For example, I study biological science, and this major belongs to scientific research. The United States recruits many doctoral students every year, most of them are full scholarships, and Americans themselves are unwilling to study, so they recruit more students.
In short, if you are a scientific research major, you are more likely to apply for a direct blog, which has nothing to do with your GRE and TOEFL scores;
American schools are also divided into three grades, six grades and nine grades. Generally, your score is definitely enough, but for an Ivy League school, it is obviously not enough. You can look at the enrollment requirements of your favorite schools, many of which have specific score requirements. For example, when I applied for Yale, I required not only the GRE total score, but also a certain composition score. The TOEFL score was 1 10.
These are the minimum standards, and most applicants exceed this score.
But I have applied for 15 American colleges and universities. The success of applying for direct blog in the United States depends on your scientific research achievements and professional direction. GRE and TOEFL are just stepping stones, and they will not be considered after passing the examination line.
Secondly, the success of direct blog is related to whether the laboratory tutor you want to go to has research funds and vacancies, so you need to write an email in advance to confirm the other party's enrollment intention, and you can increase your admission probability during the chat.
And the year of admission, for the same reason as in the previous paragraph. If a tutor has recruited many doctoral students this year, there is no need to recruit more people, so fewer people will be admitted in the second year.
In this respect, you can refer to the admission situation of your school's previous seniors and sisters, avoid the laboratory that enrolled a lot of students last year, and choose a better school where our seniors and sisters are mixed. Because the other school also has prejudice against students, for example, he recruited a Peking University student last year and felt very good, so he may be more inclined to continue to recruit another Peking University student. On the contrary, if your senior schoolmate has a bad brain, you'd better not invest in this school and waste money.
I hope my above experience can help you, and I wish you an ideal university ~
