Looking at the early application results of the above-mentioned batch of top schools, "There are joys and sorrows”。But it's not hard to see that most admissions are stillThose leading schools concentrated in Beijing and Shanghai, even if there are dark horses, they are only a few.
Overall, however, overall admissions to Chinese students have declined. That's the backAs you can imagine, the competition will be more fierce for regular batch applications
Here, I would like to congratulate all the students who "went ashore" in the early approval, and also give some small reminders: while happy, rememberRespond to the school offer by the deadlineStudents who have signed the ED agreement will also try their best to withdraw the applications they have submitted to other schools. In the remaining half of high school life, you still don't relax on your Xi, especially for students who have IB and A level examsThe results of the final semester in school and the big exam are particularly crucial。"What suits you is the best", this is a common saying in us, even if you don't get your favorite school in the early approval, but if you have always had that obsession with the school, there will be moreRegular batches, transfers, and even graduate studiesmethod of entry.
Finally, I hope that everyone will adjust their mentality in the remaining half a month, improve their application materials, and submit an answer sheet that they will not regret in their application season.
