In addition to the top world-class schools, most other schools also accept students who enroll in January and February. There are also some schools that offer rolling admissions. So you'll want to determine the enrollment schedule first.

Usually TOEFL scores are required to study in the US, but now most schools also recognize IELTS scores. In addition schools will ask for transcripts of the student's highest degree to account for GPA (grade point average in school).

College students generally do not have to take the SAT/ACT, which is known as the U.S. college entrance exam, but if they don't have a language score, they will have to go to the U.S. to take a language course first (not a college preparatory course). However, the good thing is that there are many American universities that offer dual enrollment, i.e., language + undergraduate/graduate. This means that students can start their undergraduate/graduate programs directly after completing the language course without having to take the TOEFL/IELTS test.

The first step is directly related to the entire application process is smooth, choose the school of error may have strong qualifications of people applying for a few years is still stranded in the country, on the contrary, the conditions are not superior to the people are invincible.

The cleanest way to choose a school is to use a ranking list. A specialty ranking and a general ranking are essential. Some people will say that rankings are not absolute, and that there are many, many other aspects to consider. But since Chinese students don't know much about American schools, starting with the rankings is definitely a shortcut.

When it comes to the importance of professional rankings and overall rankings, it's natural for people to have different opinions, but basically it should be both, with many people giving more weight to the overall rankings. In addition to the rankings, the year the university was founded, the number of faculty and students, the library collections, the university's publications and its outstanding programs are also very telling. In addition, it is important to understand the school's admission requirements, admission criteria, competition, and deadlines for applications, so that you can objectively estimate whether or not you meet the school's admission criteria and conditions, and whether or not you have a strong competitive edge. Depending on your personal situation, geography, and the level of consumption may also be factors to consider. Many universities also have specific requirements for the admission of foreign students. For example, many universities in the U.S. require applicants to pay an application fee, and a few religious schools prohibit students from smoking and drinking. So, be sure to think it through before you start contacting schools.

First, the way to choose a school

In Beijing, the following units have the "school introduction" that American institutions send to these units on a permanent basis: the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the State Education Commission, the Beijing Library, and the Cultural Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing (28th floor of the Jingguang Building). Major reference works include: American Universities and Colleges, Guide to Selecting Colleges, Handbook of American Colleges, Handbook of American College Costs, Blue Book of Colleges: Grants, Fellowships, and Scholarships Yearbook, Directory of Graduate Programs, Index of Materials, World Guide to American Colleges and Universities, Directory of U.S. College and University Faculty, Petersons Guide to Graduate Programs Yearbook, Guide to Studying in the U.S., Guide to the U.S., Guide to the U.S. Graduate Programs, and Guide to the U.S. Graduate Programs. , Guide to Studying in the United States, Comparative Guide to U.S. Colleges and Universities, Hab 85 Directory of Higher Education, Guide to U.S. Graduate Schools, Grants Available to Chinese Scholars and Chinese Students Willing to Come to the U.S. to Conduct Study and Research, Almanac of the World's Universities, Guide to U.S. M.B.A. Programs, and Almanac of U.S. Graduate Medical Education.

II. Factors to be Considered in Choosing a School

1. First of all, we should correctly estimate our own professional background ability, and choose a suitable school according to our actual situation.

2. Understand whether the teaching, research level and specialization of the selected school is similar to your own major and research, so as to avoid many troubles caused by the lack of professional matching.

3. Understand the school's admission requirements, admission standards, competition and application deadlines, and objectively estimate whether you meet the school's admission standards and conditions, and whether there is a strong competitive edge. Many U.S. universities have specific requirements for foreign students, and it is important to be aware of the different requirements of each school. For example, some schools require special GRE scores, and if you don't have a special test, you'll be at a disadvantage when applying.

4. Understand the school's various fees and financial aid, i.e., whether your financial situation is able to pay for your study and living expenses at the school. At the same time, pay attention to the conditions and requirements for applying for financial aid in order to gauge your own strengths. Without a full award, admission is meaningless for many Chinese students.

5. You should also pay attention to the climate, customs and habits of the location of the school to see if you can adapt.

Third, the method of screening schools

First of all, the first screening of information sources. The first thing you need to do is to look for good and bad schools, and make a list of them, and select the ones that may have awards for international students. Copy down the E-MAIL address of each school and send E-MAIL for information. After you get the information, read it carefully and select schools one by one. Any school that says no to scholarships for international students in their "first year" will be thrown into the trash can. Take the electronic information engineering program as an example, there are many different directions within the program, so it is important to choose what direction you want to apply to each school, because each school is strong in that direction. Generally speaking, it is better to apply for the direction that is the stronger direction of this school, so that there are more professors and more students, so there is a better chance. You can also go to the school's Web site to take a look, searching for a leisure country students, if the number of people, often indicate that Chinese students get the award hope.

How to choose your major?

There are three to four thousand universities in the United States, and many of them have a full range of faculties. With so many choices, you must have some confusion while you are happy. The first thing you need to do is to choose what kind of program you want to study. Is the original foundation on the next level, or open up new horizons?

Specialization

Choosing a major depends on your own interests, of course, but you should also look at the job market prospects. For example, if you want to apply for a PhD in chemistry, you should be aware that the current job opportunities in academia and industry are quite narrow. You would be better off pursuing a program that has something to do with biomedicine and the environment, as these two areas seem to have good prospects.

Your supervisor, your department

When you have completed your degree, you will join a professional society, whether it is in academia, clinical practice or in business. Each professional society is its own little world, made up with notable figures, schools of thought, with networks of people you have come into contact with and met. Your mentor will bring you into this world and his/her fame will influence you. When you start your career, you will be treated as "a student of Professor So-and-So", and you may be able to get your first job in or out of academia very quickly because of your mentor.

The same goes for your department. Many departments focus their research and teaching on a smaller area, and particular scholarly ideas and approaches characterize the department. As you move forward in your career, you will be recognized as "one of the honored ones".
