留学决胜“套磁季”之(1)

6月是一个什么季节?申请的季节?貌似还没开始。准备考试的季节?8、9、10才是留学最旺的考试季。毕业季?这么伤感的事情,我们还是别提了。那么我们在6月的时候能做什么?对于我们来说,6月其实应该是“套磁季”的开始!那么到底什么是套磁呢?如果我们非要说的很学术化,“套磁”是专指广大考友和想申请学校的有关教授通过Email、信件、电话等联系,并通过联系达到增加自己得到offer的一种方式。无老师怎么感觉有无数只苍蝇在耳边飞舞!

当提到套磁的时候,无老师首先要明确一点,就是某些专业是需要套磁的,但是某些专业不需要套磁的,或者说套磁是没有用的。那么哪些专业需要陶瓷呢?比如说理工科,声乐等需要有导师决定是否收你这个学生的时候,套磁才是有价值的;否则比如说MBA的课程,往往没有一个明确的导师,当上课也是类似于我们传统的“大学课堂”授课方式的课程,套磁是没有意义的,因为并没有明确的某一个人决定你的命运,都是由导师团来开会决定的,因为并没有一个要对你负责任的导师,因此每个人的话语权都只有几分之一。就像是你可以跟金正日金大爷商量是否打响新一轮的朝韩战争,但是你不能跟所有中国人民商量是否再一次抗美援朝,因为这事每个个人的意志都仅仅起到了很小的作用。

这里面很多人会有一个幻觉性的概念,就是如果我有机会搞定了对方学校的院长,那么我就保证能通过导师团的评议,进而进入这所大学,这一个和很显然不清楚国外大学运行机制的考友的想法,在美国学校里面所谓的院长所起到的作用,仅仅是一个组织者的作用,类似于国内的秘书的角色,至于拍板决定一件事情,并不是由院长决定的,而是由大家在开会之后,取得了大多数人的同意的结果。这与国内恰好相反,在国内院长是一种公职,院长的想法决定了这个学院的绝大多数问题的结果。相比于国内院校,国外的大学是真的把“民主”这个概念实行了起来,因此在申请国外学校的时候,一定要注意,如果没有一个要全权负责你研究和学习工作的导师的话,单纯的依靠某一个人,是无法决定自己是否被录取的。如果某个人拍着胸脯向你保证,一定能把你带入某所学校,请你把芙蓉姐姐的电话留给他,并深情的望着他说:晚上,等你的电话。

当无老师向下展开内容的时候,还有第二点也需要说明。“套磁”应该从现在就开始了,甚至你已经晚了!就像是当你在2007年年初的时候,发现中国股市开始狂飙,于是你就开始考虑我是不是该也找山姆大叔借点钱炒股呢?直到2008年5月,你决定了,于是找奥巴马同学借了5000万全都扔进股市。阿里路亚之我弥陀佛!!你就等着赔钱吧!很多人对于套磁有很强烈的错误观念,就是认为自己只有等所有申请材料都寄出去之后,才开始套磁,这个时候黄花菜别说凉了,已经隔夜都馊了!那么套磁应该从什么时候开始呢?其实如果下手早的童鞋,如果是申请2011年的9月秋季入学的话,应该从今年,也就是2010年的4月就已经开始了!啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!你这个时候在惊呼,是么?!无老师在这边都听见了,别激动,现在国内有这种意识的人还不多,其实你从看到这篇文章就开始“套磁”的话,一点都不晚。

怎么样,现在摩拳擦掌,准备开始“套磁”了?这就对了!

马上又遇到下一个问题,怎么“套磁”,是吧。且等无老师下回分解^_^

留学决胜“套磁季”之(2)-GT与陶瓷的关系

当说到留学的时候,也许你可以避开套磁,但是你绝对不可能避开新托福和GRE。有人说,我考雅思,无老师说:郭德纲同学真有文化。很多人把留学简化成为考托福和GRE,然后,把后面所有的事情就都交给了中介。但是,实际上,无数的例子已经证明,中介=花3万块钱找了一个寄包裹的。CV?模板!Personal statement?模板!套磁?模板!闹呢!!!套磁也用模板,这不是跟自己的前途开玩笑呢么!也许有考友将来会说:你无老师不也是给模板么。注意,那是范例,不是模板。无老师给你的时候是抱着良好的目的,但是你怎么用真的是你的问题。这就像是一张100美元的人民币(真的是大票啊!^_^),无老师是用来花出去的,可是你非要拿它来临摹山水。

