Preparing to study abroad at Malaysia , are you all ready?
In order to avoid detours, the considerate editor specially summarized the experience of seniors and seniors in applying for the season to step on "pits". Come and see if you have stepped on the "pit"!
It doesn't matter if you find it is stepped on the "pit". The editor has summarized the experiences and valuable suggestions from seniors/schools from Jinteng Study Abroad. After reading this tweet, you will become the "pit avoiding the pit" in the application season!
What to do about choosing a study abroad institution
study abroad, and finding an intermediary agency to help complete the application has become a common phenomenon in the study abroad circle. Meeting a responsible and professional teacher will not only help you complete your application, but also have a higher probability of getting a dream school invitation.
However, if you unfortunately encounter a "parallel" institution wearing a gorgeous coat, not only will the high intermediary fees be wasted, but more serious is that the application season will also be delayed.
When choosing an institution, the main factors that will be considered include cost and service quality.
The editor has done a lot of Research to his classmates and friends around him, and has also experienced a variety of study abroad services at different prices.
Next, let’s ask seniors to talk about the “pits” you may step on when choosing an institution and how to circumvent the “pits”.
sky-high study abroad institutions
In recent years, sky-high intermediary institutions have emerged one after another. Among them, some institutions are genuine and will provide one-to-one nanny-style services, from document guidance to application submission.
But it is often more common that some institutions use the anxiety of students and parents to make a fortune under the banner of "guaranteed Malaya", "no full refund", or "guide to famous teachers in colleges and universities".
But in fact, the services they provide are inconsistent with price and are empty.
M classmate has a moderate grade and a wealthy family. Therefore, his parents did not hesitate to choose the most expensive service package for him during the application season, about RMB 100,000.
I thought that with the support of the service agency, he could "take a try, and the bicycle turned into a motorcycle", but I didn't expect that the valuable study abroad institutions provided "drawing big pie-style" services.
M The student filled out various exquisite information collection forms provided by the study abroad institution, and his resume and other information were also modified every day.
However, the biggest feeling of M is that there is no substantial improvement in academic background, and the teacher never makes "constructive" suggestions. His application materials seem to be "Schrödinger-style" modifications, and he can't tell whether they will really become more competitive after the modifications.
So in the process of choosing an institution, students must spend more time to carefully understand their style and the personal characteristics of the teacher. Never be fascinated by the fancy routines made by clever names.
has said so much, so what issues should students who are preparing to study in Malaysia pay attention to?
2. Recommendations for spring study abroad in Malaysia
Understand the differences in spring/autumn application season
In addition to very special medical majors, most other teaching master's majors will be open for spring and autumn admission seasons.
But like other countries studying abroad, Malaysian colleges will place more majors in autumn admission (there is no obvious difference between student source and course arrangement). For international students, if your major is also open in spring (most colleges and universities start school in February), then there is only the difference between admission and graduation time~
Public universities start school time is relatively fixed, and the application time has a clear deadline, and generally you need to apply 4-6 months in advance; private university generally enrolls at least three times a year, and the start time is relatively flexible, so you can basically apply at any time.
early application
At present, Malaysian colleges and universities belonging to the Commonwealth education system are also getting more and more. Although the admission thresholds for many universities remain unchanged, they are all admitted to the merit.In addition, some time ago, the Malaysian Education Bureau has become more stringent in the review of our academic qualifications in mainland China. This reminds us that we should apply as soon as possible.
. The application period in Malaysia is longer (especially popular institutions). It usually takes about 3 months, and the cycle will often be extended in the second half of the year, because there are too many holidays in Malaysia in the second half of the year, which often slows the application period. If the time is not sufficient, the school may open, but the visa cannot be issued on time.
Early application for dormitory
accommodation is one of the problems that must be solved in advance, and must be fully implemented before entering the country. For students who have just arrived in the foreign land, if the school provides accommodation, it is best to choose to live in a school dormitory as a transition if they have no acquaintances. After basically adapting to local life and study, you can consider choosing other accommodation forms according to your lifestyle. However, the school’s dormitory beds are relatively tight and you need to apply earlier.
