，参加本校与英国曼彻斯特教会学校st.monica的姊妹校的交流活动，受益匪浅。在思想上，我要求进步，多次参加学校的党课培训，并已提交了入党申请书。由于良好的思想道德和优异的学习成绩，在高一、高二年度，我都被评为学校和东城区的“三好学生”。我性格活泼开朗，乐观自信，被老师称为“阳光少年”，我渴望在_大学肥沃的绿地上做一株小草。

尊敬的_老师：
您好!提笔给您写这封信，真是需要一些勇气的。
从小在农村长大，使我更向往简单，纯实的状态和自然，和谐的环境。所以人民大学“明德博学，求实笃行”的校风和“群园幽然”的环境，正是我选择人大的原因。
我出生在一个教师家庭，祖辈和夫辈都从事着树人育材的事业，受家庭影响，我也希望自己将来从事一些教育，研究方面的工作。人文社会科学是研究社会发展演进的学科，可以通过对社会规律的正确认识知道社会变革，当前中国正处在一个大变革的时代，我希望自己将来的工作可以为这个过程尽一份绵薄之力。
我的小学和初中的学习都是在农村完成的。在那里，落后的硬件设施没有阻挡我们全面发展的脚步。事实上，因为课业压力不是太重，我们反而有更多的时间去学习如何认识自己，如何与人相处。小学和初中我都是担任班长，负责纪律和各种活动的组织。那段经历对我而言是一种砺炼，对我产生了很大影响。我曾参加镇运动会，书画比赛等都获得名次;曾经做过军乐队的指挥;担任过班级的新年晚会的组织者和主持人;也曾经被选为山西新闻协会小记者分会的小记者;也曾参加希望杯数学竞赛获奖，__年我获得了以前入团的资格。小学毕业时全镇第一名，中学毕业时以全镇第二名考入了山西省重点高中榆次一中。
初来榆次一中，环境的巨大变换和独自离家在外，我感到不是很适应，随着时间的推移，我逐渐融入了这个和我曾经习惯的环境不甚相同的集体。虽然高中阶段都是为了全力以赴迎接，但是我仍然参加了学校的志愿者活动，担任了班级的志愿者队长，《榆次一中志愿者报》编辑，还与同学一起成功举办了年级的演讲比赛。在高一，高二我连续获得了本校“福山奖学金”，高一获“校园之星”，高二获优秀学生和优秀团员称号。快乐而充实的高中，为理想而奋斗的高中，是我一生的记忆。
我是一个性格偏内向的人，也认为自己并不是适合作者。虽然多年锻炼让我受益非浅，也克服了我不少性格中的弱点。但是我还是向往平静而深刻的生活。即使不是知识分子，“一箪食，一瓢饮”的安逸乐道，“岁寒，然后知松柏之后凋”的深邃孤寂与坚守，也是每一个有灵魂的人内心深出的应有之义。
课余时间，我喜欢读书，看报，听音乐。一些学者文集是我桌边常放的书籍。如刘瑜的《民主的细节》，雷欧的《历史的进退》，钱穆的《改革得失》等等。我利用课余时间读《南方周末》。了解人情世事，开阔视野。我喜欢老歌，因为他们是经过岁月的筛选，沉淀真最精华的价值。
“三月紫丁，五月槐香”是榆次一中的特色。明年当人大“玉兰满园”的时节，希望我可以踏入人大自主招生的考场。人大是我梦寐以求的大学殿堂，感谢您百忙中阅读我的自荐信，也希望您能接受我的申请，让我实现自己的理想。

Dear leaders:
Hello! My name is __, and I am a senior high school student from Shanxi.Thank you for reading my self-recommendation letter in your busy schedule.
When I was young, I heard adults talk about "_", a name that was given a richassociation by me at the time. When I was young, I just thought that the namegave people a very prestigious and majestic feeling, and I longed to be a partof it someday. As I grow older, I have learned more about _: Different fromother schools, _ always maintains a rigorous academic attitude; no matter when,_ can provide students with the quietest and least disturbed Learningenvironment. _Located in Hangzhou, which is known as "paradise on earth",compared with universities in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, it has ateaching level that is not the same or even higher, but it is less hustle andquiet than them.
When I saw the school motto of "_", the touch from the bottom of my heartstrengthened my determination to "I want to be a person". _Adhere to the conceptof ideological education and professional knowledge training, and thecombination of theory and practice, and focus on cultivating students' knowledgeand innovation spirit. Therefore, to become a person, this will be a decisionthat I will never regret and be proud of.
