I want to continue my studies after immigrating to the United States.

First, let’s talk about the pros and cons of going to a community college. The advantage is that you save money. If you apply for university in China, you can only apply as an international student. If you go to the United States to study at a community college first, then get a green card and then transfer to a university, you can study as a domestic student. The difference in money is quite large. Moreover, community colleges teach in small classes, with about 20 or 30 people in a class, unlike comprehensive universities where hundreds of people attend classes in the auditorium.

Of course, if your family is not short of money, there is no need to consider community college. The disadvantage of community college is that students have different levels, and the teacher's progress can easily be slowed down by a few idiots. There are not as many activities as comprehensive universities, and many community colleges do not have on-campus dormitories.

============================================== =====

You don’t need to go to community college. You have already been in college for two years. If you apply to transfer to a regular university, if there is no credit system, just tell the teacher that you have completed it on your transcript. Proof of the course, whether it is passed or not, and credits will be calculated according to the procedures of American universities after taking a course. Credit hours prove how many courses you have taken. It is just a number. You can prepare to apply for college in the first semester of your sophomore year. The application procedures are the same as those for transfer students. You can study in the United States for your junior year. The worst case scenario is that you will not take enough courses in China, and you may be busy in the next two years.

The safest way is to go to the website of your favorite university and send an email to the admissions office to ask. The situation at each American university is different, just in case.

============================================== ======

If you want to study from the freshman year, you need SAT. SAT is not a graduation test, but a college entrance test. You need two credits of SAT and TOEFL. Try to do well on the SAT. It doesn't matter if you don't do well on the TOEFL. You can take ESL English.

You didn’t say how old you are now. I don’t know how much time you have to prepare. But if you prepare now, it is too late to enroll in the fall of 2009. It is too late for both freshmen and transfer students. It is recommended. If you apply for spring admission in 2010, the SAT preparation time will still depend on your English foundation. I can't say for sure. There are official SAT review books, "The Official SAT Study Guide", a pure English review book. If your English foundation is not good, there are many SAT cram schools in China, you can try it.

The SAT test is not China’s college entrance examination. There is no clear admission score. Moreover, for international students, schools will naturally lower their emphasis on the SAT. When good universities admit students, the SAT is not the first factor they review. However, Chinese students don't have many extracurricular activities and can only rely on the SAT to improve their scores. If you want to get into a similar university, the SAT with a full score of 2400 should be 1800 or above.

============================================== ======

As for the procedures, first take the SAT and TOEFL, then fill out the application form, go to the domestic school to ask for transcripts, teacher recommendation letters, etc. and send them to American universities. As an international student You may need proof of property, and then you can apply for a visa when notified
