2017美国留学想进入名牌大学特别是像哈佛、耶鲁、普里斯顿、宾夕法尼亚、哥伦比亚、斯坦福这样的私立大学，学业成绩好是基础，然而光靠这样的基础是缺少竞争力的。因为除了学术表现外，名牌大学还有其他一些考量，这些考量包括：学生在班级的的排名、学生申请信中反映出的学生素质和特质，教师的推荐信，学生参加的社务服务活动、领导能力和个人专长等。甚至像父母是否接受过大学教育、家庭收入状况、居住在城市还是农村这些家庭背景都会成为大学决定是否录取一名学生的因素。当然大学在这时的天平会向弱势学生倾斜。在同样条件下，父母没接受过高等教育、家庭收入低和居住在农村的学生会被优先录取。

可以说，美国的大多数大学会考虑按学生的学术水平高低的标准来录取学生，甚至包括一些著名的公立大学。根据2009年加州教育部门的统计，在加州大学入学标准当中，对学生入学几率影响最大的就是学生在高中时的平均成绩(GPA)。报考加州大学洛杉矶分校的高中生，如果GPA在4.0或以上时，录取率是47.5%，比该校当年平均录取率高出二十个百分点。但如果学生的GPA是在3.70和3.99之间的话，录取率便掉到了只有8%。加州大学尔湾分校2009年的录取率为42,3%，如果申请该校的高中生GPA在4.0或以上时，录取率是90.1%。但是如果学生的GPA是在3.30和3.69之间的话，录取率只有12.4%。

近期，美国总统奥巴马在访华之旅中，宣布在未来的几年中，美国政府将扩大对华学生交流的规模。随后出炉的美国留学生人口常年报告显示，中国09年留美人数激增21%，达9万8510人。其中到美国念普通学位的中国学生达到2万6000多人，相比之下，五年前只有约8000人，念研究院的中国学生多年来都保持在5万人左右。

对此，专家表示，09年中国学生参加SAT考试的人数比08年翻了一翻，在赴美留学人数上，中国现在仅次于榜首的印度。奥巴马来华访问的态度表明，美国必将将在留学政策方面对华有所松动，而且美国正在不断扩大对中国留学生的招收范围，其招生的领域从原来的以研究生为主，延伸至本科和高中。

同时，专家预测，中国赴美留学人数会有更大幅度的增加，按照现在的增长趋势，将有望超过印度，成为赴美留学最大输出国。据统计印度去年留美学生达到10万3260人，但增长速度远低于中国，只有9%。China is the second largest exporter of international students, second only to India. Among the graduate students in the United States, 5% are from China, and the number of American students coming to China has increased by 50% in the past five years. As the deputy consul of the Visa Section of the US Consulate, she suggested that students should pay attention to two aspects during the interview process. First, the financial side must have enough money to pay tuition and living expenses. On the other hand, there must be a reliable and realistic study plan. Brentwood Christian School is a private Christian school dedicated to educating students from Austin, Texas.

2017 American study abroad wants to enter a prestigious university, especially a private university like Harvard, Yale, Preston, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Stanford. The academic performance is good, but the foundation is lack of competitiveness. Because in addition to academic performance, there are other considerations in prestigious universities. These considerations include: the ranking of students in the class, the quality and traits of the students reflected in the student application letter, the recommendation letter from the teacher, the social service activities attended by the students, Leadership and personal expertise. Even family backgrounds such as whether a parent has received college education, family income status, living in a city or in the countryside can be a factor in the university's decision to enroll a student. Of course, the balance of the university at this time will be tilted towards the disadvantaged students. Under the same conditions, students who have not received higher education, have low family income, and live in rural areas are given priority.

It can be said that most universities in the United States will consider accepting students according to the academic standards of students, even some famous public universities. According to the statistics of the California Department of Education in 2009, among the University of California admission criteria, the most significant impact on student enrollment is the average grade (GPA) of students in high school. For high school students enrolled at UCLA, if the GPA is 4.0 or above, the admission rate is 47.5%, which is 20% higher than the school's average admission rate for the year. But if the student's GPA is between 3.70 and 3.99, the admission rate drops to only 8%. The admission rate of the University of California at Irvine in 2009 was 42.3%. If the GPA for high school students applying for the school is 4.0 or above, the admission rate is 90.1%. However, if the student's GPA is between 3.30 and 3.69, the acceptance rate is only 12.4%.

Recently, US President Barack Obama announced in his visit to China that in the next few years, the US government will expand the scale of exchanges with students in China. The subsequent annual report of the US student population shows that the number of Chinese students in the United States surged 21% in 2009 to reach 9,085. Among them, there are more than 26,000 Chinese students who have taken a general degree in the United States. By contrast, there were only about 8,000 people five years ago, and the number of Chinese students studying at the Institute has remained at around 50,000 for many years.

In this regard, experts said that the number of Chinese students taking the SAT in 2009 has doubled compared with that in 2008. In terms of the number of students studying in the United States, China is now second only to India. Obama’s visit to China shows that the United States will certainly loosen China’s policy of studying abroad, and the United States is expanding its scope of enrollment for Chinese students. The field of enrollment extends from graduate students to undergraduate and High school.

At the same time, experts predict that the number of Chinese students studying in the United States will increase even more. According to the current growth trend, it is expected to surpass India and become the largest exporter to study in the United States. According to statistics, India’s students in the United States reached 103,260 last year, but the growth rate is far lower than that of China, only 9%.
