选校花了我三四个月,如果可以,但愿我用着其中1/4来套磁,也许会有更好的结果。建议同学们多看看坛子里前辈们的经验,多和本校的学长学姐交流。我非常羡慕国内导师是海龟的同学。all in all,早计划,多交流。
有明确的detailed的方向 yes——文献搜索——导师——学校——筛选合适档次的学校(推荐)
no——表1:学校的基本信息表。专业排名N1~N2的excel表格。
1 N1和N2请量力而行
2 items包括学校地点,deadline,是否rolling,G、T、GPA要求,program,acceptance,financial aid。以上信息均可在各学校的graduate admission里找到。
3 鼓励骚扰小米,当年program招多少人?以往international多少?G/T可不可以寄photocopy?application fee可以waive?增大投中概率,省钱,但如果你觉得麻烦可以跳过。(本人没有这么干,如果我干了我今年可能只投5~6个)。
4 有兴趣的话,可以按合适度给各项打分,编一个加权公式,最后得到一个适合你的排名。
表2:合适的professor信息。
1 学校,职称,funding,research interest,publication,邮箱。一般,research interests只要看他最近的funding和publication就可以知道。
2 从funding时间和发文章频率可以看出他又没有可能招人。当然,最好是发邮件询问。
3 身在江湖,要跟对人。

sheet1是120以内所有学校至少两个学院的大表,bug多,所以在此不列。这个表格是从sheet1而来,按照deadline排列。因为UTA网站上说financial aid需要自己在校外申请,放弃了。表中第一列红色是rej,绿色AD,黄色offer,无色未知(估计会红的)。第二列是专业排名。高的太高,低的太低,失败范本有木有!!!
