How to choose the right study abroad agent when applying for the United States?

Most of the students choose to study abroad agents to help them apply, and I am also a person from the past, according to my experience at that time, the selection of agents has the following points:

1.A novice who studies abroad and doesn't understand studying abroad;

2.The grades are okay, the background is weak;

3.Pressed for time;

4.Grades, backgrounds are fine, but for the sake of safety;

5.I can't write essays, and I don't know the skills and precautions;

This is my personal summary of the reasons why students find an intermediary, if the above five points are met, it is completely possible to DIY, but there are very few people who can DIY to get a good college offer, even if the teacher with many years of experience is not confident that the students she has brought can get the offer.

But the study abroad agent is not everything, you don't think of the agent as omnipotent, whether you can apply to the top colleges, you need to see your cooperation with the agent, tacit understanding, the teacher's experience, the degree of responsibility, the model, the post-service, etc., various factors, a problem that many students ignore is that I used money to find an agent, the agent should help me do everything, I don't care about anything, don't ask, think like this is very wrong.

The whole application process is around you, why do you need to have a plan, that is, for yourself, the teachers make a detailed application plan, including the background activities behind, the essay link, and the school selection link, all from your point of view, if you don't participate, then the essay written by the intermediary is a template, change the name, anyone can use it, what is the value? Many intermediaries are so irresponsible.,Often classmates still think that such an intermediary is a powerful performance.,I'm really speechless.。。。

The Huide study abroad I am looking for is to let me participate in the whole process, be transparent throughout the process, let me participate in it, express my own views and opinions, if you show your laziness a little, if the teacher is by your side in the later stage, you can really grab your ears, if you want to be lazy, it is impossible.

How do you know how cost-effective a study abroad agency is? You have to solve these three aspects:

1. First of all, look at the qualifications.

Before choosing a study abroad agency, check whether it has the qualification issued by the Ministry of Education to carry out self-financed study abroad agency business and the business license issued by the Administration for Industry and Commerce. Generally speaking, unqualified black study abroad agents, such as education consulting companies, are either affiliated with qualified agents that are not their own company names, or there is a clear article in their general business projects on their business licenses: education consulting (excluding study abroad consulting and study abroad agencies), which is an important basis for distinguishing whether it is a study abroad agency.

2. Secondly, review the contract.

The size of the company, is it a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise? Is it directly under the Ministry of Education or under the Ministry of State? Most of the contracts of state-owned enterprises are model texts issued by the Ministry of Education, so there is a certain guarantee in terms of contracts, but there is no guarantee that the service process is perfect.

Regardless of whether the model contract of the Ministry of Education is adopted, students can apply for study abroad supervision services, and let the study abroad supervision center help review whether there is a bully clause in the contract, so as to prevent study abroad traps in advance.

3. Again, check word of mouth.

Before choosing an intermediary, it is recommended to search for the name of the agency on the Internet to see if there are any complaints or disputes in the forum, community, and complaints. It is inevitable that everyone will be satisfied with the service of the study abroad agent, but if there are many complaints, it is indeed necessary to choose carefully.

When applying to study in the United States, when looking for a study abroad agent, many students will be fooled by the fame, scale, and rhetoric of the consultant. Therefore, when we are looking for a study abroad agent, we must not believe the words of the consultant teacher, and I have basically figured out their routines. Through publicity and popularity, these appearances that have little effect on the application are used to attract students and parents, and when they meet with the consultant teacher, they are already halfway to success, and when they talk face-to-face, they have all kinds of promises, all kinds of guarantees, as long as the questions you raise are nothing they can't do, and then there are waves of ** bombardment.

Many irresponsible intermediaries, they are using various means, such as over-promises, all kinds of guarantees, the purpose is to complete the contract, and when you really pay the money and sign the contract, the agency will become active, and we will be passive. Moreover, there are not a few phenomena of big shops bullying customers and a big reversal of attitudes.

Therefore, don't be biased, choosing a study abroad agent needs to look at what kind of services the agent can provide, how the experience and service of the teachers in the later stage of the student, and whether their service model is many-to-one or one-to-one, etc., these factors can affect the application result. After a number of comparisons, I learned that most of them, especially large institutions, almost all adopt an assembly line model in which multiple teachers are responsible for different links. And in the pipeline mode, it is difficult to achieve personalization.

