斗胆借原PO和前辈的标题内容请教一下大家， 这是其中一个教授回我的信: Dear bbagels: Thank-you for your inquiry regarding a graduate position in my lab. Your background and experience is certainly relevant to the work we are doing and I would like to consider your application. However, finances are an issue and I'm not sure that I can take a student at this time. Do you intend to start in January 2015? I have a grant pending and will know later in the spring whether or not I will get it. If I am successful I could take a student in May or Sept 2015. Please do let me know what your plans are - XXX 这样子算是客套话还是说真的有兴趣呢? 因为签证的关系我已经回覆他会考虑defer到Fall 他接着回我: Once I'm sure of the status of my funding I will be happy to assess and consider your application. If you intend to defer your acceptance until September 2015 then this will certainly simplify matters. Please do keep me posted on what you decide. 想问一下各位这样算是有点喜欢还是? 因为他用的字像是happy, assess/consider, simplify matters都让我很脑补阿... 如果我有另外申请external funding是否要现在跟他提，还是说等到结果出来再说呢? 先谢谢各位战友们了! ※ 引述《audition (Fiat Lux)》之铭言： : 那我也来贡献一下去年美国教授们的回信 : 印象最深的是这两封 : 因为这两封信看来最不像罐头信 : 先说结论： : 要是收到超级热情的回信，请一定要好好把握 : 因为大鱼上钩了 : 首先是这封 : Dear audition, : Thank you for writing me about your interest in the PhD program : in sociology at the XXX University. And thanks also for your : kind words about The Cultures of Cities. : In our department, the professors do not accept students independently : of the admissions procedure of the department. You should look at : the courses that we give in the sociology program and decide if you : want to study sociology here. You can probably transfer some or : all of your MA credits, but you may have to pass our exam in social : theory, take a statistics course, and pass the qualifying oral exam : in three fields of sociology that you have mastered. : Your urban research is very interesting, and we may well have an : opportunity to work together. But you must apply to the sociology : department, and I am not a member of the admissions committee. : Make sure your personal statement is strong, and you explain both : the work that you have done and your professional goals. You can : mention me or any other professors whom you hope to work with. I : hope you have good GRE or TOFL scores, and I wish you the best of : luck. : If you have any questions about the admissions procedure or the : department, please write to the chairman, Professor XXXX : 这封信回信算很热情了 : 第一段介绍了自己系的program : 第二段回应了我的研究兴趣 : 甚至都说了we may well have an opportunity to work together : 最後我没上 : :~~~ : 再来是这封 : Dear audition, : Thank you for writing. Your research interests would be a good : match with mine. Last year I published a book entitled Cultural : Heritage and the Challenge of Sustainability, the result of seven : years research and which took a global perspective. Now I have : started a large project on the problems of industrial heritage : conservation, which focuses on the interactions among local and : national governments, private interests, and local communities. : I will say, frankly, that the association you mention between urban : preservation and gentrification has been discussed for quite sometime. : But scholars would very much like to know more about preservation in : Taiwan (esp. since the field has been dominated by work on Europe and : North America). There's also work that needs to be done on the reasons : why communities and governments support some preservation projects, but : not others. Your topic on museums and cultural identities is also very : promising. : Our program accepts graduate students annually. You should request : materials from Mrs. XXX, our Graduate Coordinator. Specific : questions about the program can be addressed to our Graduate Director, : Professor XXXX, who will also note your existing fellowship of 3 : years. I am copying them both on this response, so you have their : addresses. : I wish you good luck with your application. : 这封信简直热情到极点 : 不但直接说我们兴趣相同 : 还自己说自己去年出什麽书、未来要作什麽研究 : 顺着我原本的研究兴趣还表示了她的看法 : 第三段她叫我有任何问题可以连络系上的coordinator甚至是director : (後来她索性还自己就主动把我的信转给director了) : 这间学校 : 後来我托福没到标准也还是录取 : 个人觉得 : 要是真的遇到这种热情到不行的回信 : 一定要好好把握 : 因为真的机会很高啊 : 最後 : 祝大家都能申请到学校 : 加油 --
