关于教授回复

刚发了一遍，不晓得为啥被删了。。。。
本来没想申请这个学校，结果一个认识的老师推荐，就发了个邮件问问看，以下是教授回复，不知道看起来积极否？是想把我推给别人，还是只是善意让我多问几个人？要问他推荐的人，要怎么问啊？还是普通介绍下基本情况，问问人家招不招生？
PS 想申请美国的历史学PHD

Thank you for your interest in our program.  We are always interested in good students!  And I think you would be a good fit for us.

I should note that I will personally be on leave next year, and will offer no classes.  If you were to come, that means you would want to pursue classes in your other fields (3 fields are required) in the first year.  

But actually, given your interest, you might decide to may US-Asia relations your main field?  Or even Cold War history?  Our department probably has one of the strongest programs in Cold War history in the US.  If so, I think you should also communicate with Professor XXX since he is our expert on US-East Asia relations.  (And in applications, always good to have more than one professor in the dept know about you).  

As in all inquiries, though, I do want to warn you that our program is very competitive.  The Department has decided to only offer admission to the number of students that we can offer full funding to.  And tht means we only admit around 5 new students a year.  Even so, we currently do have 5 Ph.D. students working on Asia (though different countries and periods).  So Asia is a strong component.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
