我觉得你就回一下 就说你看了文章 觉得很有意思 然后说和你以前的哪些经验和兴趣相关 希望可以有机会做教授的学生 就行了
不要提什么proposal之类的 毕竟你还都不是人家学生呢 也不要似是而非地问什么问题 除非你真的有很困惑的问题
毕竟你的目标是录取 不是别的

这封信之前，我们一直在聊研究方向。我曾提到了XX方法的运用，然后他说他的研究生正在用XX方法做AAA的研究。然后我就说了用XX方法做BBB的研究如何（和AAA是高度相关的。这个当然不是我原创，不少文献都做了，但是应该还算新，还有完善的地方）。然后他说XX方法用在BBB上could be promising就发给我一篇关于BBB的论文，这篇论文里没有用XX方法。

我现在有一些想法，但是不知道对不对，也害怕说的不合适让人家反感。不知我这个算不算学术套，猜姐指点一下我下一步该咋套呢？

算不算学术套能怎么样呢 反正你要的是录取 而不是学术
你和教授说过你想申grad school么

第一封就说了。他说背景和他的研究相关，他让我写一写具体想做什么研究。所以才有了后面的讨论

谢谢猜姐 。按猜姐的意思，应该是不鼓励对教授的论文品头论足，这个建议很有帮助呀。

猜姐，我再弱问下，所谓“似是而非的问题”具体是哪一类？能不能举个例子呢？

Like, the paper talks about a certain method using equipment A.
You ask "what does equipment A do here?"
that is "似是而非的问题"

by 似是而非的问题 I mean you dont really have to ask the prof to get the answer. You can google the answer easily or find it on some books. Asking those kind of questions would make the prof thinks you are stupid or you do not know how to solve a problem independently or your intention of asking that question is not genuine.

猜姐，请问UBC的CS，如果把GRE分送过去会是一个plus吗？

You get a reply like this and you are asking me if it is positive or not???? Use your own judgment! What do you think this is? Man, be confident with yourself! You dont need someone to keep telling you you are doing great. If you are doing great, face it and admit it. And work hard to do better!

唉，猜姐，我就是很不自信，犹豫了很久还是让猜姐帮我看看，因为我觉得可能advisor想让更多人申对谁都比较积极，而且项目比较贵，是我想多了，越申越怀疑了。。