新托福、GRE与套磁本身是不具有可比性的,但是如果我们把重要程度这个限定词加上的话,就也具有了可比性。

对于绝大多数,普通的大学生来说。重要程度关系依次是套磁>GRE>新托福。

其实托福考试仅仅是个门槛,说的抽象,具体一点。托福考试就是个语言考试,你过了托福考试,仅能证明你能说英语,但是导师要的是一个具有研究和学习能力的人。比如你是赵本山,现在就想再捧出一个小沈阳,第一条件就是要能说东北话,你通过了新托福考试,仅能证明你能说东北话,但是我们本山大爷是不是因为你会说东北话,就收你为徒啊?!你说能,是吧。那你的逻辑真不适合考托福考试了。很显然,在东三省能说东北话的人多了,但是并不是每一个人都能像小沈阳一样,让全国??.北方人民都开心。因此托福考试重要性最低。

然后再接下来是GRE考试,这个考试考察的就是你的专业能力。就像是如果你是学生,这就是证明你聪明程度的考试。如果你想进富士康,这就是证明你人生观的考试。如果你想上《非常勿扰》,这就是证明你..?.读者还是学生是吧,无老师低调!总而言之,这是证明你拍过什么照片的考试。总而言之,GRE是证明是是否足够聪明的考试,如果你是一个导师,你是想招一个聪明的学生,还是一个笨学生呢,这个答案一目了然。因此GRE比托福考试更重要一点。

套磁是最重要的,之所以这样说,是因为不管在国内还是国外,其实都讲一个人情,也就是人际关系。比如说加拿大的很多公司,在招聘的时候,就是先将职位发给公司的员工,看是否有合适的人选,如果没有的话,才到外部招聘。国内的很多公司也是这样,如果你给公司推荐一个员工,那么你会相应的得到一定的奖励。套磁核心套的是什么?套的是导师对你的倾心。由于美国在研究生录取的环节,是导师的发言权是最重要的,注意这点与国内的博士生录取有异曲同工之处,换句话说,只要你取得了导师的芳心,那么你哪怕GRE或者新托福分数低一些,都是可以被接受的。

这就是为什么,在申请过程中,重要程度关系依次是套磁>GRE>新托福。

留学决胜“套磁季”之(3)——“标题党”是怎样炼成

套磁信的作用,无非就是让导师注意我们,认识我们,认可我们,最后录取我们。因此在这里,“注意我们”一定是整个过程的第一步。

那么怎么样才能让导师注意我们呢?很简单,借用一个时下时髦的名词,就是要做“标题党”!

那么什么样的标题才能引起导师的注意呢?当然校内上流行的“生活常识化妆技,十二星座小秘密;不看后悔成功录,论文大全雅思题。恋爱金句传送门,男默女泪蛋疼文;读到哪句心痛了?不顶不是中国人。”是绝对没用的。虽然倒是也有七情六欲,但是这些标题显然都是有极强烈的中国国情的标题。而我们要寻找的标题,往往那些具有普世价值的,对于绝大多数人都会有吸引力的标题。

从这个角度来看,无老师建议大家注意以下几点:

1. 用对方的名字开头。你务必在邮件标题上加上对方的名字。这里尤其注意一点就是避免普发邮件,每封邮件都用同样的标题,这样成功率最低,而且还容易被当成垃圾邮件,因此最聪明的方式就是要以对方的名字开头。有人说世界上最优美的音乐是听到你自己的名字。在邮件标题上加上他的名字会激发对方的兴趣,这个方法可以说是比较实用的,比较有效的,适用于初次接触的导师,比如 “Dear Denny”,就这样一个标题,对方看了,首先不会反感,没有人会不喜欢看到自己的名字的;至于怎样找到导师的名字,你都找到了导师的电子邮箱地址了,难道还找不到名字么?

