The deadline for applying for admission in autumn is generally from February to April, and the California system is the end of the year before admission, and the deadline is165438+1October 30.
The deadline for applying for admission in spring is generally from September 15 to June 165438+ 10/5. It should be noted that the number of places for admission in spring is limited, and many TOP30 schools do not open spring applications.
Standardized test scores
GPA reflects our learning ability. In general, the GPA of 3.5+ is a relatively stable GPA, and the GPA requirements of Top30 University and popular majors will be higher. For example, the professional requirements of business schools and engineering colleges will be above 3.7 and 3.8.
TOEFL embodies language ability. The basic requirement of TOP50 is 90,95 or above, and the requirement for schools before ranking is 100 or even higher.
SAT (American College Entrance Examination)
Freshman transfer, many schools require students to take 30 to 60 credits to avoid SAT. Therefore, if you want to apply for a prestigious school, for the international students who transfer to a freshman, in addition to TOEFL, you have to take the SAT.
Sophomore transfer, for students who have completed 30 to 60 points, most schools are exempt from SAT, but students who want to sprint Top20 still need to prepare for SAT (first, some universities require SAT to be prepared; Second, for schools without mandatory requirements, they can increase their competitiveness. )。
advanced placement
Many American universities have requirements for professional prerequisites:
For example, the mathematics major at Cornell University requires you to take courses such as linear algebra, calculus and elementary computer programming. Students who have studied in other universities for less than two years cannot directly enter Cornell's mathematics major, so they can only enter the mathematics major after completing the above prerequisites before the end of their sophomore year.
transferable credit
Generally speaking, the higher the degree of professional matching, the more the professional courses match the university courses you want to apply for, and the higher your transferable credits will be. It means that we won't waste more time and money (after all, American universities need money to get credits).
In addition, the credits of general courses in universities can be transferred. If you transfer to a foreign university at home, you can't transfer credits for general courses such as physical education, English except writing, philosophy, etc.
Course description
The transferred university evaluates how many credits the students can transfer through the courses offered by the students or the original university. For students applying for undergraduate courses in the United States, the school has an English course description, which only needs to be submitted by the original university to the new university.
document
The documents of undergraduate transfer are very different from those of undergraduate direct report. The transfer problem mainly focuses on why to transfer, and the contents mainly include:
Why do you want to transfer? Why didn't the original university suit you? Why do you want to transfer? Why did you choose this major? How does changing careers help your own development? Wait a minute.
Don't complain about your old university. The documents should reflect your persistence and understanding in applying for American universities, and have high attainments in the applied majors, so as to improve the success rate of application.
(Our document tutors are all tutors who are studying or graduated from famous American universities. They have a deep understanding of the characteristics of each university, and can truly give students the advantages, disadvantages, characteristics and enrollment preferences of each university, so that students' documents are more detailed and distinctive, and admissions officers can also see that students really know their own schools very well, which is very helpful for writing transfer documents. )
Recommendation letters
Generally, university teachers, professional course tutors, professors, department heads and so on are needed. Get to know your teacher. The letter of recommendation written in this way is more powerful, more authentic and more convincing.
Background activities
School associations, academic competitions, lectures, interest extension, etc. These activities can not only show the applicant's leadership and interpersonal skills, but also show the applicant's interest and potential in the future professional direction. Scientific research, internship experience, and publishing papers of related majors will also increase your application advantages and reflect your academic ability.
So these are the materials that need to be prepared and the factors that need attention. I hope I can help you.
