我对内容上有些不确定:自己写了自己的一次学生时代的创业经历和家庭变故(主要是想表现自己遇到困难和挫折不后退),但看到很多PS 模板都是和学术内容有关的,想问问这合不合适?帮我修改PS的老外说自己对PS不了解,只负责语法和表达的修改。所以还得请教各位尚友,真心谢谢了。以下是我的PS 初稿:

What attracts me most is applied science and engineering and one of my career goals is that one day my theories or patents can be applied to industrial departments. That is why I determined to pursue a PhD degree in Chemical Engineering with an emphasis in fine chemical engineering or research and development of chemical engineering processes.

Still lost in the shadow of my mother’ death (she passed away in my high school time) and being taciturn and a little negative when I was a freshman, next year, I realized it is the time to cheer up. As the sponsor of a three-group team, I came up with the innovative ideas of establishing the Mobile Newspaper of our university as a new business model. It went well at first, but because of some marketing problems, it went bankrupt. I lost myself again. Fortunately and accidentally, I took part in the social practice organized by our university during the winter holidays in 2011, Alumni Interviews, and I was lucky to have the chance to interview five successful alumni. Through the interview, I got to know the poignant memories behind their success and felt their dogged and positive spirits toward life, which encouraged me to get out of my own failure.

During my undergraduate study, I always focused on cultivating academic excellence. Despite fierce competition in university, I ranked 6th in the entire class during the past three years. I have acquired many experimental skills from inorganic, organic, analytical, physical and comprehensive experiments. I also have a good command of chemical engineering equipments and distributed control system by attending the courses of Chemical Engineering Experiment and Simulation Experiment. Through Course Design of Chemical Engineering Principles and of Chemical Engineering Equipment, I got a deep understanding of the basic procedure and methods of chemical engineering design.

In October 2012, I participated in the Professor Zhang Qikun’s project: the separation of n-butyl alcohol-water system of less than azeotropic composition. There were two optional chemical processes we could choose: the traditional two- rectifying columns process and the combined process of membrane and single rectification column process. After long and serious considerations, we adopted the second one because it consumes less energy. In the project, I made the calculation of material and heat balance, simulated the combined process of membrane separation and rectification column with Aspen, drew process flow diagram with AutoCAD. Among all the achievements, what I feel most proud of is that I came up with innovative ideas of using the heat exchanger and separator to replace of the membrane in Aspen in order to simulate the whole process because as we know, there is no membrane model in the model library in Aspen. It was through the project that I realized that there were many deficiencies of existing chemical processes and we need to develop better chemical processes with less energy consumption and pollution.

My ultimate objective is to develop new chemical processes or improve some extant chemical processes, which can be applied to industrial departments. As for my career plan, I wish to be a productive and original professor who has close connections with industrial departments. To achieve these goals, I need systematic training at a more advanced level badly. The reason why I choose your university is that it provides the best environment for graduate education, including competitive and inspiring academic atmosphere, active and fruitful research, access to first-class facilities, and close interaction between students and its high-quality faculty. So I’m eager to further my study in your university. Your favorable evaluation of my application will be highly appreciated.

个人意见,你自己看着来昂~ 我也不是牛人,也不了解你,我就简单说说我的意见吧。而且你要知道,一稿一般都会被批的很惨,你千万别怕被打击。。。作为一个被打击过很多遍的人,我了解那种感受,但一定要听得进去别的人的意见,但不要一味的接纳,要经过自己的思考,如果你觉得完全没道理,不接受也罢。OK,我开始写了。

What attracts me most is applied science and engineering and one of my career goals is that one day my theories or patents can be applied to industrial departments. That is why I determined to pursue a PhD degree in Chemical Engineering with an emphasis in fine chemical engineering or research and development of chemical engineering processes.

1.开头这两个大长句读的我很不舒服。喘不过气的感觉。建议改短。
2. 研究兴趣和追求phd的原因混着写好么?个人感觉有点混乱,建议最好先写个中文稿,把逻辑弄清。
3. Pursue PhD的理由。我一开始也不知道怎么能写的正式点,因为我头脑简单,总觉得因为有趣啊喜欢啊,所以去学。但应该深挖掘一下,建议你多问问师兄师姐的意见。你pursue的理由一方面来自你对这个学科想要深入了解的愿望,另一方面也可能是这个学科对社会对人们有帮助,你也希望可以通过学习来创造价值,造福人民。当然这话太假大空,你可不能直接这么写,一定要有specific的example来支撑。

Still lost in the shadow of my mother’ death (she passed away in my high school time) and being taciturn and a little negative when I was a freshman, next year, I realized it is the time to cheer up. 这句我也不喜欢,虽然家母去世对你负面影响很大,但你不过陈述了个事实,后面就接你realized该崛起了,但你到底是怎么想的?什么事情激发了你觉得该努力了?你也没说清楚。如果这样的话你前面写家母去世就好像在博取同情。那我觉得就没必要写了。 As the sponsor of a three-group team, I came up with the innovative ideas of establishing the Mobile Newspaper of our university as a new business model. It went well at first, but because of some marketing problems, it went bankrupt. I lost myself again.这句和前面没有联系,要不你就直接写你的学术表现,参加了某个teamwork,你得简要先说明一下参加这个team的时间,以及这个teamwork是干什么的,要解决什么问题,然后为毛是你提出了某Innovative idea,你是怎么想到这个的。而且你别老提你lost lost的,一大男人哪那么容易lost啊!你得表现你虽然遇到困难,但不是沮丧消沉,而是积极的寻找解决问题的方法,ok? Fortunately and accidentally另,我挺不喜欢看到别人ps里写什么幸运的是***,我幸运的得到***,你得相信你的幸运不是运气,是你努力得到的。你可以写:I seized the opportunity to *** 或者 I was selected as a *** to participate ** 而不是啥都凭运气, I took part in the social practice organized by our university during the winter holidays in 2011, Alumni Interviews, and I was lucky to have the chance to interview five successful alumni. 减少and使用,学会断句。Through the interview, I got to know the poignant memories behind their success and felt their dogged and positive spirits toward life, which encouraged me to get out of my own failure.不知道是不是我水平太次,我觉得楼主用的词有些太大了,建议更换一些同义的简单词汇,会让人读着更舒服。


