Questions about applying for American master's degree, TOEFL, GRE, GPA and so on.

2. It is best not to consider immigration first, because the visa says that the immigrant will 100% refuse the visa;

3. You don't need so much deposit, you can apply for the National Award;

You have to take GRE and TOEFL as soon as possible and force yourself to learn English with the exam. I will tell you about the review of GRE and TOEFL at the end.

5. Suggestions on the schedule. GT Test: You can apply for 6G. I don't know what your situation is. The junior course is rather tight. You can go like this: apply for 10G, and then contact the foreign professors you are interested in first, explaining that the GRE exam is late, and then send it back when the results come out; TOEFL can see when to relax and concentrate on English completely, about one and a half months;

6. You can change your major, but it is best to be related to your major, or you have a certain academic background (you have attended relevant courses and done relevant topics).

7. Suggestion: Take the GT test first and make full preparations. After the exam, you should prepare for your senior year to do projects with your teachers (not only graduation design, but also contact the professors who apply for related professional projects). While making ceramics, I contacted professors from interested schools abroad and started sending emails. Maybe the professor will call you later. You can often go to the stupid website to see how others do it. Your GPA is completely enough, don't worry.

8. If you apply, I suggest you choose two schools in the top 10, four schools in 10 to 20, and four schools in 20 to 40. In this way, there is a guarantee and a bold investment. Anyway, don't be afraid not to apply.

9. TOEFL and GRE review methods, I can introduce my answers to other similar questions:

Hello, I'm not Daniel, but I can share some experiences with you. I prepared for G (written test) for 45 days. Before that, it took V630 Q800 two years to read Hongbao, which was almost meaningless.

The first thing I want to say is, don't think that you can only recite 100 or 200 words a day. Your brain is endless.

The second is the method. I started reciting words on April 20, and I have to recite them for about 10 hours every day. I feel like vomiting. I just reversed the order. I recite it backwards because I think it is thin and easy to hold. Actually, I should recite The Red Treasure first. Don't be like me. 20 pages a day, it took 10 days to finish it for the first time. At this time, the memory rate is about 30%-35%, and then it took five days to sort out 40 pages of words recognized by the word department every day, with about 90 words per page, and made about 30 pages, nearly 3000 words. This is the second time. Then I will be familiar with these 3,000 words in four days. Why do you do this? It can also confuse the vocabulary order, ignore the words I already know and focus on the unfamiliar ones. May 10 began to look at red envelopes, which is actually the best. It took three days to sort out the vocabulary of 1000, which is unfamiliar, because the order and reverse order of red envelopes are completely different. I still use WORD this time, but this time I only type one word on each page, leaving the right blank. I will write the meaning by hand over and over again. If I can write the basic meaning of this word, I think I have passed the test. By May, around 17, I will be able to make about 5 mistakes in paragraph 1.

At this stage, it is impossible to remember 200 words every day in the first 10 days, but in the later stage of sorting out, I may write down more than 500 words every day, which is the necessity of sorting out by myself. So it took me about 25 days to basically complete the most important 4 1 list vocabulary of red envelopes (2 1658 in reverse order).

After that, it took about 10 days to read the red envelope twice, focusing on reciting the last list of 10. It turns out that the last list of 10 is still very important. If you want to get into 65,438+0400, you can't guarantee that you will make four mistakes after reading two paragraphs, so you'd better memorize them. I started reading Sapphire on May 28th, and I'm still sorting out words I don't know. This time, there are only about 500 words (because there are hundreds of words in Lanbao itself that are not included in the red envelope). After the last vocabulary baptism, when I started the model test at 1 in June, there were only about 3 mistakes in the basic 1 part (I didn't do it specifically).

This is my vocabulary experience. The core is to organize unfamiliar words according to your own situation to strengthen your memory, no matter what method you use. As for books, red envelopes are king, but it is absolutely impossible to read red envelopes forever, because the order and position of words will seriously affect your true memory. It is suggested to watch "Red Packet" together in reverse order, with Lanbao as a supplement. Sometimes it is ok to check whether the answer is correct.

