什么是GPA,应如何计算?


GPA英语全称是grade point average,意思就是平均分,美国的GPA满分是4分,即A=4,
B=3,C=2, D=1.GPA的精确度往往达到小数点后1到2位,如:3.0,3.45。GPA的计算一般是
将每门课程的学分乘以 学时,加起来以后除以总的学时,得出平均分。中国学校的分数设
置一般是百分制或五分制,具体的折合方式视不同的美国大学的要求而有所不同,一般来
讲,百分制中的90分以上可视为4分,80分以上 为3分,70分以上为2分,60分以上为1分,
五分制中的5分为4分,4分为3分,3分为2分,2分为1分。中 国许多大学的成绩单上没有学
时,因此,GPA只能估算,可将所有课程的成绩加起来后除以课程数。一 般美国大学对于奖
学金申请者的GPA要求是3.0以上。

声明一点:一切GPA 的算法,因学校而不同。现在提供的,纯是一个参考,具体是如何算,
一定要自己去谘询所申请学校。

最后,补充一句:以我所知,美国的学校在收到GPA成绩后,一般他们会以自己的方法再算
一次的!

主题:GPA的计算方法
作者:sysadmin
时间:2000-03-30 17:12

美国多数大学对申请人GPA都有最低规定,不够最低GPA要求的不予考虑。GPA计算方法是各
科成绩按等级乘以学分再以总学分除之。以百分制为例,90至100为A等=4.0,80至89为B等
=3.0,70至79为C等=2.0,60至69为D等=1.0,60分以下为F等=0点。例如某学生的五门功课
的学分和成绩为:A课程四个学分,成绩92(A),应得点数为4*4=16,B课程三个学分,成
绩80(B),应得点数为3*3=9,C课程两个学分,成绩98(A),应得点数为2*4=8,D课程六
个学分,成绩70(A),应得点数为6*2=12,E课程三个学分,成绩89(B),应得点数为
3*3=9。以上五项成绩GPA:
GPA=[(4*4)+(3*3)+(2*4)+(6*2)+(3*3)]/(4+3+2+6+3) =3.00 <br>

总平均基点(Overall GPA)是将全部所修学科按以上方法计算出来的点数,最后两年平均基
点( GPA for the last two years)即将最后两年所修的各科按上述方法计算出来的点数。

在美国90%的学校GPA计算方法为4.00制(4.00 scale)的,又有1%的学校会采取5.00制。即A
等成绩为5,B等为4,C等为3,D等为2,F等为1,这些学校的最低入学标准也就相应提高
了。

中国学生在申请时,应按照自己原先学校采用的GPA制提供成绩,同时注明采用了哪一种GPA
制,对于我国学生很不利的是中国大部分学校的评分相当严,所以很多优秀学生GPA换算出
来以后还不到3.0,在有些大学里班上前5名的学生平均成绩可能会在75左右。而有的学生虽
然平均成绩上了80但用上述方法一计算也不到3.0-这取决与90分以上科目和80分以下科目的
多少。而且在中国内部,计算GPA的方法也不尽相同,例如对外经济贸易大学,清华大学采
取以下折算方法:90-A,80~90-B,70~80-C...然而,厦门大学,中国科技大学等学校则采
取另一种方法:85以上为4.0, 75分以上为3.0. 65分以上为2.0...所
以有的学校的GPA较其他学校的GPA偏高。

我也是还在准备考试的,还有十来天就要考了,我还没有申请过,所以很具体的情况我可能
不清楚,为保险起见,你们还是问问大虾和申请过的同学,不过,我所知道的,两种算法都
有。而且,你可以选择对自己有利的一种算法。在新东方时,老师有说过,如果你自己拿不

加拿大的GPA算法



If you are applying Canadian universities, I can give you some advice.
Generally, Canadian universities accept the grading system in China.
That means, you don't need to convert your grades.
The requirement in good univerisities is 85/10, while some universities
only require 80/100.
If you do want to convert your grades, or the university you applied has
such a requirement, then you should use the following table:
90or above --> A+ 4.3
85-89 --> A 4.0
80-84 --> A- 3.7
75-79 --> B+ 3.3
70-74 --> B 3.0
65-69 --> B- 2.7
60-64 --> C+ 2.3
Most of the universities in Canada use the above table, but some univers
ities do have their own grading system. Some have a 4.0 base grading system.
And some others rate 85 or above as A+. And sometimes the grading system
is different from department to department.
You should convert every course to 4.3 based grade and then calculate
the average. At last you write the GPA as *.*/4.3
Some Chinese universities write their converting table in the transcripts.
In that case, I think you will have to follow your university.

GPA常识

滴答出国资讯英国论坛



感谢网友blackjim

GPA是令很多人头痛的问题。我个人是换算了,不过最后好象换算有问题,不过没有一个学
校找过我麻烦。我的几个朋友,没有换算,直接把成绩单寄了过去,出于礼貌的角度,建议
大家还是要换算了。

希望有GPA问题的人要好好理解我这段话哦!!!

