范例2 索取研究生入学表格(建筑与土木专业)
Department of Architecture Engineering Tsinghua University Beijing 100084 China
I would be most grateful if you would send me details of post graduate study facilities or scholarships in civil engineering which Columbia University may be offering to student from overseas. I majored in architecture and graduated from Tsinghua University in 1989. I have studied English for more than 6 years up to intermediate level. If any scholarships are available, I would appreciate it if you would send me the necessary application forms.
Sincerely, Xie Dong
索取入学及奖学金表格是申请程序的第一步,这一步比较简单容易。只要学校初选名单确定下来,便可发函索取表格。索取申请表格的信函格式与商业书信大致相同。这类申请信函最好寄到单位,而不要写给个人,以免因工作调动而耽搁。以美国大学为例,申请的受理单位可能有以下几种: 1. 由Office of Admissions统一受理一切入学申请函件,包括大学部与研究生院; 2. 由Office of the Registrar 受理,权限同1; 3. 由Office of Student Service受理,权限同1; 4. 由Office of Foreign Student Advisor 受理国外学生入学申请函件; 5. 由Office of Foreign Admissions 或Office of International Scholars 受理 国外学生入学申请函件; 6. 由Graduate School, Graduate College 或Office of Graduate Studies 受理研究生院的入学申请函件;而Office of Admissions 受理本科部的申请; 7. 由各所属分院(如College of Eng.) 分别受理入学申请信件,也有很多学校先由Office of Admissions 接受申请,供给所需表格,然后一切通信改由各分院负责,大的学校大多采用这种方式,因为他们每年受理的申请函件高达上万件。 有的申请人对所报学校可能不够了解。这样,如果申请读本科,就应写信给Officeof Admissions; 如果申请读研究生,就应写信给Office of Graduate Admissions.这种写法的信件肯定能到达承办人的手中,称呼的方法可采用下列二种方式之一: (1) Director Office of Admissions Dear sir:
(2) Office of Admissions Dear Sirs:
顺便提一下,在选择学校时,应考虑各种利弊因素。其中包括地理位置、学科设置、教学质量、学校规模、录取标准、费用高低、资助条件、住房情况、服务设施等。
