Dear _,
Although I pursued an academic rather than creative path in school, I have always been fascinated by the patterns that occur in art, architecture and the natural world, and drawing and painting have heightened my appreciation of them. Creating art, whether it is realistic or abstract, has helped me to see the world more clearly.
In October 20_ I began studying Classics and Modern Languages at Oxford University, but I had to leave in my first term as the problems my dyspraxia caused me were more severe than anticipated and I struggled to cope with day-to-day living and developed mental health problems. Studying this course would give me an opportunity to get back into Higher Education and to learn more about something which has always interested me.
Although I have no formal qualifications in art, I have kept up my passion for it outside the curriculum. My favourite material to work with is charcoal, as I find it helps me to portray texture better than any other material, although I also enjoy working with paints, pencil, collage and I have recently begun to develop an interest in tapestry and relish the opportunity to explore new media which this course would offer me. I have recently been doing a life-drawing project on wood, which stems from my interest in the forms and textures in nature. I have also been inspired by the art I have seen as part of my study of other subjects. On a school trip to Spain, I visited various museums and was particularly moved by Picasso's Guernica at the Reina Sofia Museum and I was fascinated by Hieronymus Bosch's Garden of Earthly delights which I saw at the Prado. At the Prado, I was also privileged to see some of the works of El Greco, which I found deeply moving. As a practising Christian, the art of the spiritual matters particularly to me, and I want to learn more about both Christian art and the iconography and architecture of other major world religions. Another thing which left a deep impression upon me when I visited Spain was the Moorish architecture I saw in Toledo. I am also interested in the psychology behind art and how people are empowered by artistic self-expression. For this reason, I am a supporter of the work of The Autism Acceptance Project, an organisation which showcases the artwork of autistic adults.
In my spare time, I have undertaken a variety of voluntary work. I helped with my school's Youth SVP scheme, which organised clubs to help local primary school with reading. I also was a Youth Leader at Edmund Rice Camp, a week-long summer play scheme for children aged between seven and eleven. This year, I have worked at The Croft Nursery School in Newcastle-under-Lyme with children aged three to four. I have enjoyed this immensely and feel it has improved my ability to collaborate with others. Alongside this, my love of the countryside has led me to complete the Duke of Edinburgh's award (bronze) and have participated in Student Cross, a 125-mile hike from Oxford to Walsingham.
