What are the common problems of the online application for studying in the UK?

If the application materials for studying in the UK are incomplete, can I fill in batches and save them?

This needs to look at the school, some schools are one-time operations and cannot be saved, and some schools can be filled in step by step. In general, most of the British university systems can be saved step by step, and these systems will divide the application into several modules, such as personal information, academic background, examination status, recommendation letters, and personal statement. After the required content of the module is completed, the module system will tick it, and only after all the modules are checked, the submit button will pop up.

What should I do if the school asks the referee to send a letter of recommendation in person?

Although online applicants can complete the application by themselves or by their agents, the submission of recommendation letters from some schools also needs to be completed by the recommenders themselves, and the requirements are to fill in the recommendation email address, and then the school will send an email to the recommender. Most students think that this will be very troublesome to the teacher, and the teacher's English level will not be able to complete it smoothly, so most students upload their own recommendation letters. But what should you do if you come across a UK university that has to be uploaded by a referee themselves?

There are two types of schools that require referees to upload, and a considerable number of schools do not require official email addresses, that is. edu email.

If it is required to be an official email address, then the recommender must upload the recommendation letter by himself; Or ask the teacher to forward this email to you, there is a secure link in it, you can upload it yourself, and you will receive an automatic reply from the system after you finish transmitting.

In addition, if there is no special official email address, you can not fill in the referee's email address when applying online, and send the recommendation letter yourself.

What should I do if I fill in the wrong materials?

Many students fill in the form, because they do not understand that there will be a lot of mistakes, such as the case of the word, the address problem, or the format of the commonly worn materials, etc., do not worry too much, contact the school in time, change as soon as possible, or email the correct materials to the school, do not delay, otherwise the school will not deal with your materials.

How do I pay the application fee?

Nowadays, many UK universities require students to submit an application fee for online applications, so students need to apply for a dual-currency credit card before this, so that it will be more convenient to pay the application fee. If you choose the major you want to apply for, the system will definitely have a reminder, and you generally don't need to find a separate webpage or apply**. If a student misses the application fee during the application, the school will also send a confirmation email to collect the payment.

How to use: Enter your GPA, TOEFL IELTS score, professional name, college background (211 985 double non) and other information into the above applet, and the system will automatically match the cases of classmates who are similar to you from the database, and compare your own situation with their cases, so that you can accurately locate yourself.

When going to the UK to study in the UK, parents often have misunderstandings in the choice of majors and schools, and the phenomenon of blindness and following the trend is very common. Below I would like to introduce to you the common problems and solutions to apply for studying in the UK.

What are the main barriers to studying in the UK?

There are three main barriers to studying abroad: differences in mindsets, students' ability to live independently, and language barriers.

There is a huge difference between Chinese and Western ways of thinking, and children who have become accustomed to the "Chinese way of thinking" in China will inevitably have great difficulties in communication and integration when they suddenly switch to a completely different way of thinking. In addition, when studying in the UK, you must learn to take care of yourself, especially to learn to cook by yourself, and if you learn to cook, your life in the UK will become more enjoyable. In terms of language, you must do your homework before going abroad, and if you don't have good English, it is difficult to study and live in the UK.

With the determination to overcome these obstacles, you have taken a big step towards success.

Inadequate preparation?

The preparation work is mainly in the following aspects: first, to carry out the necessary English training and learning to help the child pass the language barrier; the second is to consciously exercise the child's ability to live independently; The third is to train children in necessary survival skills, such as driving, cooking and financial management; Fourth, let children listen to more public welfare lectures on studying abroad, so that children can accumulate relevant knowledge; Fifth, make preparations for the financial guarantee for going abroad.

Does the family's financial capacity support the cost of studying abroad for several years?

For a family, the cost of studying abroad is not a small number, especially in a big capitalist country like the United Kingdom, the cost of studying abroad is like a "sky-high price". Before sending their children abroad, parents must have an objective assessment of their family's financial situation to ensure that their financial situation can support their children's study abroad life for several years. Nowadays, there is a common idea among parents that they want to rely on their children to go to school abroad and work part-time to subsidize school fees.

This is actually a misconception, children may work part-time to earn tuition, extend their study time to seven or eight years, or neglect to study because they are diligent in part-time work. Therefore, it is also very necessary to prepare enough funds to escort the children's study abroad life.

How do you choose a school and major?

Deciding on the country, school, and major is something to think about. In the choice of majors and schools, parents often have misunderstandings, and the phenomenon of blindness and following the trend is very common. Going to a prestigious school, looking at the rankings, and studying popular majors have become the unanimous choice of parents.

Parents ignore their children's ideas at this time, and choose a major and school based on their children's interests on the one hand, and on the other hand, they should look at the employment prospects of the major. Here I would like to remind all parents and students to check the introduction of schools and majors on the original English schools**, and at the same time consult more formal study abroad agencies to choose the right school and major according to the student's own situation.
