The 24 fall application season is coming to an end, and students have submitted applications for their dream schoolsI am anxiously waiting for the admission results of my favorite program
Well, from the thousands of applications, we can:Discover which filing patterns and variations are madeThis? Today, I will talk to you in detail
In 24 application seasons, there are more students to choose fromPrograms to apply for a Ph.D. degree, the proportion of applicationsExceeded 20% for the first time. U.S. institutions have world-class educational resources and more funding for research. Therefore, many students can apply for full scholarship funding to further reduce their study abroad expenses.
And,Most U.S. Ph.D. programs in science and engineering can be applied directly from undergraduates。Therefore, many students with excellent academic performance, rich scientific research experience, and clear plans to study for a Ph.D. will further try to mix master's and doctor's degrees and strive to enter the doctoral program in advance.
In the past two years, many breakthroughs have been made in the field of artificial intelligence, from ChatGPT, which can be called an encyclopedia of human knowledge, to SORA, which is now popular with text and image generationThe popularity of applications for computer science has risen further。In this year's application, there is:More students are applying for the PhD program in computer science, the proportion of applicationsA year-on-year increase of 11%
In addition, there are:There was also an increase in the number of projects in electronic engineering, physics, chemistry and biostatisticsThese majors also belong to the United States has been focusing on trainingSTEM fields (science, technology, mathematics, engineering).
In addition, because of the higher number of applicants, the direction of applying for doctoral degree this year is also more abundantA total of 350+ PhD programs in different directions have been applied, which includes such as:Piano performance, marine science, petroleum engineering, etc
Similar to the PhD application, apply this yearElectrical Engineering, Data Science, Statistics, Mechanical Engineering, BiostatisticsMaster's programof the number of peopleFurther growth
It's worth noting that the number of people applying for computer science hasn't changed significantly this year, on the contraryThe number of applicants for traditional business majors such as finance and economics has declined。In the application and school selection, there are alsoMore and more students are choosing STEM programs, which are more popular in the United States
U.S. Colleges and UniversitiesIt is more friendly to apply for changing majors, and there are also many programs that can be applied for from scratch, such as the CS37 project of USC, the align project of Northeastern University, etc. This year,More students are choosing to apply for a mix of majors, the number of people who choose to apply for 2 or more majors for the first timeMore than 80%.
InMixed OptionsOn:
A common application portfolio for businessMixed application in finance and management; Mixed application for finance and accounting majors; Finance & EconomicsMixed application, etc.
Common application combinations for science and engineering:Mixed application of electronic engineering and computer engineering; Computer Science and Data Science; Physics and Electrical Engineering are mixedetc.
In the 24 application season,Business and science and engineering students will have more diverse professional choices:Apply for 3 or moreBusiness majorsYesGashenSuch as:Business Analytics, Financial Engineering, Data Science, Quantitative Economicsand other interdisciplinary fields. Science studentsThis year's commonGashen directionIncludes:Statistics, Biostatistics, Operations Research, Management Information Systems, Data Scienceand other science and engineering majors with a wider range of applications.
Apply for more majors, also for studentsFuture offer options, and career developmentMore options are reserved.
