How to choose a university in the United States?

For many novices who are new to studying abroad applications, choosing a school and essays have always been a big problem. So what should be done? In my experience of applying for an undergraduate in the United States, I can't choose a school blindly in the first place, or only be keen on those top universities in the United States, which may lead to a bias in the application results after ZUI.

Although the target school I set at that time was also a famous school, this was a choice made by Huide's later teachers after referring to my grades and the strength of the soft background of the project, so if our strength allows, we must sprint to a famous American school. However, there are a lot of famous schools in the United States, in order to be able to apply for a famous school that suits me, the teacher will still refer to my professional direction, curriculum setting, geographical location of the institution, as well as the climatic conditions of the region, employment environment and other factors, and then comprehensively judge and choose the right college for me.

Then let's talk about essay writing, which is very important for applying to prestigious schools, and when writing, you should think about how to make a deep impression on the admissions officer. How can I make my essay more attractive? How else can the quality of the documents be ensured?

In response to these points, I did this, first of all, starting from the collection of essay materials, on which the teacher talked to me many times in the later stage, to understand my learning, life, interests and hobbies, so as to participate in the competition activities, the later teacher according to my experience, help me reorganize, redefine, and then dig out the shining points, according to these shining points we will also carry out in-depth extension and discussion, combined with things in reality to make my advantages more obvious, but also more real, this is also a point that the document needs to have, don't think about making up some experiences, that is very likely to be exposed, and even lead to your lifelong loss of chance with your dream school. Back to the topic, after collecting the essay materials, we will start to write it formally, and during the writing period, I will discuss with the teacher in the later stage, and then pick out the words, grasp the details, and improve the quality of the essay through revisions again and again. To be honest, very few people invest a lot of time in essays nowadays, and it is really rare for me to write for four or five months, but in contrast, the quality of the essays that only take a few weeks to complete is really low, and the template is serious, which is simply coping, so it has no effect when applying to prestigious schools.

There are many types of undergraduate rankings in the United States, which vary widely and have different credibility levels, such as those that are. newsUS University Rankings, The Princeton Review rankings, Forbes rankings, etc. Many students look at the American university rankings mainly for rankings.

In fact, American students and parents do not look at rankings when choosing a university, except for a few particularly well-known universities, such as Ivy League schools. As Chinese, we inevitably act according to the Chinese mindset in the early stage of school selection, but as we deepen our understanding of American higher education, we will find that some rankings are based on no practical meaning for applicants, and we should choose American universities that are suitable for us rather than high-ranking schools.

There are more than 4,000 universities in the United States, and we can only go to one of them, so we need to filter out the list of candidate universities according to the criteria of our choice, and we can make a candidate list of two types of universities according to the classification of comprehensive universities and liberal arts colleges. Screening criteria are set by both the student and the parent, such as required SAT or ACT scores, TOEFL scores, tuition, school location, etc.

I don't know what major the landlord is, so let's choose a school according to your major. It is recommended that you find a professional study abroad agency to analyze it for you, after all, there are so many foreign schools, and they still know better. I feel that they are more authoritative to study in the United States, and they are mainly responsible for applying for high-end colleges and universities in the United States, and they are more experienced in applying for scholarships, you can go to their teachers to give you an analysis and analysis, make a plan, and find out about it, it is best to start preparing early

1. The SAT is also known as the American college entrance examination, which is a test conducted by a relevant test center in the United States. This test is not only a basic requirement for admission to all universities in the United States, but also uses it as a standard for school scholarships. 2.

AP AP is an abbreviation of Advanced Placement, which is actually what we often call a prerequisite course, and generally this AP is only for students who want to come to the United States for undergraduate studies.

I think that choosing a school should be considered in many aspects, first consider your major, and it is best to choose a college with outstanding advantages in this major. Secondly, your academic background and standardized test scores meet the requirements of which type of institutions, such as applying for top 50 universities in the United States, GPA should be greater than, if you apply for undergraduate IELTS at least, if you apply for graduate IELTS at least, 7 points are more secure. If these hard indicators do not meet the requirements of the school, the likelihood of getting an offer is very small.

Third, consider the cost of studying abroad. In general, it costs less to attend a state university than a private university, and the cost varies depending on the location, for example, it is more expensive to study at a university on the West Coast of the United States than on the West Coast.
