篇一:美国留学套磁信PHD
(一)
Dear Professor ####:
I am very sorry to bother you and send this e-mail, but I really wish to contact you. I am a graduate student majoring in Condensed Matter Physics Theory in the Department of Physics, Beijing University (Beijing). I wish to pursue a doctoral degree in Physics at your University. My desired date of entrance is Fall, 2000. I have visited the homepage of the "Laboratory for Nanotech". I am writing this letter to you to introduce myself and query about the graduate programs at NCCNM. Thank you very much for reading this email.
Born on SEP 10, 1979, I entered Huazhong Univ. of Science and Technology (HUST) when I was 15 years old. I finished the four-year undergraduate program in three years and achieved my degree of B. Eng. (Optoelectronic Engineering) in June 1997 with the honor of "Outstanding Graduate". Then, I was admitted to the Graduate School of Beijing University at the Department of Physics. I will obtain my degree of M. S. (Physics) in June 2000. I have done much research work on the topics of mesoscopic physics, such as carbon nanotubes, persistent currents, Aharonov-Bohm geometric phase effects, electronic transport phenomena, etc. Such modern research topics attract me very much in that they are associated with both Condensed-Matter Physics and microelectronics, respectively my detail majors for M. S. and B. Eng.
I wish to say that I am indeed interested in the graduate programs at Physics Dept. of Princeton University, and I eagerly wish that I can join your research group. As I have also strong research interests on carbon nanotubes, I do believe that the doctorate-oriented study under your direction will be of great help to me. I wonder, however, whether you do theoretical or experimental research works? I wish to state that, although my current research topics on carbon nanotubes are theoretical, I can also do experimental research works, especially optical studies, due to my undergraduate major in Optics. I hope my solid background in both physics and engineering can meet your general requirements of entrance to Physics Department as a graduate with financial supports. I deem it a great honor to become a graduate of Princeton, if admitted.
Would you please consider my application and tell me whether it is possible for me to be enrolled as your graduate with financial supports? Thank you very much for your kind assistance. I am looking forward to receiving your reply.
My current address is:
#######

University
Beijing 100080
People's Republic of China
Thanks!
Yours Sincerely

Dear ######:
Thank you for the email and your interest in our research program.
I am very intersted in your application and would like to hear more. Are you interested in Fall 2000 or fall 2001? Certianly for 2001 there should be no problem getting research support, provided that your test scores, grades, etc. are acceptable to the university. For 2000, it would be a little tougher because of the short notice, but might be arranged under special circumstances. You asked about the nature of research here. In the laboratory, students generally couple calculations with experiment. We specialize in spectroscopic determinations of transport and electronic structure using scanning probes (STM and NSOM). To gain a detailed understanding of this, ab initio calculations must be compared with data. We have worked closely with J-C Charlier in Belgium, A. Rubio in Spain, and X. Blase in France using a variety of theoretical techniques including tight binding for structural information and LDA of DFT for electronics calcs.
Our tunneling microscope is a low temperature Besoke design copied from the Julich group. We are capable of running at LHe temperatures for good energy resolution. We are in the process of constructing a near-field scanning optical microscope and a photon scanning tunneling microscope. These two new instruments should be on line around Dec.
Our group focus is to understand the quantum dynamics and optical response of individual nano-systems like carbon nanotubes, B-doped nanotubes and filled nanotubes. Look for our latest publications coming out in the next months in PRL, JMR, and Advanced Materials. The entire group will also be at the MRS meeting in Boston.
We would be pleased to consider your application for this year or next.

Dear Professor #######:
Thank you very much for your kind reply. I am sorry that during the summer vacation I cannot read and reply your email in time.
As stated in my first letter, my desired entrance date is in Fall of 2000. And I would like to provide my test scores. My TOEFL test score is 647 (Oct. 1997) with a TWE score of 5.0. My GRE test score is 2340 (Oct. 1996, V770 M800 A770). My GRE Subject score is 920 (Oct. 1998, Physics). And I will take the TSE test in the coming August. And my undergraduate and graduate GPA are both about 3.5 in 4.0, about top 10%-20% in my class.
