Through these admission data, we can see that prestigious schools pay more attention to assessing students' soft power, and standardized test scores and student diversity are also factors considered by schools.

In addition, overall, the enrollment share of Chinese students has decreased this year.
As we all know, the standard of education in the United States has always been praised by the world, and it is a world leader in higher education. The United States has many advantages such as abundant educational resources, a perfect education system, and advanced educational concepts, which attract countless Chinese families and students. Today, "educational planning, status first" has become an important option for many parents when planning their children's future growth path! And a US Green Card gives children more choices. With a US Green Card, in terms of enrollment quotas, they will share 90%-95% of the admission quotas with domestic students; in terms of costs, students holding a Green Card can enjoy the same tuition fees as domestic students, which is only one-third of that of international students. In short, Green Card status plays a pivotal role in every aspect of a child's school selection, internship, and job hunting.