Of course, the choice is not only due to incomparable superiority, but alsodue to one's own personality factors. I am a lively, cheerful andstraightforward girl, always full of curiosity about new things, and like toconstantly surpass myself in various challenges. I love the freehand musicflowing from the gurgling under the black and white keys, and the hearty flow ofthe clouds and water on the basketball court. So in high school, I served as theliterary committee of the class, the president of the school's music club, andthe captain of the women's basketball team. Although I am a girl, I also have anextraordinary love for computers. During the summer vacation after graduatingfrom junior high school, I went to a computer school to learn the VisualBasicprogramming language. At a very young age, I was able to master a lot more wordsthan my peers. With my language talent, I studied the first volume of universityKorean textbooks during the vacation. For me, studying is always a happy thing,because I can always experience the satisfaction of constantly enriching myselfand surpassing myself.
I am a girl who loves to play and knows how to play. But no matter howunrestrained you are when you are playing, when you learn, you will immediatelycalm down and devote yourself to the study without any distractions. Fromelementary school to high school, you have always had excellent grades and neverpartial subjects. Among all disciplines, my favorite is mathematics. I like tolook for those tiny rules between numbers, symbols, and subtitles; I like tosearch for the relationship between various parts in a variety of graphics; Ilike the feeling of facing each other when encountering a problem; I like toovercome the problem and "million" The heroic feeling of taking the first rankin the army. Although I have never studied Mathematical Olympiad, I still wonthe third prize of the "Hope Cup" Mathematics Invitational in junior high schooland the second prize of the National Mathematics League in high school.
I like the focused and pure feeling when I delve into the problem. I believethat only _ is the bright clear sky that allows the eagle of knowledge to soarfreely.
At the same time, I am also confident in my abilities. I have served as ahost in class and school activities many times; I have also been a tutor duringvacations and organized club activities on a regular basis. Steadily improveone's abilities in practice again and again.
Of course, if you want to become a person, moral character is a moreimportant aspect. My mother taught me since I was young: No matter what, we mustfirst learn to be a pure person. In my study and life, I will do my best to helpthe students around me, earnestly and responsibly do my job for the group, andactively win honors for the class in singing competitions and sports meets; whenI am at home, I will help my mother after studying. Washing and cooking, anddoing all kinds of housework; during the holidays, I will organize my classmatesto go to the orphanage to carry out voluntary activities... "Practical andinnovative" is my motto. And will stay with me throughout my life.