Learning about other cultures, both those of the past and of the present, is also a hobby of mine. For this reason I have always been engrossed by the study of languages and I am currently learning ancient Greek. I also enjoy reading a variety of literature and creative writing (both fiction and non-fiction) and have had several current events articles published online. My curiosity about language, literature and culture sets my enthusiasm for art in a broader context and is a source of inspiration.

出国留学读硕士研究生流程
寻找学校、索取资料。所谓寻找学校,就是在做出自费留学的决定后,以你所期望达到的留学目标(拿一个什么样的文凭、读什么课程)和到哪个国家留学为选择的标准,结合自己现有的文凭水平和学习能力,在你所钟情的那个国家找到能够接受你的一所学校。这部分工作主要是查询留学信息,即根据个人的基本情况和设想,进行留学信息的收集整理。
内容大体包括:
1、对留学意向国家的政治、经济、文化背景和教育体制、学术水平进行较为全面的了解;
2、全面了解和掌握国外学校的情况,包括历史、学费、学制、专业、师资配备、教学设施、学术地位、学生人数等,要特别注意该校国际学生有多少,其中有多少中国学生在读。此外,还要落实该学校颁发的文凭是否受到我国的承认;
3、该学校的住宿、交通、医疗保险情况如何;
4、该学校在中国是否有授权代理招生的留学中介公司;
5、留学签证情况;
6、该国政府是否允许留学生合法打工;
7、本专业在该国的就业情况;
8、毕业之后可否移民。
出国留学读研的护照问题
1、护照:护照是一个国家的公民出入本国国境和到国外旅行或居留时,由本国发给的一种证明该公民国籍和身份的合法证件。由公安局颁发。护照是中国政府颁发给中国公民的,实际上就是被其它国家承认的身份证件。
2、签证:签证为外国为一国国民颁发的准许入境的证件。签证由外国使馆签发在护照上(在护照上做标记),是外国政府颁发的一种允许入境的证明。
3、护照和签证的办理:
办理签证:要去你准备要去的国家驻华大使馆或领事馆办理,首先登录他们的网站,下载表格,填写好这些表格,按照网页上的要求,准备好各种材料,递交(有些国家允许寄送)到大使馆或领事馆的签证处,之后等待结果。签证的办理可能会花费一段时间,一般因所申请的国家以及其大使馆工作效率的不同而不同,有些当即既可拿到签证,有些则可能要半年多才能拿到手(后有详述)。有些国家不接受个人申请,只接受团队申请(一般通过指定的旅行社)。
注意:护照拿到手之后就可以马上着手开始办签证,由于签证的办理需要一段时间,所以越早办理越好,以免因签证没到手而不能按时入学所造成的损失。但也应该注意,签证是有时效性的,如果超过了签证的时效期签证就会作废。所以必须度量好,保证在签证的有效期之内出国。一般情况下,签证都是在出国前前三个月到五个月办理较为合适。(视留学国家而定)
常见的出国留学考试类型
1、托福考试(TOEFL)
由美国教育考试服务中心主办,专门用来测试非英语国家学生的英语水平和掌握英语的熟练程度一种考试。目前美国、加拿 大、英国、法国、德国、爱尔兰、新西兰、比利时、荷兰、丹麦、芬兰、挪威、奥地利、新加坡、日本、南非、香港等国家和地区的学校都承认托福成绩。
托福是由美国教育测验服务社(ETS)举办的英语能力考试,全名为“检定非英语为母语者的英语能力考试”,中文音译为“托福”。TOEFL有三种,分别是: pbt—paper based test 纸考 677, cbt—computer basedtest 机考 300, ibt—internet basedtest 网考 120, 新托福满分是120分。
TOEFL考试的有效期为两年。除了美国、加拿大等大部分国家的高等院校外,欧洲、大洋洲(如澳大利亚、新西兰)以及东南亚一些国家和地区也都已承认TOEFL考试成绩。近几年来,国内的联合国驻华机构和外企及合资企业在聘录用职员时,或国际基金组织在测试职员的英语水平时,也都采用TOEFL考试成绩。英国内政部于20xx年4月初结束与美国教育考试机构ETS的合作,不再承认其旗下托福和托业两大英语考试的成绩。部分准备赴英留学的中国学生反映已接到校方要求重新提供英语考试成绩的通知。请考生们注意。
2、雅思考试(IELTS)
是由英国文化委员会、剑桥大学地方考试委员会和澳大利亚教育国际开发署共同举办的国际英语水平测试,主要是英联邦国家(英国、澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰等)承认,现在很多美国大学也已经承认雅思成绩。
雅思是前往英联邦国家留学或移民参加的一种英语水平考试。 考试内容分移民类(G类)和学术类(A类),包括听、说、读、写四部分。G类与A类只在阅读和写作两个单项上有区别,考试形式为笔试,满分为9分,考试时间: 165分钟,考试的有效期为两年。在20xx年,雅思已得到8,000多个机构的认可,涵盖全球170个国家的教育机构、雇主单位、专业协会和政府部门。20xx年,在美国,共有超过3,000所院校认可雅思成绩,[3] 包括所有的常青藤盟校(哈佛、普林斯顿、耶鲁、宾夕法尼亚、布朗、哥伦比亚、康奈尔、达特茅斯)和大多数美国大学排名前100的院校。截至20xx年,中国大陆已有10万学生用雅思成绩申请美国院校。
