There are several points to note:
1. The number of applicants should be 65438+ 0.2 times the number of schools applying.
All materials, including translation, need to be stamped with the official seal of the school.
3. If the school can't provide English documents, it needs to go to the relevant translation agency recognized by the school for translation, and keep the translation qualification certificate.
Second, the undergraduate grade point //GPA
First of all, you should choose the appropriate target colleges and majors according to your undergraduate schools, majors and personal grade points. The application materials must be submitted in English for more than 6 semesters. The original can be issued in the academic affairs office of the school, and the bilingual version is stamped with the official seal of the school.
The GPA requirements of 985, 2 1 1 colleges and universities will also be different. If it is a non-985,211school, then the school will have higher requirements for the average score. For example, King's College London, 985, 2 1 1 university requires 88-90 points, and non-985, 21/university requires 90+; Generally speaking, the lowest score of non-985,211universities is 75, and there are also universities with the lowest score of 85 or even 90. More specifically, it depends on the requirements of the applying school and major.
Iii. Application documents
The most important document is Personal Statement (PS), which is mainly written around three points: why do you want to apply for this school and major, what advantages do you have for the school to choose you, what you can learn from your major, and the influence and planning for the future. PS must be revised repeatedly, and teachers and seniors can be asked to help modify and polish it. Remember not to use templates! Note that some schools have word requirements for PS.
Letters of recommendation are also important. Find two referees in advance, such as school teachers or industry practice teachers, and choose referees with high professional titles, high professional direction matching and familiar with you. Such a letter of recommendation is not only high in gold content, but also high in authenticity.
Resume is similar to the resume submitted when looking for a job, which is an overview of personal basic information, awards, internship experience, volunteer experience, publishing papers or works and other abilities and backgrounds.
Fourth, standardized language achievement.
Studying abroad requires qualified standardized language scores. Official website, an applicant for a school, will show the professional requirements for language achievement. If you don't get the ideal score when you submit the materials, you can temporarily not submit them when you apply to some schools in Britain, Australia and so on, and you can make up qualified language scores before the deadline in conditional offer. Most colleges and universities do not need to submit language scores when submitting applications. If the language scores were not up to standard at that time, except for a few colleges and universities, you can generally apply for language courses. If you are in business, you need to take the GMAT/GRE exam.
V proof of assets
Family financial proof is also an essential application condition for studying abroad. Proof of assets is usually used to apply for a visa. Parents provide bank deposit certificates, such as family assets, family annual income, family bank deposit bills, etc. To ensure the tuition and living expenses of children during their study abroad. Of course, it is best if you can afford all the tuition and living expenses for students to complete their studies. If not, at least be able to pay the tuition and living expenses for the first year. Moreover, the certificate of deposit must have a freezing period, that is, during this period, the bank deposit is frozen and cannot be taken out for any reason. The freezing time is mostly three months, half a year or even a year, depending on the school and family situation.
PS。 Different schools and majors require different tuition fees, and the tuition fees of popular majors such as accounting and finance will be higher; In the United States, for example, the tuition fee for graduate students in general public universities is about $65,438+0,000 ~ 20,000/year, and that for graduate students in private universities is about $65,438+0,500 ~ 30,000/year. The cost of living varies from city to city. In American megacities such as Los Angeles and Washington, it may reach $65,438+0,000/month.
Sixth, soft power conditions.
1, work (internship) experience
People in China often say that interlacing is like a mountain. The understanding of foreigners is so similar. Especially for the master program, there are differences in understanding between China and foreign countries. In foreign countries, the master's program is oriented to clear career goals. Only with quantitative and clear goals can you achieve career success through further study. This is also the meaning of internship.
Every experience is a process of understanding the industry, and every feeling is conducive to correcting your career direction. Therefore, even a small internship will play a role in the future work as long as you think deeply. This is also a more important reason for professional-related work practice.
In addition, the school will use internship experience to evaluate the possibility of students becoming elites in the future. Professional problems, moral dilemmas, communication confusion and relationship handling encountered at work will all reveal whether you have the potential to become an elite.
2. Extracurricular activities/participation in competitions
Each project has its own characteristics, and the students admitted should also be perfectly matched in personality characteristics, and extracurricular activities or competitions are an important way to reveal students' characteristic information. Are you active in all kinds of activities? What are the characteristics of these activities? Do you play a leading role in them? Do you attach importance to communication and cooperation with others? Are what you say and want recognized by others?
These questions are the characteristic information that the school wants to know: whether it is active and sociable, or cool-headed and good at thinking; What role do you play in the team? What are your hobbies? Can you stick to them for a long time? Is there leadership influence and potential? Can you face the challenge? Do you love team activities and get effective integration and recognition? Schools have their own opinions.
3, research projects/papers
It can be said that research &; Publication is an excellent window for schools to understand students' academic attainments/backgrounds. A research project and an academic paper may only be a small focus, but they all potentially reflect what the student is concerned about, what he is studying, what he is thinking, what he has done, what problems he has solved, how to do it, whether his research is meaningful, whether his thinking is insightful, and more importantly, the school is using these to measure whether he is suitable for academic research.
