Admission results: University of Hong Kong, Chinese University of Hong Kong
Admission major: public health, epidemiology and biostatistics
That summer, the first time I met Wei was when she came to consult Hong Kong. She is very cautious, not as anxious as most students' consultation, and full of eager eyes. She frowned slightly and refused to speak. During the conversation, we learned that she was a student of Peking University and studied clinical medicine. When I heard this major, I couldn't help but feel awkward. Is it to apply for medical science in Hong Kong? We must know that the requirements of the most powerful medical department of HKU are very high, as far as her situation is concerned; In fact, it is not very good. She told me that clinical medicine is not her favorite major, and she hopes to have more research directions, but she doesn't like clinic very much. I recommended my advice to her, and in the process, I found that she would always listen carefully, remember carefully and think seriously. When I'm finished, she will ask me many questions, all of which are so detailed that I can't answer them at once. I think she should trust me very much before giving her own? Future? Entrust it to me.
Ms. Wei, there is still something to worry about. Among the students in Peking University, she is not the best, with an average score of 3.23 and a TOEFL score of 1. However, she has to apply for medical education at the University of Hong Kong, and only has two laboratory internships during her school years. She told me that she didn't want to take the TOEFL again, and she didn't have time. She was already preparing for graduation. Her academic performance is not good, even she is under great pressure. She wants me to give her a motivation, tell her and give her confidence. Maybe I ask too much of her, and she will carefully remember what I said and frown from time to time. I think it must be an inspiration to ask more of her. > > It is early to consult the application of
Chinese University immediately, but when she came to prepare the application, it was almost over. It is necessary to know that the notice of Hong Kong schools is first come, first served, which makes her fall into a tangle professionally, not to mention choosing schools. For applying to a Hong Kong university, a student's own conditions are very important, but choosing a school is more important, which determines whether she can achieve her goal of studying abroad. If she fails, it will undoubtedly be a blow to a student from a prestigious school. However, she definitely said that she would apply to Hong Kong University or Chinese University, and when filling out the form, she would fill it out with a pencil first, then trace it with a signature pen after confirming that it was correct, and then carefully erase what the pencil had written with an eraser, which was not sloppy at all. For a person who is about to graduate from college, this habit can persist until now. I don't think every student can do it. She told me that she will be like this since she went to school, especially when she went to college. She thought that her major, including the people she would face in the future, could not stand a little carelessness. I suddenly felt that maybe it was this common saying that the school would definitely admit her, because I thought the habit could be cultivated, but moral character was what the education school wanted to see, not just grades.
Everyone's bright spots are different, and the application path can't be copied. Maybe someone else's grades are higher than yours. You are classmates and have the same professional scores, but the application results are definitely different. In addition to GPA and language scores, hardware conditions also depend on software, such as internships, topics, projects, competitions, article publishing and even patents. So how can we stand out? The answer is paperwork. I definitely told Wei that we don't need a template for our documents, and we make documents according to the question set she answered. If there is no question set, the document teacher refuses to write documents. Wei seems to be very interested in what I said. Maybe in her opinion, only things and institutions with the same treatment and requirements can really rest assured. In the document, I highlighted her characteristics, and her seriousness is different. The internship experience of Peking University Medical School and the requirement of being serious and strict with herself are her biggest highlights. I think it is absolutely rare for applying for medical education. I have always believed that everyone has their own characteristics. It is important to dig well. If we are not the best, we will be the most special one!
If her grades are not the best and others are not the most outstanding, then the recommendation letter from Professor Peking University is very important to her. Hong Kong schools know our mainland schools and well-known professors very well. Since they have a famous school background, they must make good use of it. Wei told me that professors don't always have the time or even want to help her write letters of recommendation. I told her that she must not call and go to the professor in person. If the professor still says that she is busy, then try to ask if she is willing to help sign. For the application, you can't let go of anything, especially the very important letters of recommendation from professors.
When we received Wei's case, time was already very tight. We would like students to submit their grades and materials in the first batch, so the success rate would be higher. Therefore, the consultant teacher and the document teacher are also working overtime to complete her documents and all materials. During this period, I received a phone call from Wei's classmate's mother. Wei's mother also had great expectations for this. She repeatedly stressed that this is a lifelong matter for her children. I think it is because of her trust in New Oriental that she will do this. I think if she does not apply to her ideal school, she will be sorry for her trust in us.
From the early stage to the later stage, Mr. Wei also cooperated with us very much. Although he felt suspicious at first, I think this is the trust established between people. If there is trust and cooperation, then success is just around the corner. Sure enough, everything comes to him who waits. Wei was very outstanding in the interview. Her examiner told her: Our medical school hopes to have a sense of responsibility and persistence like you. I hope that your future study in our school will make you make amazing moves in the medical field, and you will be a doctor who is very trusted by patients! ?
