First of all, I tell a story. A girl in my high school read two books in China at the undergraduate stage, but entered Oxford University at the postgraduate stage. Because, I used to grow up in a state-owned enterprise, and primary school to high school were all through-train teaching. That junior's mother and my mother also know each other, which is a classic case I have heard.
The school she attends belongs to two schools. Although it is two schools, internationally, this school belongs to 500 schools with internationally recognized academic qualifications among all institutions in China. Therefore, her achievements in various subjects at school are recognized abroad. This is the premise. Without this premise, she will definitely not be able to apply for a prestigious foreign school.
Secondly, she majored in liberal arts at university. If I remember correctly, she majored in sociology. Her professional courses are very good, and it is important to get excellent grades in every course. Before applying for studying abroad, you need to print out the scores of all subjects during the whole university period, and then the college will stamp them. It's ok to whitewash the general elective courses, but the professional courses are about credibility and there is no chance to change them.
Third, I think it's the most important thing, and it's based on this that she can be admitted to a prestigious school like Oxford University. Under the guidance of the intermediary, her rich stepfather helped her open a foundation in Africa to donate money to local women and children. During her college years, she also went to Africa twice, which was largely the routine of her foundation. This left a very deep impression on her. And this activity is related to her sociology department.
Finally, her English level is still very good, whether it is exam results or oral English level, it is indeed possible to be a hit. When I made my resume, I also sent a speech video in English to the school. Therefore, from the resume, she is particularly outstanding. Therefore, her final admission has always been a classic case of her domestic universities and intermediaries who have to help him study abroad.
In short, students from one or two colleges can be admitted to graduate students from top universities in the world. Besides studying hard and having certain strength, intermediary experience and extraordinary financial resources can play a decisive role. Choosing a liberal arts major with a probability of graduation success is also the reason why she dares to invest like this.
From this point of view, China's education level from kindergarten to undergraduate is still the world's leading. If domestic undergraduates have a certain level of English, in fact, relying solely on IQ and learning ability is enough to kill foreign undergraduates with the same level. Even in an excellent country like Germany, many undergraduates in their country can't do ordinary calculations without calculators, which is enough to explain the problem.
In addition to my junior year, there is also a junior studying in University 2 1 1, majoring in foreign languages. She is a graduate student and a doctoral student at Harvard University. Last year, she helped their school publish the information of recruiting Asian programmers. From that information, I learned that the salary of foreign programmers is so high. In addition, when I was studying in Tongji, there was a Shanghainese majoring in electrical engineering who often came to our German major. He was also a graduate student of the world's top Munich University.
However, college admission and graduation are two different things. We can see that domestic ordinary undergraduate students can apply for admission notices from famous foreign universities, which does not mean that they will be able to graduate smoothly. This does not mean that they will be able to continue their studies and receive further education.
It is scientific research that ultimately determines the success or failure of a country's higher education. The characteristic of our country is strict entry and wide exit, but in the postgraduate stage, whether you can graduate is also very strict. Therefore, doctoral students always feel that they are freelancers of tutors. I can't help it, because the university wants to produce results.
The same is true abroad. Universities can recruit you relatively loosely, but whether you can graduate or continue your studies must meet the standards of universities. To put it bluntly, you can go to a foreign university if you give enough money. For example, a rich man donated money to a famous foreign school to send his son to college, right? But earning your money may not make you graduate.
Take my junior year in Oxford as an example. She studied liberal arts, so it was relatively easy to graduate. It is said that she graduated with great difficulty, after all, the IQ of the second exam is there. In the end, I married a local China. If you don't continue to study for a doctorate, you won't have a brilliant life, which is to change your destiny.
Students who came to our department for a German class also asked me to go to 18 and travel to my city. The state at that time was that graduate students delayed graduation. It has been 2 1 year now, and it is said that he has not graduated successfully. All netizens studying in Germany should know that graduate students studying in Germany can't even graduate after studying for 10 years.
Most students who can't graduate will choose to quit school because of difficulties. For example, I used to have two colleagues at work. They also studied in Germany, but both of them were dropouts. I just couldn't graduate and gave up.
Therefore, in university education, both undergraduate education in China and Europe and the United States will achieve the same goal after postgraduate and doctoral studies in the later period. Only those who are really suitable for research and have high IQ can settle down in the final screening process.
Therefore, it doesn't mean anything that undergraduates from domestic ordinary universities are admitted to graduate students from famous foreign universities. With the means, experience, money, enough foreign language ability and professional level, even by rote memorization and a little luck, there is a chance to apply to a famous foreign school. When you enter a famous foreign school, you may hang up a lot of foreign students for a while. Who is the strongest in the end? Can you make academic achievements? That's another matter.
