What are the requirements for graduate students to study in the United States?

Now many students begin to prepare for studying abroad when they are freshmen, and the United States is the country where many students choose to study abroad, so how to go to the United States to study for graduate students? Look at these conditions.

First, the conditions for studying and studying in the United States

1, education requirements

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. As you can imagine, you must have a bachelor's degree to apply for a master's program, so academic qualifications are the most basic learning order and ability guarantee. As for the choice of majors, international students should try their best to choose from their own interests, and they don't have to be exactly the same as undergraduate majors.

2. Language requirements

Secondly, language scores are required. Studying in the United States requires not only a TOEFL score of 79 or above (some popular majors may require a score of 90 or above 100), but also relevant English scores such as GRE.

3. Economic requirements

Economic conditions are also the most important factor. As we all know, the tuition fees of American universities vary greatly from major to school. Usually, when applying for a visa, the visa officer will ask you to provide proof of your parents' salary. Most people don't look at the students themselves. Because studying in the United States is very expensive, visa officers need to know whether your parents have the ability to support you to complete all your studies and even help you realize your dreams. In addition, the immigration laws in the United States are very strict.

Of course, if your bank deposit record is long, it is also beneficial to your visa. In fact, foreigners have no concept of saving. They think that when they have a job, they have a source of funds. Therefore, your parents' work background is very important.

4. Visa requirements

The visa requirements for studying in the United States are also very high. In addition to a good academic and professional background, it is also important to consider whether 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.

Second, apply for American graduate students.

1. Postgraduates applying for the United States must take IELTS or TOEFL, which is a language proficiency test for international students. Generally, TOP50 University requires TOEFL score above 90 or IELTS score above 7, TOP80 requires TOEFL score above 85 or IELTS score above 6.5, and TOP 100 requires TOEFL score above 80 or IELTS score above 6. In addition to IELTS or TOEFL, students in the United States also need to choose GRE or GMAT according to their major. As one of the most important exams for American graduate students, the GRE score is 346. Generally, domestic students can get about 365,438+00,320, and students who apply for TOP30 University will get a relatively safe score of 320. GMAT is the most important test for applicants who choose to study business in the United States. Applying for TOP30 in American universities, the GMAT score is generally above 720. In view of the high GMAT scores of China students, Chinese mainland's GMAT scores are about 20 points higher than the global average.

In addition to the necessary test scores, American graduate students should pay special attention to the quality of their certificates. Documents are one of the most important means of communication between applicants and the admission committee, which judges whether students can add color to the school through documents. A good self-recommendation letter definitely plays the role of finishing touch in the application materials for studying abroad. Foreign students need to pay special attention to the word limit of the cover letter, and the length should be controlled between 250 and 650 words. The focus is on the statement of personal experience, such as how unlucky you are, how you got up, how miserable you are, and then reborn in despair, or how you came up with an extraordinary idea and put it into practice.

Third, the advantages of going to the United States for graduate study

1, more than half of the top 100 in the world.

The postgraduate education in the United States is very developed, which is famous for its high level, strict requirements and fierce competition. The ratio of graduate students to undergraduates is an important index to measure the running level of a university. At present, the ratio of graduate students to undergraduates in many research universities in the United States has reached 1: 1, and the number of graduate students in some famous universities is even more than that of undergraduates.

Among the latest top universities in the world 100, the number of American universities has reached 50, exceeding the sum of all other countries in the world. Moreover, the graduate education resources in the United States are the richest in the world, giving students the most diverse choices. The faculty and teaching facilities of American graduate schools are world-famous, and the academic atmosphere is free, which gives students the greatest development space. After graduation, students have many opportunities for further study or employment. 70% Nobel Prize winners in the world work in American universities.

2, easy to get in, hard to get out, don't underestimate the enemy.

It's not too difficult to go to graduate school, but it doesn't mean you can sit back and relax after entering school. American graduate schools are usually very strict with students and have a heavy academic burden. Although many courses start from scratch, the teaching progress is very fast. A week's teaching content is often equivalent to one or two months' teaching content of the same course at the undergraduate stage. In addition to assigning students a lot of reading tasks, teachers also require students to submit papers. A research method course has six exams, big and small, and two papers to hand in. Faced with such a heavy academic burden, students naturally dare not take it lightly.
