Do I need to apply for graduate school in the United States?

Hello classmates: If you are a person who does not have much scientific research experience, has too many ideas in academia and does not have ambitious goals, it is recommended that you do not need to waste time. Because it takes a lot of time and energy to set the magnet, it is not a simple act, you either don't set it, or you will get what you want!

However, you have to understand that the ending is happy or sad and unpredictable.

The important role of the early set of magnetism is that through the contact with professors and classmates, coupled with professional consultation, you can get first-hand information, the latest admission information, such as the enrollment situation of the major, the admission ratio, the scholarship ratio, the tuition fee, the composition of the students of the major, the projects that are being researched, the destination of graduation, etc., as well as the research of the department in which the research is strong, the school facilities and the resources that can be used in the local area, etc. It is very useful to know these things for you to choose the school and how many chances you have of winning your application.

If there is anything else you need to know, go to the Haixiang Forum to see.

Generally speaking, applicants for a Ph.D. in science and engineering need to apply for magnetism with a professor who is interested in the target institution, and some majors need magnetism even if they apply for a master's degree, such as biology.

Different from science and engineering, the research funding of liberal arts and business is generally determined by the department, and the role that professors can play is very limited, so the probability of winning scholarships for liberal arts and business is not large, but if you meet a professor whose research direction is consistent with the major and direction you apply for and appreciates you in the process of applying for magnetism, he will recommend you to the department, so if time and energy allow, it is recommended to apply magnetism seriously.

Magnetism can be divided into three stages of gauge ridges: early magnetism, mid-magnetism and late magnetization.

At this stage, students can choose the professors they are interested in according to the major and direction of application, and ask the professor whether they will enroll students next year.

Generally after December, if the professor is interested in the applicant in the early stage, he will reply to encourage you to apply, etc., then after submitting the application, you can inform the professor of the current situation by email, and hold it and judge whether the offer is effective through the professor's email reply.

The later stage of magnetism refers to after getting the admission, generally after February, during which the magnetism can facilitate your choice of offer.

For friends who apply to study in the United States, the magnetism must be no stranger, and what we want to say here is to communicate with the professor in a targeted manner, with a clear purpose, that is, to increase the chance of being admitted to the scholarship. So, when should you start magnetizing, and in what form will you start magnetizing, let's share it with you.

From a formal point of view, the magnetism is mainly e-mail, but there are also brave people who directly call ** to find a professor (if the time is right, this is much better than writing a letter), and lucky people and people who are willing to spend money may also have the opportunity to directly face to face (academic conferences, flying abroad to find professors directly, etc.). In view of the fact that the e-mail is the most commonly used, this article mainly talks about how to set the magnetism through the e-mail of the shielding beam, and the other two ways are actually just different forms, the essence is still common, and some specific details of the grand reputation I put in the last part of the talk.

From the perspective of time, taking autumn enrollment as an example, most of the sets of magnets start one year before enrollment and end with the issuance of admission notices. It is not excluded that some students prepare early and do these jobs a year and a half, two years or even more before applying, and it is very good for the early birds to eat worms, but not everyone can do it. Why?

Because ceramics have some necessary conditions to do well.

From the perspective of characters, the magnetism must involve two characters, that is, the applicant himself and the possible mentor in the future. At the same time, the Admissions Committee will also be indirectly involved in the magnetization and decide the outcome of the magnetization. The complex interaction of these three aspects determines the result of the applicant's magnetization, and it is precisely because of the interaction of the three aspects that the effect of magnetism will be hidden and unclear.

More on that below**.

In terms of results, there are generally three outcomes of clichés. No reply template reply, completely useless; Positive responses, but do not directly affect the outcome of the application; Respond positively and lead directly to the offer. The main purpose of this article is to help you try to minimize the occurrence of the first situation, the second situation and the development of the third situation.

Therefore, above we first briefly understood the magnetism, when to start magnetization, how to set, and what is the result of magnetization.
