1? In addition to the application fee, some intermediaries have additional fees. Please identify them.
"Rebate": Non-G5 products in Australia and Britain are generally the cheapest, and even institutions apply for them free of charge. Of course, there can be no free lunch in the world. Wool comes from sheep. The organization that doesn't charge is called "school agency". They make money by introducing students to the school and then taking kickbacks from the school. This kind of application is generally applied by students with poor backgrounds, and you don't have to care who this rebate is for. You don't have to pay more anyway. The only advantage of school substitute is that the offer will be sent faster. Students who mind this can pay special attention.
"ranking fee": it will cost more to help you apply for top 10 20 30 (nonsense).
"Commission fee": you have to draw a percentage to help you apply for a scholarship (isn't that beautiful? )
Please go through these intermediaries directly.
2 services, please know the specific services provided by the intermediary.
The password of the application account will not be provided to the applicant.
The intermediary randomly arranged to take the tutor/consultant you applied for, and the majors did not match.
Your tutor's background is only a junior college graduate in China, and most of them have no overseas study experience, or have study experience but the school ranks above 50.
The person who takes you to know about the school's professional enrollment just guesses the school preference based on the admission experience in previous years.
A consultant with dozens of students is overworked and lacks energy, so it is difficult to take care of all your applications.
Writing documents instead of materials, behind-the-scenes operation, you are not satisfied with it, and you can't do anything about it without modifying and replacing the consultant.
The template is stereotyped/streamlined/cheated. The person who wrote the document for you may only have graduated from an English major in China.
The person who sold the service to you in the early stage is the same person who served you in the later stage.
Please pass the above features directly.
Of course, you won't know anything until you start to apply for services, so you need to make things clear when you consult someone in the organization in the early stage:
The classic is, of course, can I give you the email password? (this is usually given now, after all, it has been spit out so much. The main purpose of opening an account is that even if you have a dispute with the intermediary later, he can't threaten you with your application.
Who will take me to apply in the future? What role does it play in my application? What can he do to help me?
What is his education and background? If you are not sure now, what are the detailed backgrounds of the people you tutored and me, and what are the backgrounds of the people who took them to apply?
How to understand the school's enrollment preference? Just look at the information and admission data? Or anyone who graduated from this school and has first-hand information?
How many students does a consultant usually take? Is there any evidence?
What is your document writing process? Who is the person who wrote the report for me? Does he have a background in studying abroad? What if I'm not satisfied with the document? Can you modify it indefinitely until you are satisfied? Or someone who can change the paperwork?
What is the division of labor between your company and the people I contact? This question can make you think about the whole operation mechanism of this company. For example, the sales and services of some intermediaries are the same person, that is, the person who sells services to you and the person who writes documents for you are the same person. This is not recommended. A person's energy is limited and he can't take care of so many things.
3 people-oriented.
I always think it is very important to find an institution, that is, you are spending money to find an institution to serve you, but people serve you, and where there are people, there are people and rivers and lakes.
I think it may be because of this industry that everyone has no good impression on the intermediary. So some students have a bad attitude when they start looking for an intermediary. They think that intermediary is a dark industry, and they think that "I am the one who will pay in the future." I am the father of the financial boss, so you should be fine with me. " I didn't buy the service in the early stage, and the consultant's reply was slow and the tone was a little cold. I feel that "my time is too precious to waste". "You consulted in the early stage, how dare you entrust me with the later service?"
So, I hope you don't think this is because I paid a company to help me with online application, document review and project investment. It's that you should feel that this is the way you and your application tutor go together. Sometimes, your agent, like you, wants you to get a good offer. Not only because it is the duty of paid service, but also because they really want you to go to a better school.
4 Other considerations
Where did the money you gave to the agency go?
If it is a crazy advertising/bidding information flow/Baidu keyword organization, it is really not recommended to find it.
Do you know how expensive advertising is? It is not excluded that the investor of this institution, the father of the financial boss, gave enough money, but most of the intermediaries are based on the income from their main business. The applicant paid 1 10,000, and the intermediary spent 700,000 on advertising. How can we support this company with 300 thousand left? Can you still give returnees a high salary? And those who come back from studying abroad can keep them with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan? Even if he can stay, will he take the trouble to apply for you?
How to treat the counterattack against famous schools?
It is possible to counterattack and become a better person. There are many such leads throughout the ages, but fighting back will only be because of yourself. What can an intermediary do for you: 1 will give you more resources to enhance your background and then help you show it. Your background has been determined, just to help you show and package. In any case, to be a better person and go to a better school is inseparable from your own efforts.
Why are there so many Harvard, Yale and MIT in those agencies?
The offer of dozens and hundreds of top universities may all be fake. With bold assumptions, reasonable doubts and serious investigations, organizations always have something to prove that their proposals are true. Even if it can't be made public, he can prove it to a skeptical person.
There is another kind, the offer is true, but it may not be that the colleges are powerful, but that their students are powerful. For example, an S, an organization that has been working hard in Tsinghua all the year round, and a Z, who is keen to help the top students in China revise their documents and get an offer (I'm not saying they are wrong, I just subconsciously think of these two).
Therefore, the most important thing is that the institution you are looking for either has students with similar background to you to apply for cases, or has seniors from the schools and projects you want to go to.
