What is the difference between simply studying in the United States and studying with a U.S. green card?

More and more Chinese parents want their children to receive education abroad and give their children a larger platform to see the outside world. Last year, more than 300,000 Chinese students went to study and live in the United States. Countless students are struggling with TOEFL and SAT, dreaming of entering the world's top universities and staying in the United States to work and live. How many international students can find jobs and get green cards in the United States every year?

Simply studying abroad is very difficult

The hard work of Chinese students is appreciated all over the world ***see. However, no matter how good you are in exams and how diligent you are, you may not be favored by top universities. Because the top universities in the United States never only value test scores. There are also some top universities, such as medical majors, that do not accept applications from international students.

For the same batch of students admitted, the average SAT score for students with green cards is only 1,600, while international students (including Chinese students without green cards) require 1,800 points, and the TOEFL language score requirements are as high as 95 points.

The difference is beyond words. It is always after the problem is raised that I think about immigration and the source of the problem, and then I begin to face the seriousness of the problem. Since you choose to study in the United States, the green card is what your child really needs most!

Advantages of holding a green card: high admission rate + tuition fee + scholarships

Currently, the top 20 universities in the United States are available for All international students compete for only 10% of the places, which shows how intense it is. With a U.S. green card, children can escape from this extremely fierce battlefield that only accounts for 10% of the total quota, and enjoy the same equal competitive opportunities as American students, thus leading to a significant jump in the admission rate to prestigious schools.

All primary and secondary schools in the United States have compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except for aristocratic private boarding schools). However, public primary and secondary schools in the United States are not open to international students, and international students can only choose to attend expensive private primary and secondary schools. After immigrating to the United States, children can enjoy the same free education as local students.

You can imagine how difficult it is for international students to compete with outstanding students from all over the world for a very limited number of scholarships. But for students with American status, they can not only enjoy a variety of scholarships and grants, but also easily apply for student loans, which relieves many worries about studying abroad.

Employment in the United States

According to relevant provisions of U.S. law, international students holding an F1 student visa in the United States must leave the United States within 60 days after graduation. If you want to work and live legally in the United States for a long time, you need to obtain American identity, which is a green card.

After graduating with a U.S. green card, you can enjoy internship and job opportunities from Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and non-profit organizations without restrictions on status and work visas. You can choose your career freely and gain the opportunity to interact with local people. Equal salary and benefits.

Current status of U.S. high school study abroad applications

The 2016 undergraduate admissions results of Ivy League schools have been announced recently. This year the admission rate of the Evergreen League schools hit a new record low. For example, Harvard University's overall admission rate this year is about 5.2%, which is the lowest record in history.

Harvard has admitted 2 people in advance from mainland China, all of them are girls, and both are foreigners;

Princeton has admitted 2 people in advance, all of them are girls, and they are all studying at American universities;

Yale admitted 6 Chinese students in advance, including one foreigner.

Looking at this year’s early admission and regular admission data, it is not difficult to see that prestigious American schools are becoming more cautious in admitting Chinese students. Currently, more and more prestigious American schools are giving admission to Chinese students admitted to American high schools. This trend will become more obvious in the next few years.
