Britain has generally opened its application in September, and individual institutions can even start accepting applications in July. Please arrange the time reasonably. British institutions apply for "rolling", that is, rolling admission, first come, first served. The earlier you study in Britain, the greater the probability of successful application, especially for students who want to apply for prestigious schools and popular majors. With the application, the number of places is getting less and less, and the threshold is rising at any time.
The results of the first batch of students who applied in September will definitely be much better than those who applied after 1. If the application time is too late, even if your academic performance and other conditions are better than those of the students who applied earlier, it is difficult to be admitted. Therefore, to apply for a prestigious British school, we must prepare for the early application, be an early bird studying abroad, and strive to occupy the limited "bird's nest" of prestigious schools.
Therefore, it is generally recommended to apply for schools to plan one year to one and a half years in advance. Take graduate students as an example. Students who apply for admission to British universities next autumn can generally start preparations in June this year, such as IELTS planning, achievement planning, work practice planning, school professional planning, and integration of documents and application materials. So that you won't be blind in the application process.
Set goals in July and August.
Study the enrollment information, lock in the target institutions, and determine the list of British schools and professional direction suitable for your application.
August-September material preparation
Prepare paperwork: personal statement, recommendation letter, resume.
Formal application in September-165438+ 10.
Students who have just started school should be busy with the new semester's courses, and they should also contact the university's professional course tutor to write a letter of recommendation. After some busy work, most of them submitted their applications at this stage.
The advantage of applying at this stage is that most British universities have just finished the admission of freshmen, and they have more free time, the most sufficient application places, the highest admission probability and the lowest threshold, so students choose to submit their applications at this time. During this period, there are more applications from students, and the school will be slow to process applications.
1 1-65438+ Apply for buffer period in February.
Some students have received admission notices one after another. At this time, what they got was basically a "conditional admission notice". Students who meet all the conditions in the Conditional Admission Notice will be exchanged for an Unconditional Admission Notice.
During this period, the speed of processing student applications in British universities will be much slower. First, there are a lot of applications to be processed in recent months, and the workload is very heavy. Secondly, because of Christmas, foreigners attach as much importance to Christmas as people in China to celebrate the New Year.
During the waiting period, many students with dreams of prestigious schools began to prepare for the IELTS test.
Patience waiting period 1- next March
At this stage, most submitting schools will give the application results. The school official shows that the speed of issuing admission results is: 6-8 weeks from the date of application submission. It usually takes two months, but a few excellent schools will be a little slower.
Struggle while waiting, and IELTS scores will continue.
Students who have not submitted their applications should submit them as soon as possible without delay. The earlier you apply, the better your chances. Under normal circumstances, good majors in famous universities in Britain are basically closed at this time, and the majors that are closed for application in British universities come out at this time every year. If you apply at this time, you may miss some good British universities and majors and have fewer choices.
