If understanding British education begins with applying step by step, then adapting to the British thinking mode must start from the moment you receive the rejection letter.
Although there was no psw in those years, the enthusiasm of China people to apply for studying in the UK is still increasing, especially the proportion of graduate students is quite high.
Pk between excellent candidates will inevitably make some people unable to get their favorite offer. Rejection letters sometimes really change the applicant's whole trip to Britain.
Why do you refuse to believe that it conflicts with the British mode of thinking? Because the admission of British universities is almost standardized, there are not many subjective decision-making factors. Especially those listed admission criteria, there is generally no room for expansion.
Some schools will explain the reasons in the rejection letter, such as the applicant does not meet the admission criteria. For example, if you express in your personal statement that you want to study in practice, but the courses you apply for are theoretical, then you will often receive rejection letters.
Therefore, according to the British thinking, domestic university diplomas and degree certificates, domestic undergraduate transcripts, IELTS scores, letters of recommendation and personal statements are indispensable.
The staff will check the materials in order. If any link does not meet the requirements of the school, they will not look down, and the applicant will not get the admission notice.
However, judging from IELTS scores and average scores, British universities will have some room for "expansion", but only if you have other advantages over competitors with the same conditions.
So if you receive a rejection letter, argue will definitely do it. But first, we must find out why we refused. After all, some schools don't specify the reasons.
The rejection letter of British universities is roughly as follows: the school background does not meet the application requirements; The average score of the applicant does not meet the professional requirements of the application; The applied major is inconsistent with the major studied; IELTS does not meet the requirements of applying for a major; The applicant does not have the relevant background of the applied major, etc.
If it is rejected because of insufficient academic achievements, then the debate should start with professional courses, emphasize the excellent performance of their professional courses, highlight relevant academic research or internship experience, and highlight the advantages of portfolios or awards.
If the score is slightly different from the score required by the other school, you can also emphasize your grade ranking or class ranking.
If you are rejected because your IELTS score is not enough, you will get two points. It's hard to say that the total score is not enough, but if it's just not enough, you can provide other IELTS scores or get an interview.
Both cases are more suitable for debate, but the other cases are more difficult. It is recommended to choose a school that suits you as soon as possible, or prepare a guaranteed school when applying.
Generally speaking, it is normal for British universities to send rejection letters. Although there is no limit to the number of schools to apply for, in order to save your time and energy, you must be clear about the application requirements of the school before applying, so that you can prepare for your grades or internships one or two years in advance.
