Here's how to fill out the application form of an American university. I hope it will help you!
① Deadline for application. First of all, be sure to see the application deadline clearly. The deadline for regular application in most schools is 1, and the deadline for early application is 1 1. However, some schools, such as Stanford University, have advanced the deadline for regular application to 65438+February 15, and the deadline for early application is 65438+1October 25th. There are also some universities whose application deadlines are very late and can even be postponed to April-May.
② Basic information of the application form. The application form of each university is a bound volume. The application form that needs to be filled out by yourself is divided into two parts, the first part is basic information, and the second part is comprehensive information.
In the process of filling out, the so-called Basic information? It's not that simple. Except your name, nickname, gender, age, address, phone number, email, etc. , as well as a variety of test scores, academic interests, career orientation, race and other information. You even need to fill in when your parents studied in what university or graduate school, what degree they got, whether they got married, separated or divorced, where they live now, what occupation they are engaged in and what position they hold.
③ Comprehensive information of the application form. The highlight of the application form is the comprehensive information in the second part. The first item is often academic honor. Extracurricular activities, voluntary activities, family activities and hobbies are very extensive. You should understand the intention of American universities: study is the first basic condition, and various social activities and hobbies can better reflect the applicant's personality, specialty, energy and ability to arrange time reasonably.
④ Work experience of the application form. Next, there are several rows of tables, which are divided into the nature of work, employer, working date, working hours per week and so on. Finally, there are a few blank lines for you to use to describe which of the above tasks is of the greatest significance to you and explain the reasons.
⑤ Additional materials of the application form. In addition, we should pay attention to whether we can send supplementary materials. Almost all schools allow applicants to submit materials other than the application form. Related majors in many schools accept copies, photos and tapes of various works of art, as well as academic papers and other additional materials that applicants wish to submit. For example, due to limited space, the application form cannot reflect the overall situation. Therefore, extra materials should be carefully prepared.
Generally speaking, additional materials consist of academic honors, work experience and experimental reports. If you have won many awards in various competitions in the country, city and district, you can make dozens of honors in mathematics, chemistry, English, composition and calligraphy competitions into exquisite tables according to the discipline order, indicating the date, name, award-winning grade and awarding unit of the competition, and attach copies of various honorary certificates.
Secondly, list your work experience and published works in detail. In addition, translate your best experimental report into English. In short, these are things that can't be written or reflected on the application form. All schools that are allowed to send additional materials should send one set.
To sum up, an application form for studying in the United States includes the application deadline, basic information, comprehensive information, work experience, additional materials and so on. Applicants must fill in the form carefully.
