Ask the experts to answer your questions about DIY study abroad

If you want to go early in July, you have to start applying a year in advance, but generally the graduation certificate in July is not in hand, so you need the school to open a conditional COE certificate, and the first qualified intermediary will be used as a student guarantee, and you will make up after arriving in Australia, so if you want to DIY yourself, it is recommended to apply for admission in February of the following year, and you can't apply for it in July.

There is relevant guidance on the Internet, and you can search for it at once. Generally 1To determine when you want to study, if it is an Australian school, you generally need to provide a half-year asset freezing certificate (the amount required for undergraduate and graduate students seems to be different, and the amount for graduate students is 400,000); 2.

Make sure that the major you want to study is not in the next year's major list of that school, you can check this on the school's official website; 2.Determine the number of the major you want to study, because some schools will have different requirements for the same major, so be careful; 3.Fill out the application form.

After these steps, you will wait for the school offer, and then prepare various notarizations (birth certificates, academic certificates, degree certificates, high school graduation certificates (if required)), tuition provider certificates, etc., according to the requirements of the school (usually on the application form or website), prepare visas, etc., and wait for the visa to come down and then buy air tickets, and that's it.

PS: It is recommended to use wire transfer for the application fee, which is a little safer.

The first step of DIY study abroad: college application.

After the DIY study abroad applicant determines the destination country and the intended major, it will enter the important first step in the entire study abroad application process, college application, applicants can prepare application materials in accordance with the list of college application materials and essay writing skills provided in this section, and high-quality, complete and skilled application materials can help applicants obtain admission officers to a greater extent.

Application Materials.

1.School Applications**.

2.Application fee.

3.Diploma.

4.Transcripts.

5.Degree certificate.

6.Language transcripts.

7.Curriculum vitae.

8.Letters of recommendation.

9.Scholarship certificate (if any).

The second step of DIY study abroad: visa processing.

If you've already successfully obtained an offer from an overseas institution, it's time to dedicate yourself to another very important part of the study abroad process: visa processing. A visa is a kind of proof for you to enter the country where you are studying, and it is a recognition of your legal status.

The visa holder has the right to enter the country for a reasonable reason, to stay for a permitted period of time, or to travel through its territory to another country. In order to successfully obtain a student visa, the same high-quality, complete and skilled visa application materials are essential. Application materials are definitely the top priority in preparing for a student visa, and submitting wrong and false documents is a big taboo when applying for a student visa.

As long as the applicant prepares the visa materials and submits the visa according to the requirements of the foreign embassy, the probability of successful visa issuance is still very high.

Step 3 of DIY Study Abroad: Prepare for your trip.

When you have successfully applied for an admission letter to an overseas institution and successfully obtained a visa to study in that country, your entire study abroad process has been basically completed. Make all the preparations before going abroad, buy a ticket and get ready to go! Of course, in terms of baggage preparation, each country has its own characteristics and regulations, what is suitable for bringing and what cannot be bringed, and this edition introduces these regulations in detail for you.

In addition, this section involves physical examination, currency exchange, air ticket booking and how to enter and exit the country, etc., and the detailed introduction and analysis will make you no longer confused before your trip, and be fully prepared for your first battle of studying abroad.

The above information is a self-help study abroad process in Australia, I hope it can help you.

It's not impossible to apply by yourself, but if you find an agent, it will be convenient for many majors, but you have to pay some intermediary fees. This needs to be weighed by the landlord himself.

You can search for the homepage of each school on the ** and type the English name of the school into it, which generally has an introduction to admissions, remember to choose international students, because the standards are very different. It contains the information you need to fill in and **. Some can be submitted online, while others will have to be submitted by various means, such as email, letter, fax, etc.

After obtaining the admission letter from the school, you can apply for a visa, and the visa needs to be handled at the embassy or consulate or office of the country of study in China. Similarly, some embassies** will also offer online applications.

In general, it takes a lot of effort and time, if you find it troublesome, just find an agent, but remember to find a reputable and reputable agent, beware of **.

First of all, applicants need to have a good command of reading English and be able to pass a language test.

Secondly, the applicant needs to have sufficient time and the ability to plan and manage, collect and organize information. Because you need to make a plan for your study abroad country and major, and you need to obtain a lot of information related to it, and you can ensure that its information is accurate and comprehensive.

Thirdly, applicants need to have the ability to analyze and solve problems independently, and the procedures involved in studying abroad are complex and cumbersome, and if they encounter difficulties, they need to have strong problem-solving skills.

It is not just a matter of writing an application material, the application process is more cumbersome, involving many links, it is difficult for students who lack experience to apply for study abroad to grasp some details of the problem, if which detail is in the situation, the entire application process may fall short.

It should be noted that if the applicant has a record of visa refusal, the difficulty of the next visa will be greatly increased, so it is recommended that if students choose countries such as the United States and Canada, which have a very low visa approval rate, they should try to choose an intermediary service agency to help them apply, so as not to get twice the result with half the effort.

If you choose the DIY study abroad method, I personally suggest that students can divide the whole application process into two stages, the first stage is to complete the application and major selection independently; The second stage is the visa service and visa guidance stage, and you can choose a more reliable intermediary service agency.

DIY is the English abbreviation of do-it-yourself, and now more and more items are in the form of DIY**, such as DIY cakes, DIY accessories, DIY mobile phone cases and so on. You can also DIY a few good friends together, which can not only enhance the feelings between friends, but also experience the fun of interaction together, killing two birds with one stone!

