下面文字是从一个教授的网站弄下来的:
So now think about this when you email me asking to be my student but you have no publications in a top-tier database research conference (SIGMOD, VLDB), no relevant industry experience, have never taken a database course, and are notmajoring in computer science. Do you sound like you are worth $500,000 from my perspective? I don't care that you think you are a fast learner. I don't care that you are going to take a MOOC on databases over the summer before you start grad school to fill in your background gaps. I don't care that you want to come to CMU and build a graph DBMS. I don't care that you are "passionate" about "big data".
I'm sorry if I sound heartless, but it's reality. Just like not everyone can run a trap well, not everyone is cut out to do a Ph.D in databases.
