國際學生要提交資產證明

國際學生需要提交語言考試成績，可以選擇提交托福考試成績或者雅思考試成績。托福成績最低分數要求為100分，雅思成績最低要求7分。（托福考試代碼：6609）

面試。雖然面試不是必須的申請環節，但萊斯大學強烈建議學生不要錯過面試的機會。美零留學網介紹，通過面試學校能夠更全面的了解學生，學生也可以借此機會向學校提問，進一步的了解學校。有足夠的經濟實力且愿意參加面試的學生可以在6月至12月之間來到萊斯大學校園參加面試，或者學生也可以參加校外的校友面試。

院校簡介：

萊斯大學（Rice University），簡稱Rice，位于美國得克薩斯州休斯敦市郊，離市中心僅三英里車程。為全美頂尖私立大學之

一、美國南方最高學府，是一所世界著名的私立研究型大學。

1891年由德克薩斯州棉花巨富威廉·馬歇爾·萊斯（William Marshall Rice）創建。萊斯大學與其它三所位于美國南方的大學，北卡羅來納州的杜克大學、田納西州的范德堡大學和弗吉尼亞州的弗吉尼亞大學稱為南方哈佛（The Harvard of the South）。一直以來，萊斯大學在權威的《美國新聞與世界報道》全美綜合大學排名中名列前20位。在最新的2017-2018年USNews《美國新聞與世界報道》全美大學綜合排名中，萊斯大學與布朗大學、康奈爾大學、范德堡大學并列全美第14名。截止2016年，萊斯大學共有3位諾貝爾獎得主（校友及教職工）。

第二篇：美國萊斯大學的特色是什么？

院校特色

1、規模小、競爭激烈。

2、萊斯大學有9個學院，提供200多種專業，學院以工程系、建筑系聞名，物理學、管理類專業全美前十。

3、合作氛圍濃：教學與研究結合，本科教育與研究生教育相銜接。鼓勵學生選擇雙專業甚至三專業。

4、萊斯大學資金資助項目每年以獎學金，助學金，貸款等形式向學生提供資助，超過39.2%的學生可以獲得資助。

院校簡介

建校于1892年，是美國南方享有國際聲望的高等學府。因其高質量的教育和低廉的收費標準聞名，在“最佳生活質量”中名列前茅，“最佳價值”私立大學中位列第一。萊斯大學是以它的工程學院出名的，可是它致力于本科的綜合教育以及專科預備生的預科教育，光是一個“優秀的工程學院”的呼稱早已對它不適合了。

萊斯大學建筑系是全美最好的建筑系之一，物理、英語、歷史和考古學系也非常受學生們歡迎。不用說，工程系和醫學預科是全校競爭最激烈的。美零留學網介紹，其空間物理系與美國宇航局交往甚密，有幾個共同的研究項目，美國前總統肯尼迪曾在萊斯大學就登月項目發表過演說。

第三篇：萊斯大學校園生活

www.tmdps.cn

萊斯大學（Rice University），1891年由德克薩斯州棉花巨富威廉·馬歇爾·萊斯William Marshall Rice創建的萊斯大學（Rice University），位于美國南方寧靜的得克薩斯州休斯敦市郊，為美國南方最高學府，離市中心僅三英里車程。萊斯大學曾與其它兩所，北卡羅來納州的杜克大學、弗吉尼亞州的弗吉尼亞大學齊名，號稱為南方哈佛The Harvard of the South。一直以來，萊斯大學在權威的《美國新聞與世界報道》全美綜合大學排名中名列前20位，在最新的2015-2016年《美國新聞與世界報告》排名為第18名。

立思辰留學360介紹，在《普林斯頓評論》2007年大學排名中，萊斯在“最佳生活質量”中排名第一，“眾多比賽/課堂互動”的大學中位列第一。萊斯大學在“最佳價值”私立大學中位列第一。因其高質量的教育和不斷取得的國際學術成就,而與斯坦福大學，加州理工學院，麻省理工學院等25所高校被稱為“新常春藤”院校，受到越來越多的學生的青睞。

萊斯大學是發現碳60（“富勒烯”或稱“足球碳”）的地方，學校的理察·斯莫利(Richard Smalley)和羅伯特·柯爾(Robert Curl)教授并因此獲得了1996諾貝爾化學獎。這個發現很大程度上被認為是現代納米科學興起的起源，之后萊斯大學在C60衍伸出來的納米材料領域引領著世界的潮流。

