对美国留学申请迷茫?准备好这些问题 让你成为老司机

  2016年已经过半,还记得你的新年许愿吗?to do list上又有几项已经完成?新一个美国留学申请季大幕刚刚拉开,早起的鸟儿有虫吃,越往后越被动,如何抢占先机把控申请进度,这与你是否合理规划好时间是密切相关的。已将去美国留学种在心里生根发芽的小伙伴们,在着手准备申请前,你是否已经了解下面这些问题?希望下面的建议与信息汇总能够对于大家的美国留学申请有所帮助。

  首先是申请截止时间?

  deadline是第一生产力! 以申请美国研究生来说,美国常见的申请截止时间为10月15日、11月1日、11月15日、11月30日、12月1日、12月15日、次年1月1日及2月1日,有些学校只有一轮,有些学校到次年5月份截止,也有个别学校采取rolling的方式。一般说来,文商科的申请会较多集中在10、11月份,而理工科相对晚些,截止日期分布在12月-2月,集中在次年1、2月份。因此,为了最大程度把握申请主动权,建议小伙伴们尽早准备,赶在申请的最前线。

  需要的材料有哪些?

  这个问题的答案,相信不用赘述,大家都很清楚:主要包括文书,材料,资金等等。(文书有简历,3篇推荐信,一篇个人陈述;材料包括:雅思,GRE或GMAT, 本科成绩单,在读证明/毕业证学位证,存款证明,护照等;)

  对于你自己,又有多少了解呢?想要申请什么专业?GPA够不够高?你的优势和劣势是哪些?是否需要科研背景或者相关活动经验?

  在申请美国留学的时候,其实分数,不论是GPA还是雅思GRE成绩等标化是很硬性的指标,对申请是影响较大。如果现在的你是大三下学期,那么还可以根据自己的情况,再努力提高自己的GPA。另外对于雅思和GRE等标化考试的准备也需尽早规划以确保一个有利分数,毕竟这也是提高申请竞争力,让你从众人中闪耀出来的利器。就雅思考试来说,绝大多数美国院校认可雅思成绩,一般来说,美国院校的研究生入学要求在6.5 -7分左右,相信通过认真备考,对于大家来说,这并不是个遥不可及的目标。

  在努力提升各路硬性指标外,我们还需要对自己有一个全面且客观的分析,其实准备留学申请的过程,更是一个重新审视自己的机会,这会让你全面立体地看到自己的长处及不足,从而制定一个较为实用的申请文书准备策略。比如标化成绩不高的小伙伴们,可以侧重突出其他方面的经验与优势,不论是扎实的科研背景或者丰富的课外活动,社会实习经验,都可以是文书中的闪亮点。此外,如果你仍旧学有余力,从现在起,努力调动身边的资源,多多参与申请专业相关的项目/活动,积极参与其中,不论是为了丰富申请资料或是提前了解专业发展,相信都会是有利而无害的。

  学校到底怎么选?排名又该怎么看?

  大家势必都会密切关注每年USNEWS的排名更新,这份排名也成为了许多童鞋选校的标准,从未来的就业角度考虑,除了参考综合排名外,建议大家还需要衡量学校的专业排名及地理位置等因素。同时,为了保证申请的成功率,建议大家根据自身背景在选择校时区分好冲刺档、适中档及保底档。
