Third, how to apply for a scholarship

First of all, we should have a clear understanding and positioning of ourselves, and determine the school and major according to our actual situation. The better the school, the fiercer the competition for applying for American university scholarships. Relatively speaking, applying for a scholarship is more exciting. From the professional point of view, such as MBA, law, mass media and other popular majors, it is extremely difficult to get scholarships, but for such majors as science and engineering, China students are very competitive in winning prizes. Secondly, we should highlight our potential and advantages in the application materials. For foreign universities, the initial scholarship is determined according to the applicant's materials. Because the scores of TOEFL, GRE (course) and GMAT seen by foreign professors are similar to the average scores during college. At this time, the applicant's materials, recommendation letters, resumes, reading plans, research directions, etc. account for a large proportion. That is to say, in addition to the necessary test scores must be "up to standard" or even higher, the school pays more attention to your practical ability and scientific research background, focusing on your own advantages in academic activities, scientific research ability and collaborative quality, and establishes regular communication relations with tutors.
