What should I do to go to the United States for graduate study?

Study abroad planning in the United States:

First, clear the goal and choose the school and major that suits you.

Many people say it is difficult to choose and the goal is clear. If they want a famous American school, school or major, they will look embarrassed! In fact, choosing a school is a very learned thing, and it is a systematic operation, not a random lottery.

Choosing a major is one of the careful considerations for many students after they decide to study abroad. They should not only consider the application difficulty, tuition fees, scholarships and other issues, but also combine their own interests and professional abilities and refer to the current employment situation before choosing a suitable major to study in the United States. In addition, we should also consider our own academic background. It will be more difficult to apply for cross-majors, and we need more preparation.

When choosing a school, you can make a table and list the universities you are interested in. The form should include the following categories: school name, city, major name, admission requirements, funding/scholarships, key deadlines, contact information and some preconditions. At the same time, you should consider whether to immigrate to the United States or return to work in the future.

If you want to stay in America after graduation, you need to strengthen your internship experience. Schools near big cities with high employment rate and better employment service will be your ideal choice. And if you want to go back to work after graduation, realistically speaking, a higher ranking may be a more suitable choice for you. Then, according to their own situation, we will continue to narrow the scope, and then refine the details of the schools in the table to determine the target schools.

After making a choice, you may not meet the requirements of the school for a while. Then in the following days, you need to work hard towards the goal, constantly improve your soft and hard strength, make yourself better, make yourself more in line with the standards and requirements of the school, and give them reasons for having to admit you.

Second, prepare the language and conquer the standardized test as soon as possible.

TOEFL/IELTS and GRE/GMAT are essential hard indicators for applying for graduate students in the United States and are the basic requirements for admission. In fact, you can start preparing now! First of all, you should check all the exam arrangements, plan your own exam time, how many times you plan to take the exam, and how many points you want to take. You should have a plan in mind.

Then there are memorizing words and brushing questions. TOEFL requires a high vocabulary. Maybe the word you are reciting is still in A, and the foundation is weak, but please stick to it. Rome was not built in a day. It is no problem for us to learn profound Chinese. We can definitely find our own unique cheats by memorizing English words and overcome the difficulties as soon as possible!

In addition, more and more American schools accept TOEFL and IELTS scores at the same time. Although some schools only accept TOEFL applications, there are so many schools in America. If you have studied IELTS before, don't worry too much. After all, IELTS has a stronger demand for English practical ability, and it is relatively easy to prepare for the exam by providing real English scenes for candidates. Except for words, you can't lag behind in listening, speaking, reading and writing, so you need to keep practicing!

Many people will ask, do you want to take GRE or GMAT? For this question, it depends on what major you want to apply for. GMAT is an entrance examination for American business schools. If you want to apply for MBA, finance, accounting, marketing, hotel management and other majors, you must be right to take GMAT. Most majors outside business schools mainly accept GRE, such as liberal arts majors such as education and media, as well as science and engineering majors such as chemistry and engineering. These majors mainly accept GRE.

When preparing a language, don't forget your usual academic study. Learning is everything. You should pay attention to forming good study habits and have certain requirements for yourself. I believe everyone can get good grades.

Third, enhance the background and shape yourself.

High marks are no longer an inevitable guarantee for applying for prestigious American universities. If you want to break through in the application army, you need to arrange more time to improve your soft power in all aspects and win the favor of famous universities with your true and powerful self after getting the ideal standardization results as soon as possible.

After determining the school, you will naturally understand what the admission requirements of famous American schools are, what kind of students you want, and what qualities and abilities you need to supplement. Everyone needs to make full use of the time in winter and summer vacations, pay attention to the combination of theory popularization and practice, choose suitable backstage promotion projects, and participate in internships, scientific research experiments, academic competitions, volunteer services and other activities. So as to gain personal growth, tap the potential of personality and continuously improve personal competitiveness.

Fourth, material preparation, polishing wonderful documents

Documents are a very important part for students applying for American graduate students. Besides grades, documents are a very important condition for an excellent applicant to show his abilities to the admission committee. Modifying and polishing documents is a long process, and when writing documents, it is important to describe yourself as a student who is suitable for applying for the project, rather than shaping yourself as a generalist.

In the document, you should only describe yourself to the admissions officer as a suitable student, instead of blindly exaggerating yourself, so that the admissions department can see the real you through the document. American schools pay more attention to what help you can bring to this major in this school.

Each school has its own special requirements for different majors. If you need to know more detailed application requirements of universities, you can check the successful cases of previous applications through the reference system for studying abroad, according to your own college background and achievements.
