咨询申请手续 Inquire About Applying Procedures

Bob: How do I to an American university?

Ann: You should go to the library to find some information about American universities,and write to the Admission Office,Then the Admission Office will send you Application Forms and other related marerials.From experience, many applicants write to several universities instead of just one.

Bob: I was told that it took a lot of time and effort to apply.

Ann: That is true. I'll list for you the requirements of almost all the universities. First of all, you need official transcripts of your undergraduate work, three letters of recommendation from your professors who know your competence, and the official TOEFL score. Then you need a financial guarantee, and an application fee of $25.

Bob: What's to come next?

Ann: If they agree to enroll you, they'll send you a TAP-66 Form. With TAP-66, you can apply for a passport from our government and then apply for a visa from the US Embassy in Beijing.

Bob: How long will it take to go over all the procedures?

Ann: From three to six months if everything goes well.

Bob: Thank you. I appreciate all your help.

Ann: You're welcome. Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
