7. At least 3-4 letters of recommendation. Letter of recommendation is one of the most important application materials. If the recommendation letter of 1-2 is not received by the school in time, it will not affect your application progress. I suggest you spend at least half an hour communicating with the teacher, telling him why you want to apply for this school, and then asking the teacher to write a letter of recommendation. In this way, the teacher will not only know something about your past, but also know something about your current thoughts, and the recommendation letter submitted will not be ordinary.
8. Interview. Is a very important process, if possible, try to arrange an interview with the school teacher.
