What are the tricks of study abroad agents, and what are the intermediary traps on the way to study

In fact, intermediaries cannot judge whether they are good or bad, because there are many influencing factors in the application process, and the agency is important, but the consultant of the institution is more important. It is necessary to pay attention to the qualifications of the institution and the reputation of the consultant teacher, and the right choice is the one that suits you. You have to learn more about several institutions and shop around.

Everything is comparatively speaking, how good is the level of the big intermediary teachers, and the teachers of small companies are also very likely to hide their merits and fame, and the level of experience is outstanding.

There are many study abroad agencies, in addition to the more common large institutions, there are a variety of small and medium-sized institutions, and even individual studios, in order to find out a reliable institution, there are three points to pay attention to: one is the qualifications and advantages of the institution, the second is the stability and professional level of the consultant teacher, and the third is the quality of the documents.

Study abroad agents are legally engaged, but their business has their own strengths, their reputation is different, and their consultants are highly mobile. You can first check the list of legal study abroad agents, qualifications and reputation.

It is recommended that students should compare more than one in the early consultation, and do not hastily believe in the so-called institutional popularity, although some large companies look high-end and high-grade on the outside, but once they sign students, they will "cross the river and tear down the bridge", and perfunctory incidents in the later stage are endless in the study abroad community. On the contrary, some small-scale institutions are more specialized in the early and late services for students. Therefore, you need to communicate with consultants in depth, truly understand all aspects of study abroad, and choose the most suitable intermediary agency according to your own situation.

When choosing a study abroad agent, students and parents must choose the right agency after making a comprehensive understanding and evaluation of their own situation, and in addition, in an intermediary, the consultant is the core. A high-level consultant must be professional, patient, good at listening, good at analysis and attention to detail, they should be a combination of psychologist, education expert, and career design expert. In the end, it is the consultant who deals with you the most and actually helps you with studying abroad, so when choosing an agent, the consultant is also a key factor that cannot be ignored!

Study abroad agent word-of-mouth inquiry.

I also wanted to know more about this, and when I tried many ways to learn about the preparation required to study in the United States, I found that I didn't know anything about it. Under the recommendation of my classmates, I learned that there are institutions such as American study abroad agents that can help us, such as New Oriental, Fujimen, Wisdom Study Abroad, and other institutions, so I have done more detailed research on these institutions. From their own economic strength, the seriousness and responsibility of these study abroad agents and the faculty, the three institutions have been compared.

1. New Oriental study abroad, the advantage is that there are many advertisements and high visibility, but a study abroad agency should consider more about the acceptance rate and reputation, I heard a senior sister in the upstairs dormitory say that she was applying for studying in the United States at New Oriental, and then she was not admitted for some reasons, and the cooperation with New Oriental was not very pleasant, saying that there were too many students with 1 teacher, and there was not enough attention to each student, which affected me.

2. The advantage of Fujimen Study Abroad Agency is that it only focuses on studying in the United States in the early days, and the service concept of small and refined service makes the service of each student fine, which has laid a good reputation. But the disadvantage is that in recent years, in the rapid expansion, all over the country to open branches, so that the small and fine fine service quality greatly discounted, some seniors said that the later service obviously felt that the degree of attention declined, may be the reason why the teacher brought many students and miscellaneous, and the fee has also increased a lot, not ordinary families to bear.

3. When I was in distress, a high school classmate recommended me to Wisdom Study Abroad, and he applied for an undergraduate degree in the United States and was admitted to the University of California, Berkeley, which ranks among the top 20 in the United States. The advantages of smart study abroad are obvious, the service method of small and refined, small and beautiful, and the concept of refining each student's application, I like it very much. Moreover, the carefulness and responsibility of the smart study abroad teachers also gave me a deep sense of trust.

In the dialogue, I also gradually recognized Wisdom Study Abroad, an American study abroad consulting agency, they focus on doing American applications, and the American bachelor's and master's programs are especially good, and the teachers' serious and responsible level and knowledge level are very good. Wisdom study abroad, high quality documents, high-end resources such as admissions officers of "Ivy League schools" in the United States, and overseas consultants of famous American universities, and the success rate of applications is very high. Another highlight is that the background promotion activities of smart study abroad have high gold content, which is of great help to students to sprint to good schools.

Having said that, some senior brothers also said that the shortcomings of wisdom study abroad are also obvious, that is, to do the United States doctoral and postdoctoral study abroad applications, do very poorly, 2 years ago, there was a senior brother who applied for a doctorate in the United States, and after consulting a number of companies, he did not sign a contract with wisdom study abroad to apply for a doctorate in the United States.

Applicants always embark on the path of studying abroad with dreams in mind. However, there is no shortage of pitfalls on this seemingly flowery road. Moreover, the scams of illegal study abroad agencies are more ingenious and more subtle, making it difficult for applicants to guard against them. Let's take a look at what are the intermediary traps on the way to study abroad.

False advertising

Some schools and intermediary organizations advertise studying abroad exaggerated or even false, which is not entirely in line with the actual situation.

Too many promises

In order to attract students, some study abroad intermediary organizations and school-running institutions give unprincipled promises as long as parents ask for it, regardless of whether they can do it or not, resulting in disputes.

Falsification of academic qualifications

In order to meet the needs of overseas schools, some illegal intermediary organizations take the initiative to provide parents and students with the service of creating "fake diplomas", and as a result, once foreign schools strictly review and check, students who come through fake diplomas will be returned.

Trap 1: Powerful "offices".

Last year, a self-proclaimed "** meeting" with offices around the world made very attractive conditions, such as providing Chinese university students and graduate students (forum) with a scholarship of up to 800 euros and a minimum of 300 euros every year, and the scholarship winners also had the opportunity to go to Europe for investigation, or internship and work in the local area after graduation, all for 50 yuan.

According to industry insiders, some black intermediaries under the banner of foreign "offices" and "** associations" have two ways to defraud students of money: one is to win trust with a beautiful authorization letter from a foreign institution, in fact, the authorization they obtain is within a scope, and intermediary visa and other services are often not within the scope of the regulations; The second is to deceive in the study abroad market without obtaining any qualifications.

Expert advice:Don't be superstitious about the so-called "office" and "** will", and the "shortcut to study abroad" they recommend is often a trap for studying abroad.

How to identify whether an intermediary is legitimate and legitimate? China's policy stipulates that self-funded study abroad intermediary services belong to the franchised service industry, and strict approval procedures must be implemented. Institutions applying for study abroad intermediary services must pass the qualification certification of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Security, and pay a deposit.

Among them, the deposit of the Ministry of Education is 500,000 yuan, and the Ministry of Public Security is 1 million yuan, and a strict annual review must be carried out every year. Students and parents should also see whether the institution is registered with the industrial and commercial department, and whether the business scope on the business license has a self-financed study abroad program.

In addition, it should also be noted that the legal representative on the business license is the main operator of the organization, and if possible, you can request to sign an agreement directly with the legal representative.
