The trend of young students studying in the United States

With the economic strength of families in China becoming more and more developed, more and more students choose to study abroad, so the trend of younger students in China has become more and more obvious. So what kind of information is worth parents' attention? Let's take a look at the younger trend of studying in the United States.

Trend 1: the group of international students tends to be younger.

The number of students studying in the United States now is very different from that of ten years ago. 10 years ago, the population studying in the United States was mainly graduate students or above; In recent years, the growth rate of senior high school undergraduate students has gradually increased. According to statistics, since 2005, the number of China students studying in American high schools has increased by more than 65,438+000 times. It can be seen that studying in the United States has become younger and younger.

Moreover, global immigrants have learned that many parents want their children to get in touch with the English environment as soon as possible, so that their children can go to school in the United States from primary school, cultivate their language skills and receive American education.

Trend 2: The admission rate of famous American schools is declining.

According to the data of CNN, the admission rate of China students in the top universities in the United States has declined to varying degrees in recent years. Harvard University's 20 13 admission rate was 5.9%, a record low. The admission rate of Yale University is only 6.7%, Princeton University is 7.3%, and Columbia University is 6.8%. The decline in the admission rate of famous universities in the United States is related to the increase in the number of applicants from China. Therefore, more people choose to enter American schools from junior high school to senior high school to increase their competitiveness.

Trend 3: More language tests and wider choices.

With more and more students studying in the United States, American universities have also raised their admission requirements accordingly, most obviously in terms of language ability, but the recognized language tests are also increasing.

Trend 4: The level of middle school students in the United States has changed.

Before 20 10, the students who went to the United States to study in high schools mainly had poor academic performance and high family assets. However, judging from the applicants in recent years, the level of students in American middle schools has changed greatly. Instead of students with poor grades but rich family conditions in the old consciousness, they are mainly students with good family background, strong comprehensive ability and solid language foundation. With the improvement of the requirements for middle school entrance in the United States, the level of applicants is also improving year by year.