如果你想申请美国、加拿大本科或研究生的话,除了托福或雅思成绩外,还需要向学校提交如:SAT、ACT、GRE、GMAT、LSAT等考试成绩。
3、SAT考试
全称“Scholastic Assessment Test”,中文名称为“学术能力评估测试”,俗称“美国高考”。由美国大学委员会(College Board)主办,SAT成绩是世界各国高中生申请美国名校学习及奖学金的重要参考。SAT考试总时长3小时45分钟。在SAT中,总分介于600到2400分之间,由批判性阅读(Critical Reading)、数学(Mathematics)和写作(Writing)三部分各800分加和而得。
现阶段进行的SAT考试的形式是从2005年3月开始的。SAT考试在每年三月、五月、六月、十月、十一月和十二月的第一个星期六以及一月的最后一个周六举行。其中,每年三月的考试仅在美国举行。中国大陆没有考点。一般来说,亚洲的香港、新加坡、澳门、台湾、日本、韩国等地都设有考场(除每年3月),大陆考生可以选择在这些地方进行考试。费用:SAT1(即推理测验)52.5美元,国际考生94.5美元。SAT2(即科目测验,Subject Test)基本费用54美元,每科加13美元,带听力的语言科目每科加24美元,所以不考听力,两科80美元,三科93美元。
4、ACT考试
全称“American College Testing”,中文名称为“美国大学入学考试”,也可以称为“美国高考”,是美国大学本科的入学条件之一,也是奖学金发放的重要依据之一。由ACT公司主办。ACT考试分为四个部分:文章改错(English),数学(Math),阅读(Reading),和科学推理(Science Reasoning)。
5、GRE考试
全称“Graduate Record Examination”,中文名称为“美国研究生入学考试”,它适用于除了法律(需LSAT成绩)与商业(需GMAT成绩)以外的其他各种学科与专业的研究生考试。它是美国研究生院选拔培养高级研究人才的重要依据,也是各大学研究生院决定是否向申请人提供奖学金资助的重要参考条件之一。
6、GMAT考试
全称“Graduate Management Admission Test”,中文名称为“经企管理研究生入学考试”。由美国商学院研究所入学考试委员会委托美国教育考试服务中心举办的一门测试。美国、英国、澳大利亚等国家的高校都采用GMAT考试的成绩来评估申请入学者是否适合于在商业、经济和
管理等专业的研究生阶段学习,以决定是否录取。
7、LSAT考试
全称“Law School Admission Test”,中文名称为“法学院入学考试”,是美国法学院入学委员会法学院设置的入学资格考试,这些法学院多数分布在美国各州,少量在加拿大。几乎所有的法学院都要求申请人提交LSAT成绩,其成绩作为法学院评估申请者的主要条件之一,是一项非常重要的衡量标准。
8.日本留学生考试
日本留学生考试在一年分六月和十一月两次举行,学生可以选取考试成绩的一次。
考试科目分文科理科,但是报考国公立大学时一般都需要英语托福成绩。托福成绩没有具体的分数要求,但是分数越高对报考大学越有利。
每年的6月和11月在日本各地和日本以外的部分国家及地区举行两次(在中国暂无考场),考试分文、理两科,满分均为800分。
文科
日本语(400分):测试日本大学上课时的日语应对能力
综合科目(200分):测试在日本大学上文科的基础成绩
文科数学(200分):测试在日本大学上课时所必需的数学基础能力
理科
日本语(400分):测试在日本大学时上课的日语应对能力
理科(200分):测试在日本大学时上理科系的基础学力
理科数学(200分):测试在日本大学时上课时必要的数学基础能力
(其中物理、化学、生物为三科选2科,一般选择物理与化学,但是根据报考的专业,有时也需要生物)经济、文学、心理学等属于文科类,工学、理学、医学及药学为理科类。
20xx优秀学生名校留学申请书
Dear _,
My initial interest in the petroleum industry and geosciences stemmed from an epiphany I had whilst engaged in conversation with a young, successful Dutchman in Dubai. This man was a friend of my Fathers who was discussing with me the terms of a Shell sponsorship through University, and essentially who I would aspire to become.
I had always known about the attractiveness of the industry which my Father has been involved in for close to forty years and knew that it was where I would be destined to pursue a career; the only question was, in which field of work?
I have always been fascinated by and excelled in Geography and Physics. Having achieved the Geography prize in both Higher and Standard Grade, as well as merits in Physics. I have chosen to study Petroleum Geology/ Geosciences as it is a unique combination that will satisfy my interest and ability in both subjects and develop and nurture my skills to further aid my entry into the industry.
