School selection and planning
ED successfully received an offer from his dream school
During his junior high and high school years, he studied in New York City and New Jersey in the eastern part of the United States. Whether it is in terms of culture, style or location, she is more suitable and biased towards schools in the East of the United States.
After in-depth communication with students and parents, we found that Q was a good fit to Xi and live in a smaller class size and a tighter school community.
In addition, Q hopes to learn Xi in an urbanized environmentThis will help her learn better Xi and make a positive contribution to the community and make an impact.
She also hopes to have a variety of practical Xi and employment resources to prepare for long-term development in the future. Everyone's adaptations and preferences for educational styles and needs are very different. Based on this concept of personalized planning, we recommend Barnard College for Q students.
Ahead of the summer of 2023, we helped her apply to Barnard Summer School in advanceIn order to experience the academic resources, human environment and campus life of this school up close and personal through hands-on experience.
Through her experience at Barnard Summer School, Ms. Q learned about the Bridgewater Program (Barnard-owned, alumni-founded), and made connections with many Inspire Women, which resonated with her through communication with alumni.
In addition to expanding her interest in literature, Barnard can also become a female leader in the economic and financial aspects that interest her.
She was pleasantly surprised by the school's open and inclusive spirit, the Bridgewater Honor Program, and the abundant Xi opportunities with Columbia University.
All of this is very much in line with her vision for the future of university lifeSo she decided to choose Barnard over Early Decision.
Complete all application materials and guide students to submit the Barnard Early Application:
In the summer before applying, we identified the school goals for Early Decision Application (ED) and Early Action Application (EA) as early as possible. The application teacher sorted out the schedule and preparation list of materials for the early application for student QAssist students and parents in identifying what we need to do to prepare.
We have set different deadlines for each of the required materials to ensure that there is enough time for revisions and correctionsIn order to ensure that the materials submitted by us have undergone multiple rounds of review and strict inspection to ensure that they are correct.
This kind of material sorting in advance also allows students and parents to be aware and reduce anxiety. Due to the time difference, we usually communicate with students in the morning or late at nightStudents may feel anxious or lost at times, which is inevitable for students in every application season.
Our experienced planners and essay teachers are timely and patient in answering students' questions, emphasizing that students' self-worth and gains do not depend only on university admission results, and that students are encouraged to develop all-round personal qualities with the goal of helping them navigate the application preparation period and the waiting for offers with a stable mind.
After a detailed, professional and personalized planning stage, as well as comprehensive and thoughtful guidance services during the application seasonI am very happy that Q students finally got their wish, got off the bus, and entered their dream school!
