Latest comprehensive news on U.S. investment immigration from Worldway: Access to international educational resources is the primary reason many Chinese citizens choose to immigrate to the U.S. or pursue U.S. investment immigration. Worldway Immigration will launch a series of special features on U.S. education. In this issue, we will focus on analyzing the latest trends for applying to U.S. universities in 2016:
1. Apply Early, Plan Early
Early application and planning are crucial. Because the number of applicants is smaller, admissions officers generally review applications carefully; as the number of applicants increases, many more are rejected. Worldway Immigration kindly reminds you: submitting applications in the first semester of the senior year of high school may already be too late. As the saying goes, "the earlier you go abroad, the better," and the importance of applying in advance is becoming increasingly significant.
2. Decreased Importance of Standardized Test Scores
Currently, many U.S. universities have clearly stated that scores are merely the first threshold for determining your eligibility to apply; beyond that, they further screen for students who fit the university's style or have outstanding backgrounds. U.S. universities are placing more emphasis on evaluating a student's comprehensive qualities.
3. Steadily Increasing Importance of Academic Ability
Language scores assess whether a student possesses the language application skills required for academic and daily life during their four years at university, while academic ability determines whether a student has the capacity to complete their four-year coursework and whether they can achieve success in university to serve their future dreams. Generally, schools highly value students with strong academic abilities who can integrate knowledge from various fields and apply what they have learned; such talent is needed both in university and in future society.
4. Focus on Personalized Extracurricular Experience
During the application process, the extracurricular experiences presented by Chinese students are often highly homogenized, which renders them ineffective. Personalization of experience should be reflected in the application essay, and unique characteristics can be linked to one's life experiences from childhood to the present. Personalized experience does not need to be exhaustive; rather, it requires students to identify their interests and strive to pursue them to the fullest.
5. Active Interaction with Admissions Schools
Chinese students aiming for top-tier universities need to increase their chances of admission by actively participating in summer programs at prestigious schools, visiting campuses during the application season to solidify the impression they leave on admissions officers, maintaining regular contact with admissions offices, and refreshing their presence.
6. Higher Success Rate for Attending High School in the U.S.
The data provided by Chinese students who attend high school in the U.S. is more authentic, highly credible, and contains less "padding." This authentic data leaves a good impression on schools from the very beginning of the application process. In particular, these students who attend high school in the U.S. have a stronger emotional connection to the country, their grades are more authentic, and their language proficiency and ability to handle future university coursework are relatively higher, with no resistance to or need to re-adapt to life in the U.S.
Worldway immigration experts point out: 2015 is the year for overseas investment, and immigration must be seized, especially with the arrival of the EB-5 visa backlog for U.S. investment immigration. Two high-quality, already-approved projects from Worldway—the Pennsylvania Turnpike Project (a pure government project with high employment rates and low risk) and the New York Liberty Garden Luxury Apartment Project (a high-quality real estate project with approval and low risk)—are not to be missed! Currently, after several rounds of purchasing, there are very few spots left for these two projects.
Worldway kindly reminds you: The Pennsylvania Turnpike Phase II, a pure EB-5 government project, is about to sell out and will officially close on May 11. Worldway offers a final reminder to investors: those interested in U.S. investment immigration should seize the final discounts and apply promptly. Hesitation will mean missing the last opportunity for discounts on these high-quality projects. Consultation Hotline: 400-138-2929