校園生活

住宿

因為萊斯先生不贊成校園內有太多的“精英傾向”，因此兄弟會、姐妹會這類組織都被禁止。學生社交的中心是校園內的8個住宿制學院，每個學院里有大約225個學生，學生間關系親密，對自己的學院認同感很強。宿舍一般不錯，既大又現代化.但因為住房不夠，學校用抽簽的方式來決定給誰分配住房。每年有25%的學生在校外較為便宜的地區自己解決住宿問題。

餐飲

在萊斯大學的主頁上有一幅“Dining Map”，清楚的標記出了學校內各個食堂、餐廳和咖啡館的位置，十分方便。總的來說學校提供的食物還是非常不錯的，各種口味都有，價錢也比較適中。

校園活動

在大多數高校，“大學”，是指整個機構，本科課程，或到一個特定的學術分工。而在Rice大學，“大學”是一種生活方式。Rice的住宿學院制度的核心在于在每一個大學本科的經驗。Rice大學擁有公共藝術。Rice公共藝術的目的產生于與藝術相遇。通過進校園景觀及室內空間，結合現場具體工作，該計劃旨在挑戰和激勵社會從非常規的和潛在的變革觀點想象其工作和生活。Rice公共藝術作品與牧羊人音樂學院，VADA（視覺和話劇藝術系），HRC（人文研究中心），和學生組織藝術實驗室合作。學生校園生活的更多環節在于飲食，錢，電腦，停車場和交通，人身安全，醫療信息和酒精政策。

第四篇：肯尼迪在萊斯大學演講范文

President Pitzer, Mr.Vice President, Governor, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley, and Congressman Miller, Mr.Webb, Mr.Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen:

I appreciate your president having made me an honorary visiting professor, and I will assure you that my first lecture will be very brief.I am delighted to be here and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion.We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance.The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation’s own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip [aut'strip] v.[T] 追過，勝過，凌駕our collective comprehension.No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come, but condense [k?n'dens] v.[T] 1.壓縮；濃縮 2.聚集（光線）3.縮短，減縮（文章等）4.使冷凝，使凝結

Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon.We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.It is for these reasons that I regard the decision last year to shift our efforts in space from low to high gear as among the most important decisions that will be made during my incumbency in the office of the Presidency.In the last 24 hours we have seen facilities now being created for the greatest and most complex exploration in man's history.We have felt the ground shake and the air shattered by the testing of a Saturn C-1 booster rocket, many times as powerful as the Atlas which launched John Glenn, generating power equivalent to 10,000 automobiles with their accelerators on the floor.We have seen the site where five F-1 rocket engines, each one as powerful as all eight engines of the Saturn combined, will be clustered together to make the advanced Saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at Cape Canaveral as tall as a 48 story structure, as wide as a city block, and as long as two lengths of this field.Within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth.Some 40 of them were “made in the United States of America” and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than those of the Soviet Union.The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science.The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the the 40-yard lines.Transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course.Tiros satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs.We have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them.And they may be less public.To be sure, we are behind, and will be behind for some time in manned flight.But we do not intend to stay behind, and in this decade, we shall make up and move ahead.The growth of our science and education will be enriched by new knowledge of our universe and environment, by new techniques of learning and mapping and observation, by new tools and computers for industry, medicine, the home as well as the school.Technical institutions, such as Rice, will reap the harvest of these gains.And finally, the space effort itself, while still in its infancy, has already created a great number of new companies, and tens of thousands of new jobs.Space and related industries are generating new demands in investment and skilled personnel, and this city and this State, and this region, will share greatly in this growth.What was once the furthest outpost on the old frontier of the West will be the furthest outpost on the new frontier of science and space.Houston, your City of Houston, with its Manned Spacecraft Center, will become the heart of a large scientific and engineering community.During the next 5 years the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expects to double the number of scientists and engineers in this area, to increase its outlays for salaries and expenses to $60 million a year;to invest some $200 million in plant and laboratory facilities;and to direct or contract for new space efforts over $1 billion from this Center in this City.To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money.This year1s space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined.That budget now stands at $5,400 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year.Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United Stated, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.But if I were to say, my fellow citizens, that we shall send to the moon, 240,000 miles away from the control station in Houston, a giant rocket more than 300 feet tall, the length of this football field, made of new metal alloys, some of which have not yet been invented, capable of standing heat and stresses several times more than have ever been experienced, fitted together with a precision better than the finest watch, carrying all the equipment needed for propulsion, guidance, control, communications, food and survival, on an untried mission, to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to earth, re-entering the atmosphere at speeds of over 25,000 miles per hour, causing heat about half that of the temperature of the sun--almost as hot as it is here today--and do all this, and do it right, and do it first before this decade is out--then we must be bold.I'm the one who is doing all the work, so we just want you to stay cool for a minute.[laughter]

However, I think we're going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid.I don't think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job.And this will be done in the decade of the sixties.It may be done while some of you are still here at school at this college and university.It will be done during the term of office of some of the people who sit here on this platform.But it will be done.And it will be done before the end of this decade.I am delighted that this university is playing a part in putting a man on the moon as part of a great national effort of the United States of America.Many years ago the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it.He said, “Because it is there.”

Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.And, therefore, as we set sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.Thank you.

第五篇：如何申請美國大學

申請美國名校動手早成功率高哈佛、耶魯錄取生分享經驗（摘自北京晚報2012.4.18。請仔細閱讀參考）出國留學入讀哈佛、耶魯等名校，幾乎是每位中國優秀學生的夢想。但是，如何才能成功申請海外名校。4月21日下午，“2012美國本科名校錄取分享會”將在中關村皇冠假日酒店舉行。屆時，2012年被哈佛、耶魯、康奈爾、布朗大學等名校錄取的學生將分享留學申請的成功經驗。

近年來，隨著美國留學申請人數逐年遞增，美國高校也逐步提高錄取門檻。據新東方前途出國市場部負責人李浚介紹，美國名校的錄取標準通常為：學術、課外活動、個性修養各占三分之一。在學術方面，判斷標準是包括高中三年課程平均累積分的成績（GPA）、美國高考SAT成績、大學選修課程（AP）、學術競賽、科研活動等，而成績對頂尖大學的錄取來說只是基本要求或必要條件，不是充分條件，也就是說美國名校的錄取不會僅通過成績論英雄。

據了解，在2012年新東方前途出國美國本科的錄取榜單中，3人被哈佛大學錄取、4人被耶魯大學錄取、4人被哥倫比亞大學錄取、2人被普林斯頓大學錄取、3人被杜克大學錄取、2人被加州理工學院錄取、4人被賓夕法尼亞大學錄取??從這些被美國名校錄取的學生條件可以看出，即使申請者通過美國名校標準化考試錄取分數線，但是要想從眾多入圍者中脫穎而出，必須具備一些其他與眾不同的綜合素質。美國名校的招生標準就是錄取全方位發展的學生、見解獨特的學生、能為學校學術項目帶來全新體驗的學生。

李浚表示，根據國內學生申請美國名校的成功經驗，可以總結出一些基本的規律：首先，申請規劃做得早。對于高中成績和托福、SAT、AP等標準考試，他們很早就著手準備，并不斷積累優秀的學業成績。其中不乏奧林匹克數學競賽冠軍、西屋科學獎得主、Spelling Bee優勝者等各式各類科學比賽的成績。同時，在留學專家的規劃指導幫助之下，針對個人綜合素質進行了一定的背景提升，準備了相應的經歷和素材，在申請文書寫作中起到了重要作用。其次，有豐富的課外活動。被美國名校錄取的學生中總是不乏多才多藝、看待問題視角敏銳獨特以及經歷豐富的學生。課外活動能夠具體展現學生在課堂之外的優點、特征和潛力，從而在文書寫作中能夠結合自身閱歷，突出個人特點及闡述對待事物的獨到見解，最終獲得美國名校錄取官的青睞。

不過，由于申請美國名校的中國學生越來越多，美國名校也加大了審核的力度。其中，越來越多的美國名校增加了面試學生的數量。新東方前途出國市場部負責人李浚告訴記者，美國名校增加面試，一方面是了解申請人實際的語言水平，另一方面是查看申請人所回答問題是否與申請材料內容相吻合。因此，國內學生在申請美國名校時，首先需要提供真實的材料，其次一定要親自參與留學申請的全過程，不能將全部申請都委托中介機構辦理。本報記者 鄭勇
