拿到美国大学Offer后如何回复

haiya

　一、接受
　　一般是先Email答复，就表示接受就可以了。然后把学校给你寄来的接受表格签字画押 接受寄回去就ok了。如果学校没有给你接受表格，那么去个email问问接受offer是不是要写个书面的答复，然后按他们的回复去做就可以了。
　　一般来说，接受正式的录取，必须要让学校获得有你亲笔签名的reply form才行。有些学校可以接受传真过去的reply form，而有些学校就一定要求书面答复。这些都要事先问清楚学校的要求再行动。
　　下面是个接受offer 的例子：
　　Dear XXX,
　　I decide to accept your offer! I received your mailed offer several weeks ago. In these days, I became familiar with the city and the university. As far as I know, XXX is a great place to live and learn! So I decide to accept this offer! It's my honor to study in XXX. Thank you very much!
　　And would you please tell me whether I need to send my decision with a written statement to you? Best regards!
　　Sincerely, XXX
　　当然，接受录取的过程也不一定有这么复杂，有时候根本不需要你写信，直接填好 reply form 寄回去就可以了。如果你觉得邮递不保险，可以选择快递业务寄送接受录取的回执。
　　二、拒绝
　　和上文的过程一样，就是把接受换成拒绝(decline)就可以了。建议有多个offers的人把不想去的学校早日拒掉，因为你拿着也只能看，但拒掉了之后，就有可能使同样申请的人 有机会早日拿到这个offer，对他人来说你是做了件大好事。下面是个拒绝offer的例子：
　　Dear Professor,
　　I feel grateful for your providing me an offer to your honored University, but I have accepted the offer from another university, and I am afraid that I couldn't go to your University. Thanks for your consideration.
　　Sincerely, XXX
        三、退出申请(withdraw)
　　建议各位已经拿到offer并且准备接受的同学，早点撤回所有的申请;还有已经拿到offer的同学，早点撤回那些即使来了offer，但是因为排名靠后也不会去的学校。因为一个人即 使能拿到一堆 offers，最终也只能去一个自己最心仪的学校，拿着一堆 offers 而不放手的确 是没什么意思的。下面是退出申请的样板：
　　Dear Committee Members,
　　I am an applicant to your Ph.D. program in ******* for the fall of 2003. (Name: ****, Date of Birth: ****) I am deeply sorry that I have to withdraw my application, because I have already received several offers up to now, and almost decide to accept one of them. ****, including the world-class groups in *******, is still a perfect institution for me, but I do not think it is appropriate to take up your precious time and effort in evaluating my application in this case. And
　　I think that it will be inconvenient for other applicants if I am still on your list.
　　I am confident that your department will be very successful in recruiting new ******* students. Also, I hope that you could give favorable considerations to other Chinese applicants, especially those from ******* University, which is the best university in China. I believe that there are about
　　*** graduates in ******* University who are capable to study ******* in the very top universities in the States.
　　PS: Please forgive my rudeness. I don't know which person I should contact, so I'm writing to you.
　　If you are not in charge of this affair, please inform the right person.
　　Very Sincerely, XXX
　　再对此种情况给出几点说明：
　　1、如果只是不知道结果，单纯withdraw，那么这个基本上可以照搬，不过最好自己改的简单一点，不要大家都千篇一律了。
　　2、如果是想推荐别人(不过一般没什么用)，那么就最好先了解一下被推荐人是否在waiting list上，如果在的话，再推荐，否则也不太礼貌。尤其注意说话的修辞，学校被你拒了，对他们来说也不是件好事。
　　回复了美国大学之后，你对将要入读的美国大学和专业就已经确定了，接下来应该是办理美国留学签证、准备行装、预定机票等事情了，大家要记住，美国留学签证要提前办理，不要到最后因为签证没办下来而耽误留学行程。
