How do college students apply for universities when they immigrate to the United States?

The United States is the most developed country in education in the world, with a large number of world famous schools. The academic system of higher education is mainly divided into two-year system and four-year system. Most of the two-year programs are technical colleges and community colleges, while the regular four-year schools are mainly liberal arts colleges, independent professional colleges and comprehensive universities, which represent the highest level of scientific research and teaching in the United States and are also the main institutions for China students to apply.

American universities are better equipped to recruit international students because of their better education level and quality. At the same time, for college students of different grades, the requirements for applying for studying in the United States are also different. Therefore, experts remind students to pay great attention to timing.

Freshman needs to be reread. For freshmen, the basic courses for China students are mostly Marxist philosophy, English and so on. Due to different academic systems, American universities generally do not recognize these credits. Therefore, if they want to transfer to an American university, they should be prepared to repeat their studies from the first year.

Sophomore students choose their major, but for sophomores, some courses, such as mathematics, are recognized by some American universities. Therefore, it is best for students to choose a major consistent with their original study during the transfer process, so that there will be fewer courses to repeat and learning will be relatively easier. In the process of transferring credits, students should also pay attention to the fact that due to the different requirements and emphases of professional curriculum education in China and the United States, it is relatively easy to transfer to a branch of a non-professional curriculum, such as business; However, it is more difficult for architecture, biology, engineering, psychology and other majors to transfer credits. At the same time, note that the chances of applying for American university scholarships after transferring credits will be smaller.

Senior students had better study for a master's degree. If you are a junior or senior student in China, it is generally not recommended to go to the United States to study for a master's degree by transferring credits. It is best to wait until you finish your undergraduate course before going abroad to study for a master's degree. Because visa officers will question your purpose of studying abroad when you apply for a visa, in the view of most visa officers, it is more suitable for the development of students at this stage to apply for a master's program in the United States after completing undergraduate studies in China.

For the current junior students, if they plan to study abroad, they should pay more attention to some information about studying abroad, expand their knowledge as much as possible, participate in more social activities and make good preparations for language on the premise of learning their major well. For the senior students who will graduate next year, because the best application time for American universities needs to be one year in advance, they can start preparing for the application now.

Graduate students are fully prepared for employment. Although the choice of majors is getting wider and wider, overseas experts suggest that undergraduate graduates applying for foreign master's degree should not give up their majors easily, and it is best to continue their original domestic university majors as far as possible, so that they will have a greater grasp of applying for prestigious schools, and at the same time, because of their solid professional basic knowledge, they will not be very laborious in the learning process. Generally, after finishing a master's degree in the United States and finding a corresponding job, you can apply for a work visa for one year or more, and you can apply for permanent residence or immigration after working for a certain number of years. Therefore, students who want to stay in the United States after graduation can choose some majors that are conducive to residence or immigration at the beginning of applying for majors.
