[face=Arial]申请中，轻轻的问一声what's the "Number of Dependents"？[/face]

kathy72

要依靠你生活的人, 比如你的儿女, 父母等.

beaver

本人现在是一人吃饱，全家不饿型。
那就应该写，父母--2人，对吧？
非常感谢！

beaver

还有，本人在外地工作，父亲有自己的诊所，母亲已经退休。
是否应该写NONE或0，准确一点？
YOU ARE SO KIND IN DA NIAN CHU YI。

我不太清楚你这个具体的问题出现在申请表格的什么地方, 如果是在财务状况一栏, 应该是指跟你一起去美国的人.

tsljz

agree with kathy.

柳烟眉

KATHY72完全正确。

另外，你父母应该不能算是你的DEPENDANTS，因为他们不需要你养活吧？

feifeifeifei

只算配偶和小孩. 父母不能算DEPENDENT.

beaver

感谢几位的回帖！该问题出现在申请表格的PERSONAL DATA部分的最后一项，我同意大家的意见——配偶和小孩。
还有个财务状况的问题，有些长，先谢谢！
（Verification of Financial Support）见下英文表述:

”Total required fees and expenses are estimated at US$30,000* per calendar year (this figure is subject to change). This amount is for the student alone. This estimate includes $19,378.50 for fees for three quarters and $10,621.50 for basic living expenses for the nine month academic year only. Married students must verify an additional US$3,500 if accompanied by a spouse and another US$3,500 for a child; each additional dependent requires US$3,000. Opportunities for university financial assistance are limited. The University will NOT issue a certificate of eligibility (Form I-20 or DS2019) unless you provide the Graduate Division with evidence of your ability to pay all required fees and expenses for the duration of your program. In some cases, American embassies and consulates will not grant you a student visa unless you can provide proof of adequate funding for the entire stay.
Please complete the International Student Financial Statement included in the graduate application forms and return it with your application. All applicants must answer all questions in Part I of this form. The processing and consideration of your application will be delayed until all information is provided. You must also complete Parts II, III and IV if they apply.

*MBA applicants must provide verification in the amount of $39,360 in support (this amount includes an additional professional fee of $9,360 for the MBA Program only).

第三段带星号关于MBA的要求与我下载的International  applicant confidential financial statement表中的表述，我有些不理解。
“PERSONAL FUNDS:
In addition to the certificattions below，a seperate current bank statement in your own name will be required if admission is offered.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that I am financiallly able to provide the equivalent of $ ____per year for 。。。。（我本人签名）
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the best of my knowledge the above named individual is financially capable of meeting the commitment as itemized above.

大家帮忙看看。是否应该把存款证明同其他申请材料一起寄过去呢？还是依据后面的说法先大致写个数，银行签个字，录取了在补交存款证明？
最少的额度是多少￥30，000吗？
