各位前辈好!情况是这样的:本人觊觎一个stanford大牛prof一年了,昨天怀着忐忑不安的心情向他发了一封邮件,大意就是自我介绍外加询问有没有phd position。
今天收到回复如下:
Your interests and background certainly look like a good fit
to my lab, and I am always looking for good students.
But first you should apply to a graduate program at Stanford
(such as EE or BioE). You do not apply directly to a lab.
If you apply to Stanford and are accepted, then you may join
any lab that has an opening. And if you are accepted, yes, you can start
working in a lab earlier, for example in the summer.
Also, please make sure to apply for fellowships; for example a few of
my students have been awarded a scholarship from the Chinese
Scholarship Council. But there are also other opportunities that you should
look for. If you bring in some of your own funding, you will
gain much flexibility as a graduate student.