Moreover, the mobility of teachers in large institutions is large, and it is difficult to provide meticulous services and consider them in detail. So at that time, I chose a study abroad agent, which is the kind of agency with experienced teachers in the later stage and not particularly large-scale. Later, I signed this Huide, the scale is medium, their service is one-to-one, since the signing, the teacher took the initiative to contact me every time.

And in terms of details, as long as we can think of it, the teacher has already done it in the later stage, will tell me how to improve my GPA, and urge me to hurry up and study. And they will be willing to spend a lot of time and energy to lead students, because I am not very active, but after fully understanding, they will actually strictly control the number of students in the later stage. This is something that many large institutions can't do, and most of them have more and more students, pursuing quantity and ignoring the quality of applications.

This is not a good thing for students, so when looking for a study abroad agent, you still have to find a high-quality one (high quality does not mean high reputation and large scale).

If you want to read the United States, you generally have to take the TOEFL or SAT, and the agent can help prepare some application materials, such as recommendation letters, personal statements, articles, resumes, school transcripts, and some other supporting materials, etc., and then you have to wait for the offer after submitting the application. In short, every link is very important, choose more and judge more.

How to judge which agent is good, the one that suits you is the best, it always hurts to compare more, the most important thing to choose a study abroad agent is to choose a good consultant.

Whether you choose a large organization with a good reputation and large scale, or choose a small and specialized consulting company, you must 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.

It is recommended that when choosing a study abroad agency, do not blindly pursue the fame and scale of the institution, and some institutions that are small in scale but have a very sound and complete model can also be considered.

The most important thing in finding a study abroad agency is not the size of the reputation, but the responsibility for whether your teachers are professional and responsible, and the institution with a small reputation pays attention to reputation.

Choosing a study abroad agency requires a two-step screening:

The first step is screening: First of all, determine which school you want to apply to, each university is good at different majors and admission difficulties, and first determine your goals, so that you can be more purposeful when talking to teachers. At the same time, in the process of talking to the teacher, you should also keep your own thinking and don't be taken away.

Step 2 Screening: Many people say that study abroad agencies mainly look at teachers, which is true, but how to do it exactly? When you have a reputation for this institution, after you have an understanding of the whole, the next step is to have a good communication with your consultant, I usually look at the application cases of these teachers on the official website, the essay is the best reflection of the teacher's level, if the official website does not have it, just feedback with the consultant to see if you can get it.

In addition, when communicating with the consultant, you should ask more questions about the application of some colleges and universities, this step mainly depends on whether the consultant is professional, if it is ambiguous or there are obvious mistakes, you must be cautious!

Study abroad agents are legally engaged, but their businesses have their own strengths, their reputations are different, and their consultants are highly mobile. You can first check the reputation of study abroad agents in various places.

Study Abroad Orientation Assessment.

There are many cases of applying to study abroad under various conditions and backgrounds in the study abroad volunteer reference system (figure below), and you can use the study abroad volunteer reference system.

Carry out school selection positioning and reference.

Beijing's smart study abroad is good, focusing on high-end study abroad applications in the United States, specializing in American engineering and business and other application programs with strong professional requirements, and it is also one of the institutions with the highest acceptance rate for high-end American universities in the industry. Smart study abroad, certified by the United States and the Chinese Embassy in the United States, overseas consultants and overseas admissions officer resources are one of the great advantages. Analysis of service advantages and disadvantages:

Study abroad wisely, do high school study in the United States, undergraduate study abroad in the United States, and study abroad in the United States master's degree, and do a good job in applying. Wisdom to study abroad, good paperwork, high-end resources of overseas consultants from Ivy League schools in the United States and overseas admissions officers from Ivy League schools in the United States, teachers with few students, will carry out personalized planning according to the student's situation. But the shortcomings are also obvious, the American Ph.D. application is poor.

It is recommended that many parties understand, large institutions and small institutions should inquire about it, and you can go to the enterprise to check and Tianyan to check the basic information of the company, and generally speaking, the intermediary agency that has been established for a long time will be more secure. If you are looking for cost-effectiveness, many small and medium-sized study abroad agencies are also very good; If you are financially able and want to be safe, it is recommended to choose a well-known and large-scale study abroad agency.
