According to the data of the Admissions Office of the University of Virginia, China students graduated from the University of Virginia and obtained their degrees from 1987. At present, there are about 300 registered alumni living and working in Chinese mainland. 1997, the University of Florida recorded the number of freshmen from Chinese mainland for the first time. In the past ten years, the number of graduates from excellent middle schools and universities in China has greatly increased. In the 2008-2009 academic year, there were 565,438+065,438+0 international students in Chinese mainland, including 265,438+04 undergraduates and nearly 300 postgraduates. Another 33 students are from Hong Kong. By the end of May this year, * * * 65 outstanding high school graduates from Chinese mainland will be freshmen of the University of Florida in the fall of 2009. It is estimated that there will be 70- 100 Chinese mainland graduate students enrolled at the same time (the final number needs to be confirmed because the enrollment of graduate schools has not yet ended). According to Mr. PhillipParkeMuth, Vice President of the University of Virginia, China has become the most important source of students for the University of Virginia outside the United States. The number of freshmen enrolled by the University of Virginia in China has far exceeded that of any other country, and it is expected to be more than twice that of the second-ranked Indian in 2009. China students' solid foundation and excellent academic performance are impressive. Take the average SAT scores of freshmen in China as an example. They are Mathematics 780, Physics 782, Mathematics (2) 800 and Chemistry 780 respectively, but the reading and writing parts are still slightly weak, with an average of less than 620. New TOEFL average 106. /zd/lx
