Case reappearance

Early communication

Liu Tongxue is a senior three student who graduated from a senior high school in Beijing on 20 1 1 with an average score of 93. At school, she also won two straight A prizes. In addition, her college entrance examination score reached 625, which is quite good in Beijing.

Liu Tongxue is particularly interested in biology and won the second prize in the school biology competition. Therefore, in the application for studying abroad, parents and teachers respect her choice. In this way, the first choice problem of studying abroad application is solved.

Next, it is necessary to analyze Liu Tongxue's strengths and weaknesses and make a reasonable choice for her.

The advantages of Liu Tongxue's application are: excellent performance in school and college entrance examination. Some famous universities in Canada require senior three students to provide college entrance examination results, and the results must meet certain standards. Therefore, even if senior three students plan to study in Canada after graduating from high school, they should take the college entrance examination and their usual academic performance seriously.

The disadvantage of Liu Tongxue's application is that the TOEFL score is not high. Although it meets the admission requirements, it is not much higher than the admission line. So this will affect her sprint to a prestigious school to a certain extent.

On this basis, Mr. Ren made the following application list:

1, University of Toronto: 20 1 1 McCawlin ranked second in medicine.

2. University of British Columbia: 20 1 1, Macquarie Medical ranked fourth.

3. York University York University: 20 1 1 year, ranking 9 th in McCawlin comprehensive category.

4. university of alberta, university of alberta: 20 1 1, Macquarie ranked 5th in medical discipline.

5. Simon Fraser University Simon Fraser University: 20 1 1 McCawlin comprehensive ranking 1.

6. McMaster University McMaster University: 20 1 1 year, Macquarie Medical ranked sixth.

Application process

The list of materials required for domestic high school students to apply for undergraduate courses in Canadian universities is as follows:

1, letters of recommendation (1-2 letters)

2. Personal statement

3. Resume resume

4. Transcript

5. Proof of academic qualifications or proof of reading. Art students need a portfolio.

7. Various certificates (award certificates)

8. IELTS/TOEFL report (IELTS or TOEFL transcript)

9. Visa or MasterCard?

In addition to the advantages of applying for the World Heritage, Mr. Yu also emphasized his interest in biology. And in the application materials, students' active participation in biological competitions is used to prove this point, so as to increase the credibility of the materials.

After passing the TOEFL test, I took the initiative to ask Mr. Yu about the application, and constantly checked the school admission with Mr. Yu.

Good news came.

One winter morning, the admission notice from the University of British Columbia suddenly came.

In addition, Liu Tongxue also received an undergraduate admission notice from McMaster University.

Then a bigger surprise came. University of alberta sent an acceptance letter to Liu Tongxue and gave her a scholarship of 8,500 Canadian dollars.

In early March, in the spring, Liu Tongxue received the most coveted admission notice from the University of Toronto.

Teacher Yu's warm reminder

Students who are studying in senior three are preparing for the college entrance examination on the one hand and studying abroad on the other. How to allocate your time reasonably and win the college entrance examination and study abroad?

Three application schemes

1, if you have language scores, you can directly apply for undergraduate courses:

China students can directly apply to Canadian universities as long as their average score in senior high school is above 75, 80 in the new TOEFL or 6.5 in IELTS, but some famous universities in Canada need college entrance examination scores, which are required to meet certain standards.

2. If you have no language scores, you can apply for "double admission", that is, conditional admission.

More than 20 Canadian universities offer TOEFL-free conditional admission to help international students get through the language barrier. At the time of admission, the university also issued two admission notices: one is the admission notice of the school language center, and the other is the conditional admission notice of the undergraduate course. After entering the school, students first enter the language center to learn English. Once the language passes, you can directly enter the undergraduate study without applying separately. This kind of admission is called "double admission".

3. If you have no language scores or poor high school scores, you can apply for college preparation.

The preparatory course for studying in Canada is actually the last year of Canadian high school. For domestic fresh candidates, except for a few outstanding students who can try to apply directly to the top universities in Canada, most students will choose to enter the top universities in Canada through preparatory courses.

Strictly speaking, the pre-university courses for foreign students in China include language courses (English as a second language course, referred to as "ESL") and professional courses (12-year college preparatory course, referred to as "12U").
