同国外教授套磁邮件怎样写.

　　国际生想同教授套磁，发邮件之前先看下文：

　　教授每天都能收到许多申请学生的邮件，尤其是申请助学金的。但可能教授连看都没看就删了你辛辛苦苦发的邮件。有这么邮件需要看，教授没有时间一一阅读并且回复。那些不能第一时间吸引眼球的邮件进而都进入了垃圾箱。所以，发邮件前先看看教授们怎样建议。教授们招学生也很实际，他们只对杰出的学生感兴趣，并且申请的学生一定要对教授所研究的领域有浓厚的兴趣，有过实验，有发表论文更好了。而且，拥有硕士学位申请成功的概率要高于本科申请者。

　　下面给出两封好坏邮件进行对比。

　　不好的邮件：

　　Here are two sample letters:

　　A sample letter that will never get the candidate an assistantship with me:

　　Unwanted email

　　Respected sir,

　　I am very interested in going to the US for higher studies. I am seeking admission and financial assistance in your esteemed University. I am very interested in artificial intelligence and computer architecture. I have programming experience in C++, C and java. I am also familiar with several software packages in the Windows environment (MS Word, Excel Spreadsheet etc.). I also have networking certification from NOVELL. My GRE score is 2050, and I got 99 percentile in the TOEFL exam.

　　I request you to spare a few moments from your precious time to go through my attached resume.

　　Sir - if you are kind enough to offer me assistantship, I promise to work very hard for you. I have a very good academic record since primary

　　school. Alternately, can you tell me what are my chances of getting assistantship from your department?

　　Can you kindly inform me about the last dates for Summer term 2002 bore which I can apply?

　　Thank you for your valuable time,

　　Yours obediently

　　ABC

　　My comments: I simply delete these emails, which I consider garbage .The person seems to be too obsequious and flattering. In the emails that I do read (occasionally), I do a first scan for keywords like "precious", "respected" etc. deleting the email if I find one. Obviously the person is not professional enough. The person is interested in artificial intelligence and computer architecture - these are quite unrelated areas, making me think that he is trying to cover as many professors as possible to get aid from any possible source. Besides, he does not have anything in support of his claim (about his interest in artificial intelligence). He emphasizes on his software skills, making me think that his goal is to get a programming job in the US and higher studies is only to allow him access to the US job market. His GRE scores are OK, but not exceptional. He asks me to tell him what his chances of getting an assistantship are, elsewhere in the department. I have absolutely no way of finding that out, and even if I knew, I would not bother to reply back. He also asks me to give him information about summer deadlines. How am I supposed to know that? (I would typically expect that this information should be available from the University web site, or from the grad school, but my guess is as good

　　as yours.) Finally, this letter is too generic . He probably uses exactly the same format for hundreds of email letters to various professors throughout the country, leaving no stone uncovered. I receive hundreds of email like this. Regretfully, I cannot answer everyone, and these applications do not interest me at all.

　　Now, here is a letter that would DEFINITELY attract my attention:

　　好的邮件应该这么写：

　　Excellent email

　　Dear Prof. Das,

　　I am applying to KSU (amongst other places) for a Ph.D., and I am very interested in your research areas. I would like to explore the possibility of doing my research with you, with financial support.

　　One possible area that would interest me a lot is in applying Tikhonov regularization to your problem in computational neuroscience, since I understand that neural data can be very noisy, and yet sparse.Alternately, I am also interested in applying evolutionary algorithms to your genetic neural network parameter estimation. One of my other interests in in parallel processing. Are you considering parallel implementations for any of your optimization/estimation algorithms?

　　Considering that the projects that you list in your web site would probably be very computationally intensive, that may be a worthwhile strategy to pursue.

　　I presented a paper entitled "Hybrid Gradient Descent Based Training of Probabilistic Recurrent Networks" in the International Conference on

　　Neural Networks and Image Processing, Bangalore, last year. It is a reviewed publication. If have attached a copy of the article in pdf format.

　　If you have available funds, and are interested in my application please let me know soon.

　　XYZ

　　My comments: This is a straightforward letter from someone with a genuine interest in my area . He is an exceptional candidate. He has evinced a keen desire to learn, and already has considerable mastery over my area of research . If I have any funding available, I would dinitely try my very BEST to get this person . This person may have an MS degree, while many applicants have only a BS degree.
