从别的地方下的, 对和我一样不在行的会有点帮助. 呵呵, 看看吧!
answers to FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1 about financial statement

generally speaking
We donot need to fill in this form
and even we donot need to send them back to the US schools

if you still worry about the completence of your application materials
then you can send this form unfilled back and attach a letter as below

To whom it may concern
Because i have not enough money to afford the living and studying cost there in your school , nor can i find a sponsor who can provide me with enough fund. I leave this form blank.
XXX

(NOTE: I did write such a letter, but my schoolmates think it foolish )

also if you apply for MBA program
then you should have enough money and should get the Bank Statement

(about bank statement I have no idea
hope who knows it can reply this post to tell others)
for more information :

2 the seal of the transcript

Usually your Chinese school should have official format for the transcript
that is you cannot change anything in that transcript
cannot add so-called GPA in it
and after put the transcript in the envelope
be sure to get official stamps on both the seals

3 how to write RL and get the signature easily
well, if your prof donot know Englsih and allow you to write RL yourself and then he will give you the signature
you can do as follows :
a. type the RL into the computer || print it out || get the signature of your professors.
b. fill those RL forms in by using ACROBAT (full version not reader!!!) || print out || prof sign it
c if you donot know how to use ACROBAT
then do as what I did :

打印一定数量的信密封, 找老师签字(确保老师知道他推荐过你)
推荐表格请同学填写.签字
然后再把推荐信打印,请同学签字(为了保证字体的一致!!!, 另外找三个不同的同学写三封不同的信呵呵)
把推荐信和表格放在一个信封,密封相应的同学签字

4 acrobat

note :
I didnot try a part of the information in this post
so maybe there are some website not wroking well
or some FTP are only open in a short period of time
so try as more as you can to download ACROBAT (4.0 is enough for us)

5 SSN... and Alien Number ......
we donot have them now
so donot be disturbed by them
leave it blank if you have to fill it in

6 GPA calculation
we are alsways worried about the GPA
maybe the most important factor towards our application

how to calculate ?
the answer is
we donot need to calculate ourselves
even if you calculate it , it is useless
the US school have their own policy about it
and surely they know what is the difference between 60 and 90 on a 100 scale
maybe you have to give one when you fill in the application form
then use this formula average score * 4.0 /100
I think it is the best method for us

7 associate/assistant/full professor
assiatant prof
they are useless to us
visiting prof are no use at all

associate prof and full prof are important in any dept
if you want to 套词 , then 找他们

9 How ask ETS to send T/G score by phone/fax/mail?
I have no idea either
waiting for others' help.....

10 关于寄材料

you can send all the materials to the admissions office
but those such as RL be sure to write the address of the Dept clearly
so those the officers in admissions office will deliver them to the dept for you with your other materials

about this question
Bellie928 said as below :

"i don't think it's a good idea to send the materials to one place. If every applicant do like this, the department will become irritated. So do as the school tells you. send the materials separately."

http://www.gter.net/bbs/showthread....&threadid=55253

but I still think that you can do as what I mentioned above
reasons:

在我所知道的几个大学里
每个系都有许多的信箱
其中的一个就是校内邮箱
只要有什么校内的信件
比如 admissions office --->>> dept of math
那些工作人员就会很容易的把信放到那个邮箱
每天两次,会有特定的工作人员取信,分发.....
所以不会给别人造成麻烦
我个人也不认为系里的秘书会发怒
因为材料(包括推荐信)是一起到达的
对她来说更方便
仅供参考

11 in what capacity || how long // how well you know this applicant
the model is

I have kinown the applicant for ------------(length of time in months/years), as[] an undergraduate student, [] graduate student, [] other(please specify)------

I have served as the applicant's [] department chair, [] major advisor, [] teacher in only one class, [] other (please specify)

12 网申有哪些材料仍然要通过邮寄的？

http://www.gter.net/bbs/showthread....&threadid=40225

13 没有学分制怎么算GPA

#1,#2,#3,表示的是各个课程的学时数
对应的分数用*1，*2，*3....，表示
平均分average =#1x*1+#2x*2+#3x*3+..../(#1+#2+#3+。。。）
估算gpa=averageX4/100

14 关于字体问题

Times New Roman is the standard
if you want a smaller font, Garamond

15 some US学校要求成绩单由学校直接寄给他们

even in this case
you can still 与申请材料一起寄
and the transcript are still considered valid

we will update it as frequently as possible!!

hehe, where did you get it ?? not from here?

http://www.gter.net/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54540

常函数和指数函数e的x次方走在街上，远远看到微分算子，
常函数吓得慌忙躲藏，说：“被它微分一下，我就什么都没有啦！”
指数函数不慌不忙道：“它可不能把我怎么样，我是e的x次方！”
指数函数与微分算子相遇。
指数函数自我介绍道：“你好，我是e的x次方。”
微分算子道：“你好，我是‘d/dy！’

Oops, I did not notice the serious stuff under 加菲熊's poster that I need to detail the author's name. I just said "从别的地方下的", it seems that is not enough. Say sorry to Daj . You know, ITIS a good stuff so I posted it here, then the guys here , whom it will also be helpful to, do not need to search it like me. I really took time to find it. Anyway, just want to say sorry.

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!
