Tutoring Review
Student zhang has been studying in the United States since high school. She is a girl with a very clear goal. As soon as she stepped into the university, she decided to continue her studies and pursue a postgraduate degree in the future. Under our planning and guidance, the university was successfully admitted to the University of California, Irvine, which ranks 35th in the United States.
After entering the university campus, with the rise of the business analytics major, the student developed a strong interest in this emerging major. Therefore, we provided her with many planning suggestions related to this major. Student Zhang is also very cooperative. He independently established a mathematics club. After each class, he would review the knowledge learned in class again with students of the same major and fill in the gaps. The student also took advantage of the vacation time to undertake two highly valuable internships. One was at Industrial Bank and the other was at Huashu Media Company, where she worked on data analysis. All these have laid a very beneficial practical foundation for her target major of business analysis. It is worth mentioning that during the epidemic, although she was unable to go out, she and her friends jointly founded a cross-border online store to sell cross-border fashion products. This is also a very eye-catching part of her resume.
In addition, in American universities, one year usually consists of general education courses, and it takes two years to choose a major. Under our advice, she chose Business Economics, a major that requires both theoretical support and practical application. Moreover, a large number of courses can lay a foundation for her future master's degree in business analytics. At the same time, we also suggest that students, if they have the energy, try to complete the GRE test as early as possible to avoid having to rush to meet the deadline during the application season and worrying about not being able to release the GRE scores. Since her sophomore year, our planning mentor has been accompanying her in the application group to memorize words and check in. Zhang's efforts paid off. During the summer vacation of his junior year, he scored a high 331 points and got 4.5 points in writing.
After carefully studying the admission requirements for the Business Analytics major, we suggested that she take 1-2 programming-related courses online to enhance her background competitiveness. She chose two programming courses and achieved high scores in both, which was a very significant highlight in terms of her background.
When choosing a school, since the student's GPA was 3.3, which was relatively a weak point, we combined the school's overall ranking, professional ranking, geographical location, employment opportunities, etc., and selected a suitable institution for her.
Student Zhang has been admitted to Washington University in St. Louis and the Rochester Simon School of Business. More good news is yet to come.
