关于RL的推荐 希望大家帮我考虑下选哪几个

traceroute_suUID: 2923009

我是新手，不知道版聊规矩，如果不对，希望斑竹纠正一下，我会及时改正。
我的问题是关于我的RL，就是Recommendation Letter.
我有几个人选，但是我拿不定主意，究竟哪个更有说服力。
NO.1：是我在国内的大学老师，副教授，带我参加日本的国际人工智能大赛，现在是学院院长。可能要我自己写出来，他确认，但是现在都是网络搞定，有些许麻烦。

NO.2：我在国内大学的老师，副教授，我出国之后就没怎么联系了，但是还是可以联系上，这位老师是实验室的负责人，现在读博士深造呢，我在他实验室做了很多PLC的实验，拿到了日本OMRON的证书，并且自己编写了一些PLC程序，但是比较简单，比如自动售货机的PLC程序。

NO.3:还是我国内大学的教授，这个教授有名气但是跟我关系不是很熟悉，只是我们总是讨论论文如何发表，在专业方面沟通有限，他同意给我写RL。

NO.4：是我在美国大学的副教授，华人，但是在IEEE协会排名比较靠前，我是她课上的学生，她对我印象非常深刻，因为课程的争论，我曾经与她争论并且跟阿三课上搞了一次，最后她给了A。

NO.5.：我在美国大学客座教授，这位教授以前是港大博导，这位副教授带了两次课程，印象也比较深刻，因为最后一次的选课，我做FINAL的时候，提前交卷，并且完全答对问题，7个问题答对4个就可以，但是我第二个交卷子并且全部完成，而且正确。两门课程都是给我的A。

NO.6: 这位教授是美国大学在通信方面的大牛，他没有直接教授我的课程，但是他是NO.4的挚友，在那次跟NO.4教授的争论中，他认识了我，并且多次在我的advisor面前夸奖我，也给我GA的机会，但是由于时间问题，我没有选择他的GA，有交流，但是专业交流不多。

NO.7：我在美国大学的副教授，这位老师是NYU的博士毕业，台湾人，对中国学生甚好，带我一门课，成绩是A。对我印象也比较深刻，因为在一次project的过程中，因为团队合作问题，我跟我的TEAM MEMBER出现了内部问题，就是程序协调不力，最后出现了两套projects，这位教授十分严格，一定要我们选一套，剩下那套不能使用，最后使用了我们另一组的project，但是另一组的程序出现了严重问题，成绩倒数第一，但是在关键时刻，我还是劝说我的组员，起到了协调作用。最后他给我的成绩是A。

NO.8:日本东芝总部公司的客户经理，这位经理在我参加日本的人工智能比赛的时候，跟我交流非常的多，并且很热情的给我写了RL，但是专业没有涉及，其中他的RL中提到了我非常好的团队协作和严谨精神。

NO.9:是我在美国的大学的advisor，这个advisor人非常好，但是我们没有学术交流，他知道我的学术成绩主要在我成绩单和别的教授介绍知道的，对我也非常热情，我也因为学期课程结束送过她礼物。

另外，我的美国大学GPA是4.0. 国内大学不是很高，85吧。
BTW，我的国内教授老师，邮箱没有正式的edu域名，都是gmail或者yahoo邮箱，我可以利用他们的名字申请邮箱，然后操作么，不知道这样风险如何，但是我肯定跟教授都说一声。
这么多的人选，我实在很纠结，不知道哪个能好一些。希望大家能多给点建议，申请在即，非常感激。

How many RL you need?
I suggest you to pick 1 non-academic reference and the other pick research related ones

Normally, 3 is enough.
My initial goal is UCB, and they do recommend 3 letters.
The problem is i dont hv any clues to choose.if i choose the non-academic one , which aspect should be highlighted?
I DO know all the RL should have MUTUAL effects. Thats the key i can hardly master.

You need a nonacademic because you want to show your personality. Show you are a responsible reliable person who can be a team player and get alone with others, and show you have a life other than school and research.

The other two you can pick academic, one I would say show your academic strength, and the other show your research strength.

K.
basically, I'm struggling about which one to choose. US prof better or Chinese prof.  
Or, if i may, could u give me some recommendations after u read my descriptions about the profs I listed above when u r free?

I didn't mean 2 bother u. bt if i could make the decision, i would not probably post the question here. Really quite helpless...... @_@!~

traceroute_suUID: 2923009

of course, I DO believe u r much more experienced than I.

GuessyUID: 2184792

Definitely use 8 as your NAQ.

GuessyUID: 2184792

pick one of 4 6 7 as your academic one, I would pick 4 if I were you
and use 1 as your research one

dont you have any research experience in US?

我觉得你可以把这些推荐人组合一下，除了你自己导师必填以外，其他每个人帮你填一两所的推荐信，那就不会很麻烦他们了。

Guessy 发表于 2011-8-25 04:09

sorry 4 my late reply.
I was in SF,CA.
How about u?

Based on your recommendation, as of non-academic one, the Japanese. maybe it's a little hard 4 me to get contact with him. U know, the tsunami. But I would have a try.  How about my advisor in the US university?

And mentioned the academic one(NO.4), I venture to guess whether it is the reason  she is senior IEEE member?  How about NO.5 OR NO.6 OR NO.7?

The last one, research strength. In ur opinion, NO.1 is the only one which can highlight my research experience? Right?


All in all, I got a concern that I left China for 3 yrs, these profs are little hard 4 me 2 get in touch with, but the problem can be easily handled with.
Sometimes, I wanna make sure whether the US profs' RL is more convinced or not. 'cause I got 4.0 GPA in the US, in contrast, 3.5 or less in China.

Yes, I know i got sooo many doubts. And thatz exactly the reason i'm struggling.

Sorry to occupy ur precious time, but I do need help..... THX.
