2. American universities pay more attention to students' personal qualities, academic achievements and academic potential. Therefore, these aspects should be highlighted when preparing the application materials. After all, they are students of science and engineering and medicine.
3. What can I add to my application? Professional-related internships are certain. In addition, if possible, join the research group of a teacher in the department, participate in relevant scientific research activities and study, and accumulate scientific research experience (it would be better if you published an article, which is hard to find. Don't worry about whether it is the top three authors, after all, it is good to have a signature in the article, which can definitely add points to the application for studying abroad.
As for letters of recommendation, they are usually teachers from two schools. Don't blindly pursue high professional titles, find familiar teachers, professors and associate professors. Or have a recommendation letter from the boss or direct supervisor of the internship unit. Generally, after you write (English), ask the referee to sign it.
5, applying for graduate students in the United States needs to take GRE, and it is more difficult (the specific situation is not very clear), so it is necessary to prepare early and take TOEFL. Now many American schools have begun to accept IELTS scores. For the specific list, please refer to IELTS China official website. Choose one of TOEFL and IELTS, GRE is mandatory), and be careful not to take the language test too early, because the score is valid for two years. It is suggested to solve the language test in grade three. The problem of the training class depends on your own situation, because the tuition fee of the training class is several thousand at a time, and some of them are higher, but the advantage of the training class is that you can get familiar with the examination situation and skills quickly. But the basic knowledge of English is the most important, which is a painful and happy process.
6. Scholarships are hard to say. There are too many kinds. You'd better go to official website, an interested school. If there are fewer scholarships, you may also have the opportunity to apply for a teaching assistant in the school and solve some economic problems by getting the salary of the teaching assistant. In addition, the government of China and many schools in the United States have national public international student programs (for doctoral degrees). The schools studying abroad are free of tuition fees, and the government of China provides living expenses. For details, please refer to the website of the National Scholarship Fund Committee (note: undergraduate graduates can directly apply for doctoral studies in the United States, so again, they are determined to go abroad and have a good four-year record)
