Recently, I have paid attention to the friends who have a plan to study abroad, and today I will mainly talk to you about some of the processes of studying abroad, and there are many friends who may not be very clear about many problems in studying abroad, such as "What materials do you need?"."How should the language be prepared?And so on. I believe that after reading this tweet, the doubts in the hearts of all friends will disappear, and those who have nowhere to start must collect it, so as not to find it!
1. Determine the budget for studying abroad
If you have a very outstanding background and results, you can apply for a full scholarship to study abroad, basically do not need to consider the budget, the full award is not only enough for tuition and living expenses, but also may even have a balance, other partners can measure how much their family conditions can afford and communicate with their parents in advance to confirm the budget for a year (tuition + living expenses).
2. Prepare for the study abroad exam
01. Understand the types of exams
The exams that you need to prepare for studying abroad include TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, GMAT, SAT, ACT, etc., and countries with small languages may also need to prepare for the corresponding official language test.
02. Confirm the application requirements
Although the recognition of *** varies greatly from country to country, school and even from major to major, basically every school will have a hard requirement for students' scores.
03. Get a high score as soon as possible
The sooner the high score is released, the more room for choice, and if you have not achieved the required minimum score before the application deadline, you can also apply for dual enrollment.
3. Carry out school selection and positioning
According to the average GPA score, language test scores, school background, internship and scientific research experience, interests and specialties, intended countries and majors and other comprehensive positioning to select a few suitable schools and majors, if DIY, to collect as much relevant information as possible, if necessary, you can communicate with the institution.
4. Study abroad documents and application materials
01. Study abroad documents
It generally includes a personal statement (PS-3 letters of recommendation (RL), personal resume (CV), and it should be noted that each school may have its own requirements, such as a business plan or 2-3 essays, all of which need to be written in English, and some must upload proof of strengths. Personal statement part, I have a strong desire to learn for the chosen major, what ability and determination to complete the study, usually 500 600 words can be, you can write according to the chosen major and school, but do not exaggerate, the resume part is an overview of your own situation, usually including name, ** education experience, work experience, language scores, etc., if there is a transnational internship or volunteer experience should be a plus, but keep in mind that the first meaning of this part is concise and generous.
02. Application materials for studying abroad
It mainly includes transcripts, proof of funds, graduation certificate or proof of enrollment, etc.
5. Fill in the online application form and send the materials
01. Fill in the online application form
The online application system is different in different countries, and you should fill in the information truthfully according to your own situation when filling it out by yourself.
02. Material sending
Some schools will require the materials to be sent, at this time, pay attention to the English address and zip code to write correctly, do not close to the application deadline only to find that you have not sent to the correct address at all, causing unnecessary trouble.
Sixth, set of magnetics, interview
01. Magnetism
In layman's terms, it is to say hello to the school professor before entering the school to explain the situation, so as to increase the chance of being admitted, and secondly, it is possible to win a scholarship, but the magnetism is sometimes considered spam, but it can still play a key role when appropriate.
02. Interview
If the school you are applying for has interview requirements, you can find materials in advance to learn and prepare, and if you have a set of magnets, you can also ask the teacher for interview questions and skills.
7. Scholarship application
Taking the United States as an example, the scholarships that are often applied for are generally divided into two kinds, including need-based and merit-based, need-based scholarships should pay attention to distinguish between need-blind or notblind, need-blind will not affect admission, generally you need to fill in the CSS form to apply through collegeboard, need-blind should never apply under normal circumstances, it will affect admission. Proof of funds is not required for merit-based scholarships, and many schools generally do not need to apply for additional funds, which can save a lot of effort.