这里给大家个简单介绍。不过我在网上见到过其他的文章说在英国的PGA标准有所不同的。

GPA英语全称是grade point average,意思是平均成绩点数。美国多数大学对申请人GPA都
有最低规定,不够最低要求的不予考虑。

GPA一般用4分制计算,换算方法参见下表:

百分制分数 等级 成绩点数
90-100 A 4
80-89 B 3
70-79 C 2
60-69 D 1
60以下 E 0

GPA的标准计算方法是将大学成绩的加权平均数乘以4,再除以100。比较常见的方法还有把
各科成绩按等级乘以学求和再以总学分除之。

例如某学生的五门课程的学分和成绩为:
A课程四个学分,成绩92(A);
B课程三个学分,成绩80(B);
C课程两个学分,成绩98(A);
D课程六个学分,成绩70(C);
E课程三个学分,成绩89(B)。

以上五项成绩GPA为:

标准算法GPA=[(92*4+80*3+98*2+70*6+89*3)*4]/[(4+3+2+6+3)*100]=
3.31

常见算法GPA=(4*4+3*3+2*4+6*2+3*3)/(4+3+2+6+3)=3.00

在具体运用中,美国大学经常采用总平均绩点与最后两年平均绩点。总平均绩点(Overall
GPA)是将全部所修学科按上述方法计算出来的点数,最后两年平均绩点(GPA for the
last two years)即将最后两年所修各科按上述方法计算出来的点数。

在美国,90%的学校GPA计算方法是采取4分制(4.00 scale)的,仅有1%的学校会采取5分
制,即A等成绩为5,B等为4,C等为3,D等为2,F等为1,这些学校的最低入学标准也就相应
的提高了。中国学生在申请时,应按照自己原先学校采用的GPA制提供成绩,同时注明采用
了哪一种的GPA制。

对我国学生很不利的是中国大部分学校的评分都相当严,很多实际成绩很优秀的学生把分数
换算成GPA后却还不够3.0,在有些大学里班上前5名学生的总平均成绩都可能会在82分以
下,这样在申请美国大学时,GPA都要变成3.O或更低,只能进一些三四流的学校。为了消除
这种不利,可以采用两种方法:一是在成绩单或是推荐信以及读书计划中说明这种GPA实际
上是由于评分标准十分严格而导致的;二是在提供成绩单的时候,列明这样的成绩在全班,
或是全系所排的名次以及百分比。

现在大家可能都在着手作材料,GPA是一个问题,尽管UCLA明确表示可以按照100-90-86-80-
76来算GPA,但是学校却死守100-90-80-70,于是再次写信问米国小米,现copy几封回信

UIUC的回信:

Dar Mr. Zeng,
You do not need to worry about converting your GPA. The Admissions Office will
do so. If you would like more specific information please let me know.

Northwestern的回信
Hi,

Thanks for writing. You do not have to convert the GPA. When you are
applying for admission, just present the scores as you have them. (They do
have to be in English, however). We will convert them. Thanks.

解释有关于GPA的问题


对于有些学业成绩过低想改成绩的网友我十分理解,可是有几条理由请大家斟酌:

1.以科大为例,2000年申请接到来自不同学校的电话近百个。主要有系里和研究生 院打
来,开始是美国人自我介绍,然后有一个中国 学生与科大相干部门对话以核实密封的百分
制成绩。 在我办成绩的那一天,和工作人员聊天他们就说昨天接到3个这样的电话。一旦有
问题,他们则有义务通知全美各大高校作弊者名字,年龄和其他信息 以防止其他学校受骗,
包括领官,此人终身不得进入美国。假冒伪劣在美国只有死路一条。97年还是98, 就有一
位全奖去Univ of Florida的被遣返,就是被 查出来了。这是科大BBS上众所周知的事,血
色的事实就在你的身边。

2.即便侥幸你逃过一家,如果其他申请的学校 查出你,你怎么办?尤其他们现在已经知道
中国大陆的学生有篡改的习惯,已有准备了,想试一下不成?

3。即便你申请40所都不被发现,我相信你也会 寝食难安,终日提心吊胆。这样的日子好过
吗?



4,美国与某些混乱的国家不同,他们是个高度重视纪律和做人信用的国家,人与人都相互
信任, 如果你一旦撒谎,这是你危险的第一步,以后到了美国如何做人?你的credit是最
重要的,所以既然大家向往美好和真实,就从现在做起!

如果GPA低,一样有办法获取全奖。只不过拿不到 fellowship.但你可以争取RA,GA,这些
钱同样够你 去美国读书/。我的一位同学几门不及格,但申请得法,强调 其他强项,(鬼
子亲切地说他年轻时也这样,只要过去补修 即可)也过了。而且算GPA时,你不用改动百分
制成绩,只要算的宽一些,有的人把85-75不算3.0,算 3.5,75-65算成2.5,或央求学校省
略几门最不好的科目, 不写入成绩单。这些都可以使你立于不败之地, 却可提高你的
GPA,其实并不是每所大学都会最后核算再核算(毕竟很麻烦),他们中只要看你算出来的
差不多就可以了。就算他们认为你算得不对,你也可以辩称自己的算法与你的不同,这就构
不成罪名。



当然你不能乱来,让人一眼就看出你的百分制不能等同GPA, 那就亏了。

如果你的GPA用上述方法都不能过3.0 ,仍有办法,可以申请排名较后的学校,如univ of
Neworleans ,Univ of memphis ,Louisanna Tech Univ他们往往只要GPA2.75即可。一些好
学校的冷门专业要求的GPA也很低,大家要仔细多看。先去,如不满意然后再转校嘛!


正如父母所言,治学之本就是要修习品德,美国的风格 在你未来的申请中就会让你体会
到,机会总是有的, 不论你GPA如何,只要你诚实,勤劳肯干,总会成功!

