Ensuring children attend prestigious schools and receive a quality education is the aspiration of every family. Over the past few days, the college entrance exam (Gaokao) has drawn nationwide attention, with eyes across China focused on high school seniors. Educational issues remain a matter of deep concern for every family.
Recently, the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) released the 2018-2019 World University Rankings, which includes 1,000 universities across 61 countries. In this ranking, the United States demonstrates the strongest educational strength.
Three American universities have swept the top three spots globally. Among the top 10 institutions, the U.S. occupies 8 places. Furthermore, of the top 100 universities, 51 are from the United States, accounting for more than half.
U.S. universities in the top ten include:
1. Harvard University, total score 100;
2. Stanford University, total score 96.7;
3. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, total score 95.1;
4. University of California, Berkeley, total score 92.5;
5. Princeton University, total score 91.9;
6. Columbia University, total score 91.4
7. California Institute of Technology, total score 91;
8. University of Chicago, total score 90.6.
So, what criteria does this authoritative, widely followed ranking use to select high-quality universities? Let’s take a look at the evaluation metrics with Worldway Group:
1. Quality of Education (25%): Measured by the number of a university's alumni who have won major international awards, medals, and honors, relative to the university's size;
2. Alumni Employment (25%): Measured by the number of a university's alumni who have held CEO positions at major global companies, relative to the university's size;
3. Quality of Faculty (25%): Measured by the number of faculty members who have won major international awards, medals, and honors, relative to the university's size;
4. Publications (5%): Measured by the number of research papers appearing in reputable journals;
5. Influence (5%): Measured by the number of research papers appearing in highly-influential journals;
6. Citations (5%): Measured by the number of highly-cited research papers;
7. Broad Impact (5%): Measured by the ratio of highly-cited papers relative to the university's size;
8. Patents (5%): Measured by the number of international patent filings;
In summary, it must be acknowledged that the United States is an educational powerhouse, never lacking world-renowned institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and MIT. With numerous institutions and top-tier educational quality, the U.S. cultivates countless top-tier talents across every field annually. An open academic environment, diversified and advanced scientific concepts, and the courage to put theories into practice are perhaps the most significant takeaways for international students receiving an education in the U.S.
This is also a major reason why the U.S. has become one of the top choices for study and immigration for many students in recent years. As everyone knows, the number of people choosing to study and immigrate to the U.S. has far exceeded expectations and continues to rise annually. Naturally, "immigrating first and studying later" has become the new trend for overseas education.
More and more people realize that studying abroad while holding a Green Card yields twice the result with half the effort. The differences between having a Green Card and not having one are significant: In terms of enrollment quotas, 90%-95% of admissions spots are reserved for domestic students and Green Card holders; In terms of costs, students with a Green Card enjoy the same tuition rates as domestic students, which is only one-third of that for international students. Furthermore, many scholarship-granting institutions in the U.S. limit awards to "Americans" (including Green Card holders); In terms of employment, students with a Green Card are not restricted by identity or work visa requirements, giving them priority access to internships and job opportunities at Global 500 companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, as well as the freedom to choose careers and receive the same salary and benefits as locals. In short, Green Card status plays a pivotal role in every stage, from school selection to internships and job hunting.
If you have plans to send your child to study in the U.S., why not let your child immigrate to the U.S. first? Identity planning is the "starting point" for your child's journey in overseas education! Currently, numerous high-net-worth families choose the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration route to first obtain U.S. status, then leverage Green Card advantages to plan ahead for their children to enjoy U.S. elite educational resources. As the most popular investment immigration route for Chinese citizens, U.S. EB-5 offers flexible application requirements and a low investment threshold; there are no requirements regarding business management background, age, education, or English proficiency. A $500,000 investment allows the entire family to immigrate, granting children access to top-tier educational resources and numerous "invisible benefits."
Naturally, by choosing high-quality projects offered by Worldway Group—which have already received USCIS approval, show potential for shortened wait times, have completed all job creation, and offer first-priority repayment guarantees—investors can maximize the protection of their interests, successfully immigrate to the U.S., and grant their children immediate Green Card advantages.
Currently, three highly sought-after EB-5 projects from Worldway Group—the Manhattan No. 9 Luxury Boutique Hotel and Dallas No. 1—are exceptional, high-quality projects.
Experts from Worldway Immigration Group remind investors: The current U.S. EB-5 Regional Center program has been extended until September 30, 2018. We advise investors who intend to immigrate for their children's education to seize this golden window of policy stability, select high-quality EB-5 investment projects, and submit applications as early as possible to avoid being affected by potential future policy fluctuations and the increasingly vocal calls for price increases!
