First, the application form. (Some schools attach scholarship application forms or department application forms, some of which are in duplicate). There are many places in the application form to be capitalized, so you should pay attention when filling it out. Generally, in addition to the basic personal information, there are some entrepreneurial time, so write the admission time. Is it the first time to apply, where you are a citizen (generally choose ASIA/PACIFIC), and do you want money (of course! ), can you come if you don't have money (it depends on your personal situation. This one doesn't affect the admission. Even if you don't have money, he will give you an AD, and he won't refuse you directly, but it's no different from refusing you. I have a lot of experience in accepting AD. . Hehe), some schools will also ask you which research direction you want to focus on. The application form can also be filled in with ACOBAT, especially the downloaded one, which is very convenient to fill out and print out, and saves the effort of rewriting because of mistakes.
second, the application fee. There are three ways to pay the application fee. One way is to pay by credit card, usually at the end of online application. Of course, some people like BRANDEIS and RUTGERS can fill in the number and expiration date of the credit card when applying for paper and send it to the school to deduct it there. The other way is to make a draft. Personally, if you can pay by credit card, don't do it, because there are transaction costs. China Bank is 22 yuan/Zhang.
third, letters of recommendation. I think everyone knows that basically all schools in the United States need to have their own letters of recommendation, which is also the most troublesome problem for applicants. It is nothing more than two points: First, it is very annoying to find a teacher to write a letter of recommendation, and he has to fill out a recommendation form; Second, the school for application has not been determined, and the teacher has to fill it out several times. This is not an easy thing either.
In addition, there are other expenses, which mainly include notary fees, medical examination fees, visa fees, school application fees, school registration fees, tuition fees, living expenses and travel expenses, etc., and tuition fees and living expenses account for most of all expenses. In addition, factors such as the exchange rate between RMB and foreign currency and inflation need to be considered. Therefore, studying abroad also requires a lot of expenses.
