套磁在留學(xué)申請中的價值不言而喻。而自己的套磁信如果有幸收到了回復(fù),我們英發(fā)信之后就是翹首期盼對方的回復(fù)了。和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編一起來看看如何能過套磁回復(fù)判斷自己是否有希望。
(1)婉拒型
Mr. X: I am impressed with your motivation and excellent writing in English. You have also done interesting research projects as an undergraduate student. However, the competition for admission to our graduate program is very keen, especially for international students. Many candidates score higher in GRE and have already published as the first author in international journals. You may apply to our graduate program, but nothing can be guaranteed for admission. Thanks for your interest in us.
遇到這種情況,我覺得你就要意識到這個學(xué)校其實已經(jīng)超過你的能力范圍了。
(2)模棱兩可型
Hi XX,
Thank you for your interest. I'm not sure if I will take students this fall or not. I cannot say what your chances for admission are since we are unsure who else will apply this year and how many positions we will have.
Thank you for your application.
這其實是最多的一種回復(fù)。這種回復(fù)基本會出現(xiàn)在你重點沖刺的list里面。遇到這種情況,你要權(quán)衡下是否要申請這所。
(3)貌似鼓勵型
XX
Thank you very much for contacting me. I am planning on taking one or two students in Fall 2011. I encourage you to apply for our program.
注意措辭,是apply for our program而不是my lab。他可能給每一個發(fā)信的或者是基本符合要求的學(xué)生都這樣回復(fù)。所以,碰到鼓勵申請的并不代表你就有較大的可能性被錄取。
(4)no opening型
Thank you for your interest in my research group. Unfortunately I don’t have any open positions right now.
這種其實很好。導(dǎo)師言簡意賅,就是不招生,你也可以死了這條心。
(5)媽呀型
在緊張的申請過程中,你可能覺得很焦躁,未來很灰暗。要是這個時候忽然來了這樣的一封信,那絕對讓你激動的想喊娘。為了鼓勵大家,我特意多羅列了幾個例子。
Model 1:
Dear XX, you are with very appropriate background and interests. I greatly appreciate your interest and sending such detailed information.
I would like to schedule a phone conversation with you if possible later next week and discuss your application and interests further.
Looking forward to our further communication
Best regards
趕緊看他的paper,準備面試吧。