GPA成绩不理想怎么办?
问:目前,我是在一所美国大学读一年级。由于我的GPA成绩不足3.00分,我得转到另一所
学校读书。但是,假如能有机会重新来过,我相信自己一定能做得更好。我得到了目前这所
学校的全额奖学金,而且我现在是一名助教。然而,问题是,怎样才能使其他的学校接收
我,而不因为我的GPA成绩不理想拒绝我呢?我希望能得到您的帮助。眼下,我正在申请新
的学校。若能指点迷津,本人不胜感激。

答:既然你获得了所在学校的全额奖学金,你肯定曾有很好的学术背景。你有必要找出目前
学习中哪些地方出了问题,并将你的顾虑同你的导师或系主任商量。如果你能使他们信服你
将会努力提高学习成绩并在学业上有所成就,他们也许会为你找一条出路,让你继续学习。
倘若你不得不另选学校,你就得在申请新学校时展现出最好的、最强的条件来,而不是失败
的一面。你在获得奖学金问题上的成功就是一个例子。

大学成绩不好对我申请出国有多大影响?
问:请问TOEFL成绩600分以上,GRE待考,但大学成绩较差,甚至有两门重修,那么大学成
绩对我将来申请有多大影响,有无希望?谢谢您的热心解答!

答:大学成绩不怎么好对你申请研究生院会有一定的影响。但是,如果你的GRE成绩很高并
且能够在你的个人陈述中说明你过去学习成绩较差的理由,仍然很有可能被一所二类学校录
取。但用不着去申请最好的学校了,因为它们竞争非常激烈。

请教关于算GPA的小问题--数字游戏而已

发信站:寄托天下

gpa只是数字游戏,关键还是成绩单本身。
我曾发信问老美我的GPA究竟应该选那些课程,选择何种标准(因为我的专业和申请方向有
些错位,而且学校没有规定90为A),老美说(大部分,70%左右)你不需要算GPA,这是针
对美国学校的。有的说你的学校是百分制的,只需要算出百分制的平均分就可以了,在我们
的INTERNATIONAL表格上有专门的一栏填写,大概是会把材料重新在学校里整理一便吧!
还有当我询问SCIENTIFIC GPA(核心课程GPA)如何算时,老美都说(所有的回复)你可以
自己选择,只要副表说明选择了哪些课程,只要有道理就行。所以我自己选择了一些与专业
有关且得分很高(呵呵)的课程,给学校确认时,老美还说很好很好,呵呵,笨!
所以只要把GPA算得超过底线,一般是3。0就够了,通过预审后递到教授们手中时,他们更
关心的是你的相关课程成绩。你算得再高,如果只是靠一些什么英语,哲学什么的把GPA拉
上去,是没有用的。不过好象也没人靠这些课,呵呵。我的哲学才65,放在我的英文成绩单
第一门,好郁闷......不知道老美看到这个没哲学脑子的人有什么想法......

美国大学成绩单与GPA的算法

新东方教育在线



美国大学在评定学生成绩时,是采取GPA,即Grade Point Average的缩写(平均成绩点
数)。在申请学校时,GPA十分重要,很多大学有最低GPA规定,除了英文能力测验以外。
GPA的计算是把各科成绩按等级乘以学分,再以总学分除之。

美国学生各科成绩是以A.B.C.D等级计算。

等级成绩和分数成绩换算如下:

分数   等级  点数  表现
91-100  A   4.0   极佳
81-90   B   3.0    佳
71-80   C   2.0   平均
61-70   D   1.0    差
51-60   E    0  不及格

通常大学部学生拿到C以上成绩都可以。但研究所硕士学生,至少要拿到B的成绩。

在申请入学时,很多学校有GPA规定。GPA的计算是:

1、每个科目以等级点数乘以学分。比如微积分是四学分的课,成绩是A(即4点),微积分
一科可得16点。

2、如果一学期修了四门课,英文3学分(成绩4点)、历史3学分(成绩2点)物理3学分(成
绩3点),加上微积分。

GPA是16+4×3+3×2+3×3=43,除以13=3.31。此学生的GPA等于是比B略好。

在索取学校资料的同时,可以先报名参加一些留美不可或缺的测验。美国没有国家性的考
试,大部分学校是以一些标准化测验来评核学生能力。最常见的测验如下:

1、TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language)TOEFL托福是英语非母语的外国学生英
文测验,分听力、阅读、写作三项。美国的大学要求外国学生考过托福,证明有相当的英文
程度才可以修课。大部分要求500分以上即可,有的较严,要550分,甚至600分才行。但也
有学校能够稍微通融,愿让学生有条件性的入学。先入学进修英文,然后再修本科课程,如
果已考过托福,日后要求测验中心补寄成绩单到申请的大学,通常要六周时间。

托福考试的计分方式,第一部分和第二部分是从20到68,第三部分从20到67,托福总分可以
从200开始,满分677。总分的算法是三个部分加起来乘10除3。例:Section 1 Section 2
Section 3 Sum46 + 54 + 50=150 (150×10)÷3=500以上的托福总分是500分,ETS替学生寄
资料的有效期是两年。

除了TOEFL,还有别的测验英文能力的考试。例如TWE(Test of Written English)书写英
文能力考试和TSE(Test of Spoken English)口语能力考试。

如果有留美的决心,一定要具备基本的听、说、写及阅读英文的能力,除了考托福外,日常
生活用英文也要加强。可以从听英文广播、看电视、多读英文报纸杂志等培养能力。

2、GRE(Graduate Record Exam)大部分大学研究所会要求学生考GRE,其性质有二种,一种
是性向测验,一种是学科测验。一般要求的多是性向测验,目的是了解学生的智力、数学、
分析能力。少数研究所要求考学科的GRE,评估对本科的知识程度,有生化、生物、化学、
经济、工程、心理等科。如果在校成绩不是理想,GRE考的好,在申请研究所会有帮助。一
般性向GRE成绩平均标准约在1580分。三项满分是2400。

