After graduating from high school in an international school, there are several aspects that need to be considered if you want to enter a domestic university:
Domestic universities have different admission policies for international school high school graduates, some universities only accept domestic college entrance examination scores, some universities can accept international school transcripts and standardized test scores, such as SAT, ACT, AP, IB, etc., and some universities will also require interviews or other materials. Therefore, when choosing a domestic university, high school graduates need to understand the specific requirements of each university, as well as their own strengths and weaknesses, so as to make a reasonable application plan.
If you want to apply to a domestic university, international school high school graduates need to prepare relevant exams and materials, including:
Domestic College Entrance Examination: If you want to apply to a university that only accepts domestic college entrance examination results, international high school high school graduates need to take the domestic college entrance examination and meet the corresponding score line. The difficulty and content of the domestic college entrance examination are very different from the curriculum of international schools, so it is necessary to make adequate Xi and preparation in advance.
Standardized Tests: If you want to apply to colleges that accept international school transcripts and standardized test scores, international school high school graduates need to take the appropriate standardized tests, such as SAT, ACT, AP, IB, etc., and achieve excellent scores. The difficulty and content of these exams are closer to the curriculum of international schools, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the timing and deadline of the exam, as well as the strategies and techniques for the exam.
Transcripts and Letters of Recommendation: International school high school graduates are required to provide their own transcripts and letters of recommendation to demonstrate their academic Xi abilities and moral character. Transcripts need to reflect their average score and ranking, as well as the difficulty and range of the courses chosen. Letters of recommendation need to come from your own teacher or principal, or someone else who can prove you, such as a community service leader or a competition instructor.
Personal Statement and Resume: International school high school graduates are required to write their own personal statement and resume to showcase their personality and strengths. A personal statement requires answering college application questions or choosing a topic to express your interests, goals, experiences, and values. The resume needs to list your academic Xi achievements, extracurricular activities, community service, awards and honors, etc., to prove your comprehensive quality and potential.
Interviews and other materials: Some domestic universities will require international high school graduates to conduct interviews to understand their speaking skills, mindset and adaptability. When interviewing, you need to pay attention to your appearance, politeness, self-confidence, and communication skills, as well as your knowledge and interest in the university and major. In addition, some universities will also require other materials, such as portfolios, certificates, etc., to supplement their applications.