I wish to make a note that during my undergraduate study I was quite young, and during my graduate study I take many efforts to study the basic courses in Physics by myself, which may be the reason my GPAs are not in the top 5%. But now I believe that I have been quite familiar in the knowledges of Physics, both the courses and the researches. So I hope that my test scores and grades are acceptable to Priceton with financial supports.
As to the research, I am very glad to learn the research background you provided in your letter. I am quite familiar with the works of X. Blase published in PRL and APL. I also know that J-C Charlier is a famous specialist in this field. So perhaps I could do theoretical research works in your group. Also, I am very glad to know that you have the needed main instruments for carbon nanotubes in your group, so that both theoretical and experimental works can be done.
I am puzzled at the "MRS meeting in Boston" you mentioned in your letter. What is the full-name of MRS? Is it a meeting specialized in nano-systems? I do research works on carbon nanotubes almost totally by myself, and perhaps are not familiar with such fixed terms. Would you please explain the contents of this meeting? Thanks. And you mentioned that your latest publications will come out in next months in PRL. Would you please send me the page number of this paper in PRL, and if possible, the full text of this paper? The journal PRL reaches to China very late, usually several months to half a year after published, and I don't have the account to find the full-texts of PRL on-line.
I am looking forward to receiving your warmhearted reply.
Thanks.
Yours sincerely

Dear #######:
Thank you again for your email. From the sounds of your scores and grades, you should have no problem entering Princeton. I am quite familiar with the program that you are in and have had several close friends that have been there at Beijing University. In fact, ####### was in graduate school with me and she was in the accelerated program. She has done extremely well in the U.S. and after graduation went on to do some first rate science at a university in California. Since 2001 is your target date, I can begin to arrange funding for a research assistantship for you. These are nicer than teaching assistantships because they allow you to focus only on your research. Naturally, you will not be obligated to accept should you find other options. However, I believe that you will be most welcomed here in my group.
You had asked about some of my publications, if you send me your address I can send preprints. They may take some time to get to China. You can find some of our work listed on our web site under my cv. This is an incomplete list but the PRL of last year is there and the latest hasnt yet been released from the publishers.
We have been doing some interesting things lately with topological defects on tube manifolds that you might like. We have recently imaged nanotubes which exhibit a change in chirality along the tube! Tunneling spectra show that this produces subtle changes in the LDOS as predicted in some of X. Blase's work. We have also begun optical studies on individual nanotubes using near-field scanning optical microscopy and spectroscopy. We are particualry interested in how the surface plasmon resonances (governed by tube topology) effects the third order nonlinear susceptability in these objects.
Thank you again for your interest in our group. May I suggest that we keep in contact over the year. Let me know your progress and I will try to help with the application procedures should you decide to join us.
Sincerely

Dear Professor,
My name is XXX, a PH.D candidate of XXX(university).
I got your email address from the web and I am very interested in your research field. This message is to ask for the information of the PH.D and Postdoctoral program of your group. I have published 5 papers(see the attachment for my paper list written by Latex convention) since 1996, including different topics: Controlling Chaos, Dynamics, and Bio-membranes. The two papers of Bio-membrane were both finished in this year, one is to discuss the pattern formation of periodic square texture(egg-arton) in Lipid bilayers; the other is to discuss the Complex vesicle under the framework of the spontaneous rvature energy model.
I am also interested in Polymer dynamics, DNA structure transition and have read many related papers. In fact, I have started to do some calculations in this field.
Would you please to consider my application to join your group, especially as a graduate student under your guidance? The reasons I want to obtain my PH.D there are: 1). A PH.D obtained in such a famous University will be helpful to get a good research position when I come back;
2). I want to be educated at a high level since my dream is to be a successful researcher in the future.
Looking to your message.
Best regards!
