The elder's self statement
Sophomore
Decide to go abroad, contracting agency
A kind of
When I decided to study abroad, I didn't get very good grades: GPA < 3, TOEFL < 80. Because I didn't have a clear plan and direction for my study, I signed a contract with a study abroad institution when I was a sophomore.
After signing the contract, the organization first evaluated me in all aspects. According to my undergraduate CS major and my interest, it proposed some suitable postgraduate majors for me. Because I have a certain programming foundation, and I am extroverted, and I love community activities and interpersonal communication. The organization recommended MIS, DS, Ba and other majors to me. At the same time, I was interviewed many times by video from China and the United States to help me determine my professional direction and school selection.
Junior
Brush and improve GPA
A kind of
In my junior year, I began to take some of my courses to improve my GPA. At the same time, I participated in the TOEFL Training and 1-on-1 methods of the organization, constantly brushing points and improving the scores of TOEFL GRE.
What is very helpful for me to apply for school is an IEEE paper on cloud computing published by my junior and my roommate under the guidance of foreign teachers.
Senior
Internship experience_
During the summer, I participated in the internship of Nanjing Laser Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Citibank, which also enriched my background.
Tips
Other considerations
A kind of
During the application process, especially for CS related majors, it is very important to have certain competition experience, scientific research results and internship experience. It can be said that GPA, TOEFL and GRE determine the lower limit of application, while background (internship, scientific research, competition, etc.) determines the upper limit of application, and a good application team can determine the limit of application.
