1, education requirements
For international students from China, applying for undergraduate courses in the United States requires graduating from high school, and applying for graduate students in the United States requires graduating from China. When applying for graduate schools and majors in the United States, we should try our best to meet our personal career goals, academic qualifications, work experience and personal hobbies, and avoid blindly pursuing university rankings. But some special majors can also be considered for conversion. For example, students majoring in English in China can transfer to the United States to study MBA or education.
2. English requirements
When applying for graduate students in the United States, the requirements for English are different, but generally when applying for undergraduate courses, TOEFL score of 80 or 100 is required. However, some universities can provide dual admission courses for students who have no TOEFL scores, that is, they can provide dual admission for language and professional courses. Applying for graduate students in the United States requires not only a TOEFL score of 80 or above (some popular majors may need a TOEFL score of 85 or 100 or above), but also other related English scores, such as GRE scores in science and engineering, GMAT scores in liberal arts and mathematics, GMAT scores in business, DAT scores in dentistry, MCAT scores in medicine and LSAT scores in law. However, some American universities do not require GRE or GMAT scores for students applying for postgraduate courses.
3. Economic requirements
Due to the differences between schools and majors, the tuition fees of American universities vary greatly. Generally speaking, the annual tuition of public state universities is about $654.38+0.8 million-$654.38+0.8 million, while the annual tuition and accommodation fees of some excellent private universities are as high as $40,000 or more. The living expenses vary slightly according to different regions. Usually, in small towns in the south-central United States, the annual living expenses of $6,000 is enough, but for some big cities in California and new york, the annual living expenses of $65,438+$00,000 are not enough. The undergraduate course in American universities is generally four years, the master's degree is generally two to three years, and the doctor's degree is five to seven years. Therefore, students should provide sufficient financial guarantee when they get a visa to the embassy.
What are the requirements for graduate students to study in the United States? The following are the specific conditions for studying in the United States. Students can refer to it.
Mandatory conditions for studying in the United States
The conditions for graduate students to study in the United States are, first of all, the applicant's college grades. College grades are your GPA during college. GPA is very important in the application for studying in the United States. Of course, its importance cannot be generalized, but also depends on the comprehensive quality of the applicant. The better the comprehensive conditions, the lower the importance of GPA; Generally speaking, GPA is a magic weapon to knock on the door of famous schools. Strictly speaking, GPA is very important for applying for prestigious schools and scholarships. If the GPA is lower than 3.5, the application difficulty will be greatly increased. Of course, this is also related to applying for a major, and the importance of GPA for applying for a master's or doctoral degree is different. Generally speaking, applying for science requires a higher GPA than applying for liberal arts, and applying for a doctorate requires a higher GPA than applying for a master's degree.
Followed by language achievement. When going to the United States to study for graduate students, the language scores generally refer to the new TOEFL and IELTS, as well as the GRE of the American graduate entrance examination and the GMAT required by business schools. Of course, the law needs to be admitted to medical college and MCAT. Generally speaking, liberal arts majors have the highest requirements for TOEFL IELTS scores, while business majors have higher requirements for language scores, especially most business schools have certain requirements for speaking and writing, while science and engineering majors have relatively low requirements for language scores. In addition, for GRE and GMAT, GRE/GMAT scores are very important for most applicants, and high scores can easily attract the attention of the audit Committee. However, if you have many activities, internships, experimental experiences or special recommendation letters related to applying for a major, the importance of GRE can be relatively low.
Conditions for software to study in the United States
For the software requirements for graduate students to study in the United States, we will focus on the application documents. Generally speaking, a complete set of application documents includes resumes, personal statements, letters of recommendation, transcripts, academic degree certificates and other documents. Every year, many students with good conditions fail to apply to the ideal school. Experts studying abroad believe that the main reason may be that students fail to master the writing standards of clerical materials. Whether a set of documents is good or not lies not in moving people with fancy words, but in whether the article systematically and clearly describes your own efforts, highlighting what experiences can prove that you really want to study and have the ability to study your chosen major, and at the same time prove that you have the potential to do well in your professional field, so that the audit Committee can realize that you are the most qualified applicant. These are the keys to impress the IEC. These documents and materials are also the carriers that can best show the applicant's personality and many research experiences and internship backgrounds.
