AS A PEOPLE SUFFERED A LOT IN APPLICATIONS AND AT LAST GOT WHAT I WANT, I
'D LIKE TO SHARE SOME OF MY EXPERIUENCES AND IDEAS IN RECOMMENDATIONS , TO
HELP THOSE HONORABLE NEW COMERS, AND THOSE WHO ARE SEPARATED, BY ANY REAS
ON , LIKE MY WIFE AND ME.
In my opinion, the most important thing in application differs much from
people people, from school to school. But generally speaking, they will co
nsider all the materials they have and at last, if there ARE STH VERY OUTS
TANDING CONCERNING you, they
will surely give you what you want.
Among the most important things, including recommendaiotns, transcripts,
score in GRE and Tofel, the most common standard is that TRANSCRIPT, TOFEL
, GRE SUB, GRE GENERAL, then the recommendation.
The recommendation becomes the most trivial thing in this procession is b
ecause:
(1) USA professors seems already know that few letters were written by fa
culty members, they are always the work of students'.
(2) There are few professors in china which are famous and willing to wri
te recommedations for students who is going out.
(3) Most professors are not so famous as to be useful in deciding the stu
dents' being admitted or not.
But we have some exceptions here. When you are lucky enough to find a fam
ous professor, famous to be known by many professors in USA, Acedamy membe
rs are not enough in this issue though. To provide a instance, like Zhang
Dainian, Chen daisun, or Zhou
Guangzhao, or some people who are very close friend or holding close rela
tions with the professors you are applying, these peoples recommendations
will be extremely useful.
Anyway, the recommendations are required in the applications, so we need
to choose the recommendations and the people to write it. There are 6 kind
s of recommendations, each is
worse then the next one.
(1) Letters written by you, signed by famous professor or professor close
ly related to the school you are applying;
(2)Letters written by you, corrected by those people as refered above;
(3)Letters written by you, signed by common faculty professors;
(4)letters written by you, corrected by those people as above;
(5)Letters written by famous people and you have no access to it;
(6)Letters written by common ones.
Choose you letters in the order above, and there are many sad experiences
concerning the case against this basic rule: I was refused by 4 top schoo
ls just because I have used a
very famous academy memeber's four reference le