3、GMAT(Graduate Management Admission Test)打算念MBA(企管硕士)或公共行政硕士的
人,通常是考GMAT,不考GRE。大部分商学院要求GMAT580分以上。

GMAT测验分成九组,七组选择题,每组25分钟,另两组写作,每组30分钟。整场考试需4小
时。GMAT考试每年举办四次。

4、LSAT(Law School Admission Test)

申请进入美国法学院就读的学生都要考LSAT,考试是由五组35分钟的选择题组成,以其中成
绩最好的四组分数作为考生的分数。考题最后有30分钟的范例写作,不算分数,但申请学校
时,此范例写作将寄到你申请的学校。考试成绩关系着录取机会。愈大的法学院愈重视LSAT
及在校成绩,美国LSAT分数范围在120至180之间,全国平均分数是151左右。知名的法学院
往往要求163分以上。

5、MCAT(Medical College Admissions Test)医学院入学测验是申请医学必备的考试。依据
考试成绩,审核入学小组决定申请者是否证明自己对医科有兴趣并具说服力。考试内容包函
大学课程中自然科学、社会科学和人文学。着重于生物、化学、物理的观念,并测验科学难
题的解决方法,细微的思考方式及写作能力。MCAT一年举办两次考试,通常在星期日。

6、SAT(Scholastic Assessment Test)、ACT(American College Test)美国高中生进大学
要考SAT,证明语文及数学能力,两项满分各为800分。较好的大学通常要求两项总分在1100
分以上。

美国中西部的一些大学要求高中生毕业后要考ACT。有些以ACT成绩来衡量是否给予奖学金。
有些地区因地理关系,无法参加ACT测验的话,也可以SAT取代。平均成绩是20.8,如果考到
30分以上就很优秀。

在考试时,测验中心会有免费寄发成绩单的服务,如果你对考试十分有信心,可以写上你打
算申请的学校名称。否则就等成绩出来后,再写信要求测验中心寄发,但要收取一些费用。

赴美留学,学杂费之外,要考虑食宿费、书籍费、衣鞋、医疗保险、电话费、娱乐费,如果
寒暑假打算旅游,也要有这部分预算。一般学构要求学生提出至少一年的全年开销财力证
明。如果经济能力不足,可及早准备,因为在申请学校和签证时都需要。

财务证明可以包括下列经济来源:

1、个人/家庭存款:银行帐户证明,开户日期,去年存款,目前存款或担保人签名证明。
财力证明来自家庭,应该准备文件说明银行存款人和个人的关系。

2、不动产证明:房地契证明或其他产业证明。

3、奖学金:如有奖学金资助最好,要有提供奖学金机构的证明信。

4、助学金:资料上列学生姓名,助学金金额及期限。

research proposal suggestion
No.1 format of research proposal

A Format for Research Proposals, I dowloaded from the HKU website, some of you may have sent out your rp, but this one still works out for others hopefully.
(written by Jeffrey Stern, Graduate Student, Program in Social Networks, School of Social Sciences, University of California Irvine. )

Jeffrey Stern offers these simple and straightforward set of considerations for a student preparing to submit a research proposal:

Abstract

A paragraph summarizing your topic of research, who or what will be the object of data collection, how the data will be collected, how it will be analyzed, and what results you expect (possible outcomes).

The Problem

"What problem do I want to address or what question(s) do I want to answer?"
- Elaborate on the variables and their relationships.

Background to the Problem

"Why is this problem or question important?"
"Who else has worked on this or similar problems?"
"What methods were used?"
"What were the results or conclusions of previous research?"

- In this section, show the relevance of your research to other research that has been done.

Research Design

"How will I limit my study?"
"What data do I need to collect?"
"What methods will I use to collect the data and how will I justify them?"

- In this section, show how you will avoid doing it all.

Expected Results

"How will I analyze my data?"
"What results do I expect from my research?"

- In this section, elaborate on how you will use your data to answer your research question(s), to make generalizations, to defend assertions, to examine possible alternative outcomes to construct a plausible argument.

References

Make sure these follow a recognised format, and do so consistently

中大申请注意

No.1 [重要]今天见到一个中大教授,请大家务必进来看看

今天真是郁闷的一天,先是知道在海啸中丧生的人数暴涨到7W,然后和一个中大教授的闲聊,听完他的观点差点没吐血。详细过程不讲了,有几个非常重要的申请要点分享给大家。(大概就申请中大而言)
1。不用太赶时间。只要在截止日期前送到就可以了。这个中大教授指着一摞各种快件说,这些都是今年申请刚刚寄过来的材料(我看了那张桌子就喷出了第一口血),光申请TAUGHT PROGRAM(研究类的还没有开始)的材料就已经有100多份了。。。申请才刚刚开始。。这个教授不经意的说这些学生早寄也没有用,反正要等到2月底申请截止后他们才开始审材料。。。。。所以,我建议大家不要太急着送材料,好好的把手头上的RP准备一下。申请研究类的同志们最好先和教授打好招呼,让对方建议你一个题目,再写RP。

