Go abroad for postgraduate study.

1. In the United States, all colleges and universities enroll graduate students independently, so you must apply separately according to the different requirements of different schools. Suppose you want to enter a business school for an MBA, you have to consider the school's grade, geographical location, tuition fees, curriculum and so on according to your own needs. This information can be obtained through the Internet. If you want further information, you can also communicate with the teachers and students of the business school you want to apply for by email and telephone. Different universities and graduate schools may have different standards when recruiting graduate students. Some universities may especially like to recruit students with good grades, while others may think it more important to take part in extracurricular activities or previous work experience. Ordinary people often apply for 8- 10 universities in order to increase their admission opportunities. If you are interested in the business administration major of a business school and have done well during your undergraduate course, you can apply for one or two business schools that are among the best in the financial field in the United States, but considering the fierce competition, you can also apply for several second-rate or even third-rate business schools respectively.

After you get the information, you will start the complicated application steps. The first is to prepare personal basic information, including undergraduate grades, postgraduate entrance examination results, what extracurricular activities you participated in during college, whether you have work experience, and how many foreign languages you know. Among these information, passing the postgraduate entrance examination is the most important, because the topics of this exam are unified throughout the country, including reading, analysis, mathematics and writing. With this achievement, the admissions committee can evaluate whether you can become their student.

■ How to recommend yourself?

In the application process, there are several aspects that you need to pay attention to: the first is the time of application. The graduate schools of all universities will indicate the application deadline on the sent application forms. Generally speaking, the more prestigious and competitive a school is, the earlier it will be required to submit an application. If you want to enroll in the fall of 200 1, some famous schools will probably ask you to submit your application on 2001or 15. In contrast, general state universities and comprehensive universities are not so strict, and some even accept applications in May and June. The second is how to find someone to write a letter of recommendation and how to write a short article introducing your own characteristics. The contents of the letter of recommendation mainly involve the applicant's academic ability, work ability and interpersonal skills. Generally speaking, it is best to find a professor who has taught you in undergraduate course and can tell you your characteristics and strengths, otherwise, the recommendation letter will easily become a mere formality, thus losing the opportunity for the Admissions Committee to know you.

The last part of the application is to write one or several short articles to express your thoughts and personality. Most commonly, the school asks you to describe your experience and future plans in a few pages, and why you want to enter this school. For example, Carnegie Mellon University, a famous university of science and engineering, asked applicants to analyze the challenges faced by computer technology in 2000, and then asked them to analyze why their own experience and future graduate education can help overcome this challenge. In addition, in the application forms of Yale University and Harvard University, applicants are often asked to describe the activities they are interested in or the people who have the most profound influence on you.

■ American graduate qualification review mechanism

Evaluation and enrollment is a very complicated and long process. The general research institute has a greeting Committee. Each applicant's materials will be reviewed and graded by two or more members of the Admissions Committee. This score is the main basis for whether the applicant is admitted. Finally, the director of the Admissions Committee met with all members to discuss the grading results. If there is any dispute about the applicant, all members can express their opinions on whether to admit the applicant. The first principle for the Admissions Committee to evaluate students is that it is best not to have too weak aspects. All criteria, including grades, work experience and self-introduction articles, are equally important. If an applicant's academic score is very high, but he lacks work experience, then his competitiveness is not as good as a candidate with balanced performance in all aspects. In addition, it is best not to have too much fluctuation in undergraduate grades. From too good to too bad or from too bad to too good, the admissions Committee will doubt the stability of the applicant. If the admissions committee doesn't know how to make a decision on the applicant, they usually take out the articles written by students and read them carefully. In their view, other materials, such as undergraduate grades, are blunt figures that cannot reflect students' imagination, creativity or personality, and students' articles are the only channel for the admissions Committee to directly understand their ideas, so many times, students' papers may determine their fate.

■ What are the advantages of helping you get admission?

Ms Xiaomei Zhihui, director of the Admissions Committee of Keynes School of Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University, has many years of enrollment experience. She said that students' grades are important, but ability is also an important quality that graduate students should have. Organizational ability is an important aspect that many universities need to consider when enrolling students. Those who show leadership during their undergraduate or working years are more attractive. Therefore, it is suggested that students should take part in extracurricular activities at the undergraduate level and strive to become important members of some societies or organizations. When asking teachers to write letters of recommendation, it is best to show the role and importance of applicants in large groups. Sometimes the applicant can even provide a draft listing his personality and advantages for the reference of the person who wrote the recommendation letter.

The last question is that it is extremely important to try to write a short self-introduction essay. For famous universities and other highly competitive schools, the importance of essays is even more prominent, because applicants in such schools often get very good grades, so it is difficult to distinguish applicants from their grades. At this time, the unique experience and hobbies reflected in the essay will attract the attention of the admissions Committee. If an applicant says that he has worked in a government department for one or two years, or participated in a project to help the homeless in India, or worked in a company to design and manage a database, then the Admissions Committee will be very interested in him. If the applicant still wants to get a scholarship from the school, it will be more convincing to show that he is not only outstanding in academic talents, but also has rich research experience and extraordinary organizational skills. Besides, you must avoid making basic grammar and spelling mistakes in the article. In that case, the Admissions Committee will think that either your English level is not good or you are not serious, which will leave a bad impression anyway.

After completing all these tasks, you can send your thick stack of "great achievements" to school. Of course, you have to repeat this process when applying to other schools. At the same time, don't forget to provide each school with your financial situation to prove that your financial ability is enough to pay tuition and living expenses in the United States. After that, you can catch your breath. Generally speaking, universities will send the final decision to applicants who are waiting anxiously in the United States and around the world in the fall. If you received a thin letter at that time, you must stick to it, because most of it is a disappointing news; If you receive a thick envelope, congratulations, because it will be filled with more detailed information about applying for a university, such as accommodation, transportation, registration and so on. And, of course, the admission notice you've been dreaming of. At this time, the joy of being admitted will definitely make you feel that the hard work and troubles of applying for a university earlier have been rewarded.