If you are reading, read Yang Peng's long and difficult sentences. Many people say that reading this book should be done first. If time permits, it's best. If not, do it at the same time. Reading sentences for one hour every day, 65,438+00 days must be effective. However, my reading has not been particularly stable. At most, I will make 7 mistakes in one class, and at least 1. I got this score because I did better in the exam. If you can read the yellow book, I believe there will be no problem in the exam, and the reading difficulty of the domestic exam is decreasing.

Fill in the blanks, I think it's easy to delay time. If you read Chen Shengyuan's book carefully, you will be confused if you don't understand the sentences. Confusion is also skillful. Find words that are relevant before and after, and you will feel it when you do more questions.

As for the timetable, I usually set myself 5 minutes for the final module test, 7-8 minutes for filling in the blanks and 65,438+06 minutes for reading, which is also the timetable that everyone finally expects (reading with strong reading ability can be completed in 65,438+02-65,438+03 minutes, but I can't do it anyway).

Finally, I want to say that the shorter the GRE preparation front, the better. That is to say, if you study 1 hour and 1 year every day, it is definitely not as good as studying for 40 days1hour every day. This is a real surprise experience. Only under high-intensity exercise will your brain explode beyond its usual strength.

2. If you apply for classes, you'd better go to Beijing. I went to gre Shui Mu Tsinghua Campus, which is the day shift at the south gate of Tsinghua, and I felt ok.

And there are basically only a few teachers who teach gre in Beijing. I still remember that the vocabulary was teacher Chen Qi, a master student in Tsinghua.

But you must know what you are taking this course for.

Teachers in New Oriental are good at telling jokes, but they all have their own experiences and feelings about exams. We should communicate with them more.

Vocabulary class can focus on listening, reviewing after class, and reciting more lists according to the teacher's method will be better. Then the teacher will tell you some skills of analogy antonym. In fact, what he said may not be suitable for you. My feeling in the gre test is that as long as I know the words, I will be able to do the antonym of analogy correctly. The words are basically little red books, and there is nothing difficult about others.

I think the teacher's composition is rather rigid. After two months of preparation, I started to write poorly, but I really didn't like to use the method given by the teacher, that is, using the template set. I took this North American model essay and learned a little. On the contrary, I feel that my writing ideas are clear, there is no template routine, writing will not be suspected of plagiarism, and my analytical ability has also improved a lot. Finally, I got 6 points in the exam.

When reading, the teacher speaks carefully, but it is a waste of time because he can translate sentence by sentence. If you have enough time, read well, focus on vocabulary and difficult sentences, and then do the real questions several times until you can understand the article quickly. But if time is not enough, you can do long reading. Short reading takes time, and few people can do it well. Many of them are wrong. Of course, this doesn't mean that they won't get high marks. Many students here gave up studying, but they still got a good score of 1400+

It is really important to list the fill-in-the-blank courses separately. Better get them all done. The teacher's method is worth learning, that is, find the relevant words from the empty front, which is worth listening to. After memorizing the words and doing more real questions, it will become more and more stable.

Well, that's all I know, but it's better for you to judge for yourself, and then ask other students more. They'll have a lot of things I haven't said.

You don't seem to ask questions. . . Hehe, your 3 and 4 are wrong.

I think GPA ranking is more important than your grades, but generally you are over 80. Now studies are more important than grades. If you get good grades, take part in more scientific research activities, then pay more attention to the articles of foreign professors and prepare ceramics. Some of my classmates have low GPA, but they also applied to good schools, which are good at ceramics.

You'd better make your own plan, ours can only be used for reference, because no one knows yourself better than you. You can refer to the above method, and then do a set of questions to see how big the gap is and where it is, so that you will have a more sense of direction. Moreover, it is best to do real questions and model tests often in the review process so as to adjust the direction in time.

Well, if you have any questions, you can ask me. My email address is: oefox000000 @163.com.