My love of the Earth's natural Geography has long affected my ambitions outside of school. Skiing, scuba diving and fell running have taken me to some of the most awe inspiring places on the planet in pursuit of experiencing and seeing new things, as well as excelling my passion for travel. I have visited the Alps, Caucus mountains, Cancun and Dubai pursuing these activities. I also play Volleyball with the Bon Accord men's team and attend weekly training sessions. I have also captained my schools volleyball team. Another of my interests I adopted at an early age was athletics. I was dedicated to my training for five years and won many prized awards, including a Gold medal in high jump at the Scottish East District Championships, and fifteenth place in the Scottish Cross Country Championships. My completion of The Duke of Edinburgh Award to the extent of Gold Award is one of my most prided achievements. It has matured me and taught me many invaluable life skills such as the importance of respect, responsibility, dedication and team work. As part of my award I was nominated after application and interview by Laurencekirk and District Rotary Club to be their representative for the 20xx R.Y.L.A young leaders' camp. This involved me spending one week with 60 other nominated young leaders at the Abernethy Outdoor centre participating in an abundance of team based activities ranging from kayaking to rock climbing. This greatly improved my abilities in leadership as well as operating as part of a group in stressful situations. Another of my achievements I pride myself upon is my position as senior prefect and my awards as both prefect of the term and year. This position involves me along with my partner leading a team of 18 prefects and helping the senior management team by representing the school in various areas of the school system.
My varied record of work experiences has taught me a lot about myself and the real world. Being a silver service waiter and barman at Drumtochty Castle, one of Scotland's most prestigious wedding venues has greatly improved my communication and social skills, and my seasonal job as a potato roager has taught me the ethic of hard work and persistence.

出国留学美国大学预科申请条件和流程
一、美国大学预科申请条件
1. 年龄:美国大学预科对于年龄的限制是16周岁,但是也有很多大的学校是没有年龄限制的。
2. 资金充足,美国预科的费用是相对昂贵的,因为读完语言班之后就需要进入本科或者硕士的专业课程学习,资金准备要充足。

出国留学硕士申请材料一览
1、学位证和毕业证
毕业生需要提供毕业证和学位证。要求也是中英文对照,装入信封封好,加盖公章。
2、标准化考试成绩寄送
大多数学校还是会要求官方寄送的标准化考试成绩单(TOEFL/GRE/GMAT/LSAT),但现在也有部分学校可以接受在网申表格中上传,录取后再补寄。
3、推荐信和推荐表格
一般美国大学要求三封推荐信。目前推荐信的提交有两种方式:网推和纸推。纸推就是推荐信是由老师写好以后签字,和推荐表格一起密封在信封里,然后在信封封口处签字。网推就是在网申表格中登记推荐老师的电子邮件联系方式,推荐老师会收到学校发过来的网推地址和用户名密码,推荐老师登陆进去后直接在线填写提交。目前,越来越多的学校采取网推的方式。
4、个人简历(Resume)
如实写出自己的经历就可以了,要注意突出自己的闪光点。另外就是不要超过两页。
5、PS(Personal Statement)
PS也就是自述,它在申请材料中占有重要地位。通过PS,教授可以看到你这个人是不是就是他所需要的。如果我们可以把申请比作找工作,把教授比作老板,那么申请文书就是你的工作能力证明。如果不能够在申请文书中充分展示,并且这种展示没能投教授之所好的话,你的申请就注定是失败的。一篇合格的、出色的PS的出炉需要经过1、2个月甚至更多时间的反复修改、沟通、再修改的过程。可以说这样的PS是字字珠玑,没有一句废话,紧密的为你的申请目标而服务。
6、论文、获奖证明
如果你发表过学术论文,可以把论文的Abstract(摘要)附在申请材料中,如果论文级别较高且是英文的,也可以作为附加材料寄过去。另外如果你获得过或者国际竞赛的奖项,那么也可以作为附加材料寄过去。
7、财力证明
现在一般学校都不会在申请的时候要求学生提供资金证明,大部分是录取后申请I20的时候才需要。对于自费的学生来说,这是证明你有能力负担几年的学习和生活费用的重要材料。
8、申请学校要求的申请表格
绝大多数学校的申请表格都是网上填写,在线提交就可以了。只有极个别学校是要求打印下来,手工填写,具体的要求要看各个学校的网页。
9、一份或多份大学的成绩单
如果是毕业后申请,需要提供四年的成绩;如果是在校学生一般要求提供从大一到大三的全部课程成绩。有个别学校会要求大四上学期的成绩单才给最终结果,针对这几种情况你在2月份出了成绩后再补寄一份更新后的成绩单即可。需要注意的是所有成绩单都必须是中英文对照,加盖学校的公章,由学校装入信封封口,并在封口处也加盖公章。

Dear _,
A Master’s student of accounting at Xiamen University, the best higher-learning institution in China’s strategically important Province of Fujian, across the Straits from Taiwan, I would like to pursue Ph. D. studies in your distinguished program so that I can be assured a teaching career in my motherland.
