1, get ready.
Generally, the university application begins around September of the last semester in 12 grade, but when it comes to how to plan and prepare the university application, we generally suggest that we should make a good plan from 10 grade.
GPA: Many students will take some AP or honor courses in high school, and most students will choose to take these courses around 10 grade.
Extracurricular activities: you can prepare volunteers, scientific research, sports and music specialties, projects, competitions and other activities.
Teacher Topsy Zane suggested that the application form should be prepared about three to six months before the application deadline, including the choice of school major, the conception and writing of personal statement, the arrangement of the activity list, and some visits to the target schools.
Step 2 write a beautiful article
Let's take UC University as an example:
First of all, UC documents are four of the eight questions, and students should choose the most favorable topic to write. For example, UC will ask questions about leadership, creativity, personal advantages and how to overcome difficulties.
In fact, these questions are very simple and common, but sometimes students will have some misunderstandings and feel that they must reflect very important or grand events in the document in order to win the favor of UC.
But in fact, from a professional point of view, those who are often regarded as excellent documents are stories that are good at reflecting their own abilities and personality characteristics from some small things. This will not only let UC admissions officers see your outstanding ability in a certain aspect, but also understand your teamwork ability, emotional ability and social responsibility through this matter.
For example, Zane, a teacher in Topsy, once read a document that impressed me deeply. A student told a story about how he cultivated strawberries by using the chemical knowledge he learned in high school cabinets. From repeated failures at the beginning to the admiration of his classmates, he shared his knowledge and taught everyone to cultivate strawberries together. This kind of story is very wonderful.
The number of words in each UC document is limited, so you must choose stories that can profoundly reflect your abilities and characteristics, rather than literally praising yourself.
