墨尔本大学的教授也太负责任了！

3月份突生念头申请墨尔本大学。发了一个 research proposal过去
对方的教授给我提出了好几个建议让我修改，和我讨论。这样来来回回已经好几封邮件了，我发过去后基本当天都能看到对方针对我的想法的回复，并且对方教授每次都提出了自己的想法。

我的天！不知道他们一年有多少人申请！要是这样，他们岂不是要累死了！

态度积极点,思想先进点,前途无量啊！

Unfortunately, it's completely USELESS in terms of application for a scholarship. My BF also applied to U of Melbourne last year and the professor he contacted just sent him a research proposal straightaway for him to include in his application package. Moreover, that professor is a senior fellow of Australia Academy of Science as well as former head of department. He even commented that my BF had an excellent chance to win a scholarship. Even with the support from that huge guy, my BF still failed the scholarship because his GPA was only 3.5 though he had one non-first-author paper published in a prestigious international journal by then. Therefore, it will NOT help anything unless you are originally a well-qualified applicant with superior academic merits.:loveliness:

It is very difficult to get a scholarship in Australia. In Australian system, academic departments usually have neither TA/RA nor their own fellowships for International students. The normal way to get a full scholarship is to apply for IPRS, an Australian government scholarship which provides full tuition fee. In most cases an IPRS winner can also get a living stipend from the university. In addition, some good universities also give a number of extra full scholarships from their own funds for international PhD students who fail the IPRS.

The competition for IPRS and other forms of full scholarships is exptremely intense. The selection procedure is very rigorous. As the first step, you must get support from a professor who is willing to supervise your PhD work. Otherwise, you are not allowed to apply. Then, every department assigns a score to each applicant based on academic merit (mainly GPA), research potential (papers published in international journals or conferences) and/or relevant work experience. After that, they make a ranking of all applicants according to the score. The university scholarship commitee will collect all the departmental rankings and make a university-wide ranking by taking into account factors like the quota for each department and/or the research strength of the proposed supervisor etc. Based on that university-wide final ranking, the scholarship commitee will determine who are the winners for these scholarships. It is estimated that the success rate is between 20:1 and 30:1. In other words, on average, one winner out of every 20--30 applicants.

In your case, being accepted by a professor is only the very first step on the long way to get a scholarship. So don't take that too seriously.

Good Luck!:loveliness:

恩,谢谢oz (rainbow) ~
我也知道这只是第一步,所以我才说啊,那么多人申请,他们教授都这样岂不是很累!
我申请的是语言认知方面的,大学英语老师7年,211学校英语语言学硕士,独立论文3个,不过都是国内学报发表的,还有7,8本参编的书.不知道结果怎么样,反正就等馅饼砸在脑袋上了，砸不到拉倒!呵呵

En, sounds promising! I rekon you are quite a strong applicant for a Melbourne scholarship.

God bless you! :cool:

人家不会每个人都这样,他是对你感兴趣.最起码AD是保了基本.

说明教授好啊，不负责的是不回复你的，连拒信都没有的啊，祝你好运！

yourkathyUID: 2209301

呵呵，谢谢大家的支持阿！没有钱我是不会去的，澳洲具体情况我也不太了解，就是心血来潮才申请的，如果象OZ说的那样，竞争这么激烈，而且还不像美国那样教授给钱，也不一定太有戏的。悉尼大学的教授也是要了我的硕士论文和research proposal，看上去都很友好。谁知道呢！

申请墨大文科PHD我只听说过2个人拿到全奖, 一个是清华的经济学本科生, , 另外一个是会计学硕士毕业的, GPA都很高, 其他条件不明. 因为一般奖学金都向理科生倾斜, 文科生拿奖的比例很小, 因此很难根据背景预测拿奖的概率.:loveliness:

yourkathyUID: 2209301

也就是说文科生要和理科生放在一起竞争啊?那太不公平了!

rainfarUID: 2177542

有什么不公平的,呵呵.

yourkathyUID: 2209301

呵呵,因为文科科研背景都弱

没办法呀, 现状是学校科研经费收入的绝大部分是理工类挣来的, 按比例向理工类倾斜也属正常.:loveliness:
