A: One is the average grade in school. GPA is a student's academic performance. It is a 2-3 year grade accumulated by the usual hard work in the classroom, and it can best demonstrate a student's academic performance. The second is extracurricular activities. What American universities provide is quality education, which requires students to develop in an all-round way, not only in learning, but also extracurricular and social. The third is the thesis.

The difference is huge. If the school is in New York, Boston or San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc., the cost of living is about $1000-2000 a month. If the school is in some small and medium-sized cities in the Midwest, the cost of living will be much cheaper. American college tuition is rising every year, and the rate of increase is about 5%.

In addition, the title of the Shen thesis will also mention why you choose a major, so the choice of the major direction is also closely related to the writing direction of the Shen thesis. For example, the online application of the University of Chicago will have three majors of interest to fill in, one of which is the main major, which is used as a major for writing essays.

Comprehensive universities are large in scale, generally have tens of thousands of students, and generally offer a variety of degrees such as bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. At the same time, its subject classification is broad, and its majors are more detailed. In one case, if students want to study engineering or vocational majors, such as accounting or computer science, then comprehensive universities are recommended, because comprehensive universities generally offer these majors. At the same time, students are required to have strong self-control and self-learning ability, and have a good time management concept. The College of Arts and Sciences focuses on university education and does not focus on professional subdivisions. It rarely sets up professional colleges such as business schools and law schools. The subjects are mainly humanities and social sciences, and more emphasis is placed on comprehensive education. In the minds of Americans , The College of Arts and Sciences represents a classic, small-scale, high-quality university education. The academic reputation of many liberal arts colleges is no less than that of Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale, etc., so they have become the first choice for many American aristocrats to educate their children. Former US President Barack Obama also read liberal arts and sciences College, since the College of Arts and Sciences focuses on cultivating the breadth of knowledge of American college students in the humanities, arts, sciences, social sciences and other courses, if students are interested in general education, the College of Arts and Sciences will be a perfect combination with you. If you're a high school student who doesn't know what to major in, then perhaps a liberal arts college is a good choice. Because the College of Arts and Sciences will teach you a broad range of the basics of each subject, it can help you go on to a master's degree at a comprehensive university after graduation. In recent years, the American College of Arts and Sciences has the so-called 2+2, or 3+2 design. After 2 or 3 years of study in the College of Arts and Sciences, and then to another comprehensive university (usually an Ivy League school) to complete a degree, graduates can obtain The graduation certificates of the two schools can be said to be an alternative springboard for famous schools.

A: Majors with better employment are computer, electronic engineering, accounting, and finance. From the current form, the major is more important, but if you are in a good school, the resources you get in this school are different. For example, if you know a professor who happens to be hired by a company, then you can Get a recommendation from a professor. However, the employment situation has been changing and it is difficult to predict. Now, science and engineering majors are more favorable in terms of OPT. American colleges encourage students to go to slightly better schools, because the overall level of teachers and students around them will be higher.

A: The ranking of American universities is assessed by the famous American magazine: U.S. News. Every year, the magazine selects about 1,300 universities from more than 3,600 universities in the United States to enter the "Best Universities in America" list, and then the magazine will re-rank the universities that enter the list. The evaluation criteria involve: the highest degree offered by the university, the size of the school, the region of the school, and so on. Finally, the ranking is divided into four categories, namely: the regional ranking of American universities, the regional ranking of master's degree, the national ranking of doctoral degree, and the national ranking of liberal arts colleges (the expression is imprecise). Generally, the higher the ranking is, the better the quality of education is, but it is not absolute. For example, some universities do not have high overall rankings, but some majors have high rankings.

The AP test scores can be used for college credits. It can reach 8.

As a result, once you are sure to apply for spring admission, there may be fewer school choices.

A promotion activity should be "beneficial to others and self-interest". If your activities are deliberate, purposeful altruistic behavior "tailored" to college applications, experienced admissions officers can easily assume that you are helping others only to help you apply to college.

A: Mainly divided into four categories: academic activities, including various subject knowledge competitions, research projects, internships, and publication of journal papers; school community activities; student hobbies activities, including sports, painting, Chess, dance instruments, photography, etc.; Volunteer activities
