My biggest advice is, if you want to go abroad to study, eventaully you will be able to do it, but the biggest challenge is what really interests you. Chinese people will find a job and will make a living (green card, house, car, kids ect), but very few know their true interest, even if when they finally realize what are their interests years ago, they do not have the opportunity to pursue their interests anymore. Before you pick the school,
　　think about this, the earlier you know, the better.

　　Good luck and God bless you!

　　然后又是继续天天看学校教授的情况，整个过程持续了一个月。不停的询问教授课题情况和是否招人。以下是部分学校的回信。这些学校都是我因为种种原因没有挑选的，比如GT不够高，竞争过于激烈等等，或者态度不友好什么的，还有条件夸张的比如UTHSC-HOUSTON的CANCER BIOLOGY要求G的V到80%
　　Brandeis的两位教授回信
　　Dear N,
　　Thank you for your interest in my laboratory. The Biochemistry Program at Brandeis University has a strong emphasis on enzymology which I believe would fit your interests. You can learn more about this program at:
　　http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/biochem01/phd_biochem.html
　　I should tell you that we can take very few foreign students and the applicant pool is very large and talented, although with one published paper already, your application would be quite strong.

　　Dear N
　　Please visit the website for your graduate studies for information:
　　http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/
　　However the chances are quite slim because our program can only admit one foreign student per year due to the fact that the students are paid by a training program that is limited to domestic students.

　　UIUC的教授对我的方向很感兴趣，后来告诉我我的G太低了，被录取很难。建议重新考~
　　University of California–Irvine 要tse
　　SUNY–Buffalo 发邮件问小米了申请太激烈了

　　在这个过程中排除了很多学校，基本上敲定了自己的学校。都是比较友好，或者是朋友推荐申请的。不过话说回来很多时候教授态度比较好，但没说要你之前什么都不好说，很可能他会变卦。这样的情况我也遇到了的。一个在我看来对我很敢兴趣的教授到后面就不回我EMAIL了，以下是他最后一封回信。
　　Dear N,
　　I looked over your resume. While your verbal GRE and TOEFL scores are a bit
　　low, they are in an acceptable ran
