How do we prepare?
The following three points are very important.
1. Determine the major and school to apply for, and choose the one that has not closed the application to apply
Schools that closed earlier include the University of Bristol, KCL, and Durham University, and some schools will close applications in February, so it is recommended that students submit their applications in February.
2. Prepare the application materials, which are divided into two parts: academic materials and clerical materials
Academic materials include transcripts, proof of enrollment (fresh graduates), graduation certificates, degree certificates, grading standards, average score certificates, etc., these materials need to be in Chinese and English, if the school only provides Chinese version, you have to find an institution to translate. The winter vacation is approaching, and many schools are going to be closed, so everyone should hurry up and prepare.
Essay materials include letters of recommendation, personal statement (PS) and resume (CV), and additional writing samples are required for some majors.
It takes time to prepare the paperwork, especially PS may need to be revised repeatedly, so this part of the time must be grasped well.
The National University of Singapore also requires a certificate of deposit before submitting an application, which also needs to be prepared in advance.
3. Language scores are mandatory, but some schools are not required now