So I eagerly hope that one day I can wear that profound school badge on mychest, walk around the beautiful campus with my books, and solemnly say tomyself "I am a person"!
I hope you can pass my application. If my application is not passed, I willseriously find out my shortcomings and humbly correct them, and strive to get anideal result in the college entrance examination next year and enter the campusof _.
尊敬的老师：
您好：我今年17岁，17岁是花开的季节，也是多梦的季节，从小到大我用自己的聪慧和坚韧，一步一步实现着我的憧憬和梦想，我向往着将我的聪明才智在灿若星河的导师的点拨下，使我成为于国于民用有的栋梁之材;我向往着能在传承着中华人文脉络和科技创新的校园里，薰染、陶冶和提升着自己，我选择了浙大，因为这所历经百年风雨历练的“东方剑桥”，以“求是创新”为校训，没有浮华与骄躁，严谨治学，正如我脚踏实地、不急功近利、追求水到渠成的性格;我向往着能在精英汇聚、人才济济的浙大，书写我更加璀璨的人生篇章，我想我有足够的实力和自信选择浙大，因此，我向贵校提出申请，希望能获得一个让浙大选择我的机会。
我的父母都是教师出身，承传了身为数学教师父亲的智慧，我对数字有着特殊的的敏感，严谨的逻缉思维能力和发散性的思维方式，使我徜洋在繁杂的数理化的海洋里，乐此不疲，也正因为如此，文科功底同样扎实的我，始终没有走进文科班的课堂;我对不会的东西有一种先天性的好奇，不会的东西我从不主动放弃而是追本求源，直到柳暗花明我才善罢甘休;我做事从不半途而废，学打乒乓球，我练到胳膊酸肿，最后敢和男孩比试，为参加4_100米的接力，我天天到操场上“恶补”，最后为班级夺得名次;和爸爸学下棋，我不服输宁可不吃饭;我坚信朝秦暮楚、见异思迁、飘忽不定的人永远做不成事;“咬定青山不放松”、“心有多大舞台就有多大”是我的座佑铭。业余时间我还喜欢下棋、画画、看大片，对于色彩，我有一种天生的直觉，伴着铅笔细致的线条，我在画架前度过了三年的时光，也练就了我扎实的美术功底，我的画在学校艺术节上获二等奖，我是学校校园网动漫版的版主，为此上学期我花费了太多的精力，使我的总成绩落为年级的154名，这个学期，我又奋起直追，重新回到年级55名;我的一口流利的美式英语，就得益于看美国大片，看大片不仅可以享受艺术的美并从中感受异国的文化而且还可以提高我的英语水平，从小学到初中、高中，英语奥赛先后取得了国家和市级奖二等奖。闲暇时，钢琴将我还原为一个浪漫的女孩，手指间，流出秋日的思语，这时的我宁静而又陶醉，我就不再是乒乓球台前的我，钢琴舒缓着我疲劳的大脑，我觉得好陶醉，生活好美好美!我自幼爱好文学，传承了母亲的文学嗜好，我阅读了大量的文学名著，对各国神话传说有着浓厚的兴趣，并喜爱古代诗文、现代散文，从诸子百家到游记杂谈都有所涉猎。我追随余秋雨踏上《文化苦旅》，欣赏《霜冷长河》，感悟《千年一叹》;读易中天品天下之城，随茅盾度过《子夜》，看《春蚕》、忙《秋收》，莎士比亚悲惨剧情让我痛苦，马尔克斯的魔幻现实让我神往……。
从一年级起我就担任班长，初中以后我转到了一个民办初中，也是区重点初中，刚开始他们没把我这个转校生放在眼里，加上他们进度比我原学校快，我有些吃力，但很快我凭借咬定青山的坚轫和聪慧、高效奋起直追。我从不像有的孩子学到半夜，休息日走马灯似地恶补，我注重学习效率，珍惜课堂上的每一分钟，学习时，我屏心静气，心无旁骛，放松时，我玩游戏、打乒乓、游泳、下棋、画漫画，我以令人吃惊的速度学习着进步着，一张一弛，紧张的学习让我驾驭得紧张而又活泼。同时在新的集体，我发挥我的美术、文学特长，办板报、写小品、主持新晚会，很快凭自己的人格魅力和学习成绩折服了其他同学，“两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山”---妈妈这样形容我的初中生活。初中毕业典礼上，我以学校第一名、全市前十名的成绩举起母校送我的奖杯，我坦然面对成功，没有飘飘然忘乎所以，我知道，这个成功只是一个开始，它更让我坚信一个道理：成功不能靠偶然的机遇，靠的是脚踏实地的努力，是力量的厚积薄发，是付出后的水到渠成。
迈进这所省重点中学的校门，并进了重点班级。我没有参加任何科目的竞赛班，我只想以我的实力，扎实地学好每一门功课，在高考时凭总成绩，选择一所我向往的学校，理想的专业，我在数学、语文、英语等学科有着较大的优势，而唯在化学科目上总是找不到感觉，也影响了我的总成绩。为此今年我咬住化学弄懂弄会每一道题，很快，我的这科成绩也有了长足的进步，我相信，只要我努力，就会有收获。尽管高中生活更加紧张，但我同样抽出时间办板报、参加社会实践、义工活动。我到老年福利院帮助孤寡老人，到社区帮助残疾人家庭清扫卫生，为“挣”书钱，我和同学冒着寒风卖花卖报，社会实践使我了解社会，体会生活的甘苦，我不想成为一个呆在象牙塔里的书呆子。
“国有成均，在河之滨”，历经战争历练的浙大，坐落在桃红柳绿的西子湖畔，更以她“求是”的学风而。在对自己未来进行规划时，鉴于自己较强的数学运算能力、逻辑思维能力和对信息的捕捉和分析能力，我理想是做一个精算师，“心有多大，舞台就有多大”，我从不认为我是一个小女生，我认为我会和男孩子一样做大事、做大学问，随着高考脚步的临近，我觉得我的目标越来越清晰了，我的目标离我的理想越来越近了，我暗下决心要进入到一所我无悔的学校，我渴望浙大能助我在追寻理想的道路上走得更远，我想起母校的一句话，“今天我以母校为荣，明天母校以我为荣”，我选择浙大，带着几分自信与霸气，扬帆起程，乘风破浪，请老师给我这个机会来证明我的实力，张扬我的个性，实现我的价值。
此致
敬礼!

It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the length oftime that one can live or the material abundance that one can acquire， but inthe richness and the wonderfulness of life itself. With the increase of my age，many things in my life have changed. But one thing remains constant， that is， Iwill consistently insist on doing what I like to do and hope that my endeavorscan be valuable to the life of others. I see this as the only way whereby I canrealize the value of my life.