Yours, XXX

篇二:【美梦网】套磁之博士学位PHD申请解析
套磁之博士学位PHD申请解析
在整个申请美国留学套磁的过程中,不仅要了解美国留学套磁的流程,还注意美国套磁时的事项,不要心急,稳中求胜,以便顺利完成美国套磁。在内容上我们注意以下几个方面:
1.内容的入口点很多人都不知道怎么开这个口。其实开口很容易也不容易。容易的是,开口是从专业上开,不容易的是从专业上开怎么开。通常建议学生从两个方面着手:
看教授的论文,然后写一个总结,把你自己的真实感想写出来,这是第一步。然后把你写完的东西给在你们学校内比较牛的老师看,让他提一些修改的意见,通过他的意见,再通过和你学校里老师的沟通,这样的话,进行修改你之前写的那个总结。把这个发给教授。但是要注意一点,邮件的题目不要说是来自于什么什么学生等等,要写上关于什么什么问题。
-你现阶段的实验报告。我相信你在做你的实验过程当中每天都有不同的,在一段时间内把你的实验进展,以及遇到的困难,写在你的邮件里,或者跟他讨论,或者你告诉他你是怎么解决相关的问题的。以上两方面说起来虽然简单,但是做起来确实需要你的功底和能力了。
2.在表述一些点的时候,一定要注意一点,内容上虽然是在表现你的专业能力,但是有点一定要注意,就是通过对你专业能力的表述我们是要达到一个什么样的目的,我们要达到的是表现你在专业方面的兴趣,你真的喜欢做研究。
很多时候我们仅仅是在那里说怎么表现我们对专业兴趣的时候,确实是很难,光靠嘴说,就是不停的在说我怎么怎么喜欢做研究这样是不够的,相信就是你听到别人这样跟你说你也不会相信那个人。同样的道理,那些教授天天都不知道收多少封这样的邮件,早就练就了一副火眼金睛了。
希望你通过在说专业的时候表现出这样的对研究的兴趣,这样来说有事实为依托更为真实。并且建议你的套磁信以“xx问题”为题目,这样更能从专业的层面上吸引教授的目光。
3.在对于一些和你老师或者你熟悉的人有关系的人,如果他们有一些可能对你申请有帮助的人的话,建议你最好可以让他们给你先发一封私人推荐信。 让他们跟那边的老师说,我这边有个学生比较不错,想学你那个方面的东西,你看看他的情况,如果允许的话,可以让老师先把你的简历发给那边的老师。但是这样有一点,就是你老师愿意不愿意给你做推荐,因为他给你做推荐不仅仅是给你做了推荐,也是代表了他自己。
4.发信的频率一定要注意,不要说2,3个月都不搭理人家了,突然发了一封信给他,这样的效果很不好。在频率上基本上最好保证1到2周联系一次。如果时间太密的话,没有什么东西可写的。如果时间跨度太大的话,很有可能人
家都忘了你是谁了,这样每一次基本上都是新的,效果必然会大大折扣。所以要保持一个长久连续的联系。让教授看到你真的对他的研究感兴趣,这样才有可能打动他让他招收你并提供奖学金。
5.切记不要用任何的模板,模板这个东西,现在在网上已经很泛滥了。可以说你能找到的,其他人一样能找得到,你能发现的,其他人一样也能发现。 而且你可以找一下模板看一下,大家写的东西都基本上一样,一上来都是那一套。套磁这个东西本身就是你自己推销你自己的过程,怎么能说每个人推销自己和其他人都一样呢?所以不要用模板,但凡有能力就一定要自己写。
6.PHD美国留学套磁的时候一定要保持一个好的心态,因为现在的美国留学套磁情况就是这样,发100封信,回的可能只有10封,有可能这10封里有6封以上是废话,没有任何意义。所以一定要保持很好的心态,要有面对打击的能力。
篇三:美国留学申请:“套磁信”模板
套磁本是一个结识对方的方式,但是现在也被无限的放大。可以说这种方式在上世纪末,还算是一个申请的秘籍,但是慢慢的,当我们获得的信息信息越来越多的时候,也慢慢被人熟知。其实现在国内的留学界还有很多错误的信息在蔓延,但是我们只有靠时间的积累来冲刷这些信息,大浪淘沙之后,才能有真相大白的一天,但是这一天什么时候能到来?由于某些不良留学中介的出现,使得这一天被大大推迟了。 至于套磁,很多留学中介也是大包大揽的,“帮”我们解决了,但是实际上很多都是用一些现成的模板,完全没有取得套磁的效果,甚至这些模板还会让导师讨厌我们,换句话说也就是取得了坏的结果。 那么,这些模板有没有用呢?其实作用还是有的,也就是这些套磁信模板可以让我们了解,到底怎样写套磁信,套磁信该是什么样的,为我们自己写套磁信指明一个方向。
因此今天无老师就为大家展示出一些套磁信的模板或者说样本。
模板1:
Dear Professor Smith:
I am a college graduate from ABC University, with a degree in Computer Science, currently working full time as a computer programmer with Bank of China, but interested in applying for a Research Assistantship at your school. Dr. Song provided me with your e-mail address and suggested that I write you about a possible position.
