Three fatal misunderstandings about ED/EA admissions. Is the ED/EA admission rate for studying in the United States really high? Traditionally speaking, ED/EA admissions to prestigious American schools are considered by many good students and parents to have a higher admission rate than regular applications.

This statement seems correct, but it contains a fatal misunderstanding. Most of the Early Admission (ED/EA) programs for studying in the United States are from colleges with higher overall rankings, which makes applicants blindly choose "their best choice" during the application stage.

"prestigious schools" instead of choosing the most suitable school for you based on your language scores, GPA, and personal background. This type of behavior is common among domestic applicants.

Study abroad experts pointed out: There are no more than two reasons for this result. First, from the analysis of American colleges and universities, because everyone is overly optimistic about ED/EA and blindly believes that its admission rate is high, so some wrong information

Under the influence of , many parents think that my child is the best, has the best grades, and is unique, so he should be admitted to the school. In fact, the fact is that EA admission is not easier than RD (regular admission), and even

It is more difficult, and the students' own abilities are far different from the requirements of American institutions, so it is normal for students to encounter Waterloo here.

This is a very serious fact that parents and children must face correctly: after being admitted by EA, students do not have to go to school. In fact, the enrollment rate of Chinese students after EA admission is much lower than that of local students in the United States. American colleges and universities do not

Possibly over-proportioning on uncertain sources of students.

So please note: Unbound EA admission is not easier than RD.

Second, from an application perspective, students flock to apply to one or several prestigious American schools. Many people mistakenly believe that applying for ED/EA provides one more opportunity. Therefore, when applying for ED/EA, they hold the thought of "no".

With a "try it out, don't try it" mentality, even if you fail, you can still apply for regular admission (RD), without considering whether this institution is suitable for you, but whether your grades, scores, personal background and other comprehensive indicators are competitive.

Not fully considered.

Therefore, the better the schools, the more people will apply.

Especially for schools such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Chicago, which are well-ranked and adopt non-binding EA policies, early admissions are extremely competitive.

Do high scores and test scores have obvious advantages in ED/EA admissions for studying in the United States? Scores are a measure of a student’s learning standards, which is especially obvious in China, especially when one score in the college entrance examination determines one’s destiny. So, is there any advantage in ED/EA admissions for studying in the United States?

Do high scores also have great advantages? Judging from the 2013 ED/EA early admission results, the rate of rejection for high scores and test scores is very high, and even students with very high SAT scores are not immune.

Why are "high scores" rejected? Study abroad experts said: Some students pay too much attention to the total score and ignore the CR (logical thinking questions) part.

In this way, the overall score is very good, but the CR score is insufficient, which causes students to lose their competitiveness in ED/EA admissions.

Because the CR part has a very rich vocabulary and knowledge points and can comprehensively examine students’ knowledge, understanding and application of knowledge, American university admissions officers attach great importance to the CR part.

In addition, SAT scores are only an important part of American university admissions. In addition, prestigious American schools also attach great importance to students' GPA.

Some students have high SAT scores or have a good English foundation, but the conditions in other subjects are not good, or some students are all focused on preparing for standardized tests and ignore school results. As a result, many major problems appear on their academic transcripts (Tran).

Some subjects have scores below 90, or even 85 or below, and the Ivy League schools hope to recruit straight A's (Straight A's) students, so if they do not meet the high standards for performance review by American undergraduate admissions,

No matter how high your SAT score is, it won't save you.

If you prepare early for ED/EA studies in the United States, you will definitely be admitted? Beijing has always been considered by American university admissions officers as a source of students, with high-quality students, good English, internationalization, and high overall quality.

However, in recent years, Beijing’s ED/EA admissions results have been unsatisfactory, especially this year, which can almost be described as “doomsday”.

So why has Beijing, as a key source of students for American universities, seen its admissions rates drop instead of rising in recent years when students are well prepared, have improved advantages, and are planning in advance? Study abroad experts point out that planning and advance preparation are necessary, but because many

DIY students have no application experience themselves, so they inevitably cannot grasp the characteristics of the school, leading to deviations in the general direction; there are also some students who are handled by study abroad companies. Due to the company's limited industry experience and operational level, it is difficult to make plans and preparations for students.

There is a lot of imitation in the content.

From the perspective of admissions officers at prestigious American schools, there is inevitably a sense of sameness, which completely fails to reflect the individuality of the students.
