1, it is necessary to meet the language requirements, and the corresponding standardized tests such as GRE American Graduate Entrance Examination, SAT American College Entrance Examination, etc. );
2. Need general materials such as recommendation letter from tutor and personal introduction;
3, proof of property, if you get a scholarship, you can use a scholarship certificate instead;
4. Special requirements of the school. Some majors in different departments may have specific requirements, such as whether there are enough credits for specialized courses.
Second, the students' own ability?
1, what is independence?
Studying abroad needs to deal with many things independently, sometimes even emergencies. The independence mentioned here is not only as simple as eating and dressing, but also involves socializing, getting along with teachers, choosing courses, planning for further studies and even managing money. The negative news about international students often seen in the media is often caused by students' lack of the above-mentioned ability, while those who study abroad successfully are largely due to their better handling of the above-mentioned problems. Therefore, we should consciously strengthen the ability training of independent thinking and independent problem solving before studying abroad.
2. What is language ability?
Of course, studying abroad requires good language skills, otherwise it will be difficult to complete your studies, let alone succeed in studying abroad. Are there any measures? Of course, it is not only TOEFL or IELTS that get high marks, but foreign language ability close to the level of mother tongue is the goal that foreign students should pursue.
On the question of language ability, some parents and students still have a misunderstanding that it is easy to improve when they go abroad and the language environment is good. This idea is wrong and violates the law of foreign language learning. A foreign language is not a mother tongue and cannot be acquired naturally, but it can be acquired gradually through scientific training and hard study. A large part of the so-called "study abroad garbage" is planted in the language, because they can't understand the class, can't communicate with teachers and classmates, can't finish their homework, and it's difficult to pass the exam, which leads to a situation of being tired of learning and poor academic performance step by step. It is suggested that students should prepare for the language as well as possible before studying abroad, including exams and ability training.
3. What is learning ability or academic ability?
For China students who are used to passive learning and exam-oriented teaching mode, the foreign teaching mode with autonomous learning, active thinking, inspiration and questioning as the main ways is relatively unfamiliar. It's one thing to hear about this model, but it's another to really adapt. Especially for those students who want to go to a prestigious school or pursue a postgraduate degree or above, the real learning ability and academic ability are not only reflected in the transcripts you submit to the school.
4. Whether the economic conditions are sufficient.
There is a great difference in economic ability between the international students in the past ten years and the older generation of international students. Nowadays, most international students have good financial conditions, and few of them are refused visas because they can't actually pay for studying abroad, or they break the law or fail the exam because they work to earn money during their study abroad.
However, there are still a few parents and students who want to blindly consider studying abroad at their own expense without sufficient financial ability. The study tasks during studying abroad are very heavy, and the chances of applying for scholarships are very small. If you try to earn tuition and living expenses by working, it is unrealistic. As the saying goes, "You can't have your cake and eat it." You should not only study the effect, but also squeeze out your study time to work. The pressure is too great to achieve.
