Canada is a fascinating study abroad destination, not only with beautiful natural scenery, but also with world-class educational resources. Compared with other countries, Canada has a relatively friendly policy for international students, so Canada is also attracting more and more Chinese students. So if you want to apply for the top 10 universities in the top 10 universities, what conditions do you need to meet?Today, I have sorted out the application requirements for Canadian universities, come and take a look!
To apply for the top 10 universities in the university, first understand the basic conditions.
According to the latest QS rankings, the first place in the top 10 Canadian universities is the University of Toronto, which has many major options, in addition to the popular aerospace technology, there are also relatively unpopular veterinary medicine, etc., in addition to the largest number of Nobel Prize-winning professors in Canada;The second place is McGill University, the "Harvard of Canada", where the great physicist Rutherford discovered the structure of the atom and made McGill famous in the worldThe University of British Columbia, the "most beautiful campus in North America", is located on the peninsula west of the beautiful garden city of Vancouver, and is also one of the schools that many students yearn for.
It can be said that every university has a reason to attract students to go, and the following three materials are generally necessary to apply for a famous school:
Academic performance. Most universities in Canada recognize Chinese scores, such as high school scores, baccalaureate scores, and college entrance examination scores. If you are enrolled in a university, you will need to provide your current university grades. For prestigious schools, it is necessary to score more than 85 points in the three years of high school, and different majors also have different requirements for scores, such as business or engineering majors can even reach more than 90 points.
If you want to apply for a master's degree, then a prestigious Canadian university will pay more attention to your institutional background. For example, the University of British Columbia clearly stated on its official website that the GPA of 211 colleges and universities is 80;The GPA of the double non-resident institution is 85. So for the sake of insurance, if your undergraduate college is not a 985 or 211 college, it will be more reliable to maintain a GPA of more than 85 points.
Language scores. It is recommended to choose IELTS for language scores, and the reasons will be discussed in detail below in combination with test preparation. As for the language score requirements, there is not much difference between the three requirements.
The University of Toronto has a minimum of 6 in IELTS for undergraduate applications5 points, with no band less than 6 points;A minimum IELTS score of 7 for master's degree applicants should be obtained, with no band less than 65 points. In addition to the above requirements, the University of Toronto has also set different IELTS score standards for different majors, such as business, education, sociology and other majors generally require higher IELTS scores.
McGill University requires an overall IELTS score of at least 6 for undergraduates5 points, with no band less than 60 points. The IELTS requirement for postgraduate students is slightly higher, requiring an overall score of not less than 70 points, with no band less than 65 points. Like the University of Toronto, some majors have different IELTS standards. For example, for business and engineering majors, McGill University has higher IELTS requirements, and both listening, speaking, reading and writing need to achieve a score of 7 or above. For majors such as arts and social sciences, the IELTS requirements are relatively low, and only 6A score of 5 or more is sufficient.
The University of British Columbia's undergraduate application requires an overall IELTS score of no less than 65 points, of which no less than 6 points are required for each individual item. An overall IELTS score of no less than 70, but Columbia University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences requires a minimum of 75 points, of which applied linguistics and TESOL majors require a minimum of 7 points for each individual score for international students, and some programs in the business school, as long as the GRE or GMAT meet the speaking score requirements, they do not need to take the IELTS test, and the School of Journalism even requires a minimum IELTS score of 85, but the IELTS score requirements for specific professional graduate programs can be checked by going to the official website of Columbia University.
GRE or GAMT exams.
Canadian universities also require GRE and GMAT exams for master's applications. However, this is not a mandatory option, mainly in the major you are applying for, some majors will require the submission of these two test scores, such as the business schools of prestigious Canadian universities generally require the submission of GMAT test scores.
Scores like this, which are not mandatory, can generally be used to submit these two tests as an adjunct to the application in situations where the GPA is not ideal.
If you want to improve the acceptance rate, you must prepare well for the language test.
Language scores are the most important stepping stone on the way to studying abroad, in addition to IELTS, there are also TOEFL, PTE, etc. However, combined with the recognition, difficulty of preparing for the test, flexibility, etc., I recommend taking IELTS directly.
The first point is that in terms of recognition, IELTS is oriented to many countries, and if you look at the world, IELTS has successfully covered 140+ countries and regions, 12,000+ universities and institutions, and continues to grow. When you apply for a famous school, you can also apply for a multi-country joint application at the same time, apply for a famous school in other countries, and finally choose the best, there are more possibilities.
The second point is that the difficulty of the test is relatively simple compared to other language tests, and the test format is more suitable for Chinese students. The vocabulary of IELTS is about 6,000, which is no different from the requirements of university level 6, and unlike language tests such as TOEFL, which have academic vocabulary and rare words, etc., the vocabulary of IELTS is from life, and the foothold of the questions is also in life, and the pressure of answering questions will be relatively small. At the same time, IELTS has two options: paper-based and computer-based IELTS, and candidates can choose the way they are good at it to take the test in the best condition.
The third point is that the flexibility of IELTS is also getting higher and higher, you only need 3-5 days to get the results after the test, and for students who are more anxious to get the results, you can also cooperate with your time to brush up on the score.
It is worth mentioning that most of the universities in Canada have an academic year system, which generally starts in October each year and starts in September of the following year, while universities will start processing application documents in March every year, usually following the principle of "first come, first review", the sooner you submit the complete application documents, the sooner you will get admission information. Therefore, if you want to apply to the top 10 universities in the top 10 universities, you can start preparing for your language scores now and strive to be the first batch of students to apply.
