When the admission list is announced in May/June every year, we always find that many people are regularly on the list. In fact, this is the 80/20 law in the insurance research field. Often, 20% of the bosses reap 80% of the offers.
Overseas investment in summer camps has always existed, but in recent years, due to the epidemic, most school interviews have been changed to online. The cost of overseas investment is extremely low, and the competition has become increasingly fierce. Many friends may think that one more school will give them more opportunities to go ashore. Regardless of time and energy, the more you invest, the more you can go to school. But is that really the case? Today, the owner of the island will talk to you about those things about Haitou~
✦Reason for the emergence of Haitou✦
1. Online interviews enable students to participate in more summer camps
In previous years, to participate in offline summer camps, you have to travel to major cities in a hurry, and the travel expenses are also a lot of money. However, the online interview saves travel and traveling, and secondly, even if different interviews are scheduled on the same day, you can participate in the next one immediately after attending one. This saves time and lowers the cost. Students will naturally invest in sea camps and participate in more summer camps.
2. The number of people going abroad has decreased and the competition has become more intense
In recent years, the international situation has been turbulent, international relations are relatively complicated, and foreign epidemics are severe. Many friends who originally chose to go abroad may temporarily choose to enroll in insurance research. So choose Haitou.
3. Following suit psychology
Because they don't have a clear positioning and no clear goals, many students often have no idea when delivering summer camps, and they always follow what others do. Or some students originally had their own plans, but when everyone saw Haitou, they would wonder if they had underreported, and began to follow the trend of Haitou. In fact, blind overseas investment often means lack of goals and unclear future planning, which can easily lead to the situation of zero summer camp.
4. The "sea camp" of colleges and universities intensifies anxiety
In addition to student overseas investment, there are also many "sea camps" in colleges and universities. It's like a scumbag meeting a scumbag girl. If you raise fish, I'll let you ride a horse over your head. Universities are afraid of being bullied by students, so they send out a lot of offers. One summer camp has 400 to 500 people, exaggeratedly even reaching more than 1000 people, or some summer camps are directly full of excellent camps, which makes the effectiveness of the premium camp insufficient. Everyone feels very scared , I felt that only one offer would fail to learn, so more people joined the Haitou team.
✦Advantages of Haitou✦
1. Cast a wide net and seize every possible opportunity
Haitou means that the more schools you apply to, the greater the chance of going ashore. This is like raising fish. Although the pond is very large, it is difficult to catch a single fish, but if there are too many fish in the pond, there will always be some that can come ashore! Moreover, Haitou can make it possible for me to apply for schools of different levels, and maybe I can have a better destination than expected!
2. The similarity of application materials between institutions is relatively high, and the application will be faster after a certain amount of applications are filled.
Written materials can be said to be a major hurdle in the summer camp. Writing well is equivalent to leaving a good first impression on the teachers of the school. Every year, many small partners spend a lot of effort in preparing documents, but in fact, the materials required by the summer camps of major universities are almost the first five semesters of undergraduate transcripts, English scores, scientific research achievements, award certificates, expert recommendation letters, personal statements/resume These categories have a high degree of overlap. On the one hand, Haitou can save the time of preparing materials for each institution separately, and on the other hand, it can also continuously improve and modify its own documents and materials during the delivery process.
✦Disadvantages of Haitou✦
1. The preparation of materials is complicated and error-prone
Haitou means that there are more materials to prepare. Many schools have their own summer camp system. Applicants generally need to fill in various basic information in the system, ranging from 10 minutes to half an hour or even an hour (the island owner Friendly reminder, it’s best to prepare it in word first, otherwise it’s easy to waste all previous efforts on the web page); in addition, some students may think that the materials are very similar and submit without changing the basic information, and it’s embarrassing to write the school’s name incorrectly.
2. Lack of pertinence, uncertain interview time
Haitou has added a lot of uncertainty. On the one hand, I am not sure how many camps I can enter and which colleges they are , so I cannot review a certain college in advance; on the other hand, the interview time is also uncertain , in case the interview time of two colleges Consistently, you also need to temporarily decide which school you want to go to.
