I didn’t get into an Ivy League school

Every year during the results release period, parents of students can’t help but worry. At the same time, there are always a lot of parents who complain about the results.Transfer issuesCome for consultation. Entering a top prestigious school must be the perfect start to a study abroad scenario in many people’s minds, and what everyone cares most about when making a choice is “ranking”! But before stepping into the most cutting-edge university, have we thought carefully: Is this really the best choice for our children?

➤Can you "sit back and relax" after entering a cutting-edge university?

In addition to the US News rankings, which are widely trusted by parents nowadays, what else is worth considering when choosing a college? What kind of resources will be most helpful to your development? This is true for admission and transfer. University rankings or authoritative research indicators may not directly reflect a child’s job search path after graduation, or the life goals they want to achieve. When we analyze the media that form the "study abroad experience", the environment, transportation, climate, community atmosphere, learning resources related to daily life, as well as the reputation and future of the school locally or domestically after graduation may need to be more considered. These factors happen to be the key factors that are ignored by rankings such as US News.

In the past few years, many students who I tutored and attended the top ten universities in the United States have inquired about transfer. The resources and research capabilities of their schools are extremely outstanding, but they are not consistent with the study abroad experience they originally desired, or they are unable to provide them with what they want after graduation. employment opportunities. Parents should not ignore that children also have a special set of standards and a lifestyle they aspire to. Especially after embarking on a journey across the sea to a foreign country, they often become more sensitive to their environment!

➤Analyze your own goals and conditions, perseverance and hard work are the key
Whenever students and parents talk to me about the difficult decision of transferring to another school, I always ask them to calm down and ask themselves: "What do I want?" Should I choose fame or life experience? What are the ratios and acceptable standards between the two? The subtle mismatch between parents and children, reality and expectations, is due to the different imaginations and different demands of parents and children. Only by clarifying these key points can we gradually get the answer. If you are really dissatisfied with your current school, or you feel you are unable to achieve your future goals, you must ask yourself: "Am I capable of pursuing the school I want?"

➤Seeing the dilemma is the beginning of getting rid of the fog in the heart
I would like to bless everyone who has taken this step, and who may reach this step; you have accurately detected the important opportunity in life when you must make a choice, and this is definitely worthy of congratulations! And if you want to have the best of both worlds, in addition to understanding what makes you happy, which parts of your life are inseparable, and where your goals are... it is very important to be fully prepared for this. Whether studying, finding a job, or life, having the most adequate conditions is the key to widening your choices. And if you have a trustworthy professional with careful planning and long-term assistance, it will naturally be less likely to deviate from the track and progress. There is a song in the musical "RENT" that goes "Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year?"Since one year is so worthy of cherishing and measuring, life is even more so. Follow your heart and move forward bravely!
