先到美国还是先在中国读一年英文?
到美国留学,是先去美国还是先在中国读一年英文?这是一个简单和实际的问题。简单的回答是,读英文才应该早日去美国呀。
最近有两个同学提出这个问题,一个是高考学生要选择去美国,一个是工作了两年的学生要去美国读研究生。
首先,美国的大学,研究生院希望见到学生。
作为基于美国的教育公司,我们经常得到美国大学的反馈,面对雪片般飞来的中国申请,他们无法衡量中国学生资质。很多中国学生,分数即使很高,也无法判断学生的水平。他们真希望见学生一面。
不过现在不同了,学生和家长有经济实力了,美国签证也放开了。
学生完全可以到美国,展现自己,得到比人在国内的学生取得先机。
其次,人在中国,分数再高也打折扣。
中国的新东方,简直太厉害了。能让学生的考分突飞猛进。也难怪,本人当年也是新东方的学生,当时余敏洪还亲自授课,讲GRE的词汇。
最重要的,来美国留学,是体会,是提升自己的手段,不是目的。
花上一年在中国读语言,实在是浪费时间。即使是读语言,也可以马上到美国去读。比如我们合作的匹兹堡大学语言学院,是美国一流的语言教学机构。学费一个学期5000美金。这里有一半学生都是准备要去美国研究所深造的。来到这里,尽快融入美国的环境,约见教授。不仅入学容易,还可能得到奖学金。不需要中介机构帮你“套磁”了。
对于要来美国读大学的学生,就更加简单了。直接去美国读两年制大学,然后转学到四年制大学。美国厚仁教育和美国6所大学有合作协议,办理快捷,5天内可以有录取结果。学费每年9000美金。
而且因为是美国公司,美国厚仁教育还要基于美国的成才计划,在美国规划和督促学生的成才,给学生和家长提供入学,转学,拿到学位的保证。
学费有差别,光阴无价,机会无价,别把青春都献给新东方了。
