What are the specific application steps for studying abroad?

To study abroad, students must first know how to apply. Application for studying abroad is a key step to study abroad, so let's come and see what processes and steps the application includes. What application materials do you need to prepare?

first, the steps of applying for studying abroad

first, determine the school and study program

when it comes to studying abroad, our main purpose is to study, so a reasonable orientation is particularly important. In the process of choosing a school, it should be clear that the "ideal" school is not necessarily the one with the highest ranking, but the one that suits your conditions best. After determining the goals of the college, you must know more about the information of the application project and the deadline, so that you can arrange your standardized examination reasonably.

Second, know the information about the cost of studying abroad

Know your own funds in advance. Tuition fees of different schools will be different. At the same time, we can learn about the local daily consumption by combining the geographical location of the school, which is also convenient for rational planning of funds.

Third, complete the application work

This part of the application work mainly includes GRE&; TOEFL delivery, preparation of paperwork, online application and mailing, etc. So be sure to leave enough time for this step so that you can fully prepare the relevant materials. Paperwork is a key point. In the process of writing documents, we must be familiar with the key points of various documents and what materials are needed. After writing the first draft, we should leave time to revise and polish it and make a perfect set of documents for ourselves.

check the application requirements of the school in advance. Other materials such as deposit certificate, report card, proof of studying (diploma degree certificate), passport, etc. should also be prepared in advance, so don't miss the deadline for application.

Fourth, preparing for the visa

This step shows that we have successfully obtained the OFFER from the school, and the application work is coming to an end, but the step of applying for a visa can not be ignored, so we must prepare carefully.

visa steps

first, determine the visa type. We should determine the visa type before applying for a study visa. There are usually two types: F visa and M visa. F visa is applicable to applicants who go abroad for academic study, and M visa is applicable to applicants who go abroad for non-academic study or vocational study. Usually, people apply for F1 visas.

second, fill out the application form for studying abroad. The application form for studying abroad visa is an application form for foreign non-immigrant visa, and students can only fill it out when applying for a visa at the embassy.

third, pay the application fee. The application fee is non-refundable. After paying the fee, everyone will receive a receipt, which will be submitted to the visa officer together with other application materials in the formal interview.

Fourth, make visa reservation. Next, visit official website of embassies in China to make an online visa reservation.

Fifth, conduct an interview. During the interview, the visa officer will ask you some questions about the reasons and conditions for studying abroad. Everyone must answer truthfully, but you must never reveal that you have an immigration tendency and can be refused a visa directly.

Second, the materials for applying for studying abroad

1. Transcripts in Chinese and English

Generally, the Academic Affairs Office of a school will have templates of transcripts in Chinese and English for going abroad. If not, you should make them yourself according to the requirements of the school. It would be best if the school system can automatically export English transcripts. Some schools need to download the transcripts themselves, then fill in their own transcripts as required, and then go to the Academic Affairs Office to stamp them.

2. Certificate of study in Chinese and English/diploma/degree certificate

If you haven't graduated yet, you need to issue a certificate of study in Chinese and English to prove that you are a student now. These certificates of study should also have templates for reference, just fill in your own information according to the requirements of the template, and then stamp it;

If you have graduated, you need to scan and print out your diploma degree certificate, and then apply for an English diploma degree certificate according to the requirements of the school, and then stamp it.

3. Grade/class ranking certificate in Chinese and English

If your grade ranking is very high, but it doesn't appear on the report card, you can make a grade or class ranking in Chinese and English in the department, the academic affairs office of the school or other places designated by the school. Of course, this is not necessary, but it is sometimes useful. In the future application system, you may be asked to fill in the ranking. It will be more convincing to have this school statement.

4. Passport

It's recommended that you apply for your passport at the same time when you apply for other materials. You need to apply for your passport at the place where your account is registered. If your account has been moved to the place where your school is located, you can apply for it at the local exit-entry administration. If your account is still in your hometown, you have to go back to your hometown in person. Generally, it takes half a month to complete it. Try to do it as soon as possible to avoid not doing it when you need it urgently.

5. passport-sized photos

Generally, you need to provide photos, just provide 2-inch photos of the size of your passport. You'd better keep more photos for future use. To ensure that the photos meet the requirements of studying abroad, please prepare them according to the requirements of passport photos, because the requirements of passport photos are very comprehensive. (Take off your glasses and headgear, and don't laugh and show your teeth when taking photos with the camera.)

Third, the purpose of studying abroad

1. Study abroad for hobbies. Because children like scientific research, art and humanities, they want to go to the United States to learn cutting-edge knowledge and receive good humanistic influence. Children have pursuits, and parents are of course happy to see them come true.

This kind of students have basically determined the direction they want to study. Although it is not particularly clear, the scope is delineated. For this kind of students, what should be paid attention to in the application? In addition to reaching the standard, students should highlight their interest and ability in the professional direction. This is best expressed through extracurricular activities and award-winning honors.

study abroad to achieve higher pursuit. This kind of students have strong autonomy and clear pursuit of value, and their parents' will is no longer important. This kind of students are few in number, and they mainly think about the significance of studying abroad from the perspective of social value and life value.

so what do these students need to show in their application materials? The most important thing is to show your concern for the people around you and the society, your thinking about social problems, and the human character displayed in the process of growing up. We have been emphasizing the need to do meaningful social activities, but we don't mean that we must go to remote areas to teach and do charitable activities. You can do any activity, but when you show these activities in documents, you should be able to reflect students' thoughts, views on the current social situation, and what changes students are trying to make in order to solve a certain problem. When choosing schools, such students can give more consideration to places that provide elite education, such as colleges of arts and sciences.