My education so far is characterized by indisputable excellence. During the four years of my undergraduate studies, my GPA was consistently the highest in my class of 135 students. As you can see from the transcripts of my academic record, I received straight A’s for all the courses except for first-year Physical Education. My graduation was rated “Outstanding”, the highest rating possible. An in-depth analysis of the ethical standards of Chinese auditors, the paper was later published in a quality professional journal as a seminal study of a rarely studied topic in China. As the unquestionably best student in my year, I was accepted into graduate studies by the university without the normally mandatory entrance examinations.
In recognition of my academic performance and other strengths, I was decorated with many honors and accolades during my undergraduate studies. I was elected the monitor of the class and the Vice President of the university’s Student Union, making me the most important female student leader on campus. Among the financial awards I won was the Jiageng Scholarship, the university’s most prestigious award named after its founder Chen Jiageng, one of the best known patriotic Chinese in the first half of this century. The Jiageng /scholarship is offered to only ten students each year, and the offer is usually presented to the recipients by the university’s president in person in a grand ceremony, as it was in 1996, when I got it.
In my undergraduate studies, I had broad academic interests, although I majored in accounting. I regularly read academic journals, both Chinese and international, to keep me abreast of the latest developments in accounting and other related fields. I devoted considerable time to learning such subjects as law and economics. My extensive knowledge provided me solid grounding as I narrowed down my research interest to professional ethics of accountants. In a country that has only an inchoate legal regime governing professional practice. Enforcing high ethical standards is both difficult and critical. But studies have been scant and haphazard so far. I am glad that I have made quite some contribution to the country’s discourse in this area.
Yours sincerely,
出国留学乌克兰专业选择建议
1、通过多种渠道尽可能了解打算选择留学的国外院校的是否具备招收外国学生的资质,目前该校的基本教学现状、学习条件和生活环境。具体的录取入学条件、学制和专业设置、学费标准、住宿条件及收费标准、医疗服务及保险规定和招收外国留学生的数量等。
2、选择专业从自身实际出发,在申请和办理选择留学院校和学习专业过程中,宜应考虑三点:一是学生本人今后人生奋斗的志向,立志要从事的事业,所学专长有利于回国服务;二是学生自身的基本条件包括身体素质、心理状况,以往学习的成绩文科、理科的强项或弱项,力求扬长避短;三是家庭对学生留学期间所需各项费用的承担能力,既有眼前安排也要长远考虑。学生与家长应当从实际出发,综合考虑这三方面的因素之后,恰当地比较和正确地选择更为合适的留学院校和学习专业。
3、选择专业不要盲从大众,不要盲目选择热门专业,要有长远的人生规划,根据将来社会专业需求理性选择。从目前来看,工程技术类理工科专业的留学生发展情况前景非常看好。
在发达国家,理工科在未来一直是整个社会的主流需求,诸如化学、计算机、物理、生物工程等都是市场的大热门,乌克兰具有较高的科研水平和实验条件,选择这些专业更能为中国学生提供良好的学习机会。例如乌克兰哈尔科夫大学物理系在国际上声名赫赫,曾培养过诺贝尔奖获得者,至今莫斯科大学物理系在职教授一半以上都毕业于哈尔科夫大学。
4、年龄偏小建议选择综合类大学,对年龄偏小和出国前在专业选择上犹豫未决的学生建议去综合类大学。乌克兰正规高校都有所属的预科系,基本上都可以接收国际学生,但由于大学的规模,条件各有差异,相对而言综合类学校在住宿条件,学习环境和日常管理上更为完善。更适合年龄较小、自理能力较弱的学生。
