如何申請美國研究所 NCTU EE Jia-Bin Huang E-Mail：jbhuang0604@gmail.com Part II Online Application Procedure 第二部份整理了部份學校的申請步驟(EECS相關領域)，希望讓初次接觸申請的同學也可以輕鬆上手，由於每間學校有各自的申請系統，甚至同校不同科系也有完全不一樣的申請流程)，資訊可能有些雜亂，分成兩個階段來討論，第一階段說明各學校所採用的系統和可能會遭遇到的問題(主要是推薦信管理)，第二階段則提醒某些需要二階段申請的學校科系的流程，如果你已經準備好上一個部份所描述的資料，你可以直接經由這部份的連結進行申請的動作。 Section 1. 申請系統介面分析及問題解決線上申請系統的介面基本上可以分成自行設計和向公司租借兩大類，自行設計申請系統介面的學校有： U Maryland http://www.gradschool.umd.edu/gss/admission.htm UCLA http://www.gradadmissions.ucla.edu/newapp/main.asp UCSD https://graduateapp.ucsd.edu/default.asp U Wisconsin-Madison https://www.gradsch.wisc.edu/eapp/eapp.pl 以下是系所專用的申請介面 CMU ECE https://www.ece.cmu.edu/prospective/graduate/application MIT EECS http://apply.eecs.mit.edu MIT EECS申請系統較特別的地方是其寄送推薦信Request的方式，首先在系統中填入推薦人的資料，繳錢寄出申請之後，系統並非直接寄Request Mail給推薦人，而是會寄三封標題為Instructions for letter of recommendation for YOUR NAME的信件，請你分別將每封信轉寄給三位老師，裡頭有連結可以供推薦人上傳推薦信。 UC Berkeley EECS https://gradadm.berkeley.edu/grdappl/welcome Berkeley的推薦信系統主要在第二階段的申請(見Section II)，submit申請之後過幾天會收到指示 Columbia EE&CS https://mice.cs.columbia.edu/recruit/index.php 介面簡單明瞭，填完資料寄送申請之後還是可以更改申請資料，申請的進度就在同一個網頁。向公司租借介面中常見的系統有 Embark, Applyyourself ApplyTexas, Applyweb四間以下說明各家的系統和各學校的注意事項 Embark http://apply.embark.com Princeton U https://apply.embark.com/Grad/Princeton/30/ Guide to Graduate Admission https://gradschool.princeton.edu/admission/applicants/guide/ Application Checklist http://apply.embark.com/Grad/Princeton/30/instr.asp?Instr=5&PDF=True U Michigan, Ann Arbor https://apply.embark.com/Grad/UMich/Rackham/ProgramA/36/ Application Checklist　 https://apply.embark.com/Grad/UMich/Rackham/ProgramA/38/Custom/instr/2007Checklist.pdf Apply to more than one program https://apply.embark.com/Grad/UMich/Rackham/ProgramA/38/multiappinstr.asp Submitting documentation and fees when applying to more than one graduate program https://umich-rackham.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/umich_rackham.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1608 Harvard U https://apply.embark.com/grad/Harvard/GSAS/24/ Caltech https://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/ Application Instructions Page 1 http://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/instr.asp?Instr=1&PDF=True Application Instructions Page 2 http://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/instr.asp?Instr=2&PDF=True Application Instructions Page 3 http://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/instr.asp?Instr=3&PDF=True Application Checklist http://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/instr.asp?Instr=4&PDF=True Application Deadlines http://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/instr.asp?Instr=5&PDF=True E-transcript Instructions http://apply.embark.com/grad/caltech/22/instr.asp?Instr=5&PDF=True Cornell U https://apply.embark.com/grad/cornell/24/ Application Instructions http://www.gradschool.cornell.edu/index.php?p=3 註冊：Embark系統用你的E-mail帳號當作使用者帳號，由你自行設定密碼，設定完後，此組帳號密碼便適用於所有Embark.com的申請系統資料上傳：系統裡有提供你上傳SOP、Resume、Writing Sample和Unofficial Transcript 的地方，所有你上傳的檔案，從各學校的申請系統都看的到(因為是同一個帳號)，所以在命名文件的時候要小心，不要把各學校的SOP搞混了。推薦信管理：當你填完部分的申請基本資料之後，你便可以到Recommendations這個分頁進行註冊推薦人的動作，每當你註冊完一位推薦人時系統便會根據你填的推薦人E-Mail發 Request Mail給你的推薦人，當推薦人由他所收到的Request Mail中的帳號密碼上傳他的推薦信之後，系統便會自動發通知信給你，你也可以到Embark系統中查看推薦信的狀態 Submitted(推薦人已寄出推薦信)或是Received(推薦人寄出推薦信且學校承認收到) 例外：Cornell U是Submit完Application之後才會寄Mail給推薦人(因為Cornell U大部分科系使用另一種推薦信管理系統)，當你submit你的申請資料之後，系統隔一天便會寄發 Request Mail給推薦人(而且會發E-Mail通知你系統已經寄發)，之後要追查推薦信狀態可以到 https://gaps.engineering.cornell.edu/index.cfm/gaps.frontPage 同樣用Embark的帳號密碼即可登入。推薦人收不到Request Mail，有幾種狀況 1. 推薦人不小心把信件刪除：你可以直接在Embark系統上做重發的動作(勾選推薦人的名字，按Resend)。 2. 推薦人信箱擋信：請推薦人加入notification@embark.com到通訊錄中，再Resend一次 3. 推薦人收不到且Deadline將近：寫信給Embark Support Center http://support.embark.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=531 提供你的基本資料和推薦人資料，處理時間約為1-2天 4. 還是都收不到：請推薦人提供其他比較不容易擋信的信箱(e.g. G-Mail)，再Resend一次 Submit Application之前，Embark系統會將你所填入的所有資料和文件整理成一份pdf檔，付錢上傳之前要再三確認自己的資料有沒有打錯或是超出字數被系統切掉(填住址時常會發生) Applyyourself http://app.applyyourself.com UIUC https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=uiuc-grad Stanford U https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=su-grad Purdue U https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=purduegrad 註冊：和Embark類似的申請帳號模式，註冊成功系統會寄兩封信裡頭各自有PIN和 password，到申請網頁便可以使用此帳號密碼登入。