录取要求

Candidates whose native language is not English must submit test results for TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System).

A bachelor's degree is required; MS students generally hold their degree in engineering or one of the physical sciences.

申请材料清单

• APPLICATION

Please visit http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/academics/admissions/graduate/ for Thayer School’s online application. When sending supplemental forms or other information, please do not insert them into a binder or notebook of any kind. Print a copy of your online application for yourself ONLY. It is not necessary to send us a hard copy of the application you file online. 

• APPLICATION FEE

A non‐refundable application fee of $45 is required of all applicants (except those who are attending Dartmouth College or Thayer School, or are alumni/ae). The fee must be paid by credit card. Applications will not be processed until this fee is received. 

• RECOMMENDATIONS

Three (3) letters of recommendation are required and are to be done online. Please have your recommenders complete the evaluation form and submit a letter on official institutional letterhead. The letters of recommendation should ideally come from your college professors, unless you have been out of school for several years. Applicants with work or military experience, or currently in another graduate program, are to submit a recommendation from their immediate supervisor, a current or former employer or someone who knows them well through some other professional or community activity. If you need to mail a recommendation please use the downloadable form under “Downloadable Forms” in the online application. All mailed recommendations MUST also be on official letterhead with original signatures and sent in signed, sealed envelopes. 

• ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS

There are 2 ways to submit academic transcripts:.

1) ONE official, original transcript must be sent to us directly from each college and/or university you have attended in a signed, sealed envelope. International applicants must make arrangements to have their academic records translated and sent along with originals. Where American‐style transcripts are not used, the applicant must include all available records including courses, grades, degrees and rank in class. The appropriate university officials must certify these records.

2) You may scan and upload a copy of the academic transcript (not diplomas) issued by the institution(s) from which you obtained your undergraduate (bachelor’s or first) degree and any advanced/graduate degrees. If your transcript is not in English, you must scan and upload a copy of it that has been translated into English. Transcripts and translated transcripts should include the following kinds of information: course names, course numbers, dates, grades (including incompletes, failed courses, and withdrawals), and grade modes (pass/fail). If you attended institutions other than those from which your degree(s) were granted, you will be required to scan and upload your academic transcripts from these institutions (transfer coursework, domestic or study‐abroad programs, postgraduate non‐degree coursework, etc.). If you have more than three undergraduate transcripts or three graduate transcripts to upload, please combine them by uploading a file that contains more than one transcript. When scanning and uploading your academic transcripts, please keep in mind the following:
• Remember to scan both sides of your transcript (provided that the second side is not blank).
• Various scanners and image software work differently. One option is to insert individual images (.jpg) into a word processing document so that all of the individual pages comprise one document for upload. If your scanning software produces a .pdf file, you may simply upload that file.
• The file you upload must be in a standard file format. See the online application for details. The online application supports standard file formats.
• Do not scan and upload a copy of your diploma.
• Do not upload a password‐protected file or a file that has macros in it. This will cause the upload process to fail.
• The size of each file you upload must not exceed 1 megabyte. If you choose to upload a scanned copy of your transcript you do not need to send a hard copy when you apply. The scanned copy will fulfill the transcript requirement for the application process.

If you are admitted you will be required to supply Thayer School with an official hard copy of your transcript. 

• TESTS

The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is REQUIRED of ALL applicants. GRE test information may be obtained at www.ets.org. Applicants who have not, or will not, earn a degree from a US institution are required to submit scores for the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System) scores. TOEFL information is available at www.ets.org. IELTS information is available at www.ielts.org. Original test scores MUST be sent to Thayer School of Engineering directly from the testing organization. No photocopies of test scores, or tests sent from an applicant, will be accepted. *Applicants who have earned, or will earn, a degree from a US college/university are not required to supply TOEFL or IELTS scores. For convenience and in the interest of time, it is advisable to request that your test scores be sent to Thayer School at the time your pre‐register to take the test. The E.T.S. code number for Thayer School of Engineering is 3360 for both GRE and TOEFL scores. Thayer School is not departmentalized therefore it is NOT necessary to include a departmental code. IELTS scores may be sent to “Dartmouth College”.