2。关于GPA及成绩单。我现在强烈建议大家让学校给寄出,不要自己寄。今天这个教授反复问我大陆学生是否真的在成绩单上作弊。(我马上喷出第二口血)FAINT,这个我怎么能出卖自己人,赶紧和教授解释说只是一小部分人那么干。。教授很严肃的说,中大每年招大陆学生的名额都呈递减状态,理由就是大陆学生的材料都很出色,GPA都是那么高,可是招过来的学生名不副实,让他们很失望。所以他们对大陆学生申请的态度越来越谨慎。(此教授无意中透露说他们专业今年MPHIL+PHD预计只招4个大陆学生,喷第三口血)听到他说的这话我不禁想起了在美国留学版里曾经看见过的一个帖子,抱怨现在的录取都是靠教授关系。可是细想也是有原因的。就现在大陆学校改成绩单成风,教授们也是吃一堑长一智,所以宁肯招他们认识的和了解的学生。

3。材料中什么最重要。还是GPA。此教授说他们委员会审材料的时候会第一个看成绩单。而且并不是简单的看总成绩是多少多少。他们会详细的看每个学期的学分,修了多少专业课,和申请的方向有没有关系。最重要的是,相比总成绩(OVERALL GPA),他们更看重GPA走向(有点像股票线)。(怕我不明白,此教授还举了个例子,汗啊)如果一个人GPA有3。7,每个学期的成绩都差不多,而另外一个人是3。5,但是是从第一个学期开始到最后毕业时修的成绩越来越好,那么他们会认为第二个人更有潜力。。。。。GPA是如此重要,反过来说,这也是他们为什么这么怕学生在成绩单上作假的一个原因吧。

4。RP。一定要建议你陶瓷的那个老师给你一个题目。RP当中,LITERATURE REVIEW最重要。"显示了学生的阅读能力和理解能力",这个教授这么说的。而且,RP不一定要深入研究,只要写出方法就可以了。文科的同学注意了,这一部分写的越细致越好。而且RESEARCH Q也很重要。

这个帖子大概有点晚了,:( 不过已经寄出材料的同学也不要担心,该做的都做了,后面的就保持和教授联系吧。

    申请香港之我见(转贴)

    申请香港之我见(转贴)

    作者/来源:ZIXIA 2004-07-09 16:25 PM 责任编辑: rechal

      
        忙碌了近半年,从查看学校网页,寻找和自己专业相近的老师,写信询问是否招收学
    生,到后来绞尽脑汁写research proposal,再到去香港面试,终于有了一个让自己满意的
    结果!就个人申请的经历写下以下东西,希望对申请PhD的同学能够有所帮助(我没有申请
    MPhil,不太清楚)  

    (1)成绩和TOEFL重不重要?  
    不好意思说,我的本科GPA不超过85分,研究生87分左右(Major Courses),TOEFL也   
    不过
    是600探个头,所以我一开始很担心,但是现在看来,这两个部分只要不是低得离谱,我觉  
    得算不上很重要的因素!有GRE的同学可以把GRE成绩寄上,低也没有关系!我就寄了,也不
    怎么样,只是作文有4.0分!就这!所以GRE好像没有作用也没有影响!  

    (2)什么最重要?  
        就个人感觉申请PhD最重要的就是研究经历的相关性和陶瓷。我所申请的导师和我本科以
    及硕士时候的方向都非常的切合,所以一开始老师愿意回信要看看我的CV。CV制作的过程
    中,我将Experience放在了一个很靠前的位置。我的Research Experience很饱满,从大3
    开始就独立从事了一些研究!尤其在硕士期间,完成了除了自己论文方面的很多其它内容,
    所以我的CV看上去感觉这个人好像还做了些事情。  

        很多去香港的内地学生一般都有和中文大学相熟的老师推荐,那样基本上就没有太大的
    问题了。所以我觉得像我这个靠自己联系导师成功的还是比较少的,也是很幸运的!如果没  
    有那样的老师进行推荐,和老师的陶瓷就成了成功的关键。当然,陶瓷也要陶个有级别的,
    至少是副教授。也要注意看看这个老师在院里有没有什么地位。比如有没有其它老师和她合
    作研究项目、在学校获得什么称号之类的。在和老师联系的过程中,尤其是讨论research  
    proposal的过程中我觉得自己还是展现了自己在科研上的思维能力的,从一开始老师认为我
    的专业英语不好,对课题不理解,到后来阅读了大量的文献,拿出一个漂亮的研究报告,老
    师肯定还是看到了对于问题的领悟力的!

    (3)香港人重视什么?  
        我觉得想在香港学习,你是不是真的适合研究工作是她们最看重的问题。从你递交的
    research proposal,到你所谈到到的自己的理想和目标(如果面试过,还会看你的状态和
    诚意),她们很关心你到底是不是想将做研究作为人生的目标。那样她们才会认为你在读书
    期间会认真的读书,敏锐的思考!  

    (4)面试  
        我申请的系是在香港面试的!递交了申请以后,写了一封信给老师,老师就说让我准备
    面试。到后来老师让我和系里联系一下争取能够面试,我一直很矛盾,究竟要不要费那么大  
    的力气去香港?去了有没有用?其间还曾经写过一封很直白的信直接问老师要是我去了表现
    好了是不是就有offer。老师回信很绝对,说她不会向我保证任何的东西,只能凭我的能力和
    其它竞争者的能力来决定。所以去的时候心里很绝望,觉得老师肯定生气了,就算我表现好
    老师都有可能不要我的。现在看来,其实老师哪有那么小气哦!自己吓自己!

