The first coefficient: a famous private university with convenient transportation. The higher the ranking of general colleges and universities, the higher the training fees, and the higher the fees of private universities. In big cities like new york, Boston, Los Angeles and new york, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation is much higher than that of ordinary big cities.
The training fee of such colleges and universities is about $55,000, and the living expenses are about $25,000, totaling $80,000/year, which is increasing at the rate of 10% every year. The five-year fee for such universities is: 80,000+88,000+96,800+106480+1128 = 488,408 USD, totaling RMB 3 million.
The second coefficient: private elite schools or public elite schools (such as UCB and UCLA). It is located in the eastern, central and western coastal areas that China people like. The annual training fee and living expenses of such universities are about $65,000, and the five-year expenses are $65,000+71500+78,650+86515+96166.5 = 32,5331.5, totaling $200.
The third coefficient: ordinary public schools. The annual training fee and living expenses of such universities are about 50,000 USD, and the five-year expenses are 50,000+55,000+60,500+66,550 USD+73,205 = 244,755 USD, totaling 6,543,800 RMB.
In addition to the above levels, universities with lower training fees and living expenses do not look at the comprehensive ranking. In this way, the training fee and living expenses can be $25,000 per year, and the annual fee for five years is about 1.25 million, totaling 800,000 RMB. Maybe this choice is not popular.
In fact, applying for undergraduate courses in American universities is also a lot of cost-effective methods. For example, you can apply for financial aid. The prerequisite of this scholarship is for students with financial difficulties at home, and the students' main achievements must be excellent. However, for the vast majority of British universities, applying for such scholarships by League of Nations students will greatly reduce the probability of being admitted. It is not easy to reduce the probability of admission, but only Harvard, Yale, Princeton and MIT are the four strongest universities. So generally speaking, if the applicant is not super strong and still wants to get a scholarship, or even to put it bluntly, FULL RIDE (the university allows you to support all training fees and living expenses) proposes to lower the overall target institution ranking.
In terms of scholarships, British universities are much more selfless than those in the United States, the United States and Canada. If there are good enough standards and appropriate school selection strategies, some wealthy small-scale private universities in Britain still have a good chance to get a lot of money.
On the other hand, some universities are also academic scholarships. Generally, you don't need to apply for such academic scholarships, but the number of places is very small, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
For the students of the League of Nations, they can earn money by working in university hotels or laboratories on campus, thus alleviating the pressure of working funds. The United Kingdom does not allow students of the League of Nations to work outside the school to make money, but there are many opportunities to work inside the school to make money, and the American undergraduate course is too heavy. If you spend too much time working to make money, it will endanger your course work. Therefore, if you want to study in a famous foreign university, you must prepare at least RMB 654.38+0.55 million to RMB 3 million in advance during your study abroad.
So, is this a lot of money enough? In fact, it is not enough, because there are no assets ready to study in the United States! Judging from the natural environment of applying now, if you want to enter the top universities in the United States, you must be prepared in advance from the age of 9 (grade three), and the necessary expenses will include:
1, homework is prepared in advance. Generally speaking, you must study in Gaomei for 3-4 years or the course content of the League of Nations, among which Gaomei must also be 1.55 million to 300 RMB for 4 years. If we study the contents of the national league courses in China, the training fee of IB is generally the highest, and the training fee of UWC is about 300,000 per year. If you get it in three years, it will definitely exceed the cost of 654.38+0 million.
If you want to enter the top universities in America, you can't save such a large sum of money. It is suggested that it is best not to change classes at the age of 10 or 1 1 0, or to study in IB immediately in the first year, including choosing gaopu. Now the probability that Gopp wants to apply to the top universities in the United States has dropped sharply. Therefore, at the level of preparation in advance, it is planned to prepare four years in advance, and the cost is about 6,543,800 yuan.
2. Examination questions training fee. Top universities in the United States must have TOEFL, SAT or ACT, SAT2 or AP test scores, and the vast majority of China students must guide and train their students independently. These training courses are not included in the curriculum of American high schools or international leagues. There is no way to accurately calculate this cost. According to people's experience, parents must embed 6.5438 yuan +0.5 million yuan.
3. Consulting fees for studying abroad. The market competition of undergraduate application in the United States is becoming more and more fierce, and the whole application process is becoming more and more complicated. On the other hand, applying for studying abroad is like kicking down the bridge. There are undercurrents and rapids in it. If you don't want to get caught up in it, you must have experienced consultants and institutions with high aspect ratio and careful mentality to help. The consultant of the entrance examination and the instructor of the new curriculum content of the League of Nations cannot consider the humanized requirements of students. It is very difficult to apply for DIY in top universities in the United States, and most students will hire extra study abroad institutions or entrance examination consultants. The cost of services provided by different consultants and institutions varies greatly, ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions, with an average cost of RMB 654.38+million.
4. The cost of the background picture theme activity. When the top universities in the United States enroll students, they should not only look at the coursework and examination questions, but also look at students' extracurricular activities. However, the management system of culture and education in China is incompatible, so they must go abroad to help students find some suitable extracurricular activities for students to sign up, such as summer school, scientific research activities or competitions. Such theme activities cost money, with an average cost of about 6.5438+0.5 million RMB.
Therefore, if you want to apply for the top universities in the UK, the average cost of preparation in advance must be about 6.5438+0.5 million RMB, and the cost of studying abroad in the future must be 3-5 million RMB in total. This large sum of money must be about half a suite in Nanjing, Shanghai or Shenzhen, and it must be one or two suites in other big cities.
For those parents in China who can only have one child and do whatever it takes to educate their children, although this large sum of money is not a small sum, when it is best to sell half a house or a house, a large number of parents will choose to send their children abroad to study in colleges and universities. Therefore, the application from the top universities in Britain will become more and more fierce!
