Some questions about applying for graduate school in the United States under special circumstances,

The 2013 application process for studying in the U.S. can be divided into five steps: filling out the application**, paying the application fee, preparing application materials, interviewing, formally submitting the application, and receiving the school's offer of admission.

1. Fill in the application**.

The application** should be filled out clearly and the information should be correct. If there are no special requirements, it is best to fill out the application form with a typewriter or word. The information should be consistent, and the spelling of the name in all documents should be the same to facilitate the school's review of the materials.

For Social Security numbers, follow the instructions to leave out or fill in "none". The name and address of the applicant's school, employer, examination and award must be filled in completely, and no abbreviation can be used. Education or work history should be filled in order (chronological or reverse).

2. Pay the application fee.

Many universities require applicants to pay an application fee. Payment must be made in U.S. dollars, either by international credit card or by bank order or by mailing a money order to the address provided by the school.

3. Preparation of application materials.

1.Proof of academic qualifications.

2.Standardized test score reports.

3.Personal statements and articles.

4.Letters of recommendation.

5.Proof of financial aid.

3. Interview. Some universities or colleges require applicants to attend an interview, which is conducted by a graduated alumni of the university in their home country. International students will see if they can be exempted from this procedure if it is not convenient for them to attend the interview.

Don't turn down an interview if you have the opportunity, it's a great opportunity to showcase your abilities and demeanor, and you can learn more directly from former students.

4. Formal application.

Submit all application materials to the school of your choice along with the application fee, and supplement them at any time as requested by the school. It should be noted that in order to ensure the result of the application, you can apply to some prestigious schools, as well as some general schools.

5. Obtain an offer from the school

Wait for the school to be accepted. If you are admitted to several schools at the same time, do not respond too hastily, you should carefully consider a series of comprehensive evaluations such as the scholarship situation, whether the tuition fee is reasonable, and your own wishes, and finally decide which school you want to go to.

You are a very hard-working student, and this question is also very high-end, I think I know that few can meet your answer, and it is recommended that you directly ** your interesting American school, and consult in detail.

In fact, grades, background projects, essays, letters of recommendation, etc. are equally important, and the usual scientific research or internship cannot be concentrated in the senior year, it should be reasonably distributed, and there will be some activities in the freshman year. For example, in terms of some details, let me listen carefully in class, accumulate speeches, and prepare questions to ask the professor after class, so that I can leave an impression on the professor, and after getting acquainted with it, I will follow the professor to do projects, if there is no teacher to guide me, I don't know how to have a good relationship with the professor, and I have to choose scientific research or internship according to the different majors, which requires experienced teachers to help you.

To apply for graduate school in the United States, you must take the TOEFL or IELTS test, of which the TOEFL score is more widely adapted in the United States. This is a language proficiency test for international students.

In addition to this test, the most important thing to prepare for the exam is the test of knowledge and ability, that is, the well-known GRE or GMAT test, GRE is a necessary test for applying for science, mathematics, engineering and other majors, there are only two exams in June and October every year, even for students with a considerable foundation in English, it is not easy to get an ideal score (1350-1500), which requires sufficient preparation time, good English knowledge, skills and broad knowledge.

The GMAT, on the other hand, is a necessary exam for MBA and Master of Business. Although this test is held every month, it also requires good English application skills, and considerable accumulation of business management knowledge and experience, so as to achieve the ideal score of 700 points or more in the GMAT exam. DAT scores are required for dental majors, MCAT scores are required for medical majors, LSAT scores are required for law majors, etc.

However, some U.S. universities do not require GRE or GMAT scores for students applying to graduate programs. Of course, some institutions also offer dual enrollment programs without language.

The landlord can refer to the reference system for studying abroad.

Your grades are still good, 50 100 is still quite promising, after all, 30 50 competition is very fierce, but for a major like engineering, in fact, the professional ranking is more important than the comprehensive ranking.

Chemical engineering is a very good major to find a job, and even if you graduate from a bachelor's degree in the United States, you are likely to find a job directly. And the starting salary is also very high. If you graduate with a master's degree, it is not difficult to find a job. However, the master's degree in chemical engineering is very difficult!

There are very few U.S. universities that accept Chinese college students to take a preparatory course (at least 1 year) and go straight to the school's master's degree after graduation, but there are very few such schools. In addition, there may be some bad schools that will provide it, so it is recommended not to consider it.

If a college student wants to pursue a master's degree, it is usually treated as a transfer student, and then apply for a master's program after completing a bachelor's degree program in the United States.

It is very common to change schools and majors at American universities. For Chinese students, no matter what year of junior college you are, the process of applying to any U.S. university is the same as that of a freshman. Application form, application fee, financial guarantee, TOEFL scores, transcripts, resume.

Note: In the application form for each school, there is a column asking if you are a freshman or transfer student(Freshman or Transfer Student). If you are a tertiary student, you are a transfer student.

Next, you need to list in detail the courses, credits, and grades you have taken in the application form. If you are successfully admitted, you can transfer some credits. Transfer students who apply for American universities need to convert courses and credits according to the requirements of the school for how many credits they need to take after studying in the United States.

