For specific schools, please refer to the admission requirements information given on the official website. In order to ensure that students have an absolute advantage in their applications, it is suggested that students should not focus on the minimum performance requirements given by the school in upgrading their hardware background, because international students are good at exams, and the background of international students in general, especially China students, is far superior to the minimum standards of the school.

2. Hardware background requirements

To apply for graduate students in the United States, you must first meet the required hardware requirements, namely, GPA, TOEFL/IELTS, GRE/GMAT, etc. Although these hardware conditions are not the absolute factors that determine whether you are admitted, they are often the stepping stone to apply for a prestigious school. If you want to apply for a prestigious school, the hardware conditions must meet the standards. Some schools, such as ERM major of Columbia University, screen GPA first, and the offer of offering depends on GPA scores. However, in addition to the investigation of hardware background, the graduate programs of famous American universities also emphasize students' practical ability and comprehensive quality.

3, academic ability requirements

In addition to hardware conditions, students should also have some academic ability requirements. In addition to submitting transcripts to prove their learning ability, students can also demonstrate their solid academic foundation and research ability by writing scientific research projects, academic papers and academic competitions they participated in during their school days in documents.

4, internship experience requirements

If students have internship experience, it will be helpful to apply for graduate students in the United States, especially business graduate students, who value the applicant's work experience. The work experience mentioned here can be internship or full-time job. When preparing for the internship, students need to think clearly about the major they will apply for in the future, and then choose the internship related to their application. This will not only strengthen their application skills in related professional fields, but also verify their interest and development potential in this major.

5. Leadership quality requirements

The United States pays attention to cultivating students' comprehensive ability, which is quite different from universities in China. Therefore, when selecting applicants, American universities will not only focus on students' academic performance, but also consider students' personality and personal comprehensive quality.