        我觉得如果没有老师推荐,自己的表现又不是很好,那么就要争取面试的资格。除了可
    以展现自己的气质和内在之外,还可以表现诚意!当时就是我的诚意打动了老师,拿了个很  
    好的面试分!当然,这里是指的自己本人有很多优势在材料上无法表现的情况。如果材料已
    经写得天花乱坠,那就要谨慎了!小心要老师失望!

    (5)香港老师的态度  
        可能我不是大牛,所以我的老师从申请开始,到面试效果好,到最后她都知道我有offer
    了,都没有透露任何肯定的信息给我,搞得我很郁闷。我觉得香港的老师的态度一般都很谨  
    慎,不会乱说话。即使她的心里已经认定了你,在没有最后确定之前,她都不会向你透露什
    么,让你想入非非!所以这个时候,你都不需要胡乱猜测,没有必要!可能有些大牛老师担
    心你会跑了,所以提前讲些东西,好套住那些牛人,那就令当别论了!  

        香港的老师工作压力很大,竞争很激烈,因此她们一般都非常忙。如果这个老师不是对
    你感兴趣,一般是不会理会你的信件的。如果你骚扰这个老师,她还回信的话,那就表明她  
    还是想要你的。即使有时候你都觉得老师的字里行间挺冷的,那都是好事。这个时候一定不
    要放弃。但是最好不要频繁的打扰老师,如果不是有很重要的事情(比如讨论研究报告),
    就不要去信了!她们几乎没有时间回!像我这个老师,每次回信的时候,连称呼都没有时间
    写,只是简单的几句交待!  

    (6)香港的学校  
        那次去面试,中文大学的一个师兄跟我说香港的学校分为亲中和亲英。向中文大学就是
    很明显的亲中,这里内地的学生很多。而且她不是很排斥内地的学生,虽然也会优先招收本  
    地学生,但是就整个比例而言,内地学生也很多。而城市大学、香港大学、科技大学就是  
    明显的亲英。她们的骨子里很排斥内地的学生,虽然也招,但是难度大了很多。大多是有  
    好的老师推荐,或者本人特牛。

    (I) Proposed Title  

    The Relationship between Juvenile Delinquency  
    and Environmental Variables in New Town, Tuen Mun  



    (II) Introduction  

    The problem of juvenile delinquency in Tuen Mun's new town' has become more  and  more alarming in recent years. According to recent police statistics, the figure of 662 recorded juvenile arrests in Tuen Mun was the highest among all police districts in the territory in the first half of 1996. Such figures raise public concern about the occurrence of juvenile delinquency in the context of planned housing in the new towns. A number of questions arise, such as: " Why does Tuen Mun suffer more Juvenile Delinquency than other places? "  " Is the environment of Tuen Mun more favorable for Juvenile Delinquency than other places? " and " How far do the environmental features influence the chances of delinquency occurring? ". Hence, the following hypothesis will be examined in my proposed study:  

    " The environment of Tuen Mun's new town invites and provides more opportunities for juveniles to commit delinquency than other new towns and urban areas of HK."  


    I will compare juvenile delinquency in Tuen Mun's new town with two other areas in order to make the study more interesting. The first area, also a new town, is Tseung Kwan O, which has similar environmental features to Tuen Mun. The second area, Kowloon City, is an urban district and has different characteristics to Tuen Mun.  

    I will employ the "environmental perspective" in my study in order to attempt to explain the nature of juvenile delinquency. In addition, the related "situational crime prevention" approach which focuses on the "rational choice" of offenders will also be critically used to supplement an understanding of the factors involved in juvenile delinquency.  

    The following proposal presents the "What" and "How" of my study. Using the "environmental" approach to study juvenile delinquency is a novel attempt in Hong Kong; therefore, I will rely on the ideas and methods developed in the west by, for example, Newman(1972), the Brantingham(1990) and Clarke and Felson(1993).  



    (III) Brief Literature Review  

    Environmental Variables and Crime  

    The work of the pre-world war II Chicago researchers Shaw and Mcay made a major contribution to criminology by developing the "Ecological" approach to the under standing of the interaction between society and environment in crime causation. They theorized about social relations, urban social structure and their relation ship with crime. Their study "Juvenile Delinquency and Urban Areas"(1942) showed that high crime areas usually straddled the industrial zone which was characterized by very high rates of residential turnover and low rates of home ownership. Shaw and McKay explained this phenomenon by the theory of "social disorganization". In short, they argued that differences in delinquency rates between areas was correlated with environmental variables like housing conditions, demographic stability and ethnic/social status.  

    Later, a geographer Davidson (1981) tried to give a full explanation for the relationship between environmental variables and crime. He classified environment into two categories-- physical environment and social environment. Physical environment referred to the structure and design of an area. For example, parks, leisure grounds, street patterns, commercial complexes and centers are the basic components of the physical environment. Social environment referred to a set of contexts which form the basis for social interaction outside the home such as school, recreation and neighborhood. Davidson's study suggested how both the social and physical environment provide opportunities for delinquency.  

    The latest studies about physical environment and crime by Taylor and Harrell (1996) show how physical features like housing design or block layout, land use, territorial features, and physical deterioration relate to crime risk. My study will attempt to define and examine the pattern of such environmental variables in Tuen Mun, Tseung Kwan O and Kowloon City. Differences in the kinds of environmental factors found in the three study areas may provide hypothetically an explanation for differences in juvenile crime in Hong Kong.  



