1. American universities have the evaluation data of every high school in the United States to identify the scores of high schools, and also serve as a reference for students' scores together with SAT and AP/SAT2 scores. But for foreign high schools, this information has only been established in recent years, so unless it is a well-known domestic high school or a first-class international school, it is difficult to achieve the gateball effect, unless the first-class achievements of most domestic high schools are set off by the achievements of American high schools. Therefore, if you can graduate from an American high school, it will definitely help your application.
If you want to be an exchange student, it's better to come early than late. There must be a lot of unaccustomed to living and studying in the United States, which may affect your studies and grades. In addition, English listening may not keep up, and the degree of understanding in class will definitely be affected. If you can't fully understand the exam questions, it's no use even if you are good at math and physics. The evaluation of college entrance examination in the United States also depends on the trend of students' grades. Of course, it is best to be perfect from beginning to end, but a little better in the front is much better than a little better in the back. Even if you stumble at first, there is still a chance to catch up later. If you stumble late, you won't have time to catch up and suffer a lot.
3. The admission principle of the first-class universities in the United States is actually very simple: he should ensure that students have enough ability to succeed in both individual study and group activities after being admitted. So students' consistency and persistence may be more important than a string of numbers. Therefore, these schools not only require applicants to get excellent grades, but also require students to participate in extracurricular activities. These extracurricular activities include all activities, such as sports, music, club activities, editing the school magazine, but equally important is community service. The performance of the two may not need to be top-notch, but it definitely needs time to accumulate, unlike the roll call, how many hours are counted. And the biggest taboo is that there are many activities in the East and the West, but everything is so-so. Because it proves that students have no perseverance and can't bear hardships. Not only did it not add points, but it deducted more points. Once an exchange student enters school, it is best not to transfer to another school, so that there is a better chance to accumulate the results of the activity.
First-class universities in America attach great importance to students' personal statements and papers. The contents of these compositions are varied, but a considerable part of them are related to life experiences or extracurricular activities. The earlier you come to America, the more experience you have, and the easier it is to play. Some private schools even have interviews, and stuttering English is hard to like.
5. American high school students apply for universities from summer vacation in Grade Two to Grade Three (not counting SAT time). Ivy's early action/early decision usually ends in 10, and the general admission of most schools ends in 12/3 1 at the latest. So when I was in the third year of high school, everything was mixed up, which was equivalent to hitting my own feet.
6. It doesn't matter how good the grades of American high schools 12 are. Getting a straight A won't help admission (getting a straight C or a straight D will disqualify you). Be sure to get everything ready before 1 1.
There are many successful cases of applying directly to American universities in China, but the chances of exchange students graduating in the United States are much greater. For local students, it is of course beneficial to have the right time, the right place and the right people and know the rules of the game. However, after the students came to the United States, they still lived in their own small circle with dark eyes. It doesn't matter whether they come to America or not. Therefore, the principle of applying for exchange students is simple: first, if other conditions (family, money) are not a problem, the earlier you apply, the worse it will be. Second, once you come, don't wander around and stay in a high school until graduation. Study hard at school, take part in more activities after class and make more friends. The most important thing is not to mix with a large group of China people, which will delay your integration into the United States.
