Before applying for an American university, it is very important to know the school you want to apply for and whether your school is suitable for you.
Although you can choose multiple schools to apply for American universities, it does not mean that you can choose at will. If you just choose which school is famous, the final admission result may not satisfy you.
Why do you want to study here? What do you hope to get here? What is the difference between this school and other schools?
Secondly, remember to indicate the reason for choosing this school in your application and show your sincerity to the admissions officer.
What American college admissions officers want to see is: you know what you want to pursue, why this university is special to you, and how our school resources can help you achieve your goals.
2, details determine success or failure, learn to check.
Try to check your application well and don't make some mistakes because of carelessness. For example, we need to pay attention to the application deadline of each project.
In addition to the application for admission, each school will have many other projects, such as scholarship application. Once the application deadline has passed, the school can't hear it.
Start as early as possible, give yourself enough time and submit all the materials before the deadline.
3. What the admissions officer wants to see is not necessarily right. It's important to show yourself in an all-round way.
As admissions officers of American universities, students often ask: What part of the application do you value? What kind of prose do you want to read? What kind of grades are good? What club activities should be displayed?
In fact, the truth is: pay less attention to "what do you think we want to see" and pay more attention to "what do you want to show" Admissions officers in American universities know very well that not everyone can get the same opportunities, so they will not treat all students uniformly. In most cases, it doesn't depend on whether you have attended a specific course or a specific club. In fact, what I want to see is how you challenge yourself in the courses you master. I also want to know your passion and how you release it in school or community.
4. Don't be easily defeated by difficult problems. Please think twice before skipping the question.
In the process of applying for an American university, if some questions don't apply to you, then it's ok to leave them blank. But before you leave it blank, think about whether it is wise to fill in the answer.
For example, some students go to schools without counselors, so when they see the names and contact information of counselors, they will skip it directly. Are there any other teachers or school contacts to help you complete your application? Is there anyone in particular who will send us your information? If so, it will be more helpful to write down their names and contact information, so that we can contact them in case of problems.
Therefore, it is very important to check and make sure that you have not skipped any important parts.
Usually, if you miss any required questions, Common App won't let you go to the next step.
Remind again: when checking, make sure that the questions and answers correspond.
5. The success template is not suitable for anyone, and needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation.
There is no fixed model to ensure that you can enter your dream school. Every student should follow his passion and go his own way in the opportunities provided by school and society.
Of course, doing a good job of research, checking carefully, strictly observing the deadline and showing interest in the target school will make your application stand out to a great extent.
