How to identify black intermediaries when studying abroad

The number of students studying abroad reaches about 500 thousand every year, most of whom study at their own expense. DIY study abroad is still a minority, and most parents or students hope to make their study abroad plans more certain and closer to the schools they want to go through the intermediary. But there are many intermediaries who use everyone's psychology to make all kinds of problems cost you more money. This is the means of black intermediaries. Let's take a closer look.

1. The title background is not important.

De-intermediation platform, establish famous school turtle, subordinate of a charity, XXX Council, former counselor of a country and former immigration officer. The application admission rate and visa pass rate are not determined by the tall name and introduction, but by his professional level.

2. Nothing can be trusted.

Graduation package immigration, graduation package work, read this project to enter a prestigious school. Now the country doesn't even take care of the elderly. Do you still believe this?

3. Data is not the foundation

80% of the graduates entered the top 500, 95% of the graduates graduated, and 75% of the graduates entered prestigious schools. Is there any moisture in the data? 10 Best data in a year? It didn't come true in the end. You must be that percentage. No wonder others, like every accident, the death toll will never exceed 35. ...

It is not enough to shop around.

Students and parents have very little knowledge about studying abroad. Don't think that chatting with a few beautiful and handsome consultants can clear the way. The same X-ray can also show different diseases in different hospitals. Then you have to ask, how many hospitals are enough? I think the more the better, at least five. The process of operating intermediary is a process of accumulating experience. The higher the experience value, the lower the possibility of being defeated by monsters.

5. cure all diseases = unprofessional

How do you feel when the consultant teacher says "I can do it in America", "I can do it in Argentina" and "Africa is not a problem"?

6. A company and a consultant are not the same thing.

There will be consultant teachers assigned to provide services, and the professionalism of this teacher has nothing to do with the scale and brand of the company, just as there will be water-rich teachers in Tsinghua and famous professional teachers in Lan Xiang.

7. Don't pay in a hurry

Every company exists to make money, so you don't have to communicate with the idea that "they just want to make my money". As long as it is worth spending, you have to spend it. However, we should carefully choose the money spent and the water spilled, the water under the bridge. Read the terms of the contract carefully, and it is best to consult relevant legal persons.

8. Suggestions are sometimes unpleasant. Don't take the concept of "not going to a prestigious school" and correctly understand your own level. China grass chicken will not become an American phoenix. Many times, the consultants who hold opposing opinions are very professional.

9. Agency fee should not be a problem.

There is little difference in intermediary service fees. In view of hundreds of thousands of tuition and living expenses and bright future abroad, the difference between 5000 yuan and 1000 yuan should not be the standard for choosing an intermediary.

10. The feedback from experienced people is the most authentic.

The user experience is the most helpful. Most importantly, the information provided by users can be specific to a teacher in an institution, which can not only save you a lot of time, but also designate a teacher to serve.

Through the above explanation, you must know something about the scam of the study abroad agent. Anyway, read more and ask more questions, and it doesn't hurt to hand it in.
