How do domestic ordinary high schools apply for foreign universities? It is still half a year before the 2023 college entrance examination. Now, we are going to make plans for our children, so that they can easily go to famous schools! College entrance examination is not the only way out. Instead of being "content with perfection" in ordinary universities in China, it is better to go abroad to usher in a bright future for children.
Difference between domestic and foreign universities 1. The number of exams is different.
Domestic universities are examination methods. Judging from the number of examinees, apart from the repetition factor, fresh graduates who take the college entrance examination only have one chance to take the college entrance examination every year.
Overseas universities are the way to apply, and there are many opportunities to develop their language and academic abilities. For example, TOEFL and IELTS can have more than 40 exam opportunities a year, and each student can take 3-6 exams to score.
2. Different evaluation methods
Admission to the domestic general college entrance examination mainly examines the scores of candidates in various subjects and scores them according to the total score;
When applying for foreign universities, students are required to provide extracurricular activities that can reflect their comprehensive abilities such as communication ability, leadership ability and sense of responsibility as supplementary evidence, in addition to excellent examination results.
3. The admission rate is different.
As far as college admission rate is concerned, the admission rate of colleges and universities in China is relatively low; However, the application requirements of foreign universities are relatively flexible and more likely.
4. Different preparation pressures
Judging from the current state of preparing for the college entrance examination in China, high school teaching is still exam-oriented education. It is a test of candidates' physical condition and a challenge to their mental health to measure the teaching effect by the final exam results and admission results.
Which country and city is suitable for going to? What do you need to prepare for studying abroad? United States of America
American undergraduate freshmen are generally divided into autumn enrollment and spring enrollment. As the autumn enrollment with the largest number of students and the widest professional scope, the number of applicants is often the largest every year. The general application deadlines for autumn admission are 65438+ 10/month, 65438+1 0/month, kloc-0/5, and February 1. The deadline for spring admission is generally around 10+0 every year.

Path 2: Admission to American Bridge University
Admission requirements: Bridge course means that students learn some academic courses while learning the language before entering the formal course, so as to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent university study. Different from the usual ESL language training, the bridge course will match some academic basic courses according to the students' language ability, and academic courses can be transferred to university credits. You don't need college entrance examination scores, just IELTS or TOEFL scores.
Path 3: Admission to American Community College
Admission requirements: American community colleges can also be called two-year associate degree. You can go to an advanced community college and then transfer to a comprehensive university, or you can get a degree certificate from a top university. The advantage of community colleges is that they teach in small classes and become a bridge to famous schools. In addition, most community colleges are public, and the tuition fees are very cost-effective.
Britain, England
Usually, domestic high school graduates need a one-year preparatory course to make up for the lack of language and professional courses, and then they will be promoted to undergraduate freshmen. This program can be applied to most universities in Britain. Another plan is to take a one-year international freshman course first, and then go to a sophomore and a junior. Although this scheme can save one year, there are usually fewer institutions offering international freshman courses! What parents need to pay special attention to is that the undergraduate program in Scotland is a four-year program, and the undergraduate program in other regions is a three-year program!
Cost of studying abroad: about 300,000 yuan/year.

Canada
Excellent college entrance examination results can indeed add points to applying for top universities in Canada, but it does not mean that college entrance examination results are the only criterion for Canadian universities to measure students. You can enter an excellent university in Canada without excellent college entrance examination results. Which famous Canadian school can you get into with your college entrance examination results? Do you have to have college entrance examination results to enter a famous Canadian school? Below, I recommend four kinds for different types of college entrance examination students.
Cost of studying abroad: about 250,000/year.
The fastest time to go abroad: September 2023
Application scheme:
Excellent results in the college entrance examination (standard score over 75%), with an average score of about 85 in high school, will have the opportunity to apply for top universities in Canada, such as University of Toronto, McGill University, University of Waterloo, McMaster University and Queen's University. Most of these schools require students to have a certain language score (at least IELTS 6.5, TOEFL: 90 or above), and most of them only have the opportunity to start school once a year in autumn.
If the child usually gets excellent grades in high school, but the results in the college entrance examination are not ideal. Children also have the opportunity to apply to the top ten medical and doctoral universities in Canada. Students can apply to university of alberta, the University of Ottawa, Dalhousie University, the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Western Ontario and Simon Fraser University only by providing excellent HKCEE scores and three-year general grades in high school. At the same time, this kind of university also provides the opportunity to enter the school on June 5438+ 10, 2004, so the students who apply can prepare TOEFL or IELTS scores in time in order to get the opportunity to enter the prestigious schools directly. If the English score is not satisfactory, the university also provides double admission, so that students can study the language in the university language center for a period of time and go straight to the application major after graduation.
If the children's college entrance examination and exams are average, students can apply to the college first, and then transfer credits to the university to complete their undergraduate studies. There are many excellent public colleges in Canada. Compared with public universities, most of them adopt small class system, and students and teachers have strong interaction. In addition, there are credit transfer agreements between colleges and public universities. As long as international students complete the 1-2-year courses in the college and meet the standards, they can transfer all their credits to public universities and continue their undergraduate studies in public universities.
Australia
Domestic high school graduates need to take a one-year preparatory course before taking the freshman exam. This scheme is suitable for applying to famous schools such as Australia, Sydney and Melbourne, and has low requirements for the average score of high schools. Students can also choose to take a one-year crash course for freshmen, and then take a course for sophomores and juniors directly. This program requires a higher average score for high school students!
Cost of studying abroad: about 300,000 yuan/year.
The fastest time to go abroad: 23 years, 65438+ 10 month.

