美国高校的招生流程是怎样的？
Most universities admit new graduate students once per year in the fall semester (end of August or beginning of September). At Emory, applications are generally due the previous December or January depending on the program. Make sure you confirm the application deadline. Once applications are complete (incomplete applications are usually not considered) a committee of faculty members will review the applications. The review process likely begins before the application deadline. The graduate school strongly encourages programs to consider the entire application when evaluating an applicant.  There is a significant trend towards giving GRE scores less weight in the decision.  Usually within 2-3 weeks after the deadline the committee will meet and prioritize the applicants.  The top 20-30 applicants (usually 2-3 times the number of new students that will be accepted) are then invited to interview at the University (or usually via Skype if overseas). Following the recruiting weekend faculty members will convene and rank the applicants.  In many cases 1.5-2 offers are made for every slot that will be filled. At Emory, slots are assigned to each program based on a number of factors that may include: the number of faculty in the program, whether or not the program has a training grant, the number of training grant eligible applicants , and the amount of school support. At Universities that are members of the Council of Graduate School, applicants have until April 15th to accept an offer of financial support from an institution. If a student desires to accept another offer after that date they must obtain a written release from the institution to which commitment has been made. I will also be participating in the CSC-sponsored International Graduate Scholarship Fairs (第九届国际研究生奖学金信息说明会-2017 IGSF) and am happy to answer any questions.  绝大多数大学每年秋季学期录取一批新研究生（八月底或九月初）。在 Emory，申请通常在十二月份或者一月份截止，具体截止日期依据具体项目而定。请确保你在申请截止日期前提交申请。申请截止后（未完成的申请通常不会被考虑），申请材料会交由由学校教员组成的委员会来审核。审核流程在申请截止期前可能就已经开始了。研究生院强烈建议各项目在评估申请人时，综合考虑申请人的所有材料。一个很明显的倾向是，GRE 分数在做出确定中的权重越来越低了。通常，在申请截止后的 2-3 周里，委员会会筛出初步的名单。排在最前的 20-30 个申请者（通常是计划招收新生人数的 2-3 倍）会收到来大学校园面试邀请（如果是海外的学生，通常是通过 Skype 面试）。面试之后，教员会一起开会，给申请者打分排序。大多数情况下，项目会发出计划招收的每个位置 1.5 - 2 倍数量的 offer。在 Emory，分配给每个项目的计划招生的人数通常会考虑以下因素：项目里教员的数量，项目是否有培训补助金，培训补助金能够支持的申请者数量，以及来自学校方面的资助。对研究生院理事会（CGS）成员学校，4 月 15 日是申请者接受 offer 和学校财务资助的截止日期。在此之后，如果学生改变主意希望接受另一个 offer，他/她需要从之前接受 offer 的学校获取一封书面的解除书。 我本人也会参加中国国家留学网主办的国际研究生奖学金说明会（http://www.csc.edu.cn/edufair），我会在现场回答大家的问
