What are the requirements for studying in the United States?

Four basic conditions for applying for an American school:

1, education requirements

For international students from China, they need to graduate from high school to apply for undergraduate courses in the United States, and graduate from China with a bachelor's degree to apply for master's courses. When applying for schools and majors, we should try our best to meet our personal career goals, academic qualifications, work experience and personal hobbies, and avoid blindly pursuing university rankings. But some special majors can also be considered for conversion. For example, students majoring in English in China can transfer to the United States to study MBA or education.

2. English requirements

American universities have different requirements for English when applying, but generally require TOEFL scores of 80 or above when applying for undergraduate courses. However, some universities can offer dual admission courses for students who have no TOEFL scores, that is, they offer dual admission for language and professional courses. Graduate students not only require TOEFL scores above 85 (some popular majors may require TOEFL scores above 90), but also need to provide other related English scores, such as GRE scores for science and engineering, liberal arts and mathematics, GMAT scores for business majors, DAT scores for dentistry majors, MCAT scores for medical majors, LSAT scores for law majors, etc. However, some American universities do not require GRE or GMAT scores for students applying for postgraduate courses.

3. Economic requirements

Due to the differences between schools and majors, the tuition fees of American universities vary greatly. Generally speaking, the annual tuition fee of public state universities is about $65,438+$00,000-$20,000, while the annual tuition and accommodation fees of some excellent private universities are as high as $45,000 or more. The living expenses vary slightly according to different regions. Usually, in small towns in the south-central United States, the annual living expenses of $6,000 is enough, but for some big cities in California and new york, the annual living expenses of $65,438+$00,000 are not enough. The undergraduate course in American universities is generally four years, the master's degree is generally two to three years, and the doctor's degree is five to seven years. Therefore, students should provide sufficient financial guarantee when they get a visa to the embassy.

Step 4 return to the plan

The visa officer of the American consulate will assume that every student who applies has an immigration tendency, so he will constantly set various traps during the interview process, and some students will fall into such traps when they are not paying attention. Therefore, students should have a complete plan to return to China. First of all, students should determine their career goals and what kind of work they want to do in the future. It is the work you will do when you return to China in the future. Secondly, in order to do what you like in the future, the skills you lack at present are the courses you want to study abroad. When you understand this truth, the plan to return to China will come to the bottom.
