The written examination for the postgraduate entrance examination has just ended, although there is still a period of time before the score is released, but there is an interview after the score, so don't be in a hurry to "let yourself go" during this time, and some students who want to wait for the graduate school entrance examination to get the score before applying to study abroadDon't wait!There are already universities & majors in the UK that have closed their applications in advance!If you miss it, you'll have a gap of a year!
Master's applications at UK universities are generally open from October to November of the year before admission, and some schools will advance them to July or AugustThe deadline is concentrated in April of the first year of school, and some very popular majors will be closed in advance. Most of the school's courses adopt a rolling admission model, accept no IELTS submission, the application materials are relatively simple, and the deadline for the final round is late!
So, again, the previous conclusion:At this time, it is still too late to apply for foreign universities!However, it is recommended that you hurry up, as many institutions will close the application deadline early.
For some students who do not do well in the exam, in fact, the choice of going to graduate school again or studying abroad is a question that bothers them. It is indeed difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination, but the cost of studying abroad is not low, how to choose between the two?
In terms of difficulty, we all know that the postgraduate entrance examination has been very difficult, and the job market has become more and more important to academic qualifications, which has also led to many students having to be involved in the postgraduate entrance examination war, even if the number of applicants for the postgraduate examination has decreased slightly this year, but there are still 4.3 million candidates competing on the same stage, and the fierce competition can be imagined.
After all, the graduate school entrance examination is a selective examination, and in addition to professional courses, there are also mathematics, politics, and English, each of which requires serious preparation. The exam itself is also a test of students' ability to perform on the spot, and some students may be well prepared, but they are nervous as soon as they get to the exam room, which will inevitably affect their performance. In addition, there are many uncontrollable factors in the re-examination, and it is not easy to be admitted to the ideal university.
Relatively speaking, there is a slight advantage in studying abroad, and most colleges and universities currently adopt the application system, which mainly examines the comprehensive strength of students' educational background, average score, internship, scientific research, etc., which can be continuously accumulated and improved through four years of university.
And in an application season, you can apply for multiple countries, colleges and different majors, in principle, we do not recommend everyone to apply, but there is no limit to the number of applications in the rules!
Even if you choose Hong Kong, China or Singapore, the cost of a year is 15-25w, the UK is 35w+, and Australia is about 35-40w a year.
However, the time cost of studying abroad is shorter than that of postgraduate entrance examination. For example, the current new academic system in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong is one year, the United States and Canada are two years, and Australia is very flexible, one year, 15 years, 2 years.
In the case of the domestic postgraduate examination, it takes three years, and many students have spent 2-3 years in the preparation stage, so it adds up to 4-6 years of comprehensive practice from examination to graduation.
If you graduate from a famous foreign school two years early, you will not only have a higher employment platform, but also have a much higher incomeThe time cost should also be taken into account, so it is obviously more advantageous to study abroad. In addition, there are many benefits and policies after returning from studying abroad, which are not enjoyed by master's students in ordinary colleges and universities in China.
For the graduate school entrance examination party, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding when preparing to study abroad, let's see if you have been recruited:
It is difficult to choose and determine the plan for further study.
Due to the tight time, many postgraduate entrance examination parties are more panicked, tangled back and forth between colleges and universities in various countries, or hurriedly want to choose a top-ranked school to submit an application immediately, but this often may have a higher probability of rejection. It is recommended to ask more professional teachers at this stage to help you do a comprehensive analysis before choosing a school and applying.
Applications are only targeted at one institution, and other institutions are not considered.
Unlike domestic postgraduate entrance examinations, we can apply to multiple universities in the same region or apply for multiple admission opportunities through mixed application (referring to the application plan of 2 or more regions at the same time in the same application season). However, mixed application is not the same as random application, and if you do not do a careful application strategy in advance, your personal advantages will be drowned. Common mixed applications include the United States and Canada, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and New Zealand, Hong Kong and New Zealand, etc., which need to be selected according to their own circumstances.
If you can't make it to apply, you're going to give up.
For many students, they have to wait until the scores for the graduate school entrance examination are released before making a decision. However, at that time, many colleges and universities had already closed their applications for autumn admission, and many students felt that they would give up since they missed it, and they could only plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination again.
But in fact, if you can't catch up in the fall, there will be spring admissions!Although there are fewer programs in the spring semester, you can have more time to prepare, and there are many opportunities to go to prestigious schools after improving your personal competitiveness.
The main misunderstandings in school choice are as follows.
For students who are going to graduate school, many people don't know anything about studying abroad. Coupled with the fact that time is tighter, choosing a school according to the conventional method can be confusing and waste valuable time. Therefore, I recommend three ideas to choose a school, I personally think that it is more convenient to apply to these schools, and it is too late to start preparing now.
