诺美升导办带你探秘如何才能申请美国名校 How to apply for top 10 universities in USA

模拟商业竞赛的创立是为了帮助想成为对未来有抱负的商业领袖和企业家的高中生们，更好地理解如何去经营一个企业的战略。在整个模拟赛的过程中，所有参赛学生们将积极参与从企业文化到生产需求的业务的各个方面的创建和决策。本次模拟商业竞赛在12月1日与12月2日在我校顺利举办。我校共有来自9，10，11年级的学生所组成的5家公司进行比赛。

A Business Simulation has been created in an effort to help the aspiring business leaders and entrepreneurs of tomorrow grasp a better logistical and strategic understanding of how to run a business. During the simulation students will be actively involved in creating and deciding on every aspect of their business from the company culture to the production needs. A Business Simulation was successfully held in NAIS on December 1 and 2. Our school had 5 companies composed of students from grade 9,10, and 11. 

两天的紧张比赛，从设计公司商品概念，商品定价，商品销售，拍卖原材料，再到进行路演，吸引天使投资人，所有的公司产品设计，宣传海报设计，以及路演演讲，都是由学生讨论完成。

There were two days of intense competition, from the design of the company’s commodity concept, pricing, sales, auction of raw materials, to the road show that attracting angel investors, all the company’s designs and related speechs, were completed by students. 

       比赛之后，我校11年级学生组成的公司荣获了Brand Award，并且有三家公司顺利进入了明年2月份进行的全明星邀请赛，预祝我校学生在全明星赛中取得优异成绩，并获得宝贵经验。

After the Business Simulation, a team of grade 11 students won the Brand Award. Three companies from NAIS successfully entered the All-Star Invitational Competition in February next year. Wish our students have a good performance in All-Star In vitational Competition scheduled for February next year. We wish our students good luck!

Q1

       很多家长也会有疑问，到底竞赛在我们之后的升学中是处于一个什么样的地位？是每个学生都要参加竞赛吗？竞赛是一定需要取得好的名次吗？名次不好怎么办？竞赛如果不是国际性的是不是含金量不高，那申请的时候还需要提供吗？

Parents will may have questions, what is the status of competition in students’ future application? Is every student required to take part in the competition? Is it necessary to get a good place in the competition? What about poor rankings? If the competition is not international, does student need to prove it when he/she applies for universities?

其实总的来说竞赛是可以分为两个方面的，首先就是竞赛自身的含金量，如果在一个竞赛中获得很好的名次，不论这个竞赛的等级如何，都可以考虑将他们写进自己的最终申请的五个奖项中，当然这也会按照竞赛的等级最后选择的时候再做详细选择。像我校已举办过的加拿大数学奥赛，普林斯顿大学物理竞赛，英国物理奥赛，模拟商业竞赛等，都属于在全球比较知名的比赛。其次另外一个方面也是很多家长和学生关心的竞赛名次不好怎么办，不是国际性的竞赛怎么办。其实这些还是要鼓励学生参加的，因为这一方面是学生的兴趣爱好的延伸，另一方面也可以作为一次质量很高的活动，而且越是国际性质的活动对于活动含金量来说也是更有帮助的，也是从另一个侧面展现了学生的全方面的发展。当然如果要申请美国“常青藤”名校和综合排名前10的学校，一个国际性认证的比赛还是很重要的。

In fact, the contest can be divided into two aspects. The first is that this contest is well-known. If you get a good ranking in a contest, regardless of the level of the contest, you can consider including them in your applieation. Of course, you need to make detailed selection according to the level of the contest at the end. Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge, Princeton Physics Unlimited Premier Competition, British Physics Olympiad, and Business Simulation, have all been held by NAIS and all are world-renowned contests. The other aspect is that many parents and students are concerned about what to do with the poor ranking of the contest. In fact, these contests are designed to encourage students to participate, because these contests are an extension of students’ interests and hobbies. Furthermore, they can be regarded as high-quality activities that show the development of students in all aspects. These types of actiuities help to build student portfolios for college applications.
