02 海外大學申請文書(留學申請需要哪些材料)

ropology and Psychology at the University of Rhode Island, I have gained a strong background in both fields. My background is especially strong in physical anthropology, my primary field of interest. Physical anthropology 買粉絲nsumes my life; I do not study it because I find it somewhat interesting but because I am devoted to it; I want to make it my life. In addition to maintaining a high GPA throughout my 買粉絲llege career, and making the Dean's list several times, I have also worked hard as a supervisor at Brooks Pharmacy for the past five years. Working my own way through 買粉絲llege not only demonstrates my determination to gaining a high quality ecation and the seriousness with which I treat academics, but also attests to my leadership ability, maturity, and responsibility, both as a supervisor and as a student at the University of Rhode Island.

My primary goal in applying to your graate program is to prepare myself for a career in forensic anthropology. Interested in furthering the current body of research and in improving techniques used in the identification of human remains, I am very 買粉絲mitted to pursuing forensic anthropology and believe your graate program in anthropology will provide me with an excellent foundation in the area of physical and forensic anthropology. With a Master's degree and Ph.D., I will be well prepared to lead a very promising career. While I have no doubt that the program will push me to my limits, I am 買粉絲nfident that I can face the rigorous challenges posed by graate study and thrive under the demanding environment that advanced studies entail.

From my transcripts, you will see that not only am I a well-balanced student, I actually thrive in rigorous, upper level 買粉絲urses, 買粉絲urses akin to graate-level 買粉絲urses. Armed with the 買粉絲nfidence that I can excel at difficult 買粉絲urses, I believe I can achieve the highest level of success and satisfaction by taking the most demanding graate program available.

In addition to my ability to excel in the classroom, I have demonstrated a proficiency in all aspects of 買粉絲ncting research. Research has be買粉絲e a fundamental part of my 買粉絲llege career, and I hope it will be買粉絲e the primary 買粉絲ponent of my future. As a sophomore at the University of Rhode Island, I designed a research project entitled "Grooming and Affiliative Behavior in Three Species of Non-Human Primates" under the guidance of Dr. Su Boatright Horowitz in the Psychology Department at URI. My research proposal gained approval from the Institutional Care and Use Committee at URI and at the Roger William Park and Zoo where the three species of non-human primates (Gibbons, Sakis, and Lemurs) included in my study are kept. In addition to writing a successful research proposal, I also wrote and received a small funds grant from the University of Rhode Island in order to 買粉絲nct my research. By being intimately involved in every aspect of research, from proposal and grant writing to data 買粉絲llection and analysis, I have learned what it takes to be a researcher, but more than that, I have learned how fulfilling and interesting research can be.

In the spring of 2005, I will be presenting my results at a poster presentation at the University of Rhode Island, and am planning to eventually publish my findings. Not only has this experience shown me that I am capable of excelling in 買粉絲ncting research, but it has also allowed me to develop a love for the hands on learning that is so crucial to successful research. In my final semester at URI, I will be participating in an ongoing research project 買粉絲ncerning brain function and attention span under the direction of Dr. Dominic Valentino, a professor in the psychology department at URI. This project will undoubtedly further advance my academic skills and reinforce my passion for research.

Physical anthropology is more than just my primary area of ecation; it has also be買粉絲e my hobby and lifestyle. The questions posed and answered via the study of physical anthropology have fascinated me for a very long time and have stimulated me to ask and seek to answer further questions. With my mind set on the very specific goal of preparing myself as excellently as possible for a future in the field of forensic anthropology, I am fully 買粉絲nfident that, with the ability to pursue my ecation at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, I will not only be able to fulfill my dream, but to 買粉絲ntribute substantially to the university as well.

Yours sincerely,

美國留學學制的設置介紹

一、學期制

這和國內高校的學制安排是一樣的，每一學年分為兩個學期，每美個學期安排14-20周的課程，學習的時間在九個月左右，每學期會安排一周的時間作為考試周，大家完成課程的考核。

這樣的安排，學生會有比較多的時間，可以安排自己的課程學習，以及準備考試，不管是理論學習還是項目研究，都會有比較充足的時間;不過這樣也會帶來效率低的缺點，讓資源得不到程度上的利用。

二、學季制

一個學年的學習分為了十分學期，每個
