Tutoring Review
Student Liu graduated from a "985" and "211" university with a major in information security. At the time of consultation, he had already graduated and did not have GRE or language test scores. Although I have been working for half a year since graduating from university, the idea of studying abroad emerged during my college years. Due to various reasons, I gave up the application for studying abroad before graduation and chose to work directly. After half a year of full-time work experience, I found that I still have a strong desire to study abroad. Almost all my colleagues around me have postgraduate degrees from prestigious universities. At the same time, I also hope that my academic qualifications and abilities can be enhanced through postgraduate studies and accumulation, so as to broaden and elevate my career path and platform in the future. Therefore, I officially embarked on the path of applying for a study abroad program.
Given that Liu has a solid background in both software and hardware, graduated from a 985/211 university with an average score above average, and has published relevant papers and about half a year of work experience, it is recommended that the student try to aim for G5 universities such as Imperial College London and University College London, as well as some universities like the University of Edinburgh and the University of Manchester.
Student Liu has a relatively good foundation in English and doesn't need to prepare for the IELTS for too long. Moreover, some programs at G5 universities require GRE scores to be submitted during the application process. Therefore, it is recommended that students take the IELTS test as soon as possible to get the score in one go. After the test, they should immediately start preparing for the GRE and simultaneously prepare the application materials, and submit the application according to the materials required by the school as soon as possible. But just as we were busily preparing for the application, Liu suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized for half a month, which postponed the exam time. Moreover, due to the epidemic, the GRE and IELTS tests were frequently cancelled. Due to the lack of standardized test scores, after communicating with the student, Liu gave up the application for G5 universities and only submitted applications to University College London, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Manchester, and the University of Glasgow. The application submission time was relatively late, and he received all offers except University College London. Eventually, Liu chose to study at the University of Edinburgh.
