Saving money by studying in America
Undergraduate transfer to the United States only needs to complete the remaining credits in the United States, which shortens the time of studying in the United States and reduces the cost of studying abroad.
It is difficult to apply.
The application for undergraduate transfer to the United States is less difficult than that for freshman study in the United States. To apply for the entrance of American undergraduate freshmen, it is necessary to take the SAT of American College Entrance Examination, which is quite difficult for students from non-English speaking countries in China. However, most famous universities can apply for undergraduate transfer, and they don't need SAT scores. Some schools can also avoid taking the SAT as long as they want to transfer more than 60 points. Take the IBT exam and get 80 points. At the same time, compared with the requirement that the GPA of freshmen applying for high school entrance is above 3.0, the requirement that the GPA of undergraduate transfer is above 2.5 is relatively low.
American bachelor's degree has a high gold content.
As we all know, the American education system is the most advanced in the world, and its core part is four-year undergraduate education. If you can get a bachelor's degree in America, there is no doubt about its gold content. Whether you are directly employed after graduation or continuing to study in graduate school, your starting point will be much higher.
Lay the foundation for applying for graduate students from famous American universities.
Many China students feel like famous schools, hoping to apply to universities such as Ivy League. However, the competition for applications from such top universities is fierce, and the admission rate of Harvard reached a new low this year, only 6. 17%. Other universities with admission rates below 10% include Brown University (8.7%), Columbia University (6.93%), Dartmouth University (9.73%), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (9.58%), Princeton University (8.39%), Stanford University (7.07%) and Yale University (7.07%). For China students, it is extremely difficult to directly apply for such a top university at the undergraduate or postgraduate level.
Undergraduate transfer to the United States can provide convenient conditions for future master's and doctoral applications. Compared with accepting foreign graduate students and doctoral students, graduate students in American universities have more opportunities to apply for master's and doctoral degrees, and are more likely to be favored by universities. Being in a foreign country, you can easily use various resources, including interviews, visiting professors, and knowing which schools are enrolling students in real time. After I have a deep understanding of the local culture, I can better reflect my personality and my lively self when I communicate with the interview teacher. These all have unique advantages in application.
You can have the opportunity to transfer to your favorite major.
You can choose your favorite major when you apply to transfer to an American university. China University's restrictions on the choice of majors are relatively dead. If you don't study your favorite major, it is very difficult to change. But the undergraduate education system in the United States is relatively humanized. They think that students can't determine the major they are really interested in or the major they want to pursue in the future and their life development direction when they are freshmen and sophomores. Therefore, American universities begin to choose majors in the third year, and even students with a major in the same grade can choose different subjects according to their hobbies. It is convenient to change majors, and students can freely choose the second and third majors. Many students have found a more suitable space for their study and development through transfer. However, it should be noted that it is very difficult for you to apply for cross-majors if you have finished your undergraduate studies in China and continue your postgraduate studies in the United States. Because American universities assume that students have been given full opportunities to choose freely in their junior and senior years (in fact, students studying in China don't have such opportunities), they should not change their majors casually. Students who change their majors just lack planning and don't think clearly at the undergraduate stage.
