Several misunderstandings about studying in the United States

The craze for studying abroad is gradually rising. More and more students are choosing overseas as their study destination. However, studying abroad is not as simple and beautiful as imagined. There are always some misunderstandings that make us at a loss. Misunderstanding 1: Obtain the results of the study abroad exam first and then select the schools to apply for. This is obviously the idea of Chinese-style exams. First obtain results and then apply for schools. Applying to foreign schools is completely different. First, you must choose a desired major based on your own interests. Choose a school that suits you based on your own level, which may be higher than your current actual level. This type of school can be used as a sprint school. Setting an appropriate goal is also a good choice for tapping your own potential. Then you can formulate your own study abroad plan based on the admission requirements of these schools and then implement it step by step.
Misunderstanding 2: Some people think that preparation for studying abroad should start very early. Some people think that preparation for studying abroad can only be done when needed. Everything has its time. Prepare to study abroad early. It is possible that your children have no intention of studying abroad. So it is not necessarily a good thing for growing children to enter a development trajectory that they do not want. Studying abroad should be based on the children's own wishes. Plans should be made. A primary criterion: So is studying abroad something you do in a hurry when you need it? The answer is also no. It is best to study abroad in advance. If you already have a mature intention to study abroad, it is not a bad idea to prepare earlier. If it is just a temporary idea of studying abroad, you will not be able to apply due to many factors such as the application deadline and failure to meet the school requirements. If you are satisfied with your school and major, you will lose more than you gain.
Myth 3: Overseas education is good. Studying abroad is the best choice. From certain directions, Chinese education is remarkable. From certain aspects that are in line with children's own growth patterns, overseas education has obvious advantages.
You can start from several aspects to judge whether you choose to study abroad: Whether the students themselves have the intention to study abroad. Don’t impose it on students because of their parents’ ideas. Don’t go abroad just because your classmates have gone abroad. Don’t go abroad because you think overseas education is loose and domestic education is strict. Going abroad and whether the family conditions can meet the requirements for going abroad. For families above the middle class, going abroad is a multiple-choice question. But for families below the middle class, going abroad may not be a suitable question at the moment. You need to be cautious and whether you have good study habits and pursue goals. Studying abroad is a good thing. Studying abroad blindly without direction or good study habits may leave you only pain. I hope my classmates can learn from it.
