是申请博士吗，如果是博士的话，你第一句话就要说明自己的研究兴趣是什么，至于为什么喜欢，你可以通过自己的研究经历和社会经历证明。切忌谈那些小时候的梦想了，你要知道读你ps的都是些40岁，50岁的老男人，经验多了，每年看ps无数，内心坚如磐石，一般的小dream是无法打动他们的。

一般而言，对于各种经历都比较欠缺的小本而言，ps应该是体现你的potential，不在乎做的项目大小，而在乎你解决问题、快速学习、团队合作的能力。这些很具体的东西要看lz自己怎么挖掘了，没必写太多例子。

感性的故事确实有神奇的力量，但是如果你没用，请用理性的力量说服那些老男人，他们招你是让你去“打工”的，你和他是工作关系，工作的时候应该谈实质性的东西。

不好意思没看内容。因为字数太多了。
我只写了660字左右，word文档也就一页多一点。招生办平均花在每份PS上面的时间不过一两分钟而已
，所以要写重点，不要写无聊琐碎的东西。
我是直接点名要申请对方的某个master专业，并且以自己的毕业设计为例来进行支持（或者如果你有发表刊物），因为毕业设计跟一名研究生合作实验部分，期刊论文是第三作者，并且毕业论文是校内的优秀毕业设计，算是我学术背景里面最重头的一件事。

其他琐碎的事情都没有提及，大学期间的成绩和所获各种荣誉都可以在我的成绩单和简历里面看到，所以没必要在PS里面再次重复。写了都是垃圾。
大致的思路是：开头点明写自己要申请的program；写自己对某个领域或者某种研究方法感兴趣，为此选择了一个相关的毕业设计，简述一下自己的设计内容；阐述自己对毕业设计的看法，即，学术背景需要继续提升，当然要申请研究生专业；发现对方学校的专业很符合自己的兴趣，对对方program的哪一部分特别感兴趣（甚至可以具体到某个/某几个faculty），期待自己可以学到什么，并且可以在学校里面以及以后的工作什么的有什么贡献。最后点题，说我很match你们的program。

感谢诸位的建言献策，参考各位的意见，我对原作进行了大幅改动，尤其是科研部分，本人小本，申PhD，很多不懂。请大家对这份修改版再提些意见。
Statement of Purpose
      In my formative years, my parents often taught me to cherish education and independent thought. With the significant value of the pursuit of excellence, as well as perseverance, I always enjoyed embracing and overcoming life’s challenges, instead of evading. From my early age, the cloud-capped radio mast near my house indeed intrigued my interest and thus inspired me to explore further in the territory of electromagnetics. As a consequence, through the Chinese National College Entrance Exam, during which I ranked 0.7% in my province, I was selected into the Electrical Engineering program at an elite Chinese university, M University.

      During my first semester in the university, I went into Professor A’s research group in National Laboratory for Optoelectronics. When involving to do some of experiment about the laser speckle imaging, I help to set up the laser speckle contrast imagine system for blood flow imaging, which contains a He-Ne laser, beam expander mirrors, polaroid and analog CCD camera. I also completed high constant current LED drivers there. Finishing these circuit systems independently is a challenge to a freshman like me, because what I did alone are not only about designing PCBs and building circuits but also programming with the single-chip to provide dot correction in LEDs system. I proposed a creative solution so fewer latches can be used. This accomplishment was an enormous confidence booster, demonstrating to me I could achieve anything if I set my mind to it. Besides, I attended Photonics and Optoelectronics Meetings (POEM) and learnt some latest development of photoelectric measurement and control.

