我申请的农业植物类的专业,我给一个牛校教授发邮件套磁,他回复我说他看过我的材料,但是我申请的方向只是他的研究方向的一个小的交叉分支,问我愿意做他的大方向否,我说我愿意。然后他回复说
The best student is one that works fairly independently, is creative at what they are doing, and also productive.
No doubt you could do all those. I think if you are serious about UI, you really need to contact the graduate coordinator and plant to visit/interview.
Oh - that makes it more difficult. For some reason I thought you were in MI.
What you really need is acceptance from a faculty member for providing funds. That is the most difficult part especially when an interview may be impossible.