3. More time to prepare materials and less time to prepare for interviews
Haitou has doubled the materials delivered to various schools for the summer camp, which will undoubtedly consume a lot of time. But the interview is the key to whether you can get an offer. Many insurance researchers may compress their time to prepare for the interview because they have prepared too many materials, picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
✦How to accurately deliver summer camp colleges? ✦
1. Reasonable positioning and scientific planning
First of all, you should have a basic judgment on your own strength, so as to judge whether you are suitable for Haitou. Students from prestigious schools with particularly high rankings do not need to apply for sea investment. Although the competition for insurance research is becoming more and more fierce, the number of first and second places in each 985 and 211 colleges is fixed. Therefore, for students who rank particularly high, there is no need for overseas investment, just It is enough to invest in some impact schools and guarantee schools in a targeted manner.
Students who are on the verge of graduate studies, but who are expected to obtain the qualifications for graduate studies, should try their best to make overseas investment. The students who are on the fringes of the graduate school may not have an advantage in the rankings. The only strategy that can secure admission to other schools is Haitou. Only in this way can they increase the possibility of getting an offer from the school of their choice.
Students who do not have a clear favorite college for postgraduate education need Haitou. If the graduate students do not have a favorite professional college, they can also cast the net on a large scale. If they can get offers from multiple schools after the graduate school is roughly over, they can choose their own destination.
2. Formulate strategies and divide schools
In addition to self-assessment, you also need to formulate scientific strategies, deliver colleges at different levels, plan the number of schools at each level, and rank your favorite colleges.
Generally, it can be divided into three grades: sprint gear, safe gear, and guaranteed bottom gear. When delivering, students can also deliver according to the ratio of 3:4:3.
The sprint file is mainly based on your current strength in all aspects, or the colleges and universities that have not been opened up by your seniors and sisters before your major; when you submit the first file, you must put your own highlights in the most conspicuous location, give full play to your own advantages to attract the attention of college teachers, you can try to deliver to 3+ schools.
The safe file is based on your ability to have a great chance to be shortlisted, but it may be affected by external factors, and you are not fully sure; the school that delivers the safe file can refer to the trend of previous seniors and sisters, and choose a school within this range , select 4+ to deliver.
The guarantee file generally chooses the school or a university with a similar level to the school, and the school will also have inherent advantages in information channels when signing up. Schools with a minimum guarantee can refer to other colleges and universities that are delivered by marginal people, and analyze the enrollment ratios of major colleges and universities, exclude a few schools with a low pass rate, and choose the school with the highest probability of admission, preferably 3+ schools Schools deliver.
3. Make up for shortcomings and improve capabilities
After self-assessment and school selection, you need to check and make up for your current problems. You need to work hard. If you lack competition experience, you can pay more attention to the usual competition information, and you can accumulate experience by participating more; Read more and speak more when you are in high school, and improve your reading level and oral expression ability. At the same time, you can also seize the last chance to sprint your grade point. Every time you increase by a few tenths, you will have more room for choice. After all, there is no school that does not like strong students!
✦Notes on Haitou✦
1. Don’t deliver to colleges and universities that you must not go to.
During the insurance research period, you still have to have your own moral bottom line. For colleges and universities that you must not go to, I hope you don’t submit them and give others a chance.
2. Prepare your own materials in advance.
Because we have to submit to multiple colleges, we should prepare all our materials in advance, so that we won’t miss the opportunity when we apply because we are too late to make temporary preparations.
3. While investing in colleges and universities, try to contact the tutors of the corresponding colleges as much as possible.
Every year, many students land in their favorite colleges because they contacted their tutors in advance. For Haitou students, they should not lose such an opportunity.
4. Don't worry about the application failure.
Boldly apply to colleges and universities that you dare not even think about. Maybe you will be the lucky one this year, but if you are not admitted, you must ensure your mentality. During the period of insurance research, we must learn to adjust ourselves. Failure is the norm. Don’t deny yourself just because of one failure. Only those who persist until the end can have satisfactory results!
