Do I need to take a standardized test to apply to graduate school?

Most graduate schools require that you take a standardized test (MCAT, LSAT, GRE, etc.) and that you send in your scores as part of your application. 许多专业预科课程的学生应该在大三的春季参加任何要求的标准化考试. 然而, 你参加考试的确切时间取决于你的研究生院申请截止日期和考试提供时间. Check with the testing agency and with your graduate schools to see which test they require, 以及他们收到成绩的最后期限. Note that it takes some time for the testing agency to send your scores to the schools. 

“滚动录取”是什么意思?

滚动录取制度是指，招生委员会在收到申请后，先审查申请，然后录取候选人. 不采用滚动录取的研究生院会在截止日期前审查所有申请, 然后从整个池子里录取申请者. If the schools you are applying to use a rolling admissions process, 好用的足球外围app强烈建议你在申请周期开始后尽早提交申请. This gives you the best chance at admission and financial aid.

Is there any financial assistance available to help me cover testing and application fees?

Many tests offer fee reimbursement options for students who qualify. Check the “fees” section of each test website to find more information, 如果你需要帮助申请适当的豁免，请联系职业发展中心.
