美国硕士留学怎样准备套磁

申请去美国读研的学生,是必须要提前进行套磁的,大家在进行准备的时候,一定要提前做功课。跟着留学在线网来看看美国硕士留学怎样准备套磁?

套磁内容

1.标题:学术关联性

单纯的写Hi或是hello professor,或是help,I want to join you lab只会被当成垃圾邮件删除掉,标题表现出学术性和目的性也是很重要的,较正式的写法有以下两种:

About XXXXX;Re: (Regarding)XXXXXX。. visit for more.

这个xxx可以是你感兴趣的教授方向,也可以是教授的论文题目,也可以直接写自己感兴趣的方向,比如想学蛋白质工程题目可以直接写Re:protein engineering。当然有许多人直接写I am interested in pursuing Ph.D. degree in 具体方向 in your research group也未尝不可,只是效果因人而异了。

2.内容:学术性,完完全全地表现出学术性!

套磁之前,一定要看清楚对方的科研背景,以及最近正在进行的科研活动。比较有用的办法是看publication里面'submitted'或'to appear'的论文,有机会的话下载下来仔细研读一下也是非常有用的。很多申请者套辞信过去就是直接问是不是有钱,说到自己就是gpa多少,拿过多少奖,好一点地会介绍一下自己的科研经历以及发表过的论文等等,但是人家真正感兴趣的是你可以在他的领域里面有多大的成就。不好好研究一下对方的背景就贸贸然套辞信过去,反而对你不利。因为教授看见这样一封没有丝毫针对性地套辞信,会认为你是在用一个通用的模板信批量发信。如果遇上较真一点的教授,会直接把你的email发给招生主任(通常也是系里的教授),那么你就别再指望这所学校了。

原则有三个:一不要抄模板,二不要多写硬件的分数(有很多教授并不在意GPA或是GT有多高),三是空谈特别喜欢是没有用的,要套一个教授,最少的要求是把他主页上的介绍都仔仔细细的吃透,正常的要求是把他的代表性paper仔细研读一遍。而且第一封套辞信不要太长,讲一下重点就可以了。以后保持一个星期1-2次就可以了,不要间断,并不时的向他汇报一下自己最近在做的实验或最新发表或已发表的论文,同时还要记得诸如节日问候之类的细节。这要求申请者的学术背景很强,能谈得长久。

首先当然是简要的自我介绍,然后就该谈谈你对他的研究的看法了,提出自己的见解和问题,一般情况下教授都会乐于与你讨论的。如果已经处于申请期,大可直接就问有没有position,很正常的。

而在介绍自己论文的时候,除了谈你在这片论文中的contribution后,也可以详细说一下通过研究这个论文所涉及的题目,你懂得了哪些东西,尤其是掌握了哪些方法,当然如果你真的对其很有研究,你可以提出你个人对这个论文研究题目的修改性意见,这会使得你在教授心目中的位置有很大的提升空间。

如果学术没有那么雄厚,那么背景和基础就是要强调的地方,这就是从potential和match方面来发展了,目的是要让教授相信你有为他打工的能力,尤其是在这个背景单一已经有碍发展的interdisciplinary的时代。比如某学生是EE的属于电子类,却申请了其中一个program是偏环保的就可以说自己有很好的数学、编程和电子的基础,同时还在自学环境工程,很希望用电子的背景来为环保服务。然后就具体谈教授的项目,如他曾经做过用电子办法解决环境问题的,是这两者的结合,这就非常地有效果。

拿到AD的申请人套辞又相对简单一些,首先说明自己已经拿到AD(说明自己已经合格了,剩下就差钱了);其次,对该学校很感兴趣;然后,对该教授的研究相当感兴趣,并且有决心做好(参照以上论述)。只要教授看上你了,自然会提及funding。实在不行,直接写信把困难说说,再问问funding的事

收到正面或者中立态度的回信后应该立即回一封热情洋溢的信,即使收到负面态度的回信也最好礼貌地表达遗憾和等待他回心转意的决心。最后要注意这个过程中保持充实独特的内容、诚挚合作的意向和不卑不亢的风度。毕竟这就像是个找工作的过程,双赢的结果才是最好的。

3.套磁信形式:简明为上.

第一封套磁信言简意赅地说明来意,100~300字足够,不必写万言书;可以附带简历,PS 可免。如果简历不长,建议放在邮件正文里,因为某些教授的邮箱已经设置成有附件直接删除的。

Dear Prof. XXXX,

Greetings!

I am XXX XXX, currently a college senior at the University of Toronto, Canada. I&aposm studying in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences with Pharmacology and Economics being my double major, and I am about to receive my degree in the coming June. However, I am very interested in programs that are more quantitative and analytical, such as the QCF program at your university, and I hope to pursue an education in this program at my master&aposs level of studies. I understand that admission to these programs at your university is highly selective, and usually such programs require a good command of mathematics and computational skills of the applicants. So I plan to strengthen my background in these two fields at U of Toronto over the next year and apply to your program for application for Fall 2011. Therefore, I do want to listen to your authoritative analysis of my situation and plan ahead. Would you please kindly look over my transcript and offer me some suggestions as for what other courses I need to take in order to meet your prerequisite requirement and to enhance my competitiveness for admission? I have hereby scanned my transcript and would you please refer to the attachment? Your reply and suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,

XXX

Dear Professor ********:

I am a working professional at KPMG China since September 2008, who wishes to apply for the Master program in Finance at your honored department. By writing to you, I wonder whether I have the possibility to be admitted by your program.

Briefly speaking, I graduated from Tongji University, China with undergraduate major Statistics and minor Finance in July 2008. My TOEFL iBT score is 88 and GMAT score is 680 (V 32,Q 49,AW 4.5), and undergraduate overall GPA is around 3.6/5.0 (Tongji University sets very strictly score system). Please refer to my CV at the end of this letter for more information.

I find that your master program fits my interest perfectly. With solid foundations in mathematics and practical experience I hope can penetrate in the area of finance at master phase. I wish I can have the chance to take master study under your direction.

As a result, I am looking forward to suggestions for the application to your program. I would be happy to act on your advice.

Best regards,