2. 要注意标题一定不要超过30-50个英文字母。如果标题超过这个长度,很可能整个标题无法完整显示;

3. 告知对方有什么好处,在这一步上,最聪明的方式就是对于对方研究的内容,以及对方发表的论文提出自己独特的见解,当然要写出这样的标题或者信件,最好还是要先研读一下导师的论文。当然其他一些能激发他阅读你的邮件的东西也好,比如用提问的方法引起他的好奇心。当然邮件里面的内容最好是与导师所研究的内容相关的,毕竟对于导师有利的内容,导师才希望看到,最聪明的方式就是在邮件的后面简短的附上自己的简历,导师有兴趣的话,一定会反过来主动联系你。这是最好不要做单纯的标题党,也就是邮件一开始就大书特书自己的情况,结果与邮件的标题一点关系都没有,这时导师只会大呼上当,然后从此不再理你的邮件。

4. 跟你的邮件第一页的内容相关联,这样有助于维持对方的兴趣把你的邮件读完;

统计数据表明,使用“FREE”这个单词,有助于提升你的email开启率高达400%。但是请注意,有的邮件过滤软件队“FREE”这个词可能会比较敏感,你的邮件有可能会被当作垃圾邮件过滤过滤掉。

以上是一些写商业电子邮件标题的tips,当然已经被无老师按照我们的要求修改过。

总结来说,就是要做“标题党”,但是不要做纯粹的标题党,邮件内容最好与邮件的标题有一定的关联性。

留学决胜“套磁季”之(4)——如何了解导师信息

在接下来我们要做的就是导师信息搜集的工作,至于怎么搜集。当然是直奔大学的网页,那才是我们获得一切导师信息的源泉。

在谈这个部分的内容的时候,很显然应该是图文并茂的,不过现在无老师的网站被转载量巨大,出于担心自身服务器承载过量的原因,无老师最终决定还是采取折中的方式来放出本期文章,就是推荐一篇同样主题,并且同样优秀的文章。 这是网址链

留学决胜“套磁季”之(5)——满城尽是套磁信

在一个80后被房子绑架的时代,这些前90后以及90后,只好把自己的眼睛放到了海外,寄望于外面的天空给自己一个逃出升天的机会。因此只要是能让我们逃出这无望的循环的方法,都被人们无限的放大。“留学”被放大,“富二代”被放大,“成名”被放大。都TM被逼的!

套磁本是一个结识对方的方式,但是现在也被无限的放大。可以说这种方式在上世纪末,还算是一个申请的秘籍,但是慢慢的,当我们获得的信息信息越来越多的时候,也慢慢被人熟知。其实现在国内的留学界还有很多错误的信息在蔓延,但是我们只有靠时间的积累来冲刷这些信息,大浪淘沙之后,才能有真相大白的一天,但是这一天什么时候能到来?由于某些不良留学中介的出现,使得这一天被大大推迟了。

至于套磁,很多留学中介也是大包大揽的,“帮”我们解决了,但是实际上很多都是用一些现成的模板,完全没有取得套磁的效果,甚至这些模板还会让导师讨厌我们,换句话说也就是取得了坏的结果。

那么,这些模板有没有用呢?其实作用还是有的,也就是这些套磁信模板可以让我们了解,到底怎样写套磁信,套磁信该是什么样的,为我们自己写套磁信指明一个方向。

因此今天无老师就为大家展示出一些套磁信的模板或者说样本。

Dear Professor Smith:

I am a college graduate from ABC University, with a degree in Computer Science, currently working full time as a computer programmer with Bank of China, but interested in applying for a Research Assistantship at your school. Dr. Song provided me with your e-mail address and suggested that I write you about a possible position.

I attended the Special Class of Gifted Use at ABC University when I was 14 years old and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in computer science there in 1996. Since graduation, I have been working with the Technology Department, Bank of China. My responsibility at the Bank is to develop application software for internal usage and help managing the Bank’s database and network. I led or took part in several key projects such as Foreign Exchange Savings Accounts Networking System, the State Dragon Card Networking System and the Dragon Card-Stock Funds Transferring System. With my hardworking and continuous learning, I have gained tremendous practical experiences and knowledge in my field and also learned to be an excellent team player and a good communicator. I am quite proficient in Unix operating system, Windows NT, computer programming (using C/C++/ESQL C, and Visual Basic), and Informix database system. In addition, I have had solid hands-on experience in TCP/IP network design and implementation.

