First, Stanford University graduate application requirements
(1) Basic application requirements
1. Education requirements: Generally, the applicant is required to be a student who has graduated from a regular four-year undergraduate university recognized by China and obtained the corresponding bachelor's degree certificate.
2. Language requirements: Some majors in this school do not accept IELTS scores, but only recognize TOEFL scores. In addition to engineering majors, graduate students in other fields generally require the TOEFL score of applicants to be above 100 (no single requirement), but the master of engineering also requires the TOEFL score of applicants to be no less than 89.
3. Achievement requirements: Generally speaking, the GPA requirements of students applying for a master's degree are between 3.0 and 4.0. GRE scores are required for all majors in this school.
(2) Specific application requirements for some majors.
1, statistics
The specific requirements are TOEFL score 100 or above, GRE (the average score of GRE reading is above 83%, the average score of mathematics is above 9 1%, and the average score of writing is above 52%).
2. Ecology and environment
Like statistics, the specific requirements are TOEFL score 100 or above, GRE (the average score of GRE reading is above 83%, the average score of mathematics is above 9 1%, and the average score of writing is above 52%).
3. Communication research
The conditions are the same as the first two, that is, the TOEFL score should be above 100, and the GRE (the average score of GRE reading is above 83%, the average score of mathematics is above 9 1%, and the average score of writing is above 52%).
4. Enterprise management
TOEFL 100 or above. Or IELTS is above 7, and GMAT requires a total score of above 732.
5. Finance
The TOEFL score is at least 1 13, and the GRE (the average score of GRE reading is over 83%, the average score of mathematics is over 9 1%, and the average score of writing is over 52%).
6. Aerospace engineering
TOEFL score at least 89, GRE (GRE reading average above 83%, mathematics average above 9 1%, writing average above 52%).
7. Bioengineering
TOEFL score above 89, GRE (GRE reading average score above 83%, mathematics average score above 9 1%, writing average score above 52%).
8, chemical engineering
TOEFL score above 89, GRE (GRE reading average score above 83%, mathematics average score above 9 1%, writing average score above 52%).
9. Atmospheric and energy science
TOEFL score above 89, GRE (GRE reading average score above 83%, mathematics average score above 9 1%, writing average score above 52%).
10, Computing and Mathematical Engineering
TOEFL score 1 13 or above, GRE (GRE reading average is over 83%, mathematics average is over 9 1%, and writing average is over 52%).
1 1, energy engineering
TOEFL 100 or above, GRE (the average score of GRE reading is above 83%, the average score of mathematics is above 9 1%, and the average score of writing is above 52%).
Second, the influencing factors of Stanford University application
1. The easiest way to apply for Stanford is to go to the United States and Canada to study for an undergraduate or master's degree early.
In particular, information technology is becoming more and more popular, and Stanford has higher and higher requirements for this major. Not a top universITy in China, it is very difficult to get an offer for IT graduate students from Stanford, let alone get a full prize. But if you go to the United States or Canada to study undergraduate courses, the opportunities will increase a lot. If you are not limited to computer science, master students have the opportunity to get scholarships. If you are a student studying in a top university in China, your undergraduate grade should generally be around 1%~2%.
2. Language achievement
TOEFL 105 or above, preferably 1 10. Many students under 1 10 need to take English classes at school after entering school. Through the school English test, we can see that the school has a certain recognition of TOEFL 1 10. In addition, if you are applying for a doctoral degree (Stanford's doctoral scholarship is one of the highest in the United States, and many of them can start with 3k after tax, crushing major state universities and competing with some Nordic countries), TA is a relatively easy scholarship to win, but TA has certain requirements for oral English, so it will be of great help to TOEFL oral English. GRE is better than 325, and there is a chance between 320 and 325.
3. Scientific research experience
If you must apply for a scholarship, you'd better not expect a master's degree. It is much more likely to get a scholarship by studying for a PhD. IT is much more likely to apply for a master's degree in IT from a good American school first, and then take a full prize to study for a doctorate. And scientific research is the most important ability of a doctor. Whether you are studying for a master's degree at home or abroad, you should actively participate in scientific research projects.
Participating in research projects has two objectives:
1) into a professional scientific research thinking. In this way, when you write a project with PS or have the opportunity to communicate with foreign professors, you can express the most brilliant place of your project in just 4.5 sentences, which will make the professors shine and let you join the research group.
2) Send papers. Stanford is not the kind of school that particularly pursues papers, which is why I rank it after scientific research thinking. However, if you have a good publishing list, it will definitely make the tutor shine. No professor hates students with too many papers.
4. Extracurricular practice
This thing is more professional. For general science and engineering majors, it will be useful to apply for a master's degree, but the master's degree is basically not granted. If you are applying for a doctorate, proper extracurricular practice will be icing on the cake. If it is a social science, it depends on the specific situation.