Hong Kong
Compared with European and American countries, Hong Kong is one of the developed regions in the world. Education certification and English teaching are widely recognized, which is in line with the learning situation of domestic students and easy to be recognized by mainland students. On the other hand, the cost of studying in Hong Kong is much lower than that in Europe and America, and it can be borne by a wider range of economic groups. Moreover, it is similar to the cultural background of the mainland, and it is close to home, so you can arrange to go home to visit relatives at any time. Therefore, in recent years, studying in the SAR has become the choice of many mainland students.
Study abroad fee: about 6.5438+0.5 million Hong Kong dollars/year.
Path 1: Application for College Entrance Examination Results
Admission requirements: the scores of college entrance examination must reach the admission control scores of many undergraduate colleges before registration, and the scores of single subjects should reach the passing level in principle. Candidates only need to fill in the college volunteer program according to the unified recruitment, and do not need to register at the school alone.
At present, only the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the City University of Hong Kong provide this application channel.
Path 2: Independent enrollment of famous schools in Hong Kong
Admission requirements: Generally speaking, it is possible to get an interview opportunity if the score of the college entrance examination exceeds the admission control score of a batch of undergraduate college entrance examinations by more than 30 points, and the English score is generally required to be above 120 points.
Japan
Cost of studying abroad: about 654.38+10,000 RMB/year.
Path 1: language school (1 year) → university (4 years)
Japanese language schools are mainly aimed at students who have no Japanese level and a little Japanese foundation to study in Japan. Language schools will also help students choose schools and majors, and even arrange training before the entrance examination, including Japanese writing and interview counseling.
After completing the language school course, students can take the "Retention Examination" and enter the freshman course of Japanese universities after passing it.
In addition, language school students have enough time to arrange themselves, four classes every morning, and the rest of the time you can work or prepare for your further study.
Path 2: You can go directly to Japanese universities if you go directly to Japanese Level 2.
What are the practical tips for studying abroad 1. Download some map navigation software or applications.
Just a few years ago, many people dared not venture into a new city without reliable navigation software. Now with advanced application technology, it is easier to get a fast and reliable direction. Living in a big city, using maps is essential; Whether you use a paper map or an iPhone, when you inevitably get lost somewhere, you will thank you for buying the downloaded navigation software!
Avoid rush hour
If you travel by bus between 6: 00 am and 10, or between 5: 00 pm and 8: 00 pm, please plan to take a crowded train/tram/bus. When you are fully loaded, the journey often takes longer, and sometimes you may even have to wait for the next bus. Even at other times of the day, public transportation is not always 100% reliable, so-be sure to plan well. You may be late in the first few weeks of school, but your tutor may no longer accept traffic problems as an effective excuse for being late for class!
3. Be prepared for all kinds of weather.
If you come to study in London, or other cities with abundant annual rainfall, you should be prepared for rain. Many foreign students I met bought Wellington boots in the first week after their arrival. I don't think they can wear other clothes until April or so! In most big cities, you may often experience changes in the weather, and you may notice this more than usual-mainly because it is a little different from your living habits. It's important to bring clothes. If you plan to study in new york, it will keep you warm and dry in winter, but if you plan to study in China and Hongkong, you can take less. Be sure to be prepared.
Spend money wisely
No matter where you are in the city, there will be no shortage of projects that cost money. Clothing stores, restaurants, cafes, market stalls, charity salesmen, homeless people, putting coins engraved with your name into coin slots will cost money everywhere.
In order to avoid becoming a victim of crazy consumerism, please make sure that you have a fixed budget every week, buy most food and drinks from the supermarket (cook as much as possible), and try not to be tempted by all the amazing offers widely offered in the city. Be sure to pay attention to student discounts, but make sure you really get a bargain, not just something you don't need.
Interact with local people
I don't mean chatting with people you meet on the street, but asking local people where to go and what to do, so that you can stay away from the biggest tourist trap and find some cool places at the same time. In order to ensure your safety, just ask the people you think you can trust, such as the staff of the public information desk, the clerk and the librarian (they have enough time on hand! )
