In order to get the Offer from a famous school, the students exhausted all kinds of wonderful methods.

What is the academic ability of students, or what can reflect the applicant's application ability?

1) standardized test factors: TOEFL/IELTS, SAT

TOEFL is the language threshold for international students to apply for American universities. At present, many training institutions are promoting this exam, and everyone is getting familiar with it. I don't want to explain it any more. However, it should be reminded that students who are interested in studying in the United States must register in advance, because the TOEFL registration is extremely tight. SAT, commonly known as American College Entrance Examination, is recommended by students in American universities who aim at Top50. SAT is taken seven times a year, and there are no test sites in China, so it is difficult for foreign students to conquer a large number of words, especially the reading part. But at present, many students in Shanghai have prepared for this exam and achieved excellent results. What other conditions do they need to apply for American universities? Let's take a look at other measures that can reflect academic ability.

2) Academic background factors: high school reputation and high school performance.

When students from China poured into American universities, the United States was gradually measuring the teaching level of high schools in China. Recently, COMPULIFE Institute (college park, maryland) of the University of Maryland released a report entitled "Top 50 High Schools in China". According to the students' admission to the top five universities in China in the past five years, the students' overseas study, the evaluation from the dean and president of China University (and senior high school), and the teaching staff, etc. China senior high schools are analyzed. Although there are still some shortcomings in this ranking, and there are only more than 50 high schools in this ranking, the United States has gradually learned about high schools in China, so the reputation of high schools is still very important.

High school academic performance and high school academic performance have always been a controversial issue. Different high schools have their own grading systems and standards, but does the United States insist on GPA? This problem needs to be analyzed separately with each different applicant on the application conditions of American universities. Here, I just want to emphasize that the performance of high school is one of the very important factors for you to apply for a prestigious American school.

Creation of documents and materials

What is paperwork? Compared with other immigrant countries, the United States is the country with the most complicated and strict application materials. The application materials of American universities include: personal statement, resume, recommendation letter, composition and various application forms.

As the second largest part of the application, the document exists independently, so its composition for the application is not lower than the standardized examination of the academic part or the academic performance of the students. Personal statement is the most important in the application. In the United States, many students spend six months or even 65,438+0 years preparing their personal statements. After numerous revisions and improvements, some students directly request the help of the document system. If international students don't make this preparation, our application will look bleak. The document in the application is the only language expression part that can reflect your advantages. Without these words, your test scores and all honors will not be consistent, and you will not fully reflect the advantages of American university applicants. How do American universities admit you?

Extracurricular activities are indispensable.

In addition to the preparation of academic studies and application materials, students' extracurricular activities can highlight the applicant's personal charm and advantages, enrich the applicant's resume and truly reflect the applicant's personal characteristics. American universities don't like applicants who can only read. They need applicants who can really adapt to society and have a sense of community responsibility, and extracurricular activities are the best way to show whether applicants have these qualities.