综合类高校专业设置丰富,学生预科毕业后选择余地大。预科教育规范严谨,有丰富的对外教学经验,预科毕业证被乌克兰各大高校认可,学生可直接入读乌克兰各大高校的专业课程。
5、建议选择读预科,在条件允许的情况下读一年半预科。语言基础的好坏直接影响到专业的学习质量,预科系在教授语言同时还有大量的专业词汇和衔接课程,多学半年能够使语言更扎实,并且通过日常生活的日积月累对俄语的实际应用能力也会有很大提高。这样更能提高学生对俄语的综合掌握能力,为将来长期学习打下基础。
乌克兰留学日常生活解读
一、衣着
乌克兰人在穿衣上面还是很讲究的,乌克兰的女性服装的样式很独特,服装上面绣了各种图案,一般都是穿的浅色的衬衣。乌克兰的男性也都穿的衬衫和宽松的裤子,平常男性喜欢穿的外套是夹克,他们冬天几乎是不会穿保暖裤的。
二、饮食
乌克兰的饮食和俄罗斯的饮食有点相似,他们都喜欢吃面食和稻米,还有面包和肉类,吃的口味偏甜。乌克兰人吃的食物都是热量偏高的,像牛奶、咖啡和油炸的食物。你要是不喜欢这种饮食的话,你可以去找找乌克兰的中国餐厅吃饭,不过在乌克兰的中国餐厅吃要比本地的餐厅还要贵,最实惠的就是自己去超市买一些蔬菜和肉类自己开始烹饪,食材的价格还是比较合理的,不会出现很贵的价格的。
三、住宿
乌克兰所有的学校都是有独立的学生公寓,去这里学习的学生大多数都能住到学校的公寓,一般都是两个人或者是三个人一间房间。乌克兰一些有名的学校的宿舍会给学生提供很齐全的宿舍用品。如果你要是在乌克兰租房子的话,是可以租带房东的房子,也可以租独立的房子,这两种房子的价格都不是很贵,房东还会给你提供很实用的家庭必备品,水电费和网络费是基本不包含在你的房租里面的。在你租的里面是可以自己做饭,带有厨房和厨房用品,做饭是很方便的。
四、出行
乌克兰的交通还算是比较发达的,最方便的出行方式就是坐地铁,地铁是非常方便的跟国内的差不多,都是一个城市有几条地铁的线路,你要去哪里就选哪条去坐,地铁的价格也不贵,而且每个站的车费都是一样的。除了地铁之外还有公交和有轨电车,公交车是通往乌克兰城市的各个地方,车票就跟中国的地铁票差不多。学生出行还可以打车,跟中国一样要使用打车的软件。

Dear _,
Ever since childhood I have enjoyed working with my hands. Whether as an eight year- old gluing together a model car or an adolescent assembling a bookshelf in woodworking class, I thrived on the challenges of precise and meticulous tasks. Throughout high school I have been intrigued by the sciences, but it was not until I read about late-breaking discoveries and research in the field of genetics that my interests in science intensified. When I entered the University of British Columbia (UBC), I naturally chose to specialize in Cell Biology and Genetics.
In my sophomore year at UBC, I first began to seriously consider dentistry as a career. At that time, I began to appreciate the important role that dentistry played in my life. Four years earlier, I began an orthodontic treatment program with Dr. Junni Wang to correct a severe crowding problem with my teeth. Both before and during the treatment, I was a most reluctant participant; not many teenagers look forward to braces filling their mouth during their last two years of high school, and I was no different.
However, at every monthly check-up for three-and-a-half years the office staff had nothing but kind words of encouragement and optimism. Now after the completion of the treatment I had reason to smile. Dr. Wang helped turn me from a shy adolescent who feared smiling into a confident, outgoing young man. His skills not only brought back my smile, but also my sense of confidence in all aspects of my life. Whereas once I feared drawing attention to myself and thus shied away from leadership posts and debates, now I am a completely different person. Hoping to feel as satisfied and gratified as Dr. Wang must have felt in improving not only my smile but my entire way of life, I look forward to improving the oral health of patients on a daily basis and participating in dentistry’ s friendly, team-oriented work environment.