Just prepare all the documents yourself. All letters of recommendation. There's no need to find an agent at all.

But in this way, it is easy to fail the application because of one of your own mistakes. If you're not sure you'll be able to apply to a good school. There is also the ability to interview for a visa once and succeed.

Then find an agent. Don't waste too much time. I wish you success in your study abroad.

In this way, you can save almost 10,000 yuan in intermediary fees.

However, the comprehensive ability of personal English and other comprehensive skills is quite high, and it is very time-consuming, depending on your personal situation

It means that you don't need to find any study abroad agents, contact overseas schools by yourself, go through visa-related procedures by yourself, and successfully study abroad.

Prepare everything related to studying abroad by yourself.

Disadvantages of DIY:

The most common difficulty encountered by DIY is that students do not have a comprehensive grasp of the school and major. For example, in the case of UK universities, the application criteria listed on the school** are usually more general, and as the number of applicants increases, many popular courses have increased the requirements for applicants.

Secondly, there is the issue of balancing studies and applications. On the one hand, students have to take care of their domestic studies and improve their academic ability, and they have to start preparing for IELTS and TOEFL, which can be said to be very busy. As for the follow-up of the school application, such as whether to take the written test and interview and other relevant materials, DIY students may not have time to take care of it thoroughly.

Semi-DIY benefits.

Semi-DIY allows students to complete the filling of their personal information by themselves, and the institution guides students to choose the direction of the school to apply to. On the one hand, the application money is saved, and on the other hand, the preparation is more comprehensive in terms of materials.

It is recommended that the landlord do not semi-DIY.

You find an intermediary, if the application fails, the intermediary wants a refund, who is responsible for your semi-DIY problems??? If the agent is not responsible, the agent will do your business so-so.

That is to say, the paperwork materials for studying abroad on your own, such as self-statements and letters of recommendation. After that, I will hand it over to the agent to give you a revision, so that they can apply for the college and submit the application form for you. Generally, the visa agent will also get you some of it.

The relative cost of semi-DIY will be cheaper, and generally small institutions will do more, and it is better

Which country are you going to?

Specific situation, specific analysis.

If you understand the application process for studying in the United States, you can consider DIY.

If you are not familiar with the application to study in the United States, you can still find an agent.

DIY needs to take your own time, as well as English proficiency to pass.

Finding an agent saves time, but it costs a lot of money, and at the same time, you also need to ensure that a reliable agent will not affect your study abroad application.

If the landlord has a good language foundation, the GPA and internship situation during the undergraduate period are also ideal, and you think that you can handle the application essays. However, in the process of applying for studying abroad, DIY is very time-consuming and energy-consuming, the landlord can find some study abroad consulting agencies like Shenyou, they can help you before and after, and their family paperwork really has nothing to say, the teacher is very patient to help you write, revis, the application essay is spicy, it is more important, I feel that it is better to write a little better!

In fact, the amount of information of the study abroad agent is relatively large, and the DIY information is not as comprehensive as the study abroad agent, and the professional study abroad agent will make a good assessment of you and give you good advice, as long as you have a clear understanding of yourself and have your own ideas about your future, in fact, there is nothing wrong with letting the study abroad agent help you handle the study abroad. Of course, when talking to an agent, you must grasp your own principles, and it is best to do your own homework before the consultation, so that you will not be dragged by the agent. ]

It depends on the landlord himself, if the landlord has the energy and ability, understands the study abroad matters, and can accurately locate himself or something, just DIY, no need to find an intermediary, but if you don't know anything about studying in the UK, it is recommended that you still find an intermediary, but the intermediary needs to spend money, and if you meet an unreliable intermediary, the landlord will be blind. You'd better think about it again.

In addition, you can also read this article - it is better to study abroad DIY or find a study abroad agent, maybe you will have a decision.

Finally, I wish the landlord a smooth study.

This depends on your level of English and your knowledge of the country you are going to, if your English is very good, IELTS, GRE and other scores are available, and the score is very high, you can consider applying on your own. In other words, for graduate students, you can apply on your own. For students below high school, it is recommended to find an agent to apply. ]

Therefore, if you don't have friends or relatives who know a lot about studying abroad, then you can DIY, if you don't know and no one helps you apply, it is better to find an agent at this time.

When it is decided to choose an education agent to apply, another question will arise at this time, that is, which agency should I choose? At this time, it is recommended to take a look at this list of legal intermediaries to make a choice.

It's up to you, and everyone's situation is different. However, I support DIY more than finding an agent, because the most important step in the application process is to choose a school, and the feedback and suggestions given to you by the agent are actually all from the information you provide, and who can know themselves better than themselves. So this step can be completely solved by yourself.

If you choose DIY, then it is recommended to find a reliable document agency to help you revise and polish after you finish writing, because the document is a very important part of the application process, which will be more secure. As for the application process, it is not that complicated, but if you don't know it yourself or don't have enough time to do it, you can find an agent, at least the agent can ensure that your process is error-free and can save more time.

The process of applying for a DIY study abroad is generally as follows:

1. According to your own situation, determine the country of study (if you want to immigrate, you can consider Canada, Australia, etc., and first-class universities can consider the United Kingdom and the United States).

2. Determine the major you want to apply for (according to your own interests and hobbies, it is best to determine the major in combination with your own career planning).
