出國(guó)留學(xué)，套磁在留學(xué)申請(qǐng)中的價(jià)值不言而喻。而自己的套磁信如果有幸收到了回復(fù)，是否意味著有希望呢?接下來(lái)，出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編來(lái)說(shuō)說(shuō)可能遇到的各種回復(fù)。并學(xué)習(xí)一下如何通過(guò)教授套磁回復(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(jué)得你就要意識(shí)到這個(gè)學(xué)校其實(shí)已經(jīng)超過(guò)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(shí)是最多的一種回復(fù)。這種回復(fù)基本會(huì)出現(xiàn)在你重點(diǎn)沖刺的list里面。遇到這種情況，你要權(quán)衡下是否要申請(qǐng)這所。
(3)貌似鼓勵(lì)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(gè)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(lì)申請(qǐng)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(shí)很好。導(dǎo)師言簡(jiǎn)意賅，就是不招生，你也可以死了這條心。
(5)其他型
在緊張的申請(qǐng)過(guò)程中，你可能覺(jué)得很焦躁，未來(lái)很灰暗。要是這個(gè)時(shí)候忽然來(lái)了這樣的一封信，那絕對(duì)讓你激動(dòng)的想喊娘。為了鼓勵(lì)大家，我特意多羅列了幾個(gè)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(zhǔn)備面試吧。
Model 2:
Dear Mr X; I am very sorry I did not reply to you earlier but I have been travelling and very busy with some deadlines. Thank you for your interest in my laboratory an my research on XXXXXXXXXX. Your background is very suitable for this project and I am interested in discussing the possibility of you doing a Ph.D in my lab. Perhaps you could give me a telephone number and time when we could discuss this? I am travelling next week form Tuesday until Thursday but am free most other times. Looking forward to talking to you.
這封信是我永遠(yuǎn)的痛。此處略去一萬(wàn)字。
Model 3：
Hi XX,
Thanks for your email and your interest to pursue your education in XXXX. From your letter and your CV, you are certainly qualified. Let me know if need any specific help from me.
Best
導(dǎo)師表示愿意進(jìn)一步幫助你的申請(qǐng)，下面就看你自己了。
Model 4：
Dear XX,
Sorry for not replying earlier. Your email has actually gone into my spam folder. If you have an official China email address you should use it to communicate with me.
I would be keen to consider you for the project. I would like to have a copy of your CV and you should indicate your area of technical expertise, in particular I would like to know your experience and knowledge in the field of XXX research. If you have technical experience in XXX it would be great.
If you are keen to read up on the current research on this area, I would be able to send you a section of the thesis of my PhD student.
Regards
按照導(dǎo)師的要求，發(fā)給他他想要的材料。
Model 5：
Hi X
Thank you for your mail. I have one project available which involves the XXX. The project would involve molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology and structural biology and would XXXXX. If you are interested in this type of research, please let me know and we can investigate the possibility of a studentship in XXX.
Regards
考慮下你的志愿，給導(dǎo)師一個(gè)回復(fù)。
Model 6：
Mr. X,
Thank you for making an effort to write a comprehensive letter stating your objectives and prior experience. If you will, I do not have a problem of being your supervisor. We could discuss the project in more details and see whether by that time there will be an opening in the lab for you.
BTW, I met your supervisor and sent him some of our transgenics within a framework of collaboration.
Best
注意，導(dǎo)師說(shuō)他做你的supervisor沒(méi)有問(wèn)題。問(wèn)題是你是否能先被admitted。這很可能說(shuō)明在錄取這件事上他無(wú)能為力。
Model 7：
Dear XX:
Your experience is definitely suitable to study in my lab. As I indicated earlier, I will be happy to take you if you can get any type of scholarship. If you have good TOEFL and GRE score, I can try to push you for the Aug-2010 intake.
注意，push這個(gè)詞很有用。說(shuō)明導(dǎo)師能在review的時(shí)候能說(shuō)上話。但前提是你自己要給力。
Model 8：
Hi X,
Sorry for the tardiness in responding. I would be happy to discuss with you. XX can make the arrangements. Can you check on your eligibility?
Regards,
等待小蜜給你安排面試就好。
以上的范例都出自我的申請(qǐng)。代表性有限，大家自行斟酌。要說(shuō)的只有一點(diǎn)。不要以為有了這樣一封看似積極的回復(fù)就萬(wàn)事大吉。事實(shí)上，這只是萬(wàn)里長(zhǎng)征的第一步。大家加油。
