High school students studying abroad: apply directly
Direct application for studying abroad requires high average scores and English scores of students, especially in universities in popular countries such as Britain and the United States. The minimum requirement is that the average score of senior high school is above 80, and IELTS is above 6 or 0.
Advantages: Most foreign universities will take the local undergraduate entrance examination, apply for studying abroad after achieving language scores, apply for relevant visas, and solve the cost problem.
Disadvantages: American undergraduate application is generally one year ahead of schedule, so senior two students must take standardized exams and prepare various documents to maintain their academic performance. Art majors also need to prepare a portfolio. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare as soon as possible, and the preparation time is very long.
Suitable for the crowd: domestic high school students with excellent grades and preparation for studying abroad.
High school students studying abroad: Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools.
Sino-foreign cooperation in running schools and studying abroad is a joint study abroad project of domestic and foreign universities. Students can study in domestic enrollment schools for a period of time, and after laying a solid foundation to meet the admission requirements of foreign universities, they can continue to study the rest of the courses in foreign universities.
1+3 study abroad, 2+2 study abroad, and 3+ 1 study abroad are different in terms of children's time in domestic universities.
If students usually get good grades, but their language foundation is a little weak, they can choose 1+3 to study abroad or 1+4 to study abroad, which is the so-called preparatory study. They will study language courses in China for one year, and all undergraduate courses will be studied in foreign universities.
Students whose grades are not particularly satisfactory or who want to save the cost of studying abroad can choose 2+2 study abroad or 3+2 study abroad program. Students study in domestic universities for a long time, so the requirements for admission stage are relatively low, and considerable expenses can be saved at the same time.
There are many Sino-foreign cooperative education projects in China, including Beijing Foreign Studies University, university of international business and economics, Beijing Foreign Studies University, capital university of economics and business, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Youshi University in China and Northwest University.
To sum up, how to choose high school students to study abroad should be considered according to the students' achievements and the economic strength of their families. Students who are going to apply for the Sino-foreign cooperative study abroad program can sign up for the spring class in March next year from now on.
2. Interpretation of the application process for studying abroad
First, make a study abroad plan.
Many students and parents think that there are few opportunities to study abroad. When applying for studying abroad, no study plan was made according to the students' situation. Now parents can consult the teachers of some professional study abroad institutions to determine the students' study abroad plan according to their learning situation and language scores. Under the guidance of students majoring in studying abroad, make a more suitable study plan for students.
Second, the calculation of the cost of studying abroad
After making a study abroad plan for students, you can calculate the students' study abroad expenses in advance. The cost of studying abroad that students need to prepare in different countries varies according to the cost of studying abroad in different schools. For example, applying for studying abroad will involve the bank deposit certificate required to apply for a visa. Parents must make plans in advance to let their children study abroad. After all, some countries have strict requirements on fees when applying for a study visa.
Third, prepare materials.
Everyone should get ready first. The first thing here is the understanding of schools and majors. Everyone needs to collect information in all directions, compare and determine their own goals, so that the follow-up preparations will not waste time.
The materials to be prepared mainly include academic qualifications, transcripts, letters of recommendation, resumes, PS, etc. The application time is about 65438+February, and the ring date is about 65438+1mid-October. Everyone should seize the prime time.
Fourth, the school application
When students have prepared all the materials, they need to start applying for schools. The application time of each school is different. Students must be optimistic about the application time of schools in various countries in advance and submit their own materials as soon as possible so as not to miss the application time. If applying for a school requires students to submit letters of recommendation and other materials, students must not submit the same materials to all schools, but must write targeted letters of recommendation, so as to improve admission.
Verb (short for verb) waits for the result.
The audit usually takes about two months. Of course, popular colleges need longer time, so the general results will be announced in March-May, and everyone should always pay attention to the school official website.
However, after seeing your name, you should pay close attention to your email. If you are satisfied with the school after receiving the admission confirmation email, you need to confirm it in time and reply to the email.
Visa application for intransitive verbs
Followed by visas, most of the materials are ready-made. What you have to do is to go to the bank to apply for a deposit certificate, then go to the hospital for a physical examination and get a physical examination report.
You need to make an appointment first, because this is the peak period of application. If you agree on a good time, you can avoid a trip in vain, pay the handling fee after submitting the materials, and then go home and other results.
Seven, arrange accommodation
While waiting for the audit, everyone should arrange their own accommodation first. You can apply for the dormitory provided by the school, or you can contact the intermediary to rent a house yourself. These should be confirmed before going abroad.
Then it is to sort out the luggage going abroad, book travel tickets and contact the school to pick up the plane. After you get the visa, you can start.
3. Common exams for studying abroad
The most important and common tests for studying abroad are GMAT, GRE, IELTS and TOEFL, which are all tests to test the English ability of applicants. It mainly examines students' listening, writing, reading and speaking abilities. No matter at this stage of middle school or at university, you must take this kind of examination, and the examination results can also be used as one of the stepping stones to apply for colleges and universities.
Postgraduate management entrance examination
The GMAT test scores are used to evaluate whether the applicant is suitable for the postgraduate study of business and economics, so as to decide whether to enroll. GMAT is mainly used to evaluate whether an applicant is qualified to continue studying business administration. GMAT test should not only test the applicant's English language ability and mathematical thinking ability, but also test his psychological reaction, logical thinking and ability to solve practical problems.
GRE test
It is the test score required by all kinds of graduate schools (except school of management and law school) of universities around the world, and it is also the most important criterion for applicants to award scholarships. GRE test mainly examines students' logical thinking ability, English reading ability and English vocabulary. Only with these three abilities can we get good grades in the GRE exam. At present, most overseas universities have no specific requirements for GRE scores in the application rules, but higher GRE scores can often well reflect the applicant's excellent logical thinking ability and English proficiency.
International English Language Testing System
The role and status of IELTS and TOEFL are similar, but IELTS scores are mainly recognized by Commonwealth countries. In the application of American schools, some schools don't accept IELTS scores, so applicants should determine their application direction as soon as possible to avoid the situation that their language scores can't meet the requirements of ideal institutions.
TOEFL ［Test of English as a Foreign Language］
English proficiency test provided by graduate students from non-English speaking countries. TOEFL can only be used for studying abroad, but you can apply for scholarships. Europe (such as Britain), Oceania (such as Australia and New Zealand) and some countries and regions in Southeast Asia all recognize TOEFL scores.
What needs to be reminded here is that most China students' oral test scores are not optimistic, and the way to improve the level of studying abroad is to persist in training. Only a comprehensive breakthrough in "listening, speaking, reading and writing" can achieve good results.
