回复: 图书馆专业申请和就业形势指南
向楼主汇报最新进展:
今早去新东方视听,预备报新托福强化班,学费不菲,俩半月1790刀。效果好不好,只有天知道。如果报麦大英语班,共6级(一年),1900刀/级,全念下来绝对是天文数字了。
我看了东亚2008年度招生简章,发现语言要求没变,但statement难度提高了一大截,更加侧重考察报考人的学术能力。因英语烂,怕理解有误,现将该段文字翻成中文,请楼主指正。
The research statement (approximately 500 words for Master's and 5 pages for Ph.D.)should indicate potential supervisor, the field in which the applicant wishes to pursue, and the reasons for applying to the program. A description of the proposed research project, with brief bibliography, should be included.[研究申请(硕士500字,博士5页)应指明可能的论文导师,申请人希望研究的领域,以及申请该专业的缘由。同时提交一份研究计划,附列主要参考书目]
另,我听新东方人介绍,如今都改新托福了(他们的课就是针对ETS),而麦大语言要求仍然是老托福或机考,或雅思,不可以考新托福?需多少分呢?请楼主指点。
