"耶魯已經走過了 300多年的歷程,我們的目標是將其建設成一所真正的國際化大學--不僅僅只為美國,同時也為全世界培養領導者,并拓展知識的疆域。"這是耶魯大學的現任校長--理查德·萊文的一段講話,很好地詮釋了耶魯的開放精神。耶魯也因其逐年增長的國際學生人數而感到驕傲,他們使得校園多樣化并為其增添了活力。了解了這么多,我猜想如你一般的人才一定已經迫不及待地想開啟一趟耶魯學術之旅了吧!那就趕快跟隨我們一道來看看你都需要哪些申請材料吧!

Material needed for application for a master degree is a bit different from those required for a bachelor degree: Firstly, a 500 to 1000-word personal statement of purpose should be prepared in advance. The statement concerns your past work, preparation for the intended field of study, relevant background and interests, academic plans,and career. It should be used to describe your reasons for applying to the particular Yale department or program. This statement may assist the admissions committee in evaluating your aptitude and motivation for graduate study.
碩士學位所需的申請材料與學士學位的申請材料有所不同。首先,你要事先準備好一份500到1000字的個人陳述。這份個人陳述應該涵蓋你過去的研究經歷、你為申請專業所作的準備工作、相關的背景及興趣,學術計劃及成就。同時你應在陳述中說明你申請某個特定院系或是項目的原因。這份個人陳述也有助于招生委員會評估你的學習能力和學習動機。
Secondly, recommendations by your recommenders are required. It is highly advised that you ask for high influential figures in your research area to do you a favor. Their approval would be a credit to you.
第二,由推薦人寫的推薦信是申請中必不可少的材料。我們強烈建議申請者請所學專業領域中非常有影響力的學者為你寫推薦信,因為他們的推薦會為你的申請加分。
Thirdly, a transcript or academic record which keeps a record of your scores on all the subjects at university is required. As it will give the school officials who are responsible for your admission a hint, they can judge your potentials in your interest field from your previous experiences.
第三,申請者需要準備一份成績報告單或是學習成績單,這上面記錄著你大學期間的各科成績。同時,它會給負責錄取的工作人員一些啟示,他們可以通過你曾經的學習經歷來判斷你在預錄取專業的學習潛能。
Finally come the standardized examinations. We have Graduate Record Examination (GRE),Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and International English Language Test System (IELTS) available ^ for your choice. And one of them is required for most cases. There is no preference on them. Your choice of which to take should totally be based upon the requirement of the department you are applying for.
最后一項申請條件是標準化考試的成績。你可以選擇參加GRE、托福或是雅思中的任何一種測試,因為大多數情況下,每個學院或專業對標準化考試的成績還是有要求的。這三種標準化測試沒有優劣之分。到底該選擇參加哪種考試完全取決于你所申請專業的具體要求。
Now since we have familiarized you with the credentials, why not take actions at once and get yourself well prepared to realize you dream at Yale?