As stated earlier, I have always been interested in both computer science and biology as both disciplines are at the forefront of rapid development. Health Informatics seems a perfect subject for me as I can learn more about the healthcare discipline while using my skills in computer, especially in database and network, to make contribution to health informatics. I am convinced that with my strong technical background, diligence and intelligence, and my enthusiasm for health informatics, I will be an excellent student in this field and a good Research Assistant to you.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would grant me an opportunity for application. You may reply to me through this email address. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely yours, Mei Wong 】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】 【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【

Knowing where one is heading during navigation brings assured happiness. As a student majoring in Computer Software, I began my odyssey four years ago. Now, after the initial mysticism was gradually unveiled, my curiosity remains the same. Indeed, having entered this splendid computer world, I am more than greedy for something new.

From the beginning of my study, my endeavor was fixed on the underlying branches of Computer Science, particularly System Software development. Novel applications on other’s platform may be fruitful, but I think it’s more appealing to act as an independent “manager”. In fact, mathematics, OS, DBMS and modern compiler are all the examples, any breakthrough of which would push forward the whole industry. Individuality is achieved in this unique position.

My paces toward this goal are always steady. As mathematics permeates to the every corner of Computer Science, I am eager to see how it functions. I took courses offered by the Mathematics Department including Mathematical Analysis and Advanced Algebra. The curriculum also covered Discrete Mathematics, Probability & Statistics and Theoretical Computer Science. As supplement to my scope of knowledge, I learn by myself Combination Mathematics and the Science of Programming. This really made a hard period of time, but the harvest was rewarding. I come to understand that even the most irrelevant software disciplines have the origins in common. The importance of Fractured Geometry in Computer Graphics is already obvious. What if a step furthers toward TSP or Bin Packing? Immeasurable. Then came my favorite topics: Operating System, Compiler and Database. I worked hard and derived bits of my own insight. In fact, I was greatly encouraged to find some of my ideas successfully implemented in the corresponding course projects. My final grade is straight “As” in these coursed. In short, although my experience in Computer Science is still limited, I believe its depth is well accessible. As my advisor, Prof. Fang Yu, put it figuratively in one of his lectures: “ It makes no difference whether a hunter captures 5 or 7 rabbits. What counts is he knows how to use his gun.”

I think I can be the qualified shooter now. in my undergraduate years, I have earned various kinds of scholarships, among which were “Peking University Fellowship” and “Excellent Academic Scholarship”. My overall GPA ranks upper 10% among 48 students of the same grade. Because of my satisfactory performance, I was granted the honor of entering the graduate program at Peking University directly, waived of the admission test. In retrospect, my workload is always heavy but it is worth my time of effort. Presently, I have both adequate theoretical understanding and rich programming experience. READY I AM.

Of all the sub-areas of Computer Science, my major interest is parallel processing and the related compiler construction. The terminology of parallel processing came to me when I read an artic 】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】 【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【 Dear #######:

Thank you again for your email. From the sounds of your scores and grades, you should have no problem entering Princeton. I am quite familiar with the program that you are in

and have had several close friends that have been there at Beijing University. In fact, ####### was in graduate school with me and she was in the accelerated program. She has done extremely well in the U.S. and after graduation went on to do some first rate science at a university in California.

Since 2001 is your target date, I can begin to arrange funding for a research assistantship for you. These are nicer than teaching assistantships because they allow you to focus only on your research. Naturally, you will not be obligated to accept should you find other options. However, I believe that you will be most welcomed here in my group.

You had asked about some of my publications, if you send me your address I can send preprints. They may take some time to get to China. You can find some of our work listed on our web site under my cv. This is an incomplete list but the PRL of last year is there and the latest hasnt yet been released from the publishers.

We have been doing some interesting things lately with topological defects on tube manifolds that you might like. We have recently imaged nanotubes which exhibit a change in chirality along the tube! Tunneling spectra show that this produces subtle changes in the LDOS as predicted in some of X. Blase’s work. We have also begun optical studies on individual nanotubes using near-field scanning optical microscopy and spectroscopy. We are particualry interested in how the surface plasmon resonances (governed by tube topology) effects the third order nonlinear susceptability in these objects.

Thank you again for your interest in our group. May I suggest that we keep in contact over the year. Let me know your progress and I will try to help with the application procedures should you decide to join us. Sincerely XXX 】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】 【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【

Dear Professor #######:

Thank you very much for your kind reply. I am sorry that during the summer vacation I cannot read and reply your email in time.