My undergraduate study focused on economics and I achieved remarkablescholastic performance in this field. My GPA is 3.44 (my GRE score is 20__ andTOEFL—— )。 For four consecutive years of my undergraduate study， I receivedscholarships for my distinguished academic performance. Due to my equallyprominent performance in extracurricular activities I was conferred on theOutstanding Student in Campus Activities. However， honestly speaking， my realinterest lies not in economics， but in education. Ever since I was a primaryschool student， I had cherished a strong desire for a teaching careerexemplified by my teachers. In the actual teaching career that I embarked onupon my graduating from university， I have become increasingly aware that theexisting educational conditions in China are far from satisfactory. The backwardteaching methodology and the prevailing pedagogical ideology have renderedChinese education out of place with the modern international development ineducation. On the macro level， the current education theory and practice inChina lag significantly behind advanced countries in the West. For instance，though education via the internet has achieved considerable development in pasttwo years， in practical operation such education has more often than notdeteriorated into an extended form of the conventional examination-orientededucation instead of a really interactive process. In my personal experience，despite the fact that some of the problems that I have encountered in myteaching career can be solved by consulting relevant technical literature， Ihave found that the more serious flaws inherent in China's current educationalsystem cannot be worked out easily. Under such circumstances， an advancedprogram in education becomes necessary.
In this age of information， traditional education， both in its ideology andmethodology， has met unprecedented challenge like many other aspects of humanexistence. Meanwhile， the pursuit for higher levels of educational developmentand of the quality of life has largely transformed the educational valueorientation of the general public. The educational model that is centered aroundthe cognitive and intellectual instruction has been seriously questioned.Greater attention has been devoted to the cultivation of well-developedpersonality and to the ontological status of the individual in education. Suchissues as the internal studies of education science， scientific decision-makingin education， and meta-education have also been increasingly emphasized upon.There have also been innovations in educational research methodology. Thetendency has been to combine modern technology with humanistic researchcategories and with naturalistic research categories， and to organicallyintegrate qualitative descriptions with quantitative descriptions. It is alsoimportant to carry out educational experimentations in which educationalpredictions are complemented by educational feedbacks. Both the complexity ofeducation and the complexity of human individuals have made the comprehensiveapplication of diverse educational approaches necessary. Those new horizons arewhat fascinate me.
In view of the following qualifications that I have acquired， I believe thatI will acquit myself satisfactorily in the prospective Ph.D. program ineducation that I am currently endeavoring to apply for. First and foremost， asis often claimed， one's interest is one's best director. I believe that I willdo well what I am really interested in doing. Secondly， though I majored ineconomics as an undergraduate， my trainings during that stage helped developeffective modes of thinking and research approaches. In addition， Iconscientiously self-studied many works related to education， including ADevelopmental History of Educational Science in the West， which enabled me toconstruct a solid groundwork for more advanced studies in this field. Next， itcan be safely asserted that education and economics are not entirely separated.For example， it is necessary to apply many statistical methods in educationalpsychology and my academic record indicates that statistics is the subject thatI am most good at. Last but not the least， my current teaching career and myteaching experience will play a positive role in facilitating my target degreeprogram.
The reason why I apply for the University of —— is that it is the first stateuniversity with a time-honored history. The School of Education in thisuniversity is quite prominent among its counterparts in the field. I amparticularly attracted by the School's powerful pedagogical resource， vibrantintellectual atmosphere and a comprehensive curriculum. I plan to apply for adegree program in Instructional Technology or Educational Psychology， both ofwhich enjoy unparalleled academic reputation in the world. My application forInstructional Technology is motivated by my strong interest in the applicationof modern science and technology， especially the information technologyrepresented by the Internet， in the field of education and in the nature of aseries of revolutionary changes resulting thereof. Instructional Technology is anew discipline that has emerged as a result of the rapid development of moderncommunication technology since the late 20th century. It has tremendouspotential for development and commercial application. As for my motive inselecting Educational Psychology as another possible area of specialization inmy degree program， it is my long-cherished interest that primarily counts. Onthe other hand， all the accomplished educators since the 1960's have beenwell-versed in psychology. Almost every important new educational theory isderived psychological findings in one way or another so that educationalpsychology has subsequently developed into a fundamental subject for the scienceof education. The tendency in the 21st century is to emphasize on the microresearch of educational activities and against this backdrop educationalpsychology will be attached greater importance. In Instructional Technology， Iwould like to focus on the following studies： how to improve educationalefficiency by applying research results from natural sciences and engineeringtechnology; how to explore the combination and coordination of pedagogicalcontents and to improve teaching methodology by exploiting the theoreticalfindings from psychology and educational science concerning the process ofteaching and learning. In Educational Psychology， I will concentrate on appliedcognition and development， gifted and creative education， genetics and childrendevelopment， personality structure and individual differences and other relatedsubjects.
For me， to shift from economics to education and to pursue an advanced degreein the United States is not so much a challenge as an opportunity. At present，major reforms are being introduced into virtually every important aspect ofChinese society. The field of education especially calls for comprehensivereforms. The United States occupies an absolutely leading position in thepresent-day world in education. It is my conviction that， in the United States，advanced educational theories， technologies and information will facilitate meimmensely in the achievement of remarkable academic progress， fulfilling myaspiration to become an accomplished professional in the field of education.This will not only bring my patriotic fervor into reality but also make my lifemore meaningful and rewarding.
