今天的这段对话，在讨论研究院申请程序，
很多人会选择进入研究院，那么申请进入研究院有哪些程序
来听今天的讲解:
A: So, Nydja, you actually just got into graduate school. So you know all about the application process.
妮迪亚，你刚上研究院。那你一定知道申请程序。
B: Yes, that's correct. I just got into grad school. I study International Relations. The process for this school wasn't too tedious. It didn't require a GRE or any long essays or too many references. The other schools that I was considering required the tests. High test scores. An application to be submitted three, four months in advance, so the process can be pretty tedious.
对，没错。我刚进入研究院。我学的专业是国际关系。我念的这所学校申请程序并不是太麻烦。不需要GRE分数，也不需要长篇论文，不需要太多的介绍书。我之前考虑的另一所学校就对考试分数有要求。必须要考高分。而且要提前三至四个月提交申请，这种申请程序就太麻烦了。
A: Now, each time that you applied, did you have to pay an application fee?
那每次申请都要交申请费吗？
B: Yes, some colleges I was looking at upwards of a hundred and fifty dollars. This one was less expensive. It's a smaller school.
对，我之前考虑的一些大学申请费高达150美元。我上的这所学校申请费要便宜的多。这是一所小学校。
A: Wow! A hundred and fifty dollars!
哇！150美元！
B: Yes.
对。
A: So that limits how many schools you can apply to?
所以这限制了你申请学校的数量吗？
B: Yeah, depending on your funds, so I actually like this program and despite having researched everything else, I chose to stick with this one. I only applied for one and they let me in.
对，申请数量取决于你的资金，我很喜欢这个项目，虽然我研究了很多，但我选择只申请一所学校。我只申请了一所学校，而且这所学校录取我了。
A: Oh, so you just went solo?
哦，你只申请了一个？
B: Yeah, I did. I did. I looked at this college, their plan for international travel and I fell in love so nowhere else had this program.
对，没错。我研究了一下这所大学，他们有国际旅行的计划，我非常喜欢这个计划，而其他学校没有这种计划。
A: Yeah, what's the school?
好，你上的是什么学校？
B: Webster University. The International Relations program.
韦伯斯特大学。国际关系项目。
A: And where is it?
这所学校在哪里？
B: It's in Bangkok.
在曼谷。
A: So, you said that for your program, you didn't have to take a test, like the GRE ?
你刚才说这个项目不用参加GRE考试，对吧？
B: No, I did not have to take the GRE. No, I haven't taken it yet.
对，我不用参加GRE考试。我还没有考GRE。
A: Why?
为什么？
B: Cause, I'm sure it has a math component that I don't want to have to worry about.
GRE里面有数学题，可是我不想为这个担心。
A: You're not a math person?
你不擅长数学？
B: No, I'm not.
对，我不擅长。
A: So the GRE is what, just math and language?
GRE考试包括数学考试和语言考试？
B: You know I'm not really sure. I know it's kind of like the SAT. They want to look at how ... what is your potential when you get to grad school, so I think it does have maybe a composition section, you know, critical thinking, math analysis questions with numbers.
我也不太清楚。我知道GRE考试和SAT考试类似。这类考试的目的是测试你在研究院的潜力，我认为考试里可能有需要进行批判性思考的作文还有数学分析题。
