加州理工學院，簡稱 Caltech或CIT，創(chuàng)建于1891年，是世界最頂尖的理工類科學研究型學府之一，也是公認的最典型的精英大學之一。不少學生申請加州理工學院的研究生專業(yè)，那么需要滿足什么樣的入學條件呢?下面和出國留學網(wǎng)一起來看看吧。
APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
Applicants must have completed a bachelor's degree or the equivalent before beginning graduate study. Applicants who already possess a Ph.D. degree will not be considered for a second Ph.D. degree. Transcripts, general GRE scores, three letters of recommendation, a CV or resume, and the applicant's statement of purpose are all required components of the application and are carefully weighed during the evaluation process. The admissions committee may also consider research papers, publications and other original work.
1、申請條件
在開始研究生專業(yè)學習之前，申請者必須完成學士學位，或者同等學歷資格學習。已經(jīng)獲得博士學位的申請者不能夠在加州理工學院申請第二個博士學位。成績單、一般GRE考試成績、三封推薦信、一份個人簡歷或者履歷表、以及申請者的目的陳述都是申請所需要的材料，在入學資格的評估過程中占有重要地位。加州理工學院的招生委員會也可能會考慮研究論文、出版物或者其他原創(chuàng)性著作。
APPLICATION CHECKLIST
Applicants are required to submit the application and supporting materials online prior to the posted deadline. Once the application has been submitted, you will not be able to modify supporting documents, so please proofread your materials thoroughly before submission.
To successfully complete the online application process, you must:
Create a free account with CollegeNET to submit the application form online.
Include payment of the application fee or submit a fee waiver request.
Upload a Statement of Purpose.
Request GRE, TOEFL, and/or IELTS test scores to be sent directly to the California Institute of Technology (Institutional Code 4034).
Upload an official electronic copy of your transcripts or online grade reports issued by your college or university. Updated grade reports for terms in progress are not required. Students who have been admitted and plan to attend Caltech will be required to submit an official copy of all transcripts from the Registrar’s Office prior to enrollment.
Register three individuals from whom you will request letters of recommendation.
Upload a CV or Resume.
2、申請材料
申請者需要在公布的截止時間之前，遞交入學申請表以及支持性材料。一旦遞交了入學申請，你將不能夠修改支持性文件，所以請在遞交申請之前校對好你的材料。
為了成功的完成晚上申請過程，你必須：
使用美國大學網(wǎng)創(chuàng)建一個免費的賬戶，提交自己的入學申請表;
包括申請費用的支付以及申請費用的豁免證明;
上傳留學動機申明;
將美國研究生入學考試的成績、托?？荚嚦煽兓蛘呤茄潘伎荚嚦煽冞f交到加州理工學院(機構(gòu)代碼是4034);
上傳正式的成績單的電子復印件，或者是申請者所在學校開具的成績報告單。申請者不需要在申請過程中不斷的更新成績。成功申請加州理工學院碩士學位課程的學生，在辦理入學登記之前，需要向注冊登記辦公室提交正式的成績單復印件;
三封推薦信;
上傳一份簡歷或者是個人履歷。
Required Tests
Applicants should include self-reported scores and request official score reports from ETS. The official scores will be used to verify the self-reported scores. For applicants who have taken more than one test, the most recent scores will be displayed.
Note: We usually accept scores from tests taken within the last five years. However, ETS will only officially report scores from tests taken within the last two years. For tests taken more than two years ago, applicants must send official copies of score reports as we do not accept self-reported scores as the sole submission for older test dates.
ENGLISH PROFICIENCY TESTING (INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ONLY)
Applicants whose first or native language is not English are required to take a test of English proficiency as part of the application procedure. Caltech recognizes scores from the Educational Testing Service (ETS) www.toefl.org, Pearson’s Test of English Academic (PTE) www.pearsonvue.com/pte, and from the Cambridge Examinations and International English Language Testing System (IELTS) www.ielts.org. Applicants should arrange for the results of these tests to be sent to prior to the posted application deadline. Caltech’sinstitution code is 4034.
It is strongly recommended that students who do not achieve a high score on these tests or who have had little opportunity to communicate in English make arrangements for intensive work during the summer before registration. All international students are screened for English proficiency upon arrival at Caltech. Students will be required to take a non‐credit ESL course in the fall term if found unable to communicate adequately in English.
3、所需考試
申請者應該自己遞交一份成績報告單，并且要求ETS遞交正式的考試成績。正式成績單將會被用來驗證自述成績報告。對于參加了多種考試的申請者來說，需要遞交最近一次的考試成績。
請注意：加州理工學院通常接受最近5年內(nèi)的考試成績。但是，ETS只會報告最近兩年內(nèi)的正式考試成績。對于兩年以前參加的考試，申請者必須遞交正式的考試成績報告復印件，因為在單獨遞交之前的考試成績時，加州理工學院不接受自述成績報告。
英語語言能力考試(只有國際學生需要提交英語語言能力考試成績)：
如果你的母語不是英語，那么在申請美國加州理工學院碩士學位課程的時候，需要提交英語語言能力考試成績來證明自己的英語水平。加州理工學院認可來自于美國教育考試服務中心的成績、皮爾森學術(shù)英語考試成績、劍橋英語考試成績以及國際英語語言測試系統(tǒng)(雅思考試成績)。申請者需要在規(guī)定的申請截止日期之前，提交需要的考試成績。加州理工學院的機構(gòu)代碼是4034.
如果你在以上英語語言能力考試中成績不是特別優(yōu)秀，或者是英語交流機會不是很多的話，加州理工學院強烈建議你在入學之前，參加一些強化英語語言課程。學校在申請者達到學校之后，會對所有國際申請者的英語語言能力進行審核。如果你不能使用英語熟練的與人交流，那么你需要參加加州理工學院的非學分英語課程。

