When applying for undergraduate study abroad, the background evaluation of the applicant by the other institution is based on two aspects: academic ability level and personal quality.
The former is a hard indicator, and there is obviously a relatively unified standard. They can learn from diplomas, degree certificates and transcripts (including GRE, TOEFL, GMAT, IELTS, etc.). ) and the content of the graduation thesis. At present, under the general solid education level in China, this indicator is not the place that the other party cares most about.
The latter is a soft index, which represents a student's comprehensive situation. In different people's eyes and different academic and cultural backgrounds, it will get different evaluations. It can't be displayed entirely by grades, but more by the impression of interpersonal communication. This is why no matter how excellent the students' grades are, the other party still requires a recommendation letter from a senior professor, so as to have a comprehensive concept of students' potential, ability and moral quality.
With its strong strength, foreign universities have made undergraduate education a successful industry, attracting students from all over the world and creating huge foreign exchange income. In sharp contrast, many universities have begun to train new successors when they enter the postgraduate study stage. So they spend a lot of money to attract elites from all over the world to study. Aspiring students in our country can make great achievements in this respect, not only with the help of the other side, but also by building a bridge to promote mutual understanding and development between the two countries.
Short-term exchange abroad provides the other party with a rare opportunity to get to know the students, so that the students can be understood by the other party more deeply and accepted by the other party faster. Students can fully display their language level, professional knowledge, acceptance and wisdom in the process of communication. If students have the opportunity, it is ideal to interview in person in the institution they want to apply for. Otherwise, contact with peers as much as possible during training courses and visits, and their impressions will be the basis for recommendation and evidence. Even if this kind of communication brings costs, the convenience compared with it is still nine Niu Yi cents. It is more important and long-term consideration to get the favorite topic and the biggest funding smoothly.
