But I spent more than 1w agency fee lessons

Please be sure to look at the last question to ask the agent which questions to intermediary level assessment

I'm 20 years just climbed up the shore of the Ava, I'm very pleased to be able to share with you my study abroad application experience and stepped on the mine, full of dry goods, but also please be hesitant to look for an agent and want to look for a reliable agent! I'd like to share with you my experience in applying for a college degree and the mines I've stepped on!

I've been preparing for my application since late February 2020, and my conditions are relatively safe. I studied at a 985 university in Beijing, majored in Spanish, and have a DELE B2 and a professional four-level certificate. At the beginning, I listened to my teacher's advice and decided to do DIY on my own, and I went to the official websites of various universities to find the links to my favorite majors and the admission requirements and summarized them according to regional categories. But then I felt that in the process of preparing the materials... ... It's really troublesome, and it's really hard to open foreign websites in China! So I decided to be a "lying" foreign student, and thus began a magical experience with my first study-abroad agent (I'll call it EX from now on), who was in love with me and fought with me.

When I found EX in March (I didn't know that the water in the study abroad circle was so deep), the sales were very enthusiastic to receive me, and there was a kind of starvation marketing feeling in it, at that time, the teacher who received me talked a lot, saying that his agency was very busy, and that he was in charge of changing the paperwork and making the application by a person in charge of the application, and that it was too late to queue up at the present time, so he would pay the money and queue up earlier. The teacher said that he was very busy in the agency business and that he was in charge of changing documents and making applications, and that it was already too late to queue up, so he would pay early and queue up early. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get out of this, but I'm going to be able to get out of this," he said.

In the beginning, they pulled a group together and told me that it was customized for me, and that the working hours were from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays in Spain, and then gave me a long list of materials to prepare, which also had templates for letters of recommendation, CVs, and letters of recommendation, but as soon as I looked at them I could tell that they were in machine-translated, broken Chinese, with phrases such as "I am honored to serve as a member of XX's XX team, and I am very proud to be a member of the XX team," and "I am very proud to be a member of the XX team. I am honored to be the teacher of XX's XX course and to recommend such an outstanding student for further study at your school" (I was later mercilessly mocked by my homeroom teacher when signing the letter of recommendation because I was bald from changing it).

However, it was a long wait after all the excitement, and after half a month of handing over all the materials, I didn't hear anything, and the answer I got from them was that there were people in the queue to translate and organize the documents, so I needed to wait a little longer, and I missed the first batch of applications for Kampo. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to get out of this, but I'm going to be able to get out of this, and I'm going to be able to get out of this, and I'm going to be able to get out of this, and I'm going to be able to get out of this, and I'm going to be able to get out of this, and I'm going to be able to get out of this.

About choosing a school and applying for a major is the biggest part of the differences between me and the agent, I think the significance of my study abroad is not only to understand the local customs and culture, but also to improve their own qualifications, so I personally have some requirements for the school's rankings and majors, but the attitude of the EX to my material is generally a sentence "This year's application is more difficult, you do not have C1 in this major, you can't apply to the school's rankings. Difficulty, your major does not have C1 can not be admitted", from which I also and EX triggered some conflict, my point of view is that Spain itself the public does not know much about the colleges and universities in this place, so the most ideal situation is to apply for colleges and universities in Madrid and Barcelona, but the planner recommended to me is not the marginal specialties of the two places or the various specialties of the remote mountainous areas, and even guaranteed admission. Professional and even guaranteed admission, I personally feel that it would be better to work directly, because the gold content is too low, with such a degree to find a job HR can really accept? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to a college, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to a college.

Lastly, I think one of the most difficult points to accept is the tone of voice is too bad, whether it is to myself or in the group of my mother, completely unable to see the basic qualities of the service industry workers, to put it bluntly is that I don't want to spend money on being scolded here. The final result of the application is also expected, 5 schools and 9 majors only one major admitted me, but that major is our usual cognitive out of do not know what to find a job in the bottom of the professional, and the results of this time is already in July, you can imagine how many family conflicts broke out in these 4 months.... ... What's even more dramatic is that my letter of acceptance for this marginal specialty was also sent to the agency's circle of friends to make a big deal out of it. I was already shocked by all the strange specialty acceptance letters in my EX circle of friends before, and then realized that as long as there is acceptance they will send it out, so its level is visible to the naked eye in general.

