Student Z is an excellent student. When selecting the school list in the early stage, his goal was basically to aim at the top schools in the world. Despite the stress, we decided to do our best to help her get into her dream school. When I met for the first time, my classmates and parents were there. She is very nice and cooperative and the parents are very polite. After discussing the follow-up arrangement and application process with student Z and his parents, and they expressed that they trusted in me and entrusted me with carte blanche to proceed with the application.

When student Z stepped in to application status, he made certain adjustments to his major, and focused on some majors with relatively fierce competition, such as finance, economics, MPP/MPA and other majors. The MPP is a professional master of public policy that trains students to use policy tools, manage policy processes, and conduct policy analysis. MPA is the Master of Directing Public Administration. Its training goal is to cultivate high-level, application-oriented, and compound management talents for government agencies and institutions that have both ability and political integrity and meet the needs of social justice modernization construction equipment. Both MPP and MPA cultivate talents with certain policy analysis ability, problem solving ability and leadership ability for the field of public affairs leadership. It is one of popular majors in the United States. All top colleges and universities have high admission requirements for this major, and the degree of competition is fierce.

Due to the relatively large difficulty and the application of many majors, it is necessary to focus on performance and self-presentation for different majors in different schools. Student Z has relatively strong athletic ability, and the school he applied to is relatively high school. I encourage students to research the projects and courses of the next school by themselves, and provide reference points for matching between themselves and the school. She has a lot of materials, so I spent nearly a week sorting out the materials, selecting materials according to the different emphases and requirements of the majors in the application, and then supplementing them. In addition, she is a relatively recognized child, and with our mutual cooperation, the paperwork has been finalized before the application. Since the progress is smooth and Xiao Z is relatively excellent, although the pressure is relatively high and the time is relatively tight, I still suggest that we apply for the deadline for early approval.

After submitting the application, we have received many interview invitations from top universities, such as Columbia University and Cornell. Before the interview, I informed Little Z in advance of the problems that need to be paid attention to during the interview, and sent her interview scriptures to guide the interview. After the interview, I learned about the questions and answers in the next interview, which are basically routine questions in interviews, so the situation is very optimistic. Little Z also thoughtfully sent me the scriptures he had compiled, saying that he hoped to help other children, and silently accumulated a character for himself.

Finally, hard work pays off. Till now, he has received offers from Chicago and JHU.

Public affairs refer to a series of social activities carried out by the ruling class in order to control the society within the scope of “order” and promote social development to meet the common needs and requirements of social members. Due to the obvious differences in class and public welfare characteristics of different public affairs, public affairs can be theoretically divided into two types: political public affairs and social public affairs. Political public affairs are closely related to the construction of state power, including military affairs, diplomacy, justice, and maintenance of public security. Social public affairs are public affairs that do not necessarily rely on the coercive power of the state, such as education, science and technology, public transportation, medicine and health, etc.

Students who major in public affairs will learn about policy development and analysis, economics and government, public health and community models through traditional coursework and internship practice. Bachelor, master and doctoral degrees are available. The Bachelor of Public Affairs program focuses on developing students’ interdisciplinary learning capabilities, emphasizing law, health, environment, business, and policy analysis. Students can choose one of these as their main development direction and will also gain direct experience through internships. The master’s program focuses on learning data collection and analysis, human resource management, financial management, and cultural studies, and usually requires the completion of 36 credits to graduate. Applicants must have acceptable GPA and GRE test scores, and some programs require completion of an internship and dissertation to graduate. The PhD program is dissertation- and research-oriented and covers areas such as public administration, social work, theoretical implications and criminal justice. While a relevant master’s degree is usually required as a basis for an application, some institutions accept students with only a bachelor’s degree.
