在中国申请比在美国申请难吗？

beyond5

请问有经验的朋友，对于一个中国人在国内申请的是不是比人在美国申请难度要大？ 似乎听说很多学校对于中国来的申请专门归为一类。不知道如果人在美国申请是不是容易一些？

谢谢！

在美国如果有绿卡就不一样，否则差不多。

人在美国的好处是：你可以做校园参观，和老师、招生委员以及在读学生交流来确认这个项目是否适合你。你可能会得到很多一手信息，从而帮你做出判断，这样你的essay写得会非常有的放矢。

每个学校在秋天都会有各种招生活动帮助未来的学生了解他们的项目，多参加这类项目，让别人认识你了解你，肯定会大大提高你的录取概率。而学校也会认为你的决定和选择是经过慎重考虑的。而一些你潜在的短板，也许通过交流沟通，会提升接受的可能。

当然，人在美国，不是就一定万事大吉。你有这些机会，看你如何把握。

在美国方便很多
考试，申请，签证，等等，都轻松些
但是，如果从国内来美国的时候什么都没准备好，比如成绩单，推荐信，就这么空手来的话
那又得委托国内人帮你搞，这就是个麻烦

Hey there!  This is a common misconception, and yet another area where the admissions committees often will not tell you the full truth. To say that “it is better to be Chinese and apply from the US” is an overstatement.  It is an oversimplification of the truth.  In fact, schools would love it if you have traveled the world, and have been to the US.  So if you apply from the US, this would indicate that you do have a more international background.  Most likely, you are more comfortable being in the US, speaking with native US speakers, etc.  But that does not mean that your chances are simply better if you apply from the US.  Schools just want to know that you have a global outlook—and coming from the US, you will have an easier time proving that.  But if you have spent time abroad, or in the US—and now you find yourself in China, you will be just fine. We work with countless Chinese people (in China!) every year, and they get into all the top schools in the world, including HBS, Stanford, and Wharton etc.  There is no statistical advantage, from our dataset of clients each year, to being located in the US.

I hope this is helpful—and good luck!
