1.网申系统简介
随着网络时代的发展,基本上所有的院校都有自己的网上申请系统,目前学校常用的由四大网申系统,接下来我们挨个介绍一下。第一个是Apply yourself 系统。这是目前最常用的网申系统,几乎有一多半的学校都是使用的这个系统。简单明了,任何填错填漏的信息只要check一下就有详细的定位链接提示;支持文件的上传(如CV、PS、成绩单等)会自动转换成PDF格式(可预览结果);推荐信这一块做的最好,除了填写推荐人信息稍显复杂之外,最大的优点是在submitted之前(也是online付申请费之前)就可以发出网推email到推荐人指定的信箱(我没有见到有要求必须是.edu的推荐信箱),而且可以很方便地进行修改、删除更换和重新发送网推email给推荐人。
第二个是Embark系统,这个系统使用的不是太多,和apply yourself的功能十分接近,只是界面上有差别,对于推荐信的处理也几乎是完全一样的,而且推荐人信息的填写更简洁。
第三个是Apply Web系统,这个系统使用仅次于Embark系统。但是界面采用翻页方式,访问速度慢,优点是如果同时有几所这个系统的学校,就可以在统一界面下管理,不需要频繁地登陆帐号和密码。最大的缺点是对于推荐信的处理,必须submitted和付费之后才可以发网推推荐email,这样带来一定的不确定性,而且没法修改和调整。第四个是Apply Texas系统,德州的公立大学都采用这个系统,没有check功能,submitted之前如果有错,系统并不明确指向,让你花很长时间去检查。最麻烦的是推荐信的处理,网申的话在付费提交之后,系统会通过电子邮件发一个UIN和Net ID给你(据说这个过程可能最长达数周以上),然后你凭这个登陆到另外一个网上推荐人系统处理推荐信。所以第四个BUG多,不合适。

To XX it may concern:
As the professor of the XX University of Finance and Economics, I’m glad to have this great opportunity to recommend one of my excellent students, XXX, for acceptance into your prodigious university and I believe that she can do well in your program.
I got to know Miss XXX in 2016 when I taught her ‘the Business Science of the Commercial Bank’. As her teacher, I was deeply impressed by her outstanding performance in academic study and how diligent she is. She always gets a good score in my class and was always active. She is not those stereotype Chinese student who feared to raise queries, because when she has questions, she wouldn’t be afraid to ask. She likes sharing her new ideas with her classmates, and her interesting and unique views surprise me every time.
What’s more, her leadership capabilities also impressed me a lot. I’ve divided the class into different teams in the course, asking them to investigate the history of commercial banks and present their understandings of the bank managing development trend by group in two weeks. The theme of the task is sprawling, I want testing their comprehensive abilities through it, which including the ability to search and integrate knowledge, the ability of analyzing, and of course the ability to cooperate. As the leader of her team, Miss CHEN arranged the works in good order, clearly summarized and categorized the materials they got, combining her intern experience in China Construction Bank into it and gave us a great presentation.
She told me her expectations of becoming a financier and the strong desire of being admitted to your prestigious university. According to all the things I know about her, I’m pretty sure that your school would be her best choice to help her realize her dream.
Thus, I introduce her to you without any reservation.
Sincerely yours,
Professor XXX