As stated in my first letter, my desired entrance date is in Fall of 2000. And I would like to provide my test scores. My TOEFL test score is 647 (Oct. 1997) with a TWE score of 5.0. My GRE test score is 2340 (Oct. 1996, V770 M800 A770). My GRE Subject score is 920 (Oct. 1998, Physics). And I will take the TSE test in the coming August. And my undergraduate and graduate GPA are both about 3.5 in 4.0, about top 10%-20% in my class.

I wish to make a note that during my undergraduate study I was quite young, and during my graduate study I take many efforts to study the basic courses in Physics by myself, which may be the reason my GPAs are not in the top 5%. But now I believe that I have been quite familiar in the knowledges of Physics, both the courses and the researches. So I hope that my test scores and grades are acceptable to Priceton with financial supports. As to the research, I am very glad to learn the research background you provided in your letter. I am quite familiar with the works of X. Blase published in PRL and APL. I also know

that J-C Charlier is a famous specialist in this field. So perhaps I could do theoretical research works in your group. Also, I am very glad to know that you have the needed main instruments for carbon nanotubes in your group, so that both theoretical and experimental works can be done.

I am puzzled at the “MRS meeting in Boston” you mentioned in your letter. What is the full-name of MRS? Is it a meeting specialized in nano-systems? I do research works on carbon nanotubes almost totally by myself, and perhaps are not familiar with such fixed terms. Would you please explain the contents of this meeting? Thanks. And you mentioned that your latest publications will come out in next months in PRL. Would you please send me the page number of this paper in PRL, and if possible, the full text of this paper? The journal PRL reaches to China very late, usually several months to half a year after published, and I don’t have the account to find the full-texts of PRL on-line. I am looking forward to receiving your warmhearted reply. Thanks.

Yours sincerely ########### 】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】】 【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【【 Dear ######:

Thank you for the email and your interest in our research program.

I am very intersted in your application and would like to hear more. Are you interested in Fall 2000 or fall 2001? Certianly for 2001 there should be no problem getting research support, provided that your test scores, grades, etc. are acceptable to the university. For 2000, it would be a little tougher because of the short notice, but might be arranged under special circumstances.

You asked about the nature of research here. In the laboratory, students generally couple calculations with experiment. We specialize in spectroscopic determinations of transport and electronic structure using scanning probes (STM and NSOM). To gain a detailed understanding of this, ab initio calculations must be compared with data. We have worked closely with J-C Charlier in Belgium, A. Rubio in Spain, and X. Blase in France using a variety of theoretical techniques including tight binding for structural information and LDA of DFT for electronics calcs.

Our tunneling microscope is a low temperature Besoke design copied from the Julich group. We are capable of running at LHe temperatures for good energy resolution. We are in the process of constructing a near-field scanning optical microscope and a photon scanning tunneling microscope. These two new instruments should be on line around Dec.

Our group focus is to understand the quantum dynamics and optical response of individual nano-systems like carbon nanotubes, B-doped nanotubes and filled nanotubes. Look for our latest publications coming out in the next months in PRL, JMR, and Advanced Materials. The entire group will also be at the MRS meeting in Boston. We would be pleased to consider your application for this year or next. ########

I am very sorry to bother you and send this e-mail, but I really wish to contact you. I am a graduate student majoring in Condensed Matter Physics Theory in the Department of Physics, Beijing University (Beijing). I wish to pursue a doctoral degree in Physics at your University. My desired date of entrance is Fall, 2000. I have visited the homepage of the “Laboratory for Nanotech”. I am writing this letter to you to introduce myself and query about the graduate programs at NCCNM. Thank you very much for reading this email. Born on SEP 10, 1979, I entered Huazhong Univ. of Science and Technology (HUST) when I was 15 years old. I finished the four-year undergraduate program in three years and achieved my degree of B. Eng. (Optoelectronic Engineering) in June 1997 with the honor of “Outstanding Graduate”. Then, I was admitted to the Graduate School of Beijing University at the Department of Physics. I will obtain my degree of M. S. (Physics) in June 2000. I have done much research work on the topics of mesoscopic physics, such as carbon nanotubes, persistent currents, Aharonov-Bohm geometric phase effects, electronic transport phenomena, etc. Such modern research topics attract me very much in that they are associated with both Condensed-Matter Physics and microelectronics, respectively my detail majors for M. S. and B. Eng.

