Standardized test scores matter.

The language score is mainly TOEFL and is the first step in the doctoral application.

In addition, GRE scores are required for science and engineering, GMAT scores are required for business, and LSAT scores are required for law.

Therefore, relevant research experience during the undergraduate period is essential. In addition, special attention should be paid to the role of letters of recommendation in the application.

Whether to go to the United States for a master's degree or a doctorate directly after graduating from a bachelor's degree can be considered in combination with the following four points:

Number of years of study. Most master's degrees in the U.S. take two years. A Ph.D. can take four to seven years (about five years on average). If you need to get a degree quickly and return to China to work, then a master's degree is more suitable.

Cost of studying abroad. Ph.D. usually takes about 5 years, and at least 100-1.5 million RMB is required for financial preparation. But going to the United States to study for a PhD is the most likely to get a full scholarship, which can cover almost all the tuition and living expenses in the United States, and even save some money.

Although the time period and cost of a master's degree are small, it is relatively difficult to apply for a scholarship.

own conditions. The Ph.D. is mainly for shaping research-oriented talents, so the curriculum is more theoretical and the content is more in-depth, so the learning process is relatively boring and long, and it may be difficult to persist in completing it without a clear career plan and strong professional interest support.

Career Choices. After graduating from the doctorate, most of them choose academic research jobs, and even if they enter the workplace, most of them are scientific research departments.

Master's degree generally chooses direct employment jobs. Because many majors are directly linked to the market situation, such as chain management, aviation management, sports management, data analysis, etc., it is helpful for students to find the right job after completing their studies.