I attended the Special Class of Gifted Use at ABC University when I was 14 years old and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in computer science there in 1996. Since graduation, I have been working with the Technology Department, Bank of China. My responsibility at the Bank is to develop application software for internal usage and help managing the Bank’s database and network. I led or took part in several key projects such as Foreign Exchange Savings Accounts Networking System, the State Dragon Card Networking System and the Dragon Card-Stock Funds Transferring System. With my hardworking and continuous learning, I have gained tremendous practical experiences and knowledge in my field and also learned to be an excellent team player and a good communicator. I am quite proficient in Unix operating system, Windows NT, computer programming (using C/C++/ESQL C, and Visual Basic), and Informix database system. In addition, I have had solid hands-on experience in TCP/IP network design and implementation.
As stated earlier, I have always been interested in both computer science and biology as both disciplines are at the forefront of rapid development. Health Informatics seems a perfect subject
for me as I can learn more about the healthcare discipline while using my skills in computer, especially in database and network, to make contribution to health informatics. I am convinced that with my strong technical background, diligence and intelligence, and my enthusiasm for health informatics, I will be an excellent student in this field and a good Research Assistant to you. I would greatly appreciate it if you would grant me an opportunity for application. You may reply to me through this email address. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely yours,
Mei Wong

篇五:如何写出第一封套磁信
“套磁”对于申请美国留学的学生来说并不陌生,套磁的目的在于探究教授的情况以及和教授沟通搞好关系,以方便之后的录取及奖学金,可以在芸芸申请者中淌出一条捷径。
“套磁”对于申请美国留学的学生来说并不陌生,套磁的目的在于探究教授的情况以及和教授沟通搞好关系,以方便之后的录取及奖学金,可以在芸芸申请者中淌出一条捷径。但如何写第一封套磁信,很多同学犯了难,下面,留学e网就来为大家详细说说这第一封套磁信写作的问题,以真实的套磁信范例为大家讲解。
第一封套磁信的主要内容:询问是否招生,简单介绍自己的兴趣和背景。
第一封套磁信的主要目的:建立联系,为以后套磁打下基础。 以前听到不少同学抱怨说陶瓷信发了100多封,可惜回复的寥寥无几,具体的原因我觉得可能主要是第一封Email没有写好,我曾经看过几个同学的陶瓷信,和我写的大不一样。举一个夸张一点的例子。有个同学大致是这么写的:
标题:Nice to meet you
Dear Prof. XXX
My name is Gter, I graduated from XX university, a famous school in China. I am major in XX and have good undergraduate background. My GPA is …and my GT score is … I take great interest with your research area. Here is my resume…
不知道大家第一封套磁信是否有类似于这样的内容。如果换做你是Prof.的话对这样的陶瓷信又有什么感想?我感觉这样的陶瓷Email不会收
到太好的效果,原因如下:
1.第一封Email的内容过多导致Email的目的不明确。其实第一封
Email的关键是要建立联系,不要着急着把自己的所有背景都告诉Prof。你一下子写了那么多,Prof.有耐心看完么?即使是一个耐心点的教授,一星期内收到几封这样的套磁信估计也会没耐性一一回复了。况且你第一封Email就把所有的东西都说了,以后说啥?因此,第一封Email一定要主题明确,简练。不要罗唆一大堆,让Prof.不知道应该怎么回答你。
