作为专业留学顾问在为学生申请英国名校的过程中,结合学生专业及自身的特点准确为学生定位学校是非常重要的一个环节,如果学校定位不准确,所有的努力将功亏一篑。
蒋同学,甘肃某大学大四在读学生,公共健康专业,意愿申请英国名校及澳大利亚名校公共健康硕士学位课程。
学生背景:国内211大学
标准化成绩:GPA76%分,雅思6.5
申请期望: 英国名校,澳大利亚八大名校
申请结果:成功申请到英国名校利兹大学,澳大利亚昆士兰大学无条件录取通知书
优 势:211院校,社会活动力强,所学专业和申请专业对口
劣势:GPA过低,按以往经验,利兹大学需要211大学最低平均分在80分以上。(在申请前已与学生沟通,由于GPA较低申请到英国名校的可能性不是很大,但表示会为学生尽力争取)
分析:
英国的名校除了对学生大四在读的成绩看重之外,学生的综合能力也是英国名校考虑的重点。
从2011年英国名校的录取率来看,与去年同期水平相比,英国名校对学生GPA的要求普遍大幅度提高。对于211大学的学生,最低的平均分入取标准是82分以上。从蒋同学的学术背景情况来看,76分成绩已是既定事实,但学生社会活动能力非常活跃。除了积极参加校内的各种活动、社会实习工作以外,学生还在汶川震后组建一个叫NGO的公益社团,帮助灾后的人民进行心理健康咨询、预防儿童疾病以及为灾区筹集善款等。而学生这些个人的社会活动和组织能力正符合英国名校录取标准。所以我们抓住这一亮点,重分发掘学生的自身优势,从多方面来提升学生的背景。在申请材料里,把一个有报负,敢担当,积极向上的蒋同学充分展现出来。通过专业文案老师材料的缜密制作,最终为学生成功申请到英国利兹大学,澳大利亚昆士兰大学。
TIPS
从事留学行业十多年,在业界的知名度和国外学校的认可度都是非常高。顾问老师大多有从业七年以上的经验。通过公司推荐的学生,只要学生各方面都达到学校要求,英国名校肯定会优先考虑录取。学生要想申请名校,就需要提前做专业规划,得到专业老师的指导与正确定位评估,进名校的可能性就会大大增加。
