Up to date information on how to study in the U.S

At present, the most convenient way to go to the United States is to study for a few months in the preparatory department in China, and then apply to American universities. During these months, the first is to make you Chinese (that is, to be able to communicate with others and understand the teacher's lectures), and the second is to take some first-year courses in American universities, and transfer credits when you go, saving time and costs. Thirdly, students are trained in the transition to self-care.

In this form, there is no TOEFL IELTS test, no SAT, and you can also apply for dual scholarships, but only about 60 universities in the top 100 are currently affiliated with the Center for Aesthetic Education can do this.

Be aware of the difference with dual enrollment.

Advice: It is not recommended to go on the so-called 3+1 or 2+2

Go to the preparatory department, however, to pay attention to:

1. What are the optional universities for the preparatory department, don't be oriented, only one or two schools can be selected, the more the better. (Some orientations also say that there are many options to choose from, and people are not lying, but the difficulty of applying for schools without partnerships is different from that of schools with partners, and the things examined are also different).

2. Do I need to take the TOEFL IELTS test, and do I need to take a foreign language course with TOEFL IELTS?

3. Whether it is possible to transfer credits.

4. Whether there is a scholarship.

Wait, let's find out for yourself.

The annual tuition fee of public universities in the United States is 10,000 US dollars + living expenses of 8,000 US dollars (about 150,000 yuan).

The annual tuition fee of private universities in the United States is 30,000 US dollars + 8,000 US dollars (about 250,000 yuan) for living expenses

This is a general impression, and it does not involve scholarships, part-time job income, etc.

For reference.

In recent years, studying abroad has become common, and the United States, as a popular country for studying abroad, has attracted international students from all over the world with its high-quality higher education and diverse professional settings, and more and more students are studying in the United States.

1.Academic performance.

As everyone knows, in fact, in addition to looking at those expressionless grades, they pay more attention to the ranking of students in the class or grade, and whether the school is a key school in the province or city. In order to improve their competitiveness, students have some elective courses with a certain degree of difficulty and get good grades.

2.Standardized tests.

Applying for an undergraduate degree: You need to take the SAT or ACT test. Some schools also require applicants to take SAT II subject exams for special majors.

The choice of subjects to take should be decided according to the admission requirements of the university to which you are applying. Some universities require students to take exams in 2 or 3 subjects.

Graduate Applicants: GRE (non-business), GMAT (business), LSAT (law) exams are required. Some majors and colleges will value applicants' writing scores. Therefore, it is important to know the admission requirements of the university.

3.Academic Achievement.

American schools also attach great importance to China's level competitions. If you have participated in natural science competitions, art and sports competitions, or have been selected for international competitions (such as the Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Olympiad) training team, you can add to the application and prove that the applicant has superior ability in this field. The mentor also indicated that if he has published an article in an academic journal, it is also a part of his personal statement that is worth focusing on to highlight the scientific research ability and academic achievements of the undergraduate application in the United States.

4.Leadership.

Reminder: In fact, for U.S. study abroad institutions, prospective students are expected to have certain leadership qualities, especially most business schools, when admitting students, they will pay attention to the leadership potential reflected in the applicant's previous study and life experience.

We'll be happy to answer for you. Here's how to apply to study in the U.S.:

Step 1: Decide on a school and study plan.

When it comes to studying in the U.S., the main purpose of our study is to learn, so it is especially important to be properly positioned. Tiandao study abroad teachers suggest that during the selection process, it is important to be clear that the "ideal" school is not necessarily the highest ranked, but the most suitable for you. Once you have your college goals in mind, be sure to learn more about the programs you're applying to and deadlines so you can schedule standardized tests accordingly.

Step 2: Learn about the cost of studying abroad.

For graduate students applying to the United States, most schools do not provide scholarships (doctoral students generally have scholarships), so Tiandao study abroad teachers believe that students should know their own financial situation in advance. The tuition fees of different schools will be different, and at the same time, you can also combine the geographical location of the school to understand the local daily life consumption, which is also convenient for reasonable planning of funds.

Step 3: Complete the application.

This part of the application work mainly includes GRE & TOEFL score delivery, paperwork preparation, online application and mailing, etc. Therefore, Tiandao study abroad teachers hope that everyone should leave enough time for this step so that they can fully prepare the relevant materials. Paperwork is a key point, in the process of writing documents, you must be familiar with the focus of various documents, what aspects of materials are needed, and after writing the first draft, you must leave time to revise and polish more, and make a perfect set of documents for yourself.

Generally, when applying for science and engineering graduate students, the essays mainly include one CV, three RLs and one SP. However, individual schools may also require a small PS, so you should also check the school's application requirements in advance. Other documents such as proof of deposit, transcripts, proof of enrollment (graduation certificate, degree certificate), passport, etc. should also be prepared in advance, so that you do not miss the application deadline.

Step 4: Prepare your U.S. visa.

Coming to this point shows that we have successfully obtained the offer from the school, and the application is about to come to an end, but the step of applying for a visa cannot be ignored, and we must prepare carefully. For the U.S. F-1 student visa, there are three main steps: making an appointment, preparing documents, and conducting an interview.

Complete visa materials are the basis for a successful visa, so Tiandao study abroad teachers suggest that you must prepare all the needs according to the requirements.

Step 5: Pack your bags and get ready to go.

