个人认为，一定要去试！想想，一旦成功，就有可能拿钱上学；如果不成，说说又不伤什么感情。当初看到好多人在自己lg实验室作volunteer， 后来有上学工作的。自己也是不好意思让lg出面，天天坐在电脑前撒网发信，等待回复，路子还是要艰难好多。强烈支持去试试看。。。

是啊，babybunny，介绍一些经验把。
我也一直在愁苦，不知道该怎么陶瓷。 很多人都说让我直接到教授办公室找他们谈，可我又不知道该谈些什么。 发信给他们，又没有回音。
都说在这边有优势，怎么没觉得呢？：（

yumeng，yuli ， 你们都是和劳工一个专业的吗？我和劳工专业一点关系都没有，他帮不上忙，只有干着急。

不是，想换专业或找工作，有很多人多成功了，而且不用累死累活  考试和读书。

First of all, I tried to get the information about who are the nice professors of the department. who had funding, who would probablly need some master students to work for his project. Then I wrote email to the one I like mostly. My GRE verbal score is very very low. But I have high GPA and not bad working experience. I told the professor that I'm interested in his research erea, and want to study from him blah, blah. At very beginning, he told me he did not have funning and opening for me. so I was a little disappointed. However, after some weeks, he told me he had an opening, but since my verbal score is low, he wanted to talk with me first. So I went to his office and talked with him. He asked me some general questions, and asked the project coordinator to ask me some java questions. After that, he thought although my verbal is low, but he has no problem when commnunicating with me. I also told him  I could work for him as a  volunteer, since I just want to do something. He thought it was unfair to me, because he could not pay for me before I got F1 status. I told him it is ok, and I do not care about the payment, blahblah. In sum, I just showed him how eager I wanted to study and work. Then he allowed it.

After the talk, I wrote an email to the committee chair about this. Then the committee chair asked the professor some information about me. The professor told him that he thought I could finish the master program, although my verbal is low. Then I got my admission.

However, I did not get offer at that time, since the offer to new international students should be one year, but the professor was not sure if he could get funding in spring. After I worked for 4 months, the project coordinator is really satisfied with what I had done. So the professor is happy, and gave me a one-year offer at the beginning of the fall semester.

So, try to contact with professors, and do not be shy. Show them your strength, and let them know you are good.

谢谢babybunny
我也准备“下手”了
因为铁心转专业，一直担心自己的学术背景不是很强，
不知道说什么好，恶补了一阵子，豁出去了：）