2.标题太抽象,感觉像是Junk Mail。第一封Email的标题一定要简明。如果你是申请交通,就直接写Transpiration Application。总之别写Hi, How are you这样的标题,别让人以为你是做广告的。
3.把自己的名字告诉了人家,失去了进一步套磁的机会。
假如你的Email被当作Junk仍进了回收站,或是正好Prof.那天不高兴把的你Email删了怎么办?如果长时间不回复,等也不是,再写一封去问也不是。关键就是你在第一封信里透露了你的姓名。所以建议不要废话那么多写出来你叫什么,第一封Email只问招不招人并一句话介绍自己的背景。如果Prof.不回信的话,可以1个月后换个邮箱继续问,直到问到他说招不招人为止……(这个方法有点WS,慎用。)
以下是我第一封Email的原文
标题:ITS Apply
正文:
Dear Professor XX:
I found your information on the website of the Department of Civil and
Environmental Engineering, and I noticed that your research focuses on ITS
and Traffic Engineering. Since I was majoring in Transportation Engineering and had good background of computer skills and programming, I take great interest on this area. I wonder if you would take any student next fall 2007, and I hope you could give me more information about your program.
Again, thank you for your attention.
我觉得这封Email与第一封Email相比有几个优点:
1.第二封Email的主题明确,内容简单。只包括2个方面的内容:简单介绍自己的专业背景和询问是否招生。其实只要能收到是否要招生这样的回复目的也就达到了,至少可以作为选校的参考。如果一个学校你想申请的方向只有一个Prof.,而且他没打算招生,那你花80刀岂不是浪费了?
2.第二封比第一封好回答。第二封Email回复也很容易,就是简单的招和不招。举一个类比的例子。在追MM的时候,第一封Email就好比是第一次见面说了一大堆后问MM,“你觉得我怎么样?或者是我做你BF行么?”而第二封Email则是在问“MM你available不?”哪个更容易回答很明了。
3.保留换个邮箱继续套的权力(道理上面说了)
对于第一封Email的回复一般有以下几种情况(附上一些教授的回复):
1、比较积极的回复:回答招人,而且要你的简历。以下是一个教授的回复(最后这个教授给了全奖RA):
Thanks for your interest in our academic and research program. Yes, we have opening for research assistantships in Fall 2007. Your computer and programming skills are definitely helpful in ITS and simulation research.
Enclosed is a description of my current research activities. In addition, we will start additional research activities in the next few months.
We have just established a new ITS laboratory that is one of the first of its kinds in the United States. We have a video wall and video and data sharing capabilities with ITS centers in the region that will allow us to do data
warehousing, data mining, and real-time simulation.
As a first step, please send me your resume as soon as possible.
2.一般的回复:只回答招人,没要你的简历
Yes, we are accepting applications for admission in Fall 2007.
Information on the transportation engineering program can be found at http://www. That website includes information on classes, admission policies, and degree requirements. Information on our research program can be found at http://www.Let me know if you have any further questions.
这样的回答至少能让你确定Prof.今年招人,不花冤枉钱。虽然这个Prof.没要我的Resume,最后还是给了TA,所以没套上也并不意味着没戏。
3.没回复,默拒
我也遇到不少这样的情况,不同的Prof.有不同的招生习惯,以一个陌生人的身份去询问,不回复也是很正常的事。即使陶瓷没回复也不要会心。对于自己十分想去的学校可以换个Email再试试。(WS流)
有了上面类似1的回复以后的陶瓷就容易多了,紧接着就是要把修改过的resume发过去了,这时候你可以理直气壮的写信给Prof.了。“是你管我要resume的啊?可不是我硬塞给你看的。”
以上生动的套磁信范例点评希望能对您的美国留学申请有所帮助。 说说文科套磁
