引言：申请美国的很多专业，都会要求考GRE的专项考试，心理学也不例外。如果没有考GRE 心理学SUB，我们还可以申请到TOP50的好学校吗？SUB是申请美国心理学牛校必须的考试吗？本期我将给大家介绍美国大学TOP50中，心理学专业对SUB的要求。 
    美国TOP50大学，心理学对GRE subject test in Psychology要求 
    GRE subject test in Psychology是心理学的一个专项考试，是考核申请者专业知识掌握程度的一个测试。美国有些大学心理学系会对这个考试有硬性要求，但是，申请美国心理学牛校都必要有这个成绩吗？没有这个成就不能申请到牛校？其实不是这样的。TOP50中的很多牛校并没有做出硬性要求。下面我们来看几个心理学牛校对SUB的要求是怎样的，学校的原话是怎么说的。 
    1、Stanford University 
    GRE subject test in Psychology is not required. Many students submit their GRE Subject test scores to demonstrate knowledge of the field. We encourage those who have taken the exam to submit their scores.
    2、Columbia University 
    Take the GRE (the General Test is required, and the Subject Test is strongly recommended)
    3、Yale University 
    An official record of Verbal and Quantitative scores on the GRE Aptitude Test is required as part of the application [NOTE: the GRE Subject Test is not required]
    4、University of Minnesota--Twin Cities 
    GRE Record Examination—Subject Test in Psychology Scores 
The following programs strongly recommend that you submit GRE Psychology Test scores: Clinical Science, Counseling, and Personality, Individual Differences, and Behavior Genetics. Follow the same procedures listed above for submitting the GRE General Test scores.
    06年被录取者GPA在3.50-3.74范围内17名，在3.75-4.00范围内27名。GRE：V Q在1200-1299范围内仅4名，1300-1399范围内9名，1400以上18名。 
    5、University of Wisconsin-Madison 
    The department strongly recommends that applicants also take the Psychology Subject Test of the GRE, or the subject test of the GRE that is closest to the student's undergraduate major. 
2000-2003被录取者平均成绩基本在，GPA：3.70 GRE V：640 Q：715。 
    6、University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 
    Test scores on Graduate Record Examinations (subject test is recommended not required)
    以往平均录取的申请者GPA：3.74、GRE V：624 Q：717、TOEFL：607。 
    上面几个学校的心理学专业都在专业排名TOP10内，从他们对SUB的介绍以及学校公布的录取者平均成绩我们可以看出。美国心理学名校并不是一定有心理学SUB成绩才可以申请。多数学校并没有把这个作为硬性要求，只是作为一个参考因素。因此，只要你硬件成绩杰出，研究背景好，没有SUB，一样可以申请到好的学校。当然，SUB作为一个参考因素，肯定是有它的作用的。如果有一个好的SUB成绩，肯定会对你的申请起到一定的帮助。但是，这并不是更关键的因素，只能起到一点辅助作用，学校更关注的还是常规的GPA、GRE、TOFEL、和研究背景。如果在这几项条件都差不多的申请者中，SUB才会起到真正的决定性作用。因此，打算申请美国心理学的申请者，你们不必要花费大量精力去准备SUB考试，把精力和时间放在研究上对你的申请帮助会更大。