推薦信管理：Applyyourself的推薦信系統和Embark相同，都是填完推薦人的資料後系統會自動寄出Request Mail給推薦人，若推薦人向你反應沒有收到信，你可以在註冊推薦人的網頁裡按Resend鍵，如果發生擋信的情況，則請你的推薦人加入　 support@ApplyYourself.com到他的通訊錄中 Downloadable Form：這個分頁會提供PDF供申請者下載，列印填好之後寄紙本到學校，常見的Downloadable Form有 1. Recommendation Form 若你的推薦人無法用線上上傳推薦信，你可以在這邊下載該學校推薦信的格式，然後在按照學校規定的方式寄送，以下是Stanford U對於推薦信的描述 You must provide three letters and evaluations from faculty or others qualified to evaluate your potential for graduate study. At least one evaluation and letter should be from a faculty member at the last school you attended as a full-time student (unless you have been out of school for more than five years). Substitutions for faculty recommendations may include work associates or others who can comment on your academic potential for graduate work. Download the recommendation form ONLY if a recommender will not be submitting the letter and evaluation online. DO NOT send the downloaded form to a recommender if he or she will be using the online recommendation system. After downloading and printing the form, fill in the following information on the page: Your name. Department to which you are applying. Degree objective and term to which you are applying. Indicate at the bottom of the page whether you are waiving your right to see the recommendation. Recommenders must submit this form in addition to a letter of recommendation. Recommenders should seal their letters in letterhead envelopes if possible, sign across the seal, and mail them directly to the department. Be sure to provide your recommenders with the department address and inform them of the deadline. 2.Declaration & Certification of Finances 有些學校為了要加速發I-20 or DS-2019(申請F-1或J-1 Visa必備的東西)表格給你，有時會請你在申請前就寄發財力證明給學校，以下是UIUC對於Declaration & Certification of Finances的描述 In order for the Certificate of Visa Eligibility (Form I-20 or DS-2019) to be issued, it is necessary to submit complete and accurate information regarding your sources of financial support. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign requires this information in compliance with regulations set forth by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for all students planning to enter the United States under its auspices. You are required to submit current evidence that you will have at least as much money as is described below for the entire length of time you plan to study on this campus. Financial documents in any language other than English must be accompanied by an official English translation of each document. Financial support must be liquid assets such as savings or checking accounts. Investment accounts are not acceptable. The USCIS requires that you present evidence of sufficient funds for living expenses during the summer months, whether or not you intend to enroll in summer courses. This requires that you certify your summer funding to show that you will not be dependent upon summer employment. Authorization to work during the summer is seldom granted. Also, approval to work off-campus during the academic year is granted only under extraordinary circumstances. Consequently, you should not include employment, either part-time or full-time, during the academic year or summer months as an expected source of income. The current estimated cost of study at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is described below. Consulate officials frequently require the evidence of financial resources we are requesting you to present before a visa is granted. We, therefore, recommend that you make and maintain for your personal use copies of all documents submitted. We do not return or provide you with copies of these documents. 填表時你可以選擇你的經費來源和多寡，除了填好這張表格之外，你必須請銀行或是郵局開財力證明正本，然後附在這個表格後面。如果學校沒有這個要求的話，通常就是等你錄取之後，決定要去某間學校時再寄出就行了 ApplyTexas http://www.applytexas.org UT Austin https://www.applytexas.org/adappc/gen/c_start.WBX TAMU https://www.applytexas.org/adappc/gen/c_start.WBX 註冊：產生新的帳號之後，此後用此組帳號密碼便可以申請在德州的學校(e.g. UT Austin, TAMU) 推薦信管理：在系統裡頭填入推薦人的基本資料，當你submit你的申請之後，系統才會寄 request mail給你的推薦人(因此不要選在deadline前才寄出你的申請，要預留時間給推薦人上傳他們的推荐信) Educational Experience from the Beginning to the Present 申請德州學校都需要填這個從小到大的教育過程，以下是參考寫法 (Credit: PTT ID singchi) Year Year Year Age Class Level Type of School Certificates, Diplomas in schoolor(from)(thru) Degrees Earned 1st 1988 1989 7 1grade primary 2nd 1989 1990 8 2grade primary 3rd 1990 1991 9 3grade primary 4th 1991 1992 10 4grade primary 5th 1992 1993 11 5grade primary 6th 1993 1994 12 6grade primary Diploma 7th 1994 1995 13 7grade secondary(或 Jr. H.
