作为一名专业的潜水员，这还是我第一次在这里发超过100字的帖子。（除了rp比较低外主要是因为打字太慢，gre作文没写完，只得3.5分）。为方便读者把废话都放在后面，先献上我超短的签经。（很多同志反映这种签经会麻痹大家的神经，降低大家准备签证的斗志，所以本签经旨在供对签证过分紧张者放松心情，至于已经很放松的同志们。。。。请继续保持这种良好的心态）
个人情况：吉林大学（谁说我们学校是小本，吉林大学有着悠久的历史和雄厚的实力,求实创新，励志图强。。。。。全文请见http://www.jlu.edu.cn）
材料物理专业
去university of vermont 继续念这个专业， phd, ta全奖，无据签史
签证官是貌似汤姆克鲁斯的glassboy
vo: So, Mr. Li  you are going to purchase a phd degree in the university of vermont
(签证官太主动了，练了半天的的good morning sir没说出去，可惜啊，标准的美音，他听到一定有一种回家的感觉)
me: Yes, I am.
(看他正打字忙着，不好意思打扰他，没顺着往下说学习动机啥的。这句yes, I am说的也是字正腔圆，可以看出我初中打下的坚实语言基础)
vo:Why do you choose this university?
(你看看，自己问了不是)
me: (没听懂，慌了，可以看出初中以后基础都不咋地)
（义正言辞的瞎说道）：
I'm going to purchase a PhD degree in the university of vermont.
(靠，瞎说也没这么瞎说的，怎么把老话又重提了一遍？说出来就知道错了，不过仍恬不知耻的向签证官微笑，着等着他把问题再说一遍)
vo:（善解人意地，放慢速度地）：Why do you choose the university of vermont?
me:(假装什么都没有发生地)Actually, I choose my advisor first. I read his paper published in a sciene       journal, and I am interested in his research. Then I investigated the university on the internet and decided  to apply.
(早有预谋的答案，可用于回答学习动机，和怎样知道的这所学校两个问题。没有具体的谈专业的内容，如果他问起了再说，如果他决定水过我这个答案就够了)
vo:(点头，打字，嘀咕着，ok, ok..)
Your tofel and gre score please.
me:ok.
(被他传染了？给他。)
vo:have a nice trip.88
(塞出我的 i-20 和白条)
me：Thank you, 8.
传说中vo也会来上寄托（glassboy看到本贴请顶一下谢谢，看在我说你像汤姆克鲁斯的份上），所以称他们为水车是不礼貌的。（这是因果关系么？）不过我怀疑以他们的汉语水平能否理解“水车”这个词的深邃含义，戏谑之中带着由心而发的喜爱，像恋爱中的姑娘称自己的恋人为傻瓜。。。（:vomit:  ）
写下我签证过程中出现的问题吧，后人引以为戒：
1。把ds表装在u盘里，想在领事馆对面照相的地方打印，顺便让他给检查一下。谁知人家说不给打印这种，只能他们帮填写，再打印，收100圆（梁山上下来的？）。走出好远才有给打印的地方，那一片都结成同盟了。所以大家还是在家打印好吧。

2。ds158 少印了一面，好像是第一面有几行字写大了，把第一面的一部分挤到了第2面，而我一直以为158只有两面，所以就忽略了那本应是第2面的第3面。进去后重新填的。请大家记住，156是3页，前两页打在一面，第3页单打。157只有一面。158有满满的两面。还有一个经验就是表填错了到里面可以再发一张重填，如果错的不多就用笔在上面改就好了（这条经验大家就不要借鉴了。。。）
最后，贴上我的study plan, 我准备问题的思路基本都是我的sp里写的，没请专家指导过，因此没有什么权威性，仅供大家参考：

Study Plan

My past academic activities and my motivation to further my study:
Currently I’m an undergraduate student in the Department of Material Physics at Jilin University and will graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree this July.  During my undergraduate study, I gained much research experience as well as many good grades. The first research project I took part in was about Nano carbon tubes----a promising future material. (The project is leaded by Professor Weitao Zheng, whose resume is attached to this study plan) Then I started my research for my bachelor thesis （also advised by Prof. Zheng） in the field of thin-film technology (sometimes called coating technology), which is also what I am going to study in the University of Vermont in the United States. This research has significant importance both in theoretical study and industrial applications. On the one hand, the novel properties that the thin films display when their depths are reduced to nano scale（0.000000001 meter）help physicists develop the understanding of micro-world laws; On the other hand, the concept that the properties of materials could be totally changed by proper coating is highly encouraging.

While I was doing my research about thin-films, many ideas came to my mind. But most of them can not be put in to practice. These unrealized ideas are either theoretically inapplicable or limited by my current experiment skills. I realized that if I want to go further on this road, I have to get myself better trained by people with more advanced ideas and skills. Because the research group I currently work in is one of the best of similar groups in China, I have to purchase a PhD degree abroad.

My future advisor and my prospective PhD study
I first knew Prof. Randy. Headrick (resume attached) when I read his paper published in Physical Review B. I learned that his research is highly original and creative. He is a pioneer in the field of x-ray real-time study of thin-films who built the first instrument for that study in 1985. I have been interested in this field for quite a long time. However, as far as I know, few professors in China are working on it. It would be a fantastic opportunity for me to learn what I desired to learn and satisfy my research interest if I could go to UVM and study under his adivce. So I applied for the material science program in UVM.


My Ph.D. study is expected to start from August 2007 and finish before August 2013, in the department of physics (material science program), College of Engineering and Mathematical Science.  In my first year I will take courses. After that I will start my full time research. My research will be about the synthesis and characterization of novel materials, especially thin-films.  I'm particularly interested in the real-time x-ray analysis of micro-structure evolution. It means to test the micro-structures of materials (including thin-films) while they are changing. I am highly motivated and confident that I can complete my PhD study and make contribution to my group and society.
My career prospect after graduate from UVM
I want to choose science research as my life long career. To get a research position in a Chinese university or institution is the best choice for me, for the following reasons:
1. I would become a pioneer of this field in China if I come back.
Although the research about thin-films is mature in US and some other developed countries, it is a relatively new field in China on which only a small number researchers are working. And there are even fewer people who can apply real-time X-ray analysis method to this research. But in US, this kind of people are certainly not rare. My future advisor opened this field in 1985. So my knowledge and skill would be much more valued in China than in US.
2. Chinese government and institutions have set up a system to attract students with oversea background.  This system enable me to start my independent research sooner and receive much more attention if I come back to China.
