Queen's University online lecture-2022 application season
Last Thursday, our Grade 12 students participated in an online lecture from Queen’s University, a well-known medical and doctoral university in Canada. Queen's University is very popular among students in our program and, in the 2020-21 academic year, a total of 21 students received the admission letter from this university!
Hyman Xu, senior admissions officer from Queen's University, brought a rich and detailed introduction to this university.
He not only introduced the application requirements of Queen's University, the advantages of each faculty and the characteristic services of employment guidance, but also introduced in detail the quarantine requirements, clothing, food, housing and transportation of students after admission under the current global epidemic situation.
I believe that through his introduction, all Grade 12 students can have a deeper understanding of Queen's University and be more determined in their goals.