      In 2010, I went to Provincial Key Laboratory forWireless Communication and learnt from Professor B about XXX Radar (this radar is a project of National High-Tech Research and Development Program of China or 863 Program). A radar responder, which can radiate the radio wave to simulate the reflected signal in certain distance for the testing of this radar, became my recent completed project there. Undertaking the biggest project ever in my work, I have undergone considerable technical, mental, and physical challenges. But at last my energy and persistence conquer all things. After fully examining some vital knowledge about radio wave propagation over rough sea surface, I programed to generate a linear frequency-modulated continuous wave with DDS and built the circuit with the function of filtering and amplification to radiate this 200-mw signal away from the antenna. It is an asset in my life to deal with such a complex electromagnetic radiation system.Participating in this project taught me more than how to build circuits and program for the DDS. Most importantly, I learned about the planing and coordination involved in building a large, multi-part system with others.

      Now I started my undergraduate final project about the electromagnetic cavity effects from the transmitter. My work is mainly about using FEKO software to simulate the RF environment. Although no one in my class has used it at that time, depending on my strong self-learning ability, I am fully absorbed into the simulation picture of electromagnetic fields now. I owe much of my achievement in these research projects to my undergraduate study in M University. The Radio Physics is a National Key Discipline in M University. Having immersed myself in this rigorous undergraduate program, I have become well versed in my chosen Major, together with a consolidated grounding in its allied disciplines. My established interest on electromagnetics was intensified with further study. I obtained very high scores and ranks in related courses such as Methods of Mathematical Physics, Electromagnetic Wave and Field, Radio Wave Propagation, Microwave Principles, RF Circuit as well as High Frequency Electronic Circuit and Low Frequency Circuit.

      Naturally, I am contenting to a comforting sense of security should I pursue an electrical engineer career in my home country. However, I find myself currently standing in the shallow end of the pool, and to accomplish my dreams, to draw out the person within me, and to attain the Holy Grail in the field of Electrical Engineering, I am required to venture into those deep waters. Consequently, I elect to apply to the PhD in Electrical Engineering at T University in order to gain a new range of educational and living experiences. With a solid reputation among scholars and students, some faculty members’ research on electromagnetics there appealed to me greatly. I knew a cloaking device capable of hiding a 3D object in free space from microwaves has been created there. I also learnt Dr. Ali's research on the Adaptive Integral Method as well as other researchers’ work.

      I have every confidence to be a Longhorn of the T University. I have strong interest on electromagnetics, which can fuse the advanced mathematics and physics into engineering. I see many people evading from this area for its difficult but as folks say, what we do willingly is easy. Through those projects above, I have not only learned many practical techniques but also acquired a solid theoretical background and a broad scope in scientific research in my fields of interest. I can cooperate with others to make quick progress in electromagnetics. To pursue this PhD with enthusiasm and zeal, I shall mingle theories with practical applications, and bring to the table interesting problems from my experience and past education. Driven by my interest and capacity in electromagnetics, I would expect myself to be a senior professional in the future. Today, the great progress has been made in many areas such as radars, antennas and electromagnetic compatibility. I believe pursuing a PhD degree at T University would be a most reasonable extension of my academic pursuit and the most major step forward toward my career goal.

是的，申博士，你是whu的？

robotlee2002UID: 3079492

看晕了，这么多段落。
就写2，3个段落，2，3件事就可以了吧。

有什么不足吗？请挑一两个细节和例子讲讲

garnettjoeUID: 2506983

hi, LZ我浏览了你的PS，以及后面的修改稿。感觉如下：
（1）very looooong statement~
（2）作为一个本科生，有这么多研究经验，宁人影响深刻
担心如下：
（1）我在看到本科生有这么多的研究经验，在感慨后的第一反应就是怀疑，这个学生真有这么强的能力嘛？会想着找证据
（2）很可能很多人都会“写出”一堆研究经历，当每个人都是这样，前面的宁人影响深刻就会大打折扣，反而可能会使得文章失去价值
以上只是个人看法
good luck

估计没时间专门改了，这两天还收到小米的信，有的说马上要winter break了，还有说要close for finals
本科直博，不是应该多强调科研经历吗？

当然有夸张了，事实上这几个项目都是顺利开头，正常烂尾,当然主体部分还是做出来了，只是有些额外的电路没做出。我用推荐信来佐证这些经历，应该没问题吧？