    Rational Choice  

    Clarke (1983, 1993) has applied the "rational choice" perspective to a range of crimes. His studies examined how offenders think about a crime situation and how they choose the most "suitable" environment and opportunity to operate in or target to select. It suggests that the environmental features of a place will probably affect a potential offender's perceptions about a possible crime site, their evaluations of the likelihood of success and the availability and visibility of guardians. (Clarke, 1983, 1993, Felson, 1994, Taylor and Harrell, 1996)  Therefore, my study will explore how juvenile offenders perceive such environmental variables and test whether they commit delinquency in a rational fashion.  

    A study by Beavon (1984, cited in Felson,1994) demonstrated this rational choice assumption by showing that a shop located in an area with more converging streets suffered more crime than those located elsewhere. Because the street junctions and intersections made the offender feel that it was more convenient to access, escape and hide. With this kind of example in mind, my study seeks to find out how similar sorts of environmental features in Tuen Mun influence juvenile delinquents to make this type of rational choice.  



    Crime Prevention Through Environment Design (CPTED)  

    CPTED studies provide numerous detailed description and explanations of the relationship between crime and place with a view to minimize crime. For example, Jane Jacobs(1961) found a greater tendency for crime to occur in large publicly accessible areas created by the newer forms of urban planning. She pointed out that the new forms of design broke down many of the traditional controls on criminal behavior, for example, the ability of residents to watch the street and the presence of people using the street both night and day. She suggested that the lack of "natural guardianship" in the environment promoted crime. A decade later Oscar Newman (1972, 1980) contributed a seminal work on crime prevention and environment, using such concepts as "defensible space", "natural surveillance", and "community of interest". Concerning the relationship between the prevalence or absence of "guardianship" or "surveillance" and crime occurrence, my study will examine whether the environment of Tuen Mun's new town provides insufficient "natural guardianship" compared to Kowloon City which leads to a high delinquency rate.  

    Another major work on environmental criminology by Pat and Paul Brantingham (1990) further developed the concept of CPTED. The Brantinghams' suggested that "routine activity" such as the way the potential offenders live, work or go to school, and engage in leisure could influence the offenders to search for crime targets. For example, places near McDonald's restaurants and 7-eleven stores where youths like to gather after school may suffer more property crime than other place s. Hence, the Brantinghams' suggested that schools should be kept away from shopping malls and convenience-stores so youths do not congregate at these places after school or at lunch time. Such a change of space or place could reduce some delinquency such as shoplifting. My research following the Brantinghams' suggestion will examine and compare what sorts of places and why they are prone to high juvenile crime in Tuen Mun.  



    (IV) Methodology  

    In order to test the hypothesis of the study and examine the main questions raised, the following methodology will be employed.  

    Participant Observation  

    Participant observation with a group of juvenile delinquents or marginal youths in Tuen Mun will be carried out. The aim is to collect more qualitative information about their life style and behaviour. Through cautious participation and observation of the juvenile delinquents' daily and routine activities, I hope to find out how their delinquent patterns have been influenced by environmental factors. I propose to associate myself with Tuen Mun's juvenile delinquents through the help of the district outreaching social work team. I will ask them to introduce me to their clients and rely on a "snowball effect" to approach more subjects. This means making friends with one or more clients and then asking him/her to introduce their friends to me.  



    Individual Interviews  

    Individual interviews by a way of structured questionnaire will also be used to collect information about the juvenile delinquents' perception of the environment. The interview is especially important for examining questions like "What kind of environment could encourage juveniles to make the rational choice' to commit delinquency?". I will also attempt to interview police officers and security guards about the effectiveness of both natural and official "guardianship" in these communities.  



    Community Observation  

    To collect information about the physical features of Tuen Mun, Tseung Kwan O and Kowloon City, systematic observations will be carried out. Through several community surveys of the physical settings, I will measure the prevalence or absence of environmental features suggested by CPTED as significant to crime control. By comparing the physical environment of the three studied areas the different environmental influences on the opportunity for juvenile delinquency can be gauged.  



    Analysis of Official/Unofficial Statistic  

    In order to gain a fuller picture of the situation of juvenile delinquency in Tuen Mun, Tseung Kwan O and Kowloon City, a comprehensive analysis of the official statistics will also be undertaken. Besides official data, other sources of statistical data produced by agencies such as District Social Service Center or Youth Committee and Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department (Crime Victim Survey) will also be used. I will pay especial attention to information about the location of juvenile delinquency and the types of delinquency committed in particular places.

    香港留学申请过程序
    香港留学申请过程序

    香港有六所比较好的大学:香港中文大学、香港大学、香港理工大学、 香港城市大学、香港科技大学和香港浸会大学。其中中文大学和香港大学 建校较早,而另外几所则都是70年代之后的了。

    申请香港的大学与申请美国大学的程序大致差不多,但也有不同之处。

    首先,可以到网上去查询一下各大学的情况,如系科分配、奖学金多 少等,以确定申请的目标。如香港大学的网址是hku.edu.hk,城市大学为cityu.edu.hk。

    确定目标之后便开始正式申请。香港大学的研究生的申请一般需要以 下材料:

    1. 本科成绩单:

    中英文的各一份,并须经过学校公证。

    2. 英文水平证明:

    一般应具有托福成绩。与美国不同的是,香港的大学 并不要求一定要 ETS寄送成绩,而是只要原件的复印件即可。有些大学甚至不一定要托福成绩,大陆的四、六级证书也可接受。不过一个好的托福成绩显然更有竞争力。

    3. GRE成绩:

    随着竞争的激烈,香港的大学现在有要求GRE成绩,与托福一样,只需复印件即可。这两项可以为我们节省24美元。

    4. 申请表格:

