American graduate students generally require applicants to meet at least the following conditions:
1, TOEFL score. At least above 79, the highest requirement is generally 100. The level of performance requirements is related to two aspects: 1, the ranking of schools. Generally speaking, the higher the ranking, the higher the TOEFL score. 2. Professional nature, generally speaking, the scores required by science and engineering are relatively low, while the scores required by "liberal arts" majors such as business, media and literature will be higher, and good schools are generally 65438+. In recent years, many graduate schools have recognized the IELTS test, but from the perspective of application, students applying for the United States are advised to take the IELTS test cautiously. First, the recognition of IELTS will be limited by the department-maybe the undergraduate admission of the school recognizes IELTS, but the graduate school you intend to apply for does not recognize IELTS. Second, most IELTS scores require 7 points. If you get 6.5, choosing a school will be a "very painful" process!
2. Postgraduate entrance examination scores. Mainly GRE, GMAT, LSAT. MCAT scored. Among the four grades, GRE is the most extensive entrance examination, including mathematics and Chinese, and most majors require applicants to provide this grade. There is no clear score requirement, especially after the GRE reform, the score of new grades (260-340) will make everyone more confused, and the percentage on the random test paper will become more important (showing your ranking percentage among candidates). GMAT is a postgraduate entrance examination for management, so most business and public administration majors will require applicants to provide it. GMAT and GRE have exam opportunities every month in China. LSAT is an exam specially designed for students applying for JD degree in law school, while LLM (Master of Law) in law school does not require applicants to provide LSAT scores. MCAT is an exam specially designed for students applying for medical school. There are a few majors in the United States that do not require applicants to provide entrance examinations. Besides LLM, there are also teaching and art.
3. GPA, that is, the average undergraduate score. American universities attach great importance to undergraduate scores and require at least 3.0 (the domestic average score is above 80). If you want to apply for a doctorate, you may require 3.3 or even 3.5. If the GPA is lower than 3.0, it will be very difficult to apply for a better school. If the GPA is lower than 2.5, it will be a miracle to be admitted to graduate school.
