2. From now on, go to the local study abroad consulting institutions (designated universities have English study abroad counseling) and study according to others' study plans. There are plans and teachers to teach. Active learners don't have to make any learning plans, and lazy passive learners can't implement them well if they make plans.
3. I suggest that you should take both IELTS and TOEFL, because different countries and universities require different grades. Some universities take IELTS, while others take TOEFL. You said that Canada is the same.
4. Specific time for IELTS and TOEFL exams: At present, exams are arranged almost every month in major cities all over the country. You can check the exam information online, register on time, take the exams on time, and indicate the mailing transcripts when filling out the form.
5. Application materials: Now we have to identify an institution, and then we need to prepare some application materials and translate them into English:
1) Original transcripts in Chinese and English issued by the school authorities (the transcripts are stamped+the school envelope is stamped and sealed, so we need to prepare several copies of +1 if we plan to report to several schools, and the extra copy should not be sealed, but the envelope should be stamped and the transcripts should be stamped) (Note: how many copies are planned to apply).
2) Original degree certificate+letter of graduation certificate (English translation+official seal)+resume.
3) At least two letters of recommendation from the head teacher, teacher and tutor in the department (in English). Signature and seal are required (note: one set should be prepared when submitting the application materials).
4) Your own study plan or research plan (in English)
5) Your detailed description of your major, as well as easy-to-understand examples (in English)+your papers published in the professional field+related publications (in English)+an example to illustrate the practical application of your major in China (in English).
6) Other materials proving your close ties with China+seal (English. Mainly to prove that you have no tendency to immigrate).
7）TOEFL & GRE report card (take more exams in this year so that you can use your best report card. Taking more exams is to choose high scores, and there is no harm). Of course, there are also double admissions, but if you want to go to other people's language schools in the past, the cost will be high, which will delay the time of studying abroad. It is better to pass the exam in China.
8) I have to go to the public security bureau to apply for my passport. All these things were handled in this year, and it is not too early to start now.
9) Parents' proof of capital guarantee, proof of work and income (translated into English)
1) Bank deposit certificate (with an amount of 2, ~ 3,) and original certificates of deposit and passbook (for graduate students, 3, a year is generally enough in Britain) (be careful not to provide huge deposits to prove your wealth).
in addition, we should pay attention to whether supplementary materials can be sent. 1. Almost all schools allow applicants to submit additional materials other than the application form. Related majors in many schools accept copies, photos and tapes of various works of art, as well as academic papers and other additional materials that applicants wish to submit. For example, due to the limited space in the application form, it is impossible to reflect the overall situation. Therefore, additional materials should be carefully prepared.
Generally speaking, additional materials consist of academic honor, work experience and experimental report. If you have won many awards in various competitions in the whole country, cities and districts, you can make dozens of honors in mathematics, chemistry, English, composition and calligraphy competitions into exquisite tables in order of disciplines, indicating the date, name, award-winning grade and awarding unit of the competition, and attach copies of various honorary certificates. Secondly, make a detailed list of your work experience and published works. In addition, translate your best experimental report into English. In short, these are all things that can't be written or reflected on the application form. All schools that are allowed to send additional materials should send one set.
2. Personal academic excellence is a primary condition for foreign universities to select talents. The applicant's report card, the difficulty of the courses studied, the scores of standard exams such as ranking, SAT and TOEPL, the awards won in academic competitions, and even the training attended are all valued by the Admissions Office. Academic potential is manifested in academic ability beyond the general academic level.
3. Social activities are an important aspect next to academics. The admissions office looks for evidence that can prove the applicant's sense of responsibility and leadership ability in the application for campus and social activities. They want to know the applicant's achievements, motivation, leadership, energy, diligence, integrity, fairness and enthusiasm. Because scores can't fully explain academic potential, let alone reflect people's overall quality.
4. Personality talent charm. This is a very important point in the admission of foreign universities. In addition, students with outstanding talents can be evaluated by professional teachers or coaches in universities.
5. Personal artistic expertise. An applicant's artistic works, such as visual arts, dance, drama or music, can be evaluated by university teachers, who can decide whether to give special consideration to the applicant's specialties when judging the admission.
Visa:
You can only get a visa three months before the start of school. There is nothing to arrange. The admission notice of the school you want to study has arrived, and you can get a visa only three months after you leave school. Prepare visa materials and master some interview skills.
study plan:
in the process of applying for study abroad and visa, you are often asked to write a study plan.
Generally speaking, study regulations can be divided into two categories according to the purpose of submission, which are used for applying for visas to embassies or for applying for admission to schools. The study plan used to apply for a school is essentially the same kind of document as the personal statement. For the study plan for school application, you can refer to the articles on personal statement, and the most important thing is to submit the study plan for embassy visa.
European and American countries, especially immigrant countries, such as France, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc., often require a study plan when applying for a foreign student visa. Through the study plan, visa officers can understand your background, choose the motivation and conditions of studying abroad, choose the reasons for studying in this country, and make clear the future study schedule, career goals and reasons for returning to China. Therefore, the study plan is a key document.
generally speaking, the study plan should include the following aspects.
1. Briefly explain your study experience, professional background and work experience;
2. Explain your motivation for further study and why you chose this country, this university and this major;
3. Detailed study abroad schedule;
4. Introduce the funds and sources needed for studying abroad;
5. Elaboration of future career goals and reasons for returning to China after studying abroad.
generally, it should not be too long or need flowery language, and it is best not to exceed about 8 words. It's best to explain a problem with a paragraph, and add a title before the paragraph, such as My Choice of University of Toronto in Canada, My Career Objective, etc., so that the embassy staff can see the central idea of your paragraph at a glance. Your exposition should be very clear and easy to read, and you can't expect the embassy staff to "dig" your "potential" content from your words.
The key part of the study plan is the future career plan and the reasons for returning to China after studying abroad. Through this part, you can tell the embassy that after studying in that country, it can really help your career development and there are credible and powerful reasons for returning to China. Although the country that requires to study the planning book is often an immigrant country, because the reason for applying for a visa is to study abroad, you must eliminate any immigration tendency through the study plan. The reasons for returning to China should be reasonably explained in combination with your personal background and family situation.