出版文獻以及主要論文的名稱、或者是個人撰寫或合著的報告等等。因為加州理工學院招生委員會成員一般沒有時間閱讀長篇幅的文章，所以建議申請者不要上傳完整的論文或者報告，但是你可以附上文件清單以及找到該文件的網(wǎng)址，這樣如果招生老師想要閱讀全文的話，就可以很方便的找到這篇文章。
Transcripts and Letters of Recommendation

Transcripts should be submitted online following the electronic submission process. For the purpose of applying, official, sealed copies of your transcripts are not required and scanned copies of an original transcript or university generated web printouts are accepted. Please note, however, that any electronic submissions must be official copies from the school or college attended. Hand‐typed listings of courses prepared by the applicant will not be considered. If admitted, official transcripts documenting attendance at each college and university and the degrees awarded will be required prior to enrollment in the graduate program at Caltech.
If you attended Caltech as an undergraduate or as a graduate student in the past, you must request an official transcript from the Office of the Registrar. We cannot obtain one on your behalf. If you are currently enrolled, you may upload an unofficial copy of your transcript via REGIS.

成績單應該按照電子遞交步驟在網(wǎng)上遞交。出于申請目的，不需要提供成績單的密封正式復印件，接受原始成績單的掃描復印件或者大學生成網(wǎng)頁打印出的文件。但是，需要注意任何的電子遞交文件必須是從所就讀學校獲得的正式復印件，不考慮申請者準備的手寫課程列表。如果被加州理工學院錄取的話，那么在加州理工學院開始研究生專業(yè)課程學習之前，需要提供所就讀學校的正式成績單以及獲得的學位證明。
如果你曾經(jīng)作為一個本科學生或者研究生學生就讀于加州理工學院的話，你必須從教務辦公室獲得正式的成績單。加州理工學院不能夠以你的名義獲得成績單。如果你目前已經(jīng)注冊登記的話，你可能需要通過REGIS上傳成績單的非正式復印件。
