今天的這段對話,在討論研究院申請程序,
很多人會選擇進入研究院,那么申請進入研究院有哪些程序
來聽今天的講解:
A: So, Nydja, you actually just got into graduate school. So you know all about the application process.
妮迪亞,你剛上研究院。那你一定知道申請程序。
B: Yes, that's correct. I just got into grad school. I study International Relations. The process for this school wasn't too tedious. It didn't require a GRE or any long essays or too many references. The other schools that I was considering required the tests. High test scores. An application to be submitted three, four months in advance, so the process can be pretty tedious.
對,沒錯。我剛進入研究院。我學(xué)的專業(yè)是國際關(guān)系。我念的這所學(xué)校申請程序并不是太麻煩。不需要GRE分數(shù),也不需要長篇論文,不需要太多的介紹書。我之前考慮的另一所學(xué)校就對考試分數(shù)有要求。必須要考高分。而且要提前三至四個月提交申請,這種申請程序就太麻煩了。
A: Now, each time that you applied, did you have to pay an application fee?
那每次申請都要交申請費嗎?
B: Yes, some colleges I was looking at upwards of a hundred and fifty dollars. This one was less expensive. It's a smaller school.
對,我之前考慮的一些大學(xué)申請費高達150美元。我上的這所學(xué)校申請費要便宜的多。這是一所小學(xué)校。
A: Wow! A hundred and fifty dollars!
哇!150美元!
B: Yes.
對。
A: So that limits how many schools you can apply to?
所以這限制了你申請學(xué)校的數(shù)量嗎?
B: Yeah, depending on your funds, so I actually like this program and despite having researched everything else, I chose to stick with this one. I only applied for one and they let me in.
對,申請數(shù)量取決于你的資金,我很喜歡這個項目,雖然我研究了很多,但我選擇只申請一所學(xué)校。我只申請了一所學(xué)校,而且這所學(xué)校錄取我了。
A: Oh, so you just went solo?
哦,你只申請了一個?
B: Yeah, I did. I did. I looked at this college, their plan for international travel and I fell in love so nowhere else had this program.
對,沒錯。我研究了一下這所大學(xué),他們有國際旅行的計劃,我非常喜歡這個計劃,而其他學(xué)校沒有這種計劃。
A: Yeah, what's the school?
好,你上的是什么學(xué)校?
B: Webster University. The International Relations program.
韋伯斯特大學(xué)。國際關(guān)系項目。
A: And where is it?
這所學(xué)校在哪里?
B: It's in Bangkok.
在曼谷。
A: So, you said that for your program, you didn't have to take a test, like the GRE ?
你剛才說這個項目不用參加GRE考試,對吧?
B: No, I did not have to take the GRE. No, I haven't taken it yet.
對,我不用參加GRE考試。我還沒有考GRE。
A: Why?
為什么?
B: Cause, I'm sure it has a math component that I don't want to have to worry about.
GRE里面有數(shù)學(xué)題,可是我不想為這個擔(dān)心。
A: You're not a math person?
你不擅長數(shù)學(xué)?
B: No, I'm not.
對,我不擅長。
A: So the GRE is what, just math and language?
GRE考試包括數(shù)學(xué)考試和語言考試?
B: You know I'm not really sure. I know it's kind of like the SAT. They want to look at how ... what is your potential when you get to grad school, so I think it does have maybe a composition section, you know, critical thinking, math analysis questions with numbers.
我也不太清楚。我知道GRE考試和SAT考試類似。這類考試的目的是測試你在研究院的潛力,我認為考試里可能有需要進行批判性思考的作文還有數(shù)學(xué)分析題。
