加州大學(xué)圣塔芭芭拉分校語言成績要求

PS The Statement of Purpose (SOP) should also include your goals and how the Bren School will help you to achieve them, and what led you to seek a career in the environmental field. The SOP should outline past experiences (not necessarily only in academics) and how they have prepared you to succeed in a rigorous graduate program. The SOP should be 1-2 pages in length. Formatting style (e.g., line spacing, typeface, or font size) is up to the discretion of the applicant. This document should be uploaded directly to the UCSB e-application. GPA S/he must have earned an undergraduate cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale for undergraduate or post-graduate studies. In rare cases, the school can petition the Graduate Division to admit a student who has a GPA that is slightly below 3.0 if the rest of the application is extremely strong and unusual circumstances may have contributed to the lower undergraduate GPA. CV Resume or Curriculum Vitae - REQUIRED Work experience in a professional capacity is highly valued and significantly strengthens your application. Although experience in the environmental field suggests that your goals are well matched to the Bren School, we also highly value experience in other professional settings, provided your Statement of Purpose clearly conveys your reasons for embarking on a new environmentally related career path and your enthusiasm and commitment for doing so. Applicants should include all relevant academic, work, volunteer, or leadership experience. Formatting style (e.g., line spacing, typeface, and font size) is up to the discretion of the applicant. Fee Applications are not processed until this is received. All applications require a non-refundable application fee of $105 for domestic applicants and $125 for international applicants. This fee can be paid by credit card or with a check/money order using the Check/Money Order Submission Form found on the last page of the application. A limited number of application fee waivers are available to qualified U.S. citizens and permanent residents who demonstrate evidence of financial need or proof of participation in an undergraduate research program. McNair Scholars and Project 1000 applicants are among those eligible. Fee waivers are not available to international applicants. To apply for a fee waiver begin an online application at www.graddiv.ucsb.edu/eapp. Within your application click on the Payment Information tab and scroll-down to the fee waiver information. Submit your request online by selecting the option relevant to you and uploading your supporting documentation. You must submit your fee waiver request at least two weeks before the application deadline. Do not submit a fee waiver request the day before the application deadline, it will not be processed and your application will not be reviewed. RL Students are required to provide a minimum of three letters of recommendation (maximum of four) as part of their application package. We would appreciate your recommenders' personal impressions of your intellectual ability, aptitude in research, and professional skill. Please ask your recommenders to comment on your character, quality of previous work, and promise of productive scholarship, among other important aspects. The most successful letters of recommendation have been ones where the recommender clearly understood the student's previous professional and academic accomplishments, could comment on the student's preparedness for graduate-level studies, and could make a connection between the student's future goals and the MESM program. Letters of recommendation should be uploaded electronically to an applicant's online application directly by the recommenders. For this process to happen, you will be asked to supply the name, email address, job title, and and current institution or organization name of each recommender. Once this information is supplied, the online application will generate an automated email to the recommenders, prompting them each to upload a letter on your behalf. If you are using a Letter Service (such as Interfolio or a university career center) to submit one or more letters, you will be able to indicate this information within the recommender profile. UCSB needs a rating on our rating scale from each recommender you indicate. If the letter will come from a letter service, we will only request the necessary rating from your recommender. It is beneficial if an applicant can provide at least one letter from a faculty member who is familiar with his or her academic abilities. We realize that this may be difficult for applicants who have been out of school for a number of years. If this is not possible, students are requested to provide letters from professionals in supervisory or managerial roles who can attest to their scholarly ability and potential, creativity, dedication, and work performance, among other attributes. Transcript All applicants will be required to upload transcripts to their application from all institutions they attended. These uploaded transcripts are required to be official documents created by the university but can include "unofficial" transcripts that are generated by an online student portal, assuming the transcripts include the name of the student, the institution, the grades, and a grading scale. Please visit the UCSB Graduate Division's How to Apply page for more tips on uploading transcripts to your graduate application. Applicants who are admitted and submit a positive Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) with UCSB will be required to send official transcripts directly from the institution(s) attended to the UCSB Graduate Division. The only exception is for admits who attended UCSB as an undergraduate, in which case official transcripts are not required since UCSB can verify academic records using their student data-tracking systems.