Summarizing my EX is that there is no news of acceptance letter for 4 months, the attitude is still very general, and because it is a package of 5 schools and 9 majors, after applying to these schools, they will not apply again, and if you want to apply again then you need to pay the fee again. After a long time of watching various agencies send out acceptance letters one after another, I was actually very panicked and wondered why everyone had acceptance letters but me. The other side to the EX to ask the situation is also to the Spanish teacher is more casual, admission all depends on the eye, you do not have C1 and this year is not willing to accept Chinese students to reply to me.

Very dramatic is that one day in the middle of the night to receive a letter of rejection (because of the time difference) inside very anxious, sent a circle of friends, complaining about why I do not have to go to school, it happens to have a classmate to chat with me privately, said that her agent is very good, and pushed the microblogging to me, but also told me that "your conditions are much better than mine, I only have a language in the certificate to go to a certain program in Alcalá, and I have a good idea of what I want. I only have a language certificate and I went to Alcalá to study a certain specialty. My friend applied to the Autonomous University of Barcelona through her after taking the B2 exam.

I was half believing and half skeptical, holding the mindset of trying to add the ONE study abroad this agency's micro-letter and the agency sister to communicate, I did not expect is that she listened to my conditions and then said the words were "your application conditions are quite good, according to reason should not have been admitted ah," I'm ashamed to say, I was already by the EX hit little confidence, thought this year's epidemic + Chinese exclusion will soon be out of school home squatting, after listening to this sentence also touched a number of. She also told me about some of her students' admissions, and I found that the probability of her students being admitted to good schools and good majors was really not low, and she spoke very honestly, without painting a big cake, bragging about her ability, and lining up to apply for this kind of starvation marketing, so I signed an application agreement with her with a mindset of trying.

It was the end of April, and the first "battle" we had was the first batch of applications for Huka, because the school asked us to hand in our acceptance letters for Spanish graduate school in May, so we chose Huka, who would soon be able to make an offer, to top off the pressure given by the instructor. The first thing the lady did after she got all my application materials was to "reprocess" them. Time was tight and the task was heavy, but a few days later I saw a brand new CV, both in terms of layout and clarity of content and clarity, and I immediately sent it to my mom to look at, and it really was a feeling of having found a treasure!

The young lady not only has a high level of business, but also has a particularly good service attitude. Once I got up in the morning and saw her message back to me, I immediately returned to her to receive and thank you, I did not expect her seconds back to me an emoticon, but also with me to add the latest news of the university; another time, that is, in the first batch of the results of the Huka out before I and the Miss chat a lot of Spanish school things, and then she suddenly came to the sentence, "Eh? This school seems to be very suitable for you", and then immediately sent all the information to me, directly into the state of selecting a major, chatting before the end of the recent summary of matters about my study abroad, on the spot feel what is called a response to everything, and clear, clear goals, very responsible, as if applying for their own school as attentive.

The result of the admission can be said to be a bumper harvest, Compass, Alcalá, Huka and other schools have sent acceptance letters, I also from "nothing" to "turned into a master", I chose their own school almost to choose the eye. I'm not sure if I've ever had a good experience with this agency, so I've recommended two others who haven't had an offer to sign up with my sister's agency, and I've been able to get a lot of acceptances along the way, such as Compass, Pompeii, and Alcalá, and I'm sure that the two of them will be going to Pompeii Fabra University to major in Chinese and Western Translation.

What's so great about my sister's agency is that she didn't just leave us alone after we received our acceptance, the follow-up support was superb! A few of us choose classes, registration time Miss service has been online, I Madrid Comptons University registration fee is Miss run to the Spanish bank to help me pay, super save heart and peace of mind, now I'm just waiting for the start of the school on the good

My two experience of looking for an agent to give me inspiration is that, first of all, you have to ask the agent's acceptance of the prestigious schools, because the agency contract is generally written only with a The first thing to do is to ask the agent about the admission status of the prestigious universities, because the agency contract is usually written in the contract that there is no refund of fees, so some agents will recommend you to choose "guaranteed admission" specialties, which are generally expensive, the level of the students are mixed, if you go with the mindset of learning it is likely to step in the pit; Secondly, ask the agent to take the students admitted to the language and literature of the proportion is not high, and what conditions are admitted to, if the other party suggests that you C1 and then enroll in the program. If the other party suggests that you enroll again in C1 or recommend that you volunteer for less or no such majors on the grounds that the Chinese are not admitted, then you need to rethink the choice of the agent; lastly, if the other party only recommends some "safe" majors, or even guaranteed admissions programs, some guaranteed admissions agents will also charge a high extra The program fee, encountered this situation, please be sure to bright eyes, because there are some schools, majors in your graduation into the community, HR can be seen at a glance the problem, so you need to be careful in the choice.
