What do I need to apply to a U.S. university?

Requirements for applying to U.S. universities:

One. Language scores.

Students who want to go to the U.S. undergraduate program need to prepare for two standardized test scores, one is the TOEFL and the other is the SAT.

TOEFL is a required test score for studying in the United States, and each university has a minimum TOEFL admission score for applicants, and it is closely related to the success rate of applying for scholarships. Some universities are TOEFL waived if there are students in the U.S. who have completed grades 9-12.

The SAT test is equivalent to China's college entrance examination, which is a required test score required by American universities when recruiting applicants, and it is also a standardized test used in American college admissions. The test lasts more than 3 hours and is based on multiple-choice questions and writing, which mainly tests candidates' reading, mathematics and writing skills. A very poor SAT score will greatly reduce an applicant's success rate, while a very good SAT score will greatly increase competitiveness.

Two. Application Materials.

TOEFL and SAT scores are an essential requirement for applicants to apply for undergraduate admission to U.S. universities. In order to complete the complete application, applicants will also need to submit the following:

1.High School Academic Transcript (GPA).

Students studying in China need to provide a complete high school transcript to the university they are applying to, and they must be in both Chinese and English, each with the official seal of the school. Transcripts from U.S. high school students can be sent by the school to the colleges they are applying to, or they can self-report their transcripts.

2.Letters of recommendation.

Applicants are generally required to provide 3 letters of recommendation in English, generally math teacher, English teacher and homeroom teacher. The letter of recommendation needs to be sent directly to the university to which you are applying, and it must not pass through the applicant's hand, especially for students from American high schools, and the letter of recommendation will be sent directly to the university you are applying to.

3.Instrument.

U.S. universities generally require applicants to provide a resume, college application essays, etc. One of the general principles of writing an essay is to be sure to write around your own characteristics, and to show your highlights to the university you are applying to without reservation.

4.IB, AP and other international course results (American high school students).

Students in high schools in the United States will choose to take some IB and AP courses in high school, such as AP Calculus, AP American Literature, IB World History, etc., and the results of international courses in this area can more fully reflect the actual learning situation of applicants. If your grades are good enough, it can also be a big boost for college applications.

5.Extracurricular activities.

When applying to college, universities look not only at academics, but also at extracurricular activities. All kinds of sports, art activities, academic competitions, volunteer activities, and internships will be awarded to you. If there is an impact on others or yourself in the activities you are participating in, please be sure to write about it.

6.Interview.

Some colleges do not conduct a high-school-style one-on-one interview, but require applicants to provide an InitialView, Vericant interview**, and some universities invite some applicants for an interview.

Under normal circumstances, Chinese students need to meet the following basic conditions to apply for undergraduate programs at American universities:

Depending on the respective admissions methods of U.S. universities, applicants can apply early and regularly during these five months. Early application requires applicants to submit their application materials to the university they are applying to by November 1 or 15, while the regular application deadline is mostly January 1 or 2 of the following year, and some universities have an application deadline of January 15, and some even February 1.

Early applicants will generally be notified of their admission results around mid-December, while regular applicants will be notified of their admission results around February and the end of March at the latest. The key to an applicant's early application is whether they have the standardized test (SAT or ACT) and language test (TOEFL or IELTS) scores required by the university they are applying to by the end of October.
