Study planning
Why is study planning so important?
Nowadays, many students are confused when choosing universities and future career plans, so that they choose the wrong direction and choose a school at random, which makes them take many detours. In fact, students need to plan before applying to college because it helps them clarify their career goals, interests, and long-term plans. With a good plan for further studies, students can more specifically choose universities and majors that suit them, increasing their chances of being admitted. At the same time, they can plan their academic and professional careers and lay a solid foundation for future employment and personal growth. This helps increase the likelihood of success, reduces uncertainty, and allows students to meet future challenges with greater confidence.
