我是申请2006 fall。准备申请5-6所大学,近期和这几所大学的教授联系了一下,希望经验和大家分享。
申请的名单:MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, Cornell, Wisconsin-Madision,
如下为这几个大学的回信。
UC Berkeley我同时联系了两个教授,他们都给我回信了,由于他们是一个group,而且有很多project是共同申请的,所以我觉得没什么不妥。
第一个教授的回信,巨长的一封mail,老师很负责
Dear Mr. XXX
Thank you for your interest in my research program at UC Berkeley. While I
have worked with a student on XXX. It sounds like you have access to some very nice equipment for such studies that I do not possess. The former student, Professor XXX, is on the faculty of National Central University in the Republic of China.
Some of my research is still related to XXX(我的topic), 接着是他的research interest。
I would encourage your application to the Berkeley Environmental Engineering program, but I would like to express some caution. Our admission requirements for students with masters degrees from other institutions are more rigorous since we use the MS degree to screen our students for the PhD program. In addition, students arriving with a masters degree still need to pass a few examinations that slow down their progress, and there needs to be an adviser identified prior to admission. That being said, all of my current PhD students have masters degrees from other institutions, thus it is possible.
I hope this helps clarify a little on my research directions
Prof XXX
Berkeley第二个教授的回信
Greetings,
Thanks for your interest in my research program -- your background and interests are quite well suited to my group. It is really too early to tell right now what the funding situation will be next fall. I have one proposal that is pending, and I have several others that I am working on. I would encourage you to apply for the program and we can see where the funding situation stands as we get further along the process.
Good luck!
XXX
