The second step is to select a school for positioning. When choosing a school, we need to understand the admission criteria of the target institution, evaluate whether there are any restrictions on our own conditions and background, and formulate a reasonable school selection plan. Graduate school entrance exams are often short on time, so it is important to have a clear goal before making better use of the available time. When choosing a school and major, it is advisable to choose a country and school that requires a short preparation time and is moderately difficult to admit, taking into account factors such as budget, career planning, and country location. After confirming the direction of application, you can start with the major, choose the corresponding major, and then select the school. If you haven't figured out the direction of your major, you can circle the general direction and evaluate the feasibility of interdismence. For the budget for studying abroad, you can start with tuition fees and living expenses, tuition fees can generally be found on the official websites of various institutions, and living expenses mainly depend on the location of the institution, and the more prosperous the place, the higher the cost of living. Compared with small language countries, it is recommended that you apply to Commonwealth countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, because these countries allow us to postpone our language scores when applying; Of course, we can also take a look at some colleges or majors in Hong Kong and Macao that can be applied for with CET-6 scores.

The third step is to prepare the application materials. The application materials mainly include standardized scores and application documents. Standardized scores are undergraduate GPAs, graduation certificates, etc.

Fresh graduates need to provide a three-year transcript and proof of enrollment, and graduates need to provide a complete transcript, degree certificate and graduation certificate.

All materials must be provided in Chinese and English, and the GPA on the transcript must have an algorithm explanation. Language scores are not only a necessary condition for admission to colleges and universities, but also an important reference factor for the evaluation of various scholarships. Depending on the requirements of the institution and our own situation, we can choose IELTS, TOEFL, CET-6, CET-4 and CET-8 for English majors, or new language scores that are open to acceptance due to the pandemic, such as IELTS or TOEFL Home and Duolingo. In addition to this, other documents such as award certificates, internships, or work certificates are required.
