咨询，不是—给你答案，告诉你哪些学校可以

咨询，仅是—提供解决问题的有效方法与思路

服务，才是—付费，购买时间、经验、获得具体信息

 

以这个问题为例

“有美国大学学位，申请研究生，要不要考托福？”

 

咨询阶段—解决思路：

1. 在学校的官网上研究相关信息，看是否有明确的答案

2. 如果网上没有确定的信息，则要发邮件询问

3. 邮件还不确定的，直接电话

    

DIY的学生，用此方法自己去工作，找到答案

 

具体服务—确定答案：

1. 代替学生工作，在官网做研究

2. 将条理清晰的邮件发给能给出答案的人

3. 拟好电话提纲，打给可以解答的负责人

4. 网申时，再次确认之前信息

5. 申请后，跟踪状态过程中，最后核实 

 

如下专业与学校是之前的服务，分享给大家

看着信息，也不是一目了然，还需做分析，更要一步步核实，需要经验与专业度，而这正是服务的价值所在

只是几个典型的，太多了，不能全部分享。。

TOEFL/IELTSWaiver Policy

• To be eligible for aTOEFL/IELTS waiver, you must have studied fulltime for two years or more at acollege or university where the sole language of instruction is English and ina country where English is the primary spoken language. The two years of studymust be completed prior to application submission.

• If you believe youqualify for a TOEFL/IELTS waiver based on the above criteria, upload a writtenrequest for the waiver in the Additional Information section of your onlineapplication. In your request, be sure to state where you completed the two-yearstudy requirement. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we willnot examine, confirm the status of, or grant any waiver requests prior toextending an offer of admission.

• Keep in mind that anyadmitted international student whose first language is not English must takeoral and written Englishplacement exams conducted by the English for InternationalStudents program at the beginning of the term of matriculation. This isrequired regardless of whether a TOEFL/IELTS waiver is granted.

 

NOTE: Westrongly encourage all applicants whose first language is not English to takeeither the TOEFL or the IELTS test before applying to The Graduate School, evenif they meet the TOEFL/IELTS waiver criteria. The exam results can providevital information to an applicant and The Graduate School regarding thestrength of an applicant’s academic English skills. In addition, many graduatedepartments and programs consider TOEFL and IELTS scores a critical factorduring the application review process. Contact your department or program ofinterest to determine how or whether TOEFL and IELTS scores factor into theirapplication review.
