1. Transfer requirements
American high school applications require students to enter a specific grade. The four years of high school in the United States are grades 9 to 12. However, students may be required to re-read grade 10 because of inconsistent courses, which means that they will have to re-read grade 10 in the United States after finishing senior one in China. In addition, many schools do not accept the grade transfer of 12. If a student has finished the second year of high school in China and wants to apply for the twelfth grade, it is not feasible. Therefore, if students want to apply for American high schools after entering the second year of China High School, they need to retake the exam.
2. Deadline
The deadline for transfer is the most important time in the application process. Students must take the information of official website as the standard.
Check the transfer deadline on the school website. If you can't see the specific time on the website, please contact the admissions staff by email or telephone. Generally speaking, the deadline for American high schools to apply for transfer is 65438+February to February.
3. Standardized examination
Standardized examination is an arduous task for students who want to apply for American high schools. Students need to take TOEFL and SSAT exams. Both of these exams require registration and appointment in advance. In particular, there are a large number of international students in China, and all of them take exams at the same time, which has caused the problem of tight seats in China. So students need to make an appointment in advance.
Submit application
Generally speaking, most materials are submitted on the school website, and some transcripts may need to be mailed. The application should be submitted in strict accordance with the file format required by official website, and the basic information should be checked several times before submission.
5. Interview appointment
Some schools require students to attend an interview after receiving the application materials. If a student is already in an American high school and has applied to a nearby school, it is best to attend an interview with the school. Students who are not in the United States can also interview with recruiters through other software. Students should make an appointment before the interview.
6. Proof of property
Many foreign students are confused about the amount and preparation time of the real estate license. Generally speaking, students do not need to submit proof of property when applying for a school. You need to provide it after receiving the notice from the school. In order to prove to the visa officer that the family has enough financial resources to support students' study and life in the United States, I suggest that students prepare a higher amount of proof.
