个人陈述写作指导.

　　1. say something about what you think about your research dream.

　　2.Be neutral to commend yourself

　　3.Do not need to rerence a lot of famous sayings, just say what you really think

　　4.Be serious for your professional career!

　　5.你的背景很重要。如果对路了，老板会很仔细看你的PS，最好能够在PS前罗列一下你做过的东西。老板很忙没有时间去读洋洋洒洒的PS,澳际那类的东西不重要。把自己做过的简单写出来。然后具体描述一下。什么本人出生与什么家庭。打小如何热爱，大学成绩优秀。全部没有用。老板才不管你爱他有多深你的能力才是最重要的

　　6. If somebody can actually describe their skills and the work they want to do, that stands out.

　　7.PS之所以重要是因为它反映学习动机。PS好的最基本条件就是要针对该学校具体情况。要表现出你的背景是如何地适合这个学校。当然，胡吹是不行的，再怎么吹只要没做假老美还是能看出高低的。

　　8.一个好的PS，应结合过去的经历和对专业的兴趣来谈为什么该校的教授和研究计划对自己特别有吸引力。可以点名指出感兴趣的教授或研究方向，这样论述就具体了，因而也就更让人信服

　　9.Princeton物理系博士计划的介绍说得好，我们关心的是申请者对物理学的兴趣和动机而不是现有的专业水平，至于以前物理学基础的薄弱环节可以在以后的博士学习期间弥补。

　　10.所以有时PS表现出的对专业的兴趣比申请人实际具有的专业学术水平还重要。另外，申请者对专业兴趣的还可以通过推荐信来表现，这就是为什么推荐信和PS最最重要了。

　　谈对专业的兴趣一定不能泛泛谈，譬如谈从小读了爱因斯坦的故事热爱物理学是没用的。研究生结合自己研究方向谈起来比较容易些，但本科生也应该对本专业研究方向比较了解，然后结合一个大方向领域(比如理论凝聚态)谈自己的基础和对该领域未来发展的看法。对本科生来说，我想“强关联作用的研究必将为凝聚态理论带来全新的概念”之类的话就够了，研究生就应该具体一些。如果该校有你知道的或仰慕的牛教授，则可结合他的研究方向详细地谈。不过必须注意，点名教授一定不能只点一、两个，而应该尽量多点一些。总之，PS+推荐信比什么都重要(Physics)。

　　11.I think the most important thing during your application process is to show　your research POTENTIAL　as much as possible.

　　12.The study plan serves three purposes.

　　First, it shows how well applicants can express their ideas in plain English.

　　Second, the study plan is supposed to show how much thought the applicants have given to the particular fields in which they want to study.

　　The third purpose of a study plan is to provide students with lesser grade an opportunity to prerent their intellectual accomplishments other than academic records.

　　13. [1] What is the most significant achievement you&aposve ever accomplished so far?

　　[2] Is there any specific field you want to work on? Please be as specific as you can.

　　Try to explain how your academic background prepares you to do research in this (these) field(s).

　　[3] If you have any previous research experiences, please explain them interms of your roles in the projects, your own contributions, and mostimportantly the process of deriving the solutions/algorithms you developed, if any.

　　[4] In case your course grade is not particularly distinguished, why do you think you still have what it takes to do graduate study in our department?