After this preliminary ‘ patient-doctor’ exposure to dentistry, I substantially increased my involvement in the field to determine if dentistry really was for me. My participation with the UBC Pre-Dental Society allowed me to communicate with various professionals in the field. I also investigated opportunities to volunteer in the University Dental Clinic or participate in research work. After speaking to a couple of professors in the UBC Faculty of Dentistry asking them about research opportunities, I found a topic that interested me. Dr. Putnins, of the Division of Periodontics, offered me a position in his lab to conduct a semi-quantitative analysis to determine the levels of endotoxin in dental unit water lines.
After taking many water samples from the University Dental Clinic and quantifying the amounts of endotoxin (lipopolysaccahride) in those samples with an Limulus Abeocyte Lysate test, I prepared to publish dentistry’ s first account of this type of experiment. I conducted the study over a 16-week span (Jan.-Apr.‘ 98), and the research work counted as 3.0 credits towards my undergraduate degree. Because the vast majority of my work was self-directed, I submitted my findings for evaluation by the faculty in a 32-page report with 46 references, and I also defended my methods before a panel of professors. Impressed by the findings and results, Dr. Putnins will use my study as a key component of a journal article he is currently preparing for the Journal of Dental Research (JDR). The school also submitted an abstract of my findings for presentation at the upcoming 77th General Session of the International Association of Dental Research (IDAR) to be held at Vancouver, Canada. I am keenly looking forward to this unique opportunity to have my work appear before distinguished members of the dental research community. My positive research experience definitely helped reinforce my goal of becoming a dentist.
In addition, my employment as a Canada Customs Inspector has helped me improve my level of social awareness and helped me develop qualities I can usefully apply to dentistry. As a Customs Inspector, I had the opportunity to communicate effectively with many different types of people in various situations. I have also developed the ability to resolve conflicts, defuse difficult situations, and show empathy even during cases of enforcement. In addition, my experience with team sports has provided me with leadership skills that can not be taught in any textbook. As the captain of my hockey team and the coach of a children’ s team, I have developed excellent communication skills and the ability to identify and work effectively with kids. All of these qualities will prove very important to my future career in dentistry.
Attracted by the dental profession’ s ability to positively impact people’ s lives, just like my orthodontist, and by the profession’ s financially rewarding and stable lifestyle, I look forward to one day opening my own practice and becoming a well-respected member of both the community of dentists and the community of patients. While my GPA may not be as high as some applicants’ , my academic record shows a consistent positive. I know I have the intelligence, ability, and determination to achieve success in dentistry; I only need the opportunity. My dental research experience combined with my academic background, personal qualities, and leadership abilities makes me well suited to accept the challenges in the field of dentistry. I look forward to an interview and the chance to discuss my qualifications in person.
Yours sincerely,

出国留学怎么申请预科
一、预科申请
如果大家不是特别提出了英语授课,一般都是需要先读一年的预科的,要在学校内进行培训,将书面语和口语能力都提升到一个比较高的水平,才可以更好的接受教育。
一般的高校内都会设立有预科课程,大家可以直接选择目标院校的预科课程,申请的难度比正式申请要低一些,这样可以帮助大家节约时间。
二、申请要求
如果申请者可以提供合格的俄语等级证书,那么大家可以申请免预科学习,直接进入专业的正式学习,当然这需要大家同时提供学术成绩和语言证书,不怪你且会有专门的测试。
而大家在学习了一年之后,在考试中没有取得达标的成绩,那么第二年需要重新接受预科的学习,知道能够出示合格的考试分数,每年考试的时间是6-7月。
三、基本材料
预科的申请也需要大家准备充足的材料,学历的证明是需要出示的,在校生准备在读证明,毕业生准备毕业证书,还需要对他们进行翻译和公证。
由于是预科,所以不需要出示语言成绩,大家还需要准备护照的复印件、体检报告证明,以及预科申请的申请书。
四、升学流程
一般情况下,大家的预科成绩合格之后,可以直接升入预科所在的高校,不需要再额外出示其他的材料,只需要确认自己的目标专业即可。
而大家如果不想直接升学,也可以转学去其他的院校,可能需要额外再准备一些辅助材料,不过大家不用担心,毕竟是宽进严出。
