Studying abroad after the college entrance examination requires rational choice.
Studying abroad is an important family education decision. Students' life and career planning is the primary consideration when making a decision to study abroad. When making a decision to study abroad, we should avoid a temporary decision. If students have a clear development plan for their future development, rather than taking studying abroad as a retreat after failing in the college entrance examination, then studying abroad is a good choice, and studying abroad is a "way out" rather than a "retreat" after the college entrance examination.
Secondly, clarifying the goal of studying abroad is also an important criterion for making a decision to study abroad. After the college entrance examination every year, many candidates with unsatisfactory results choose to study abroad, which gives students another chance to choose and let them stand at the starting point again. However, it is wrong to regard studying abroad as the only chance to change your destiny, as a value-added bargaining chip for future job hunting, and as a springboard for overseas immigrants and applying for a green card. These typical mentalities reflect the uncertainty of the goal of studying abroad, and the deeper reason is that some people in the potential study abroad group have no rational motivation to study abroad. Students and parents should be clear that there is only one purpose of studying abroad, that is, "becoming a talent", and a reasonable motivation for studying abroad is the premise of becoming a talented person with international vision and competitiveness.
In addition, the specific economic situation of students' families, the study and employment situation in various countries, whether the foreign languages learned by students in high school can be connected with the countries that intend to study abroad, the customs and customs of the countries that study abroad, and the students' independent life and learning ability are all important reference standards for making the decision to study abroad.
What kind of students are suitable for studying abroad after the college entrance examination?
Foreign education, especially American education, attaches great importance to the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability and the development of students' practical ability and independent thinking ability. Under the traditional exam-oriented education in China, it is very common for repressed students to achieve excellent results abroad. Students with good learning ability, independent living ability and interpersonal skills are more suitable for studying abroad after the college entrance examination and will gain more.
At present, in the actual consultation, the following two types of people consult the college entrance examination and study abroad more.
1 the results of the college entrance examination did not meet their expectations. Such students usually have good academic performance and excellent English, and are expected to be admitted to very good universities in China. However, the college entrance examination is not normal, and some of them can't even get one, or they can only go to universities that are far from their psychological expectations.
Usually, the academic performance and English level are average. Parents' psychological expectation is that they can be admitted to similar undergraduate schools in China, but their college entrance examination results are not ideal.
But in any case, the college entrance examination is not the only criterion for judging students. Choosing a more humanized education and growth mode abroad will bring lifelong benefits to students.
What are the recognition and views of American colleges and universities on Chinese college entrance examination results? Can the college entrance examination score be low enough to enter a famous American school?
Many parents are very concerned about the influence of college entrance examination results on the admission of American universities. They are worried that the unsatisfactory results of the college entrance examination will have an impact on their children's application for American universities. The results of college entrance examination have limited influence on undergraduate application in American universities. American universities pay more attention to students' usual grades and performance, and there is no rigid requirement for applicants to submit college entrance examination results. In the United States, no top 50 universities can apply for college entrance examination results. Good college entrance examination results can help students to apply for American universities, but they are not necessary and parents need not worry.
Failure in the college entrance examination can also get into a famous American school. Many students who went abroad to study after the college entrance examination did poorly in the college entrance examination. For the application for studying in the United States, the failure of the college entrance examination does not affect students' application for prestigious American schools. Students can apply for prestigious schools as long as they get good grades in the national college entrance examination SAT. The SAT is held seven times a year in the United States and six times a year in Hong Kong. Students have many opportunities to get high marks, which is not a lifelong exam in China. In addition, when enrolling students in the United States, you should look at TOEFL/"> The average score of TOEFL or SAT should also pay attention to students' comprehensive qualities, such as leadership, club activities, comprehensive ability, cross-cultural communication and so on. Therefore, students who fail in the college entrance examination can also go to famous American schools as long as they fully tap their bright spots.
Can I apply directly to an American university after the college entrance examination?
After the college entrance examination, it is imperative for candidates to make clear plans for studying abroad. It is suggested that students who are going to study abroad should first know the application deadline of universities in various countries, which schools and majors still have enrollment places, make scientific and reasonable study plans and application plans according to their own language and college entrance examination results, and arrange the time for language training and material preparation reasonably.
Among them, successfully passing the language barrier is a major task for candidates. It is suggested that students test their English level as soon as possible, review in a targeted way, and plan the time for review and application. For students whose English level is not very good, you can set aside two more exam opportunities in order to strive for the best results. In addition, the preparation of the application should start immediately, and don't wait until the language scores come out. This is sloppy and not conducive to the application.
In June, we should orient ourselves, choose schools, prepare transcripts and letters of recommendation, leave enough time for referees to write letters of recommendation, and leave enough time for transcripts. These two steps can be carried out at the same time as writing application materials.
In July, fill in the application form, keep in touch with the school and wait for admission.
In August, prepare a visa after getting the admission. Due to different personal circumstances, students and parents should consult professional study abroad service agencies and make reasonable study abroad plans to ensure that they apply to American institutions as soon as possible.

The school has issued two admission notices: one is the admission notice of the school language center, and the other is the conditional admission notice of the school undergraduate course, so it is also called "double admission". "Conditional" here means that students need to enter the language center first after entering school, and they can enter the undergraduate course directly after passing the language without additional application.

The second fastest way to study in the United States after the college entrance examination: community college
In this way, students study basic courses in community colleges for two years (freshmen and sophomores), and then transfer to four-year universities to complete the next two years (juniors and seniors). They can get associate degrees from community colleges and bachelor's degrees from four-year universities. Because the transferred four-year comprehensive universities are often famous schools, this method is also called the "famous school through train" of community colleges. American community colleges have low tuition fees, and the earliest admission was in the fall of 20 14.

How to choose American colleges and universities
Choosing institutions is an important part of applying for studying abroad, especially for students studying abroad after the college entrance examination. When choosing a school, fresh high school graduates should, first, not blindly follow the rankings, but choose a school that suits them according to their majors and conditions. Second, more than 3,600 universities in the United States offer undergraduate degrees. Students should determine three grades of schools according to their own strength and English level. It is very undesirable for high school students who are eager to go abroad to focus on only one grade. For applicants, lowering the requirements does not mean passing by a prestigious school. In the United States, there are many colleges and universities at the same time, and applicants can choose the more ideal school after receiving the letter of admission. At the same time, it is a common phenomenon that many colleges and universities in the United States recognize each other's credits, and it is a common phenomenon to change schools or majors. If the applicant can't be in place in one step for the time being, it is a good idea to lower the requirements. For example, if you can't meet the entrance requirements of your favorite university, you may wish to choose a school near the school but ranked lower, and then apply to your favorite university for transfer or complete a higher degree after the conditions are met.
