Many parents may be anxious: How to help them apply to the most suitable school? How can you not waste scores to ensure admission, but also go to your favorite school and major? It seems that this is also an "exam" for parents.
But parents of graduates of a school in Foshan were unusually relaxed and even overjoyed. Because the school's one-on-one professional companion for three years has helped them apply for the exam, each student receives an average of 5 pre-admission notices from world-renowned universities, waiting for them to choose with their children.
This year's exam to the top "Three Musketeers"
Meilun International Education, although only four years old, has already won the "Oxbridge Vine" (Oxford, Cambridge and Cornell University, the famous Ivy League school in the United States) admission Grand Slam. Of the more than 1100,<> international schools in the country, only seven have achieved this achievement. Meilun is one of the seven heroes of the country.
Many parents are puzzled by this: the same famous school, the same foreign teacher, the same exam, how can the gap be so big? In fact, in addition to many superficial similarities that everyone sees, Meilun International is also different from everyone in that they have a special work team - "college tutors".
They are like guards in the Everest mountaineering team. Usually does not appear in the camera, just silently accompanies the team members all the way up from the foot of the mountain, while observing and recording the physical condition of each climber, the state of supply, climate change, wind and snow... And guide everyone to adjust to the most correct way forward. It was not until the last 100 meters that they confirmed everyone's fitness and equipment, set up the last few rope ladders for them, and helped them successfully reach the top with their arms.
Professional accompaniment, three years a day, better than parents
Meilun's team of "college counselors" is called the college guidance center within the school. It is headed by a vice-chancellor who has worked at the British Embassy in Beijing. Each instructor in the team not only has their own experience in studying abroad, but also some teachers have worked as admissions officers in foreign schools, and they have a particularly deep experience in foreign recruitment.
As soon as each Meilun student enrolls, there will be a professional instructor to dock and establish a regular communication mechanism. In addition to the regular class guidance of the instructor, students can communicate and consult with their own instructor at any time, and parents can also take the initiative to discuss with the instructor when they encounter doubts. As you move up the grade, the closer you get to the exam, the more frequent the communication becomes. According to incomplete statistics, each counselor spends at least 12 hours a year on college counseling with Grade 500 students and parents.
There was a student who wanted to apply for science and engineering when he first entered the school, but after half a year, he suddenly turned to economics as his goal. In the second half of eleven years, he wanted to sprint in the direction of pedagogy again. At this time, the instructor should listen carefully to their opinions and ideas, judge the rationality and feasibility, and help him revise all the plans, strategies, and documents and materials that need to be completed to help the students achieve their wishes.
Such seemingly tossing things, in fact, are a process of continuous correction, three years of doing, the instructor's understanding and mastery of each student, even clearer and more accurate than parents. For example, Lilly, who got one of the Ivy League schools last year, Lilly of Cornell University, because he studied British courses, so his application direction has always been the UK. It wasn't until the second half of the 11th grade that I decided to apply together in the United Kingdom and the United States, and the reason was only one more way, so I didn't dare to set too high a goal.
However, in three years, the "college counselor" saw her growth and saw her potential that was different from ordinary children, so he boldly encouraged her to apply for Cornell Ivy League school. She later recalled: "After the start of 12th grade, the school's college teacher suggested that I apply for Cornell, and I thought it would be okay to buy a lottery ticket, so I casually planted this willow branch, maybe I didn't pay so much attention." Until the acceptance notice arrived, she thought that the school might have sent a mistake, and then concentrated on taking the exam at the British school. Even, after her father heard that he was admitted to an American university, he hurried to the Internet Baidu Cornell What kind of university is it?!
But the "college counselor" is to look at the curve of her three-year growth and become clearer about her strength. Therefore, the accidents of parents and students themselves are sufficient confidence in the instructor.
It is not only professional advice, but also confidence
Just like climbing Mount Everest, when every child climbs the peak of his or her life, the key question is not only whether he has strength, but more importantly, whether he has the confidence and courage to reach the top. Sometimes, this self-confidence and courage require years of professional exploration experience and judgment.
A classmate surnamed Guo, who graduated in 2020, later recalled that his performance was so poor that he thought he could only apply to schools ranked lower in the world. So later he said: "The instructor gave me some schools that I applied to, and found that among them were the University of Sydney and the University of Queensland, which was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for my studies." ”
In the end, Guo received offers from 5 universities. He said: "Especially when I received the acceptance letter from the University of Sydney, I was very excited, because I didn't expect to receive an offer from one of the top 50 schools in the world before applying."
But the teacher watched his progress and growth all the way, knowing that he had this ability, but was trapped by his own lack of confidence. Parents listened to their children's concerns and thought that their children were indeed incapable. At this time, only his "college counselor" is the most determined.
So, the first thing the parents of this classmate said to the school was: "First of all, thank you to the college counselor!" These universities that my child was admitted to, to be honest, I didn't expect it, and I was also very surprised! ”
When she first heard the school's parents' meeting say that she wanted to apply for the school, because she didn't understand, she once thought of applying for it at an outside institution! He himself said: "Fortunately, I communicated with the college counselor in time, and I felt that I should listen to the school's arrangements and follow the teacher's advice and help to apply for such an ideal university!" I am very grateful! ”
The parents also told a short story. During the application process, Guo's system for checking test results forgot the password and needed to call Canada for processing. At that time, parents were also worried about whether their children could handle it well, and hoped that the teacher could do it for them. But the teacher encouraged the students to solve it by themselves, and sure enough, the child got a chance to exercise, call the Canadian education department to communicate by himself, and successfully solve the problem! In fact, the teacher himself may save more effort than guidance. But they take every opportunity to let students grow a little more.
The parent sighed: "The child has been in school for almost 3 years, watching the school continue to improve, the child continues to grow, as a parent also feel very gratified, especially the child mentioned to me some time ago, junior high school graduation fortunately chose Meilun!" I am more sure that the choice made for him at that time was correct! ”
Selflessly assist students in their pursuit of glory
There is no direct entanglement of interests between Meilun's college counselors and students, so it is simpler, purer and more focused