The following is the application process for a student visa to study in the United States, the materials to be prepared and the fee standard, etc., I hope it will be helpful to you! First of all, pay special attention:

1. Applicants must first be admitted to a school or program in the United States before they can apply for a student visa. Once admitted, the U.S. educational institution provides each applicant with the approval documents required to apply for a student visa.

2. It is recommended that nonimmigrant visa applicants apply at least three months prior to travel. Note: Apply early!

3. Food and any liquids, including beverages, are not allowed at the visa section of the embassy. No electronic devices, including mobile phones, are also allowed, so it is recommended not to bring anything other than keys, wallets and visa application folders.

4. The visa section of the U.S. Embassy is under the surveillance of the United States, pay attention to your words and deeds, all your actions are under the surveillance of the camera, and it is very likely to affect your visa results.

5. Honesty is very important in the interview, misguidance, lying or presenting relevant false materials may lead to permanent refusal.

1. Students with excellent comprehensive quality.

Students with good comprehensive quality can apply to undergraduate colleges and universities in the United States with a comprehensive ranking of 50 or earlier, but most of them require language scores and SAT scores, GPA above and above, and excellent software background.

2. Students with average comprehensive quality.

You can apply to about 80 schools in the United States, but most schools require TOEFL or IELTS scores, and the GPA should be above or above.

3. Students with average or poor grades.

How can students with average or poor grades study in the United States? Generally, students can choose dual enrollment, that is, many schools between 40 and 200 students, only need to meet other conditions, do not need to have a language score and SAT score, or only need a low TOEFL or IELTS score to enroll. This kind of application, when admitted, at the same time, you get two admission letters from the university and the language college you want to apply to, so it is also called dual enrollment.

After admission, students are generally required to study in the school's language school for one or two semesters, and after passing the grades, they can enter the relevant departments of the university for formal study. Therefore, dual enrollment in the United States often becomes the first choice for students who do not have much energy to devote to language tests in high school, or who apply to study in the United States and do not want to give up the college entrance examination.

After the college entrance examination, students can have sufficient energy and time to train for TOEFL and IELTS. Some of the top 100 universities in the United States implement dual enrollment, that is, language + full course admission. The advantage of dual enrollment is that students do not need to provide language scores during the application process, increasing the acceptance rate.

Even if your college entrance examination score is not satisfactory, even if your language score does not meet the requirements, you can still enter a prestigious American school, as long as the study abroad plan is reasonable and the preparation is sufficient.

I don't know how your academic performance is, when I went to the United States, I studied okay, and it was relatively simple to apply on the Internet, and then I applied by myself, and then there was no then, the application was a mess, and then a classmate's sister recommended a few intermediaries, and then came to the door one by one, and finally chose Youfu to study abroad.

In addition to your own strength, it is to find an intermediary to apply or DIY to apply for bai

If you apply for a better school, it is recommended to find a professional intermediary, and the focus is relatively high, such as Youfu Study Abroad, which is only an intermediary for studying in the United States, is more suitable for people with higher target positioning to understand, mainly in combination with their own conditions.

It depends on whether you want to go to high school or college. The procedures are different, and the materials submitted are different, but they are generally the following parts.

First, you can screen the high school or university you want to go to, you can check the information yourself, or you can go through an intermediary (if you want a high-quality intermediary, you can talk to me privately). If you look for it yourself, you will save some money, but it is more time-saving to find an agent (provided that the agent in charge is a lot of interview fraud, so I will not name it), there is a good agent, the information will be very complete, and it is usually easier to apply to the ideal school.

Usually you need your previous transcripts, translations, your bio (essay), letters of recommendation from teachers and tutors, etc.

My experience is that for high schools, the minimum TOEFL English score of about 70 is generally submitted, and the higher the better, to improve the chance of admission. If you don't need an English language score, most of them will require you to take some language courses in addition to the main course. The top high schools in the United States must be in language, usually above 90-100.

Universities are generally between 80-100, depending on the ranking of the school you go to, as well as the performance of other subjects and whether your letters of recommendation are strong. If you are particularly good in other areas, there is a possibility that the school will lower the standard in terms of language.

Prepare for the interview, which is usually conducted by a teacher in the United States. Ask simple questions, such as what extracurricular activities do you enjoy? What are your hobbies?

Something like that. They are more interested in whether you are a lively and cheerful person, so you should try to show your sunny and cheerful side. So you have to prepare in advance and learn some English greetings.

If you want to study in the United States, whether you are studying for an undergraduate, master's degree or a doctorate, you must use the existing basic background to apply to the corresponding school. In fact, the general process is almost the same, and the main thing is to grasp the details.

Let's take my experience of applying for a master's degree in the United States, first of all, I started to prepare in the second semester of my junior year, in fact, this time period of preparation is just right, there is plenty of time and not tension. The first step is to determine the school I am applying for, the teacher can accurately evaluate the appropriate school and major according to my situation, and then I will screen the school I think I like and suitable for the follow-up application, and then I will prepare the essay writing, all kinds of preparation of application materials, and after the preparation is completed, I will submit the application and wait for the offer.

In fact, looking at what I said, I feel that the process is still very simple, but in fact, every step needs to be completed very carefully, especially the quality of the paperwork is very important, and the application must not be sloppy.

If you want to apply for admission this fall, you need to prepare as soon as possible, and if you are applying for admission next fall, you still have plenty of time, you can plan well in advance, and you will be successful.
