Application skills of graduate students studying in Finland
1. Magnetization before use is very important.
Many students are worried about their poor English when applying, and will try to avoid contacting the school. In fact, active magnetization is very simple. First find the professor you are interested in, write an email to introduce yourself briefly, and then confirm with the professor whether to recruit people. The advantage of this is that the purpose of the application is more clear. If you can determine the research direction of professors who are interested in you in advance, you will be more targeted when writing PS. Combine the professor's research direction with his own relevant experience and interest, so that writing can impress the teacher more.
2. Clever analysis of 2.GPA
Some students' four-year GPA is very average, but sometimes the GPA only affects the final grade because of the low score in a certain semester or year. Such students can make a simple explanation in their resumes or PS. This can prevent the professor from being directly rejected because of the low GPA when listening to the material.
Don't worry about language achievement.
Of course, the higher the applicant's language score, the better. But sometimes, students' grades are not satisfactory, and sometimes they can apply if their TOEFL scores are slightly lower than the requirements of the school. Although the language score is slightly lower, being able to communicate smoothly with professors or interviews will add points to your application.
