SELENE: Can I help you?
TERRY: Yes. I am interested in applying for graduate school here.
SELENE: Alright. Do you have some specific questions?
TERRY: Not really. I am in Madison visiting a friend.
And I would like to go to school here too. So he told me to come to this office.
SELENE: Have you sent in an application already?
TERRY: No, I haven't.
SELENE: Well, I'm sorry to tell you,
but the deadline for applications has already passed.
TERRY: I'm sorry. What does that mean?
SELENE: That means it is already too late to apply for school this fall semester.
TERRY: Really?
SELENE: Yes. The Graduate School accepts no applications after January 29th.
And it is already February fifth.
So if you apply, you must apply to begin first semester next year.
TERRY: That is January next year. Yes?
SELENE: That's right.
TERRY: Alright. Well, can you tell me what I need in my application?
SELENE: All the information is included in the application packet.
TERRY: I'm sure it is. But could you tell me also?
I might not understand something in the packet information.
SELENE: All applicants to the graduate school must have three letters of recommendation.
They must have official university transcripts sent directly from their previous school.
TERRY: I can't send my transcripts myself?
SELENE: No. Your school must send them to us.
Also, all graduate students must have GRE or GMAT scores sent to us by the testing center.
TERRY: How much is the application fee for applying to graduate school?
SELENE: The application fee is $40.
TERRY: Alright. Give me one application packet please.
I'll take it back and start to fill it out.
SELENE: Here you are.
TERRY: Thank you.
思琳娜:有什么我能帮忙的吗?
泰瑞:是的,我很想申请这里的研究生院。
思琳娜:很好,你有什么特别的问题吗?
泰瑞:没有,我在麦迪逊拜访朋友。
我想要到这里上课,他告诉我到这间办公室来。
思琳娜:你寄申请表来了吗?
泰瑞:不,我还没。
思琳娜:嗯,我很抱歉地告诉你,
截止日期已经过去了。
泰瑞:我很抱歉。那是什么意思?
思琳娜:那意思就是要申请在秋季入学已经太晚了。
泰瑞:真的吗?
思琳娜:是的,研究生院在一月二十九日后停止接受申请表。
而现在已经是二月五日了。
所以你申请的话,你必须申请明年的第一个学期。
泰瑞:那是明年的一月,是吗?
思琳娜:没错。
泰瑞:好吧。嗯,你能告诉我在申请时需要做些什么吗?
思琳娜:所有的资料都包含在申请表的袋子里。
泰瑞:我确定是有的,但是你可以也告诉我好吗?
我或许并不了解一些在申请表袋里的资料。
思琳娜:所有申请研究生院的人都需要有三封推荐信。
他们也要让原学校寄来正式大学的成绩单。
泰瑞:我不能自己寄我的成绩单吗?
思琳娜:不能。你的学校必须要寄给我们。
还有,所有的研究生必需要有 GRE 或是 GMAT 的成绩,由考试中心寄给我们。
泰瑞:申请研究生院的申请费是多少?
思琳娜:申请费是四十美元。
泰瑞:好的,请给我一套申请表。
我带回去就开始填写。
思琳娜:这里就是。
泰瑞:谢谢你。
