How to make the most of your summer vacation during your study abroad application

What should I do during the long summer vacation? Is the standardized test complete? Do you have a score that meets your ideal score, or is your current score already the best you can get?

If not, then you need to join the state of preparing for the summer vacation, and strive to get your satisfactory score to apply to the dream school by October, so that you will not have regrets.

I believe that after studying for so many years, if you are preparing for the exam, you should be a veteran, and the tactics of the sea of questions may be a stupid method, but it is a tried and tested method, so you should first find out the problems made in the previous exams, and correct them well in the summer review in order to make substantial progress. Whether there is real progress or through the test to verify, the ideal score can increase the chance of admission, but just a score is not enough, software background is also valued by foreign universities.

When I went to the computer science program at MIT during my winter vacation, I had to apply at first, and I could only go after the interview was successful. There, people first learn about the basic hardware and software architecture of computers, and then learn the mathematical principles of programming and artificial intelligence. I still like artificial intelligence, and it would be exciting to think that Skynet could be born in my own hands.

I studied there for a month, and when I came back, I asked other classmates, and found that they went to a fast food restaurant, which felt useless, but fortunately I chose Huide, and I didn't choose another one, otherwise the future is really worrying.

The reasons for college students to apply to stay on campus during the summer vacation are as follows:

1. Work-study. Some schools offer some work-study positions for students with difficult families, and some of these positions also need to stay in school during the summer. <>

2. Participate in summer social practice. Participating in some local summer social activities can help us have a better reason to stay in school. The school conducts summer social practice every year, and this kind of social practice is often a team effort, and many students stay in school every year.

3. Participate in large-scale competitions. For example, mathematical modeling, and some science competitions. Most colleges and universities offer preferential treatment and support to students participating in major national competitions.

4. Help the school to do the enrollment work. Most school admissions take place during the summer. The issuance code of the admission notice Sun Song, and the information verification of Chi Zheng's admitted students, all require a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, there will also be some students who stay in the school as a pants.

5. Postgraduate entrance examination and civil service examination. The postgraduate entrance examination itself is a good reason to stay in school, and many colleges and universities have opened the green light to students who are admitted to graduate school and civil service examinations to help them have better conditions on the road to study, so it is easier for such students to apply for staying in school.

It is currently summer vacation, and time is precious for students who are preparing to study abroad. Study abroad experts say that summer is the best time for prospective international students to prepare for the accumulation of language and activities in the spring or even autumn. So what preparations should be made for studying abroad during the summer vacation?

Plan your study abroad

It is understood that many parents have plans to send their children to study abroad, but they do not have a detailed understanding of the application for studying abroad, resulting in a hurry to submit application materials and fail to achieve the ideal study abroad goal. Relevant experts suggest that when preparing for studying abroad, you should first make a detailed plan for studying abroad.

Relevant experts suggest that students and their parents can participate in the study abroad consultation meeting in the summer, quickly understand the study abroad policies and education systems of various countries in a short period of time, and consult and communicate with study abroad experts on the spot. In addition, it is necessary to understand the living environment abroad, evaluate the cost of studying abroad, and familiarize yourself with the application process and the materials to be prepared. Make a detailed study abroad plan by understanding the relevant matters of studying abroad.

Prepare for language exams

For international students, language proficiency is an important determinant of their application to schools, and at the same time, the quality of language proficiency directly affects students' future study and life abroad. Relevant study abroad experts said that for middle and upper middle school students with language scores, they should cherish every vacation to learn the language, further improve their language ability, and make a sprint for their ideal colleges, and the language score will also have a certain impact on the application for scholarships. For students with low language scores, even if they are ready to learn a language abroad, Lao Li needs to lay a good language foundation in China, so that they can adapt to the foreign environment as soon as possible and save time for learning languages abroad.

Study abroad experts said that students should take the score test required to apply for the school in advance, and be prepared to apply for the high school as early as possible, so that even if the first test is not satisfactory, they can still have time to take the second test and add weight to the school they are applying for. It is recommended that students in the first year of high school should make full use of the first summer vacation of high school to prepare for the exam, strive to take the exam and achieve good results. For the exam, experts recommend that students prepare for the exam 2 or 3 times, the first time is to familiarize themselves with the process of the exam, find their weaknesses, and then conduct targeted study to prepare for the second exam.

On the premise of not affecting the promotion of higher education, there can be an appropriate certain time span, and students should strengthen their own weaknesses instead of blindly taking exams.

Participate in social practice

It is understood that foreign colleges and universities pay more attention to the comprehensive quality of students, including creativity, initiative, learning potential, leadership ability, response to setbacks and other "soft power". Study abroad experts said that social practice activities also play a great role in the application for studying abroad, most colleges and universities will judge students' ability and personality through social practice activities, unique and rich social practice experience is one of the ways for applicants to show their comprehensive quality, students can even use their own social practice and personality characteristics to make up for the lack of their own grades. Therefore, students who plan to study abroad should use the summer vacation to conduct in-depth social practice.

The reasons for applying for summer stay are as follows:

1. Study needs: You can explain that you need to stay in school because you want to use the summer vacation time to review and learn more about certain courses, and the content of these courses is very important for your future studies or career.

In my sophomore year, I wanted to use the winter vacation to improve my background, mainly to apply for studying abroad, and Mr. Huide recommended the MIT mechanical engineering program to me, and I applied at the beginning, and then interviewed, and I am glad that the interview was successful at that time. Then I flew to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where the learning atmosphere is very strong, and you will unconsciously blend in with the surroundings, all in order to make yourself stronger. The tutor who took us was nice but a bit harsh.

We are trying to learn new knowledge every day, not only to teach us theoretical knowledge, but also to let us do it and draw conclusions on our own. In this project, I did a lot of things that I thought were impossible before, and I am grateful for the help of others. At the end of the project, I was very reluctant to give up on everyone, and the teacher wrote a letter of recommendation for me.

I decided that when I applied to study abroad in the future, I would definitely apply to this school.

Summer vacation is nothing more than two things, the first is to improve the background, and the second is to improve the English score.