I wish to say that I am indeed interested in the graduate programs at Physics Dept. of Princeton University, and I eagerly wish that I can join your research group. As I have also strong research interests on carbon nanotubes, I do believe that the doctorate-oriented study under your direction will be of great help to me. I wonder, however, whether you do theoretical or experimental research works? I wish to state that, although my current research topics on carbon nanotubes are theoretical, I can also do experimental research works, especially optical studies, due to my undergraduate major in Optics. I hope my solid background in both physics and engineering can meet your general requirements of entrance to Physics Department as a graduate with financial supports. I deem it a great honor to become a graduate of Princeton, if admitted.

Would you please consider my application and tell me whether it is possible for me to be enrolled as your graduate with financial supports? Thank you very much for your kind assistance. I am looking forward to receiving your reply. My current address is: #######

那么当我们现在看完这几封推荐信之后,应该来回顾一下这些套磁信的共性,只有发现他们的共性之后,我们才知道怎么展开自己的套磁信,这个工作显然是“套磁季”的核心环节,因此无老师决定,下次再写^_^

留学决胜“套磁季”之(6)——人人都是套磁信专家

当我们看了这么多的套磁信,其实很快就可以发现这里面的门道。今天无老师就专门来总结一下套磁信的惯常写法。

套磁信一开始大多是开门见山,首先对于自己的背景进行介绍。

比如:我叫XXX,专业XXX,来自XXX大学(如果不是清华北大复旦这些顶级名校,最好标注一下你的学校的等级),,我对你的方向XXX感兴趣。

然后再接下来除了这些典型的硬件介绍之外,当然还要加入对于自己的软实力的介绍: 我本科的时候从事了XXX研究工作,取得了XXX的成就,在XXX上发表了XXX文章。

当然你如果是研究生的话,那么一定还要写上XXX时候从事了XXX方向的研究,取得了xxx的成就,发表了xxx的文章,当然这里的文章最好是与导师所研究的防线可以match,哪怕不match,最好也要贴边,只有这样,导师才会对你的套磁信产生兴趣。

如果实在不match也要写上,你可以熟练地使用比如电泳仪等XXX本仪器,或者例如fluent等XXX科学软件,具有xxx的特殊技能。一定要注意,在陶瓷这一关,一定是你的软实力与硬实力相加来展现你的整体实力。而且在写套磁信的时候,一定要着重分析你在本专业的专业知识的背景,以及心得,这是导师最想知道的信息。原因很简单,说白了,导师其实最想要的就是一个可以帮他做好各种实验的labor,仅此而已,因此你对于本专业的专业知识越熟悉,就越表明你是一个优秀的labor,因此从这个角度来看,你有什么研究成果,自然是优秀的labor,如果你没有研究成果,就要从心得以及经历来入手。这是你的获得导师芳心的最重要的砝码!

第一封信,关键要体现自己的专业特长,最好要和教授的方向match,即使不match,也要往match上拉。目的只有一个,引起教授的兴趣。

当然,其实,如果你对于某一导师的研究方向,如果特别的倾心,或者特别的有心得,最好还是要像前文所写到的一样,多去研究这位导师的论文以及成果,如果你有十分仔细的研究过这些导师的论文的话,其实可以完全走一条另辟蹊径之路,也就是直接从导师的论文或者实验,以及研究方向入手,因为人们总是首先对于自我感兴趣,然后才对于这个世界产生兴趣,这是人之本性。

至于反馈吗,咳咳,这个就看你的努力了,其实基本上来说。前面介绍的开门见山以介绍自己为乐的套磁信,基本上是不管发出去多少,都仅仅起到了精卫填海的作用。但是如果你真的可以仔细研究导师的研究方向,导师的近几年的论文,往往还能取得几个回信,要知道在套磁信这条路上很多人都是发出去100封都没有1封回复的。因此现在看来高效并不是套磁

信应该追求的,套磁信应该追求的是伤其十指不如断其一指,也就是扎实的研究3-5个导师,第一封套磁信都以导师的研究方向作为切入点,才是最明智的选择。

当然如果说更明智的选择,就是提早准备,在本科期间,或者研究生期间,当已经决定出国留学的时候,就要开始死皮赖脸的缠着系里最牛的导师,跟人家做实验,当跟屁虫,然后在自己这个专业上好好钻研一下,到时候,哪怕你不研究任何导师的论文,只要把自己的成果或者论文往导师面前一扔,人家自然就对你关爱有加了。因此,自我实力的提升才是套磁信的王道。
