Unscramble the misunderstanding in the application for studying abroad in the United States

Many things will happen in the process of applying for studying in the United States, and there are often many application misunderstandings. The following are some misunderstandings summarized by experts based on years of practical experience to prevent them from making the same mistakes in the process of studying in the United States. Misunderstanding 1 of American application for studying abroad: Haitou

Many China students apply for American middle schools by adopting the strategy of "going up", and only those who hit it count, and some even lack a basic understanding of the schools they apply for. It is not appropriate to do so. After all, students may study in this school for 2-3 years. If they don't know enough about the school, they may find that they are not their ideal school when they get to school. At the same time, the school will pay more attention to students' understanding of the school when enrolling students, so why do you want to apply for this school? It is suggested that qualified students and parents visit the school in the United States in person, so that they can not only have a deep understanding of the school, but also leave a deep impression on the students.

Misunderstanding 2 of studying in the United States: good grades? King?

This is also the misunderstanding of many China students, who think that they can get an OFFER if they get good grades. Good grades are of course important, but American private middle schools also attach great importance to students' comprehensive quality. American high schools prefer students with the following qualities: independence and self-confidence; Have a sense of self-identity and honor; Actively and bravely participate in the school's colorful activities and welcome creative students. All students in Forest Lake Middle School should take part in art courses, extracurricular sports activities and community service projects, which are set according to the four educational concepts of the school: personality, knowledge, responsibility and qualified citizens.

In fact, in recent years, with the sharp increase in the number of China students applying to study in the United States, the quality of students' applications is also constantly improving. Many students not only have excellent academic performance, but also have outstanding performance in the activities or specialties of the Canadian Immigration Conditional Group. Under the same conditions, the latter is of course easier to win.

Misunderstanding 3 of American application for studying abroad: the interview is not important

Generally, good private middle schools in the United States want to interview students; During the interview, the school will definitely evaluate the students' English ability. Therefore, if students meet the requirements of the school and are formally accepted by the school, they will generally not have great difficulties in speaking English after arriving in the United States, and will adapt to it after a period of time. However, in written English (reading comprehension, writing), you still have to work very hard to get good grades.

Many students mistakenly think that the interview is not important, in fact, the interview occupies a considerable proportion in the enrollment process. Because many China students' application materials are made by others now, sometimes they can't reflect the students' real level. Therefore, American schools attach great importance to interviews. Through interviews, students can be fully understood in terms of language, personality, quality and understanding of the school.

Interview is generally divided into telephone interview or SKYPE chat tool interview and designated place interview. The former interview time is generally not very long, about 10- 15 minutes. The interviewer needs to have a strong listening ability, because the telephone signal from abroad is not necessarily good, but it is good in most cases, and the interviewer will chat with the students at a slower speed.

Interview at the designated place for studying in the United States: This place is mostly in Beijing or Shanghai and other big cities. The interviewer will contact you in advance to make an appointment by email, perhaps in a hotel, and the interviewer will also have a brief chat with his parents. The advantage of this kind of interview is that the interviewer can get to know the students better, thus increasing the chances of admission, but the time is generally longer, about 30 minutes to 40 minutes, depending on the situation.

Finally, I still want to tell you to avoid the misunderstanding of studying in the United States.