Foreign formal schools are very strict in the evaluation of credit transfer, so college students should not blindly believe in the statement that "credit transfer can be carried out" in the process of consulting and studying abroad. The first is the issue of credit recognition. Many foreign colleges and universities do not recognize the credits of domestic college students, especially in the United States, the recognition of college credits is very complicated, and there are not many credits that can be transferred.

The second is the issue of curriculum articulation. Even if credits are recognized, starting from the sophomore or junior year, due to the different education systems in China and the United States, the curriculum and textbooks are also very different, and college students need to put in more effort than high school students to overcome the difficulties of curriculum articulation.

Which school does the landlord study, and your background is still good for applying for a master's degree. Give yourself more confidence, it is more reasonable to set a target of 30-50 in the early stage, and you can brush down the TOEFL again, although the language requirements for engineering are not very high, but a high TOEFL will still enhance competitiveness. The GRE recommends sprinting to 320 points so that the top 50 isn't a particularly big problem.

For employment, the landlord can refer to the school's graduates and employers in the process of checking the school, the overall development and focus of different states are not the same, when choosing, it is recommended that the landlord mainly refer to the academic strength and comprehensive quality, employment no matter which school, the key lies in the ability and opportunity.

I think 50-100 will be possible, it is recommended to go to usnews to see the comprehensive rankings and professional rankings, TOEFL can't be said to be holding back, but the GRE must be tested, I hope it will help you.

Look at what university you are. 50-100 is more dramatic. Take the TOEFL test again and aim for a score of around 100. The GRE test is a little higher. The most important thing is to find three great people to help you write a letter of recommendation.

1. Be sure to go to the official website to check the specific application requirements for a program, including but not limited to the deadline for submitting an online application, TOEFL score requirements, whether GT needs to send scores, whether you need to mail transcripts, and some requirements for essay writing.

2. The materials uploaded in the online application, such as documents, transcripts, passports, etc., especially the documents, should be uploaded in pdf format to prevent the school from receiving garbled characters. The transcript must be a scanned version of the official transcript and cannot be uploaded with online screenshots.

3. All online applications should be filled in English.

4. The mailed transcript must be the official transcript issued by the school, and each page of the transcript needs to be stamped with the official seal of the school. The envelope must also be stamped with the school's official seal.

5. Except for a few items that are exempt from the application fee, the application fee needs to be paid before the submission of the general online application. Make sure that the online application is submitted successfully.

6. After submitting the online application, it is necessary to regularly review the status of the online application and complete the application materials as soon as possible.

In fact, when applying for a study abroad agent, you need to pay attention to it.

When I first looked for an agent, I signed with a lot of people. There are many study abroad agents on the market, and in order to sign a contract, they may grasp your eagerness to go abroad, and will say that they have overseas resources, and they have a cooperative relationship with xx colleges and universities in the United States, etc., so as to promote the signing. So pay attention to this, there is no famous school that can be swayed by the intermediary, and if you want to apply for a good school, you can only rely on strength.

At the suggestion of a friend, I learned about Huide's experienced teachers and one-to-one service model, which makes different application plans for different students. Anyway, this intermediary is quite suitable, everyone's situation is different, you can choose the right agency according to your own situation!

This system is now used by many schools. It is convenient and fast to use, if there is any mistake or omission, there will be a particularly detailed and clear link prompt, you can push the email to the designated mailbox, and support modification and deletion;

The disadvantage is that the size of the file is required to be no more than 500k.

This should be the worst online application system that many students complain about, the page is complex, the page needs to be turned like browsing, the speed is slow, and the space for filling in the content is always not enough, etc., but public universities in Texas are using this system.

05. The school's own systemPlease be careful not to fill in the following information

1.Personal Information

This part is nothing more than the applicant's basic personal information, just fill in the required order in turn. It should be noted that the name suffix (name suffix) part of the name filling part is not required for Chinese.

middle name, the Chinese do not have either, so this column is not filled in.

2.Project information

Mainly fill in some content about the professional degree and its admission time, etc., fill in carefully, and avoid carelessness, otherwise the final application will be delayed due to filling in the wrong application modification. If you are applying to colleges and universities that have their own independent systems, knowing that the school may only allow you to apply for one major, you need to weigh the pros and cons to make your own choice, whether to value the major or the school?

3.Education

According to the requirements of the online application system, carefully check your own information to ensure that the information on the degree certificate and the transcript are consistent. When uploading transcripts, you need to pay attention to the size of the format.

4.Standardized test scores

Regarding the part of filling in the grades, there are often students who are careless, either they read the wrong line when they look at the numbers and fill them in, or they are in the process of filling in, because the fingertips are inadvertently pressed on the keyboard, resulting in multiple dots or letters and other problems, which need everyone's attention.

5.Letters of recommendation.

A good letter of recommendation will help you get admission places or even scholarships, so during the online application process, confirm the information of your referee before filling it in.

6.Financial capacity

When filling in, just fill in truthfully, after all, the school will verify the truth based on the proof of assets you provide.
