　　 WES

World Education Service

WES is the most important qualification evaluation company in the United States and the most popular international certification agency at present; Because the scoring system in the United States is different from that in China, many students who apply for graduate school in the United States can convert the scores of domestic universities into the GPA of the American standard 4.0 algorithm through WES;

The website can also convert domestic degrees into American equivalent degrees, so that American university admissions committee can understand the achievements and academic background of international students.

　　 UCAS

Universities and Colleges Admissions Service

In fact, UCAS is the UK's undergraduate application system, which is equivalent to China's college entrance examination admissions office. In addition to serving as a platform for submitting application materials, UCAS is also a public institution to review the qualifications of applicants for all art students who apply for undergraduate majors in British universities.

UCAS is a platform that will open applications for colleges and universities in the coming year in September every year. The specific deadline will be determined by different colleges and universities. Each student can apply for no more than 5 majors from 5 universities in UCAS, and students applying for Oxford and Cambridge can only choose one from two.

　　 Slideroom

Online application system of American colleges and universities

Slideroom is the most commonly used online platform for submitting portfolios in American colleges and universities. Most American college art design majors will submit portfolios and other application materials through slideroom.

Each college will also have its own slideroom website, and students can find the link in the application requirements section of the college's official website.

　　 CA

Common Application

CA is one of the most commonly used online platforms for applying to American undergraduate colleges. In the past two years, institutions from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and other overseas countries have also joined this platform.

After setting up an account, the applicant can add the target school to the application list. The basic personal information can be shared in multiple applications only once, which is relatively simple.

　　 ED

Early Decision

It is a way for art students to study abroad and apply for American universities. As the name implies, they can only apply to one school in the earliest group of art students to study abroad. Once they are admitted, they must go to the admitted school

The deadline for ED application is generally from October to mid November, and the results will be received before December.

　　 EA

Early Action

EA is also a way earlier than regular application, but different from ED, students can apply to multiple universities that open EA in advance, and can decide which university to go to after getting all the application results, or continue to apply for RD (Regular Decision).

According to the requirements of institutions, EA can also be roughly divided into three forms: OEA (Open EA), REA (Restricted EA) and SCEA (Single Choice EA).

　　 RD

Regular Decision

Regular admission is the most standard way for American colleges to enroll students. It requires applicants to submit application materials to the schools they apply for before the deadline (about January and February). Most schools will send a notice to students who enroll regularly from the end of March to the beginning of April after reviewing the materials.

Generally speaking, the assessment criteria will also be higher than that of ED and EA.

　　 Rolling

Rolling Admission

There is no clear application or admission deadline for this enrollment method. The college will continue to receive the applicant's materials and begin to review them until the quota is filled. It is common for graduate art students in the United States to apply for studying abroad.

Some schools also have a deadline. Before the deadline, students can submit applications, but the opportunity to get an offer is also first come, first served. The earlier you apply, the better.

　　 DDL

Deadline deadline

Most colleges and universities have their own deadline for receiving application materials, and students need to complete all procedures of application before the deadline, so it is very important to grasp the application deadline of target colleges and universities.

Generally speaking, the deadline for undergraduate professional applications is relatively unified, and the deadline for graduate applications will be more flexible. Each college of each school has a relatively independent right to draw a line. Some colleges will also open several rounds of applications to set up different stages of the deadline.
