Applying to U.S. Graduate School: Research Internships Are More Important Than Grades?

An interviewer at Yale University said: "American universities pay great attention to what kind of research and internship programs students have participated in during their undergraduate years, and if the applicant does not have a strong academic background, it will also be rejected." Different from Chinese universities, the standard of admissions in American universities is not "one point for the world", but more emphasis on the academic background of students, so the design of scientific research and internship programs is very important for application.

The experience of research internship can not only help you gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation of the relevant major or industry, but also enrich the content of your later application materials. One of the main differences between Chinese college students and American college students is that in terms of practical ability, a scientific research internship with a certain gold content can be used as a good compensation, reflecting your practical ability and research depth of the major you are applying for.

Baili Tianxia study abroad experts remind everyone that the closer the scientific research internship experience is to the professional direction of the application, the better, because what American college admissions officers want to see is your major, your personal experience and experience. Especially for business students, your internship experience will not only meet the most basic admission requirements of the school, but also be the most important topic of conversation in the interview.

You can use this study abroad volunteer reference system.

Enter your GPA, major, intended country, language scores, school background, etc., filter out study abroad cases similar to your own situation, see which colleges and universities they have successfully applied to, and understand the TA's handling agents and final admission results, so as to provide reference for your study abroad plan. You can also check according to the study abroad goals, and see what backgrounds (how many points in language scores, what is the school background, what major, how much GPA is the GPA, etc.) of your target universities and majors, and then compare your own situation and formulate general goals and directions.

If you want to know whether you meet the admission requirements of which institutions with your current grades, or what level of universities abroad you can apply to with your current grade level?

Through the study abroad volunteer reference system, submit your personal grades, and the system will automatically match the cases of classmates with similar situations to you from the database, and see which colleges and majors they have successfully applied for, so that you can see what level of colleges and majors you can apply for at your current level, and accurately position yourself.

Through the Voluntary Study Abroad Reference System, submit your study abroad goals, and you can find out who has the same idea as you and whether their application is successful.

Do I need internship experience for graduate school in the United States? Let's talk to you!

1. Internship work

Do I need to participate in an internship or a job? First of all, consider whether you have enough time and energy, whether the TOEFL IELTS and GRE scores have been brushed out, if not, it is recommended to take the test first, because the score is the premise of deciding whether you can apply and what grade of school to apply for.

If you can arrange internships and revisions, and you are confident that your results will be tested at the right time, and the company you intern at is more famous, such as the world's top 500, and the content of the job is very relevant to the application, you can also go to the internship or work first.

In addition, for some majors, the school clearly requires that it is best or must have internship experience, such as management-related majors, such as information management system major, engineering management, policy and management under public health, if the same hardware conditions and college background, students with internship or work experience are more advantageous.

2** (including journals and conferences, etc.).

For master's applicants, if there is **, it can be the icing on the cake of the application, and if not, it will not have much impact on the application. For doctoral applicants, it is best to have **, if not, it is better to have a rich scientific research background. Because the main purpose of both ** and scientific research projects is to prove the applicant's scientific research ability.

Does it mean anything, is it Chinese or English? In the first author, is it a work, or is it just a name? **Is the journal published at the university, national, or international level?

What is the impact factor? It is recommended that if you can, write in English as much as possible, rank the authors as high as possible, and publish in the journal that is best at the national or international level, the larger the impact factor, the better, so that the gold content is relatively high. If the content of ** matches the professor's research, it will be very helpful for the application.

The same is true for larger meetings**.

3. Teaching assistant and research assistant experience

As mentioned above, if you have a similar experience, it will be of great help to apply for teaching assistantships and research assistantships during your PhD in the future. So if you have the opportunity, and time and energy allow, try to participate.

4. Activities (including student unions, volunteers, etc.).

In addition to the main research background in the resume, the school will also pay attention to the student's extracurricular performance, which can show the student's other abilities and personalities, such as leadership, teamwork, helpfulness, love of life, etc.

There is no need to participate in extracurricular activities because the main influence is the scientific research background. In addition, for specific majors, you can focus on highlighting some experiences. For example, if you apply for public health, you can highlight your volunteer experience, and if you apply for a management-related major, you can highlight your experience as a leader.

It's very important, grades are stepping stones, good internships and scientific research can get good admissions. I started to prepare all kinds of materials in my junior year, and I prepared relatively late, because my language scores were still brushing, and I felt that I couldn't apply for a good admission, but then I found a reliable agent, and slowly gained confidence. Take me to say, I applied for CS, and the teacher suggested that I find a CS-related internship, such as an Internet company, the IT department of a general company or a computer research institution.