    一般来说,只要发一个电子邮件给招生办公室或者系里, 对方便会寄来有关表格。不过与美国不同的是,香港的大学会要求你 说明自己的研究意向,当然只要一个很宽泛的范围即可,无须非常具体。材料一般是免费的,如果觉得麻烦,甚至可以从网上下载,如城市大学提供PDF和WORD两种格式,而香港大学只提供PDF格式。中文大学比较麻烦,它要求你先寄10港币左右的汇票过去,然后才寄材料来,也许是一种名校的架子吧。

    5. 研究计划:

    这是与美国大学不同的一点,也是最重要的一点。这与美 国的大学要求的PERSONAL STATEMENT完全不同,研究计划(RESEARCHPROPOSAL)是纯学术的,无须加入诸如个人经历、感情这些东西。它要求申请者要有一个明确的研究方案并对此有较好的掌握。这个计划必须是非常具体的,不能太宽泛。研究计划一般包括以下几点:

    (1)研究对象(TOPIC),即你想要解决的问题

    (2)研究此问题的意义

    (3)前人的研究状况即遗留的问题

    (4)你的研究方法(METHODOLOGY)

    (5)参考文献(BIBLIOGRAPHY):这一点很重要,但往往会被忽视。一般来说,系里会建议你先与某位教授联系,确定研究的题目、方法等,取得教授的同意后,在递交正式的计划。当然,如果你能引起教授的注意,请他为你提意见甚至给你修改,那么成的几率就很大了。

    6. 推荐信:

    香港大学一般只要两封推荐信,但必须是学术领域中的人, 其他人则不被接受。推荐信是一、两份表格,而不是洋洋洒洒的一大 篇。其内容是对你学术才能的评价。此外还要求对你的研究计划做出评价和建议,这一点也不应忽视。

    7. 申请费 (APPLICATION FEE):

    香港的大学申请费比美 国低得多,一般一百多港币,一般人均能承受。

    申请时要注意的是,如果想得到奖学金,必须申请全日制(FULL TIME)。香港的生活水平很高,学费加申请费至少需要一万港币每月,一般人肯定读不起,不过如果得到 STUDENDSHIP的话(约一万四到一万五每 月),所有开销便无须担心了。

Studentships are tenable on an annual basis and are renewable upon satisfactory academic progress having been made and the availability of funding. A Postgraduate Studentship holder may be required to undertake, under supervision, duties which carry educational benefits for the holder, as prescribed by the Head of the Department, Unit, Centre, School or Institute in which the holder is registered. The amount of such work shall not exceed 100 hours in any full twelve-month period (or pro rata if the period is less than twelve months). The undertaking of this work forms a part of the Studentship contract covered by the value of the Studentship, and no other payment for these hours of work may be made to a Studentship holder.

    The basic stipend amount is presently (for the 2004-2005 academic year) HK$12,500 per month. A higher rate may be paid, at the discretion of the department in which the studentship holder is registered. In return, the studentship holder may be required to work additional hours, up to a maximum of a further 150 hours per annum. The annual value of the Studentships shall be determined by the University from time to time. There are at present 4 levels of stipend, ranging from HK$12,500 to HK$14,600 per month.

    The work undertaken in this capacity shall be relevant to the holder's research training, beneficial to his/her studies and subject to the concurrence of the supervisor(s). The holder shall not otherwise undertake any employment either within or outside the University during tenure of the Studentship. The nature of the duties shall normally be:

    (a) assistance with research;
    (b) assistance with scheduled laboratory, studio and fieldwork classes and with tutorials;
    (c) assistance with the preparation of materials for scheduled classes;
    (d) assistance with marking practical notebooks and answers from exercise classes; and
    (e) assistance with invigilation of University degree examinations.

    Academic Awards

    The University administers a number of scholarships which are awarded to postgraduate students for outstanding academic achievements. Applications for postgraduate scholarships will be invited from eligible students at various times throughout the year, and invitations for applications will be posted around the campus to notify students when such opportunities arise.

    Government Grants and Loans

    Students admitted to a UGC funded full-time curriculum who need financial assistance for their studies at the University may apply to the means-tested loans and grants scheme administered by the Student Financial Assistance Agency. To qualify for assistance, a student must have the right of abode in Hong Kong or have resided in Hong Kong continuously for three years prior to admission to the University. (Note that students staying in Hong Kong holding student visas do not count as being ¡¥continuously resident'.) The value of their Postgraduate Studentships will be counted as their income. To apply for assistance, students should

    (a) obtain an application form from the Office of Student Affairs*, or the Student Financial Assistance Agency, 11/F & 12/F, Cheung Sha Wan Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon; and

    (b) submit the completed form within one month following the commencement of the course to the Office of Student Affairs.

    A non-means tested loan scheme is also available for application by both full-time and part-time students who meet the residency requirements. Application forms are also obtainable at the Office of Student Affairs.

    University Financial Assistance

    University funds are in general used to supplement government grants and loans. A limited number of means-tested bursaries and loans are available to local full-time students who are in financial need. However, these are of very limited value, and should not be seen as an alternative to Government support. The value of students' Postgraduate Studentships will also be counted in the assessment of their needs. Applications are invited in early September each year. Those who are in urgent financial hardship may however apply for emergency assistance any time during the year. For enquiries, please contact the Office of Student Affairs.

    Note: * The Office of Student Affairs will be renamed as the 'Student Centre' subject to the approval of the Council.