先改这么多,我去吃个饭~ 我十分建议楼主真的是先写个中文稿,把行文逻辑搞清楚,比如你可以按时间发展顺序来写你对这个学科从感兴趣到了解到做项目什么的,不要东写一块西写一点的。不要因为有老外帮你改就完全不注重语句,逻辑。其实他们不会给你改特别多,就是改改语法什么的。所以还是要自己好好写的,不要偷懒!快点写,争取多改几遍,改的越多PS才会越好,各种deadline将近,要加油啊!

吃完饭了,接着来帮你看看~

During my undergraduate study, I always focused on cultivating academic excellence. (直接写I have a solid background in *** )Despite fierce(strong/ intensified会不会好点) competition in university, I ranked 6th(排名要写总人数,专业就6个人排第六和专业180人排第六不一样) in the entire class during the past three years. I have acquired many experimental skills from inorganic, organic, analytical, physical and comprehensive experiments. I also have a good command of chemical engineering equipments and distributed control system by attending the courses of Chemical Engineering Experiment and Simulation Experiment. Through Course Design of Chemical Engineering Principles and of Chemical Engineering Equipment, I got a deep understanding of the basic procedure and methods of chemical engineering design. 这段写的倒是中规中矩,但是感觉太泛泛,缺乏具体事例。比如你说你某方面学的好,那你有没有过成功的presentation?publication?competition awards?可以来反映你确实在这方面有能力。

与上段缺乏起承转合In October 2012, I participated in the Professor Zhang Qikun’s project: the separation of n-butyl alcohol-water system of less than azeotropic composition. There were two optional chemical processes we could choose: the traditional two- rectifying columns process and the combined process of membrane and single rectification column process. After long and serious considerations, we adopted the second one because it consumes less energy. In the project, I made the calculation of material and heat balance, simulated the combined process of membrane separation and rectification column with Aspen, drew process flow diagram with AutoCAD. Among all the achievements, what I feel most proud of is that I came up with innovative ideas(和上文重复,换个说法。另外主语太长,啰嗦。) of using the heat exchanger and separator to replace of the membrane in Aspen in order to simulate the whole process because as we know, there is no membrane model in the model library in Aspen. It was through the project that I realized that there were many deficiencies of existing chemical processes and we need to develop better chemical processes with less energy consumption and pollution. 这段感觉写的还行吧,但专业我也不懂,建议让研二以上的师兄师姐or你的导师帮你看看。因为专业方面容易写的幼稚浅薄,为了避免,必须让上述人群帮你把把关。

My ultimate objective is to develop new chemical processes or improve some extant chemical processes, which can be applied to industrial departments. (请specific,化学这学科那么大,能应用的方面多了去了,你到底想怎么改变怎么创新,具体应用到那个方面)As for my career plan, I wish to be a productive and original professor who has close connections with industrial departments. To achieve these goals, I need systematic training at a more advanced level badly. The reason why I choose your university is that it provides the best environment for graduate education, including competitive and inspiring academic atmosphere, active and fruitful research, access to first-class facilities, and close interaction between students and its high-quality faculty. So I’m eager to further my study in your university. Your favorable evaluation of my application will be highly appreciated. 这段后面还是太泛泛了。。。。。

我觉得,如果偷懒,就跟中介给写个PS,一篇应用与所有学校,那就不算是一篇有针对性的好PS。你可以多去你想申学校的主页上看看他们的介绍,比如他们有什么实验基地,老师在做的项目非常special,很创新吸引你,他们和很多其他组织federal/state/companies/ other universities有很多合作什么的都可以使吸引你的地方,可以把这个加进去,作为你为什么要选择这个学校的这个program的原因。

看了楼主的PS,修改时应注意:

1. 逻辑,前面说过
2. 脚踏实地,避免假大空,请specific
3. 语言冗赘,请尽量写得清楚,而不是绕来绕去。长句短句穿插。

一稿写成这样很正常,二稿就会好很多的,楼主要用心改啊~ 我的一稿也差不多这样,正常,太正常了!所以千万别灰心!
另,因为我不是你专业的,而且本人写作水平也很烂,所以有些地方提意见也不准确,也无法给出太好的建议,请楼主自己再去找一些专业内的人帮助你!

GOOD LUCK!

如果PS跟SOP只需要一个,那肯定是优先选择SOP的

LZ的这个文章上面有人分析过了,总体来说,你更多的应该写你的学术背景,而且语言一定要positive,所以你个人非学术经历就别写了吧,虽然我也很同情你,但是这个写了没啥用

学校希望看到的是一个winner who can control his life,所以你有的没的挫折就别放上去了,况且我看到你学术上的“挫折”根本是一些无关紧要,甚至可以避免的东西,写上去了只能证明你的incapability。

然后第三段,我觉得这一段纯粹就是在重复你CV而已,没意义。

第四段稍微好一点,但是你proud的东西最后带来什么成果?不是说想出来一个idea就是值得proud的,很可能那是一个bad idea。

第五段太宽泛,要针对不同学校写不同的东西。

总体来说,逻辑没有连起来,就是说这几段完全是独立存在,没有任何关联的,这样不好;而且你选择这个专业的理由太宽泛了,比如应用到工业上去,能应用的专业多了去了,为啥你偏偏选这个?
