What are the requirements for studying in the United States?

The quality of education in the United States is very high, so many people choose to study in the United States for further study. So how can we successfully study in the United States? I sorted out the requirements for studying in the United States. Let's take a look together.

I. Requirements

1. Education

If you want to study in the United States, you must first have a degree. For China students, if they want to apply for undergraduate courses in American universities, they must at least graduate from high school. It is conceivable that to apply for a master's degree, you must have a bachelor's degree. Therefore, academic qualifications ensure the basic learning order and learning ability.

2. Language conditions

Secondly, it must be a requirement of oral English. To study in a country, you must know its language. If your spoken English is not good enough, you can't talk about learning. Even the most basic communication is a problem. What is there to talk about learning?

In American universities, students need to provide English scores when submitting applications for studying abroad. The basic requirement is that the TOEFL score of undergraduate course is not less than 500 points. Undergraduate students are required to have a TOEFL score of 500 or above, and graduate students are required to have a TOEFL score of 550 or above; In addition, other standardized test scores should be provided, such as GRE scores of science, engineering and mathematics, GMAT scores of business majors, lsat scores of applying for law majors, and MCAT scores of medical majors.

However, not all schools need to provide it. Some American universities do not require GRE or GMAT scores for international students applying for postgraduate courses. But excellent English scores can help students apply for scholarships at different levels.

3. Visa conditions.

The visa requirements for studying in the United States are also very high. In addition to having a good academic and professional background, it is also an important factor to see if you have won a scholarship. If you have the opportunity to get a scholarship from an American university, you can greatly increase the possibility of getting a visa.

Another point is that the visa officer of the American consulate will assume that every international student who applies has an immigration tendency, so they will constantly set various traps during the interview, and some students may be transferred to this trap if they are not careful. Therefore, every international student must have a complete plan for returning to China, otherwise the visa officer will not easily approve your application.

5. Resume

The resume of applying for middle school in America is different from our usual resume. Although the record is also a resume, it is not a running account. In your resume, you should highlight your growth process, let yourself see yesterday and today of this growth process and reasonably foresee the future.

Resumes let the school admissions teachers see not only yesterday's achievements, but also the development of the school, which is the key. Eight: School Interview

American high school applications basically require interviews. Interviews are generally divided into on-site interviews, telephone interviews and video interviews; There is also a third-party interview. On-site interview usually takes about 1 hour. At present, most of them are telephone and video interviews, which usually take 20-30 minutes. The school evaluates students' comprehensive ability through interviews. Our company will give students three mock interviews before the interview.

6. Family financial resources

Parents need to provide proof of deposit in the bank to guarantee the tuition of students studying in American middle schools. The original deposit certificate is required, and all major banks can do it. Generally speaking, we suggest that the family deposit certificate for going to high school in the United States is about RMB 6,543,800+0,000.

7. passport preparation:

Students need to get their passports in advance before applying. You need to provide a scanned student passport to the school when applying.

The cost of studying in high school in the United States is about 600- 1 10,000, depending on the school you attend, the types of schools are different and the charging standards are different.

Please don't read too much about the reminders of studying abroad reminded by the Ministry of Education. The high rate of visa refusal for studying abroad is mainly students and sensitive experts who study abroad at public expense, which has little effect on studying abroad at their own expense, especially when they go to middle schools in the United States, and the visa review has become a little stricter.

8. Activity experience: American extracurricular activities are very important and can be used to judge students' leadership and teamwork ability; It would be better if you have won international awards or made outstanding inventions.

It can be seen that American colleges and universities also attach great importance to students' academic performance and academic qualifications, but unlike domestic ones, many schools also look at the activities that applicants have participated in; Having experience in activities or winning prizes is also beneficial to the application.

Second, the accommodation conditions

1. Student dormitory

Most of the student dormitories are newcomers, including single rooms, double rooms and quadruple rooms. In terms of price, single rooms are the most expensive, followed by double rooms and quadruple rooms. Generally, students' dormitories are near the school, with convenient transportation and life, supervised by security personnel and good safety. It is suggested that students choose dormitory in the first year, which is economical and cost-effective.

2. Apartment-apartment.

Apartment buildings are similar to those in our country, but the difference is that American apartments are made of wood, and the height will not exceed five stories (take California as an example). Apartments in the United States are similar to residential areas in China, and residential areas with property management are the model. The comfort is very high, and the community comes standard with swimming pool, gym and casino. Independence is also better than student dormitory, which is generally divided into one bedroom, two bedrooms and three bedrooms. The price is slightly higher than the student dormitory, and the price range is 1500 USD to 3000 USD. Suitable for students who have been in the United States for more than two years or have good independence.

3. Independent villas

As the name implies, a big house with a detached structure will have a swimming pool and a backyard (some don't). Generally, there are at least 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, separate living room and kitchen. The price starts at $3,000, and the bigger the price, the more expensive it is. Generally, private rental must require international students to provide ssn (American Social Code).

Usually, the students who choose the house are all 4.5 people sharing the house and sharing it equally. It's a good deal to split it equally. Per capita is about 700 per month. However, H also has some troubles. Later, you should worry about your own maintenance, and the lawn should be maintained frequently. However, the comfort of the house is really high, suitable for small groups to live in.

Third, the advantages of studying abroad.

1. There are many top universities:
