Application Request After you find schools that you are interested in you must request an application from each one. Send a letter to each school asking for an application, a financial aid form, and any information you feel you may need (for example, details about the department that interests you). In this request letter, include your name and address, describe your educational background, list the entrance examinations you have taken, describe what you want to study, and state when you want to start. Below is a sample letter: February 10, 2000 School School Address Dear Mr./Mrs. ______________, I currently hold a French Baccalaureate degree in fine arts and would like to enroll in Yale's bachelor's degree program in Art History for the fall of 1998. My first language is French. I have recently taken the TOEFL exam and scored a 590. I have also taken the GRE exam, but have not yet received my scores. Please send me an application for admission, an application for financial aid, information about college visits, and any other important information that I may need to apply to your school. I would also be interested in meeting any Yale admissions representatives who might be recruiting in Paris. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Your Signature You can telephone, fax, or use the Internet to speed up processing time. As applications require submitting fees of up to $100, you may wish to limit the number you request.
