昨天给一个在UIUC的博士朋友发邮件,跟他说了说自己打算申请EPS educational policy studies,他回邮件回的那叫一个打击士气。其实自己也有所预料,但赤裸裸的跟我说,心里还是有点失落的。他自己本身就是在EPS这个部门,相信他对EPS的情况还是比较了解的。现附上原文,
Hi,
Your last sentence really makes sense. EPS does not accept as many international students as it used to because of us short of American educational background and the worst job market ever.
If you just want to pursue your interests and then go back to China, that is fine. If you want to find a job and stay in US, that is just simply impossible.

这个方向看起来的确不太好申,本人也在考虑要不要转向语言学和教育学的交叉了。。
希望大家一起来讨论啊。。。
