转专业水背景申CS，PS求批

转专业，没有什么背景，所以内容都很水。背景见：http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-44427-1-1.html

能写成这样，很不错，鼓励一下
不知道是不是已经提交申请了呢？

我的感觉是你开头两段写得不错，
但是最后两部分有些勉强
你讲说通过跑赢马拉松来获得了转专业的信心，这个还不如说自己通过自学中的不断克服困难来得好吧？
还有最后扯上政治，有点儿太偏了吧。我下意思觉得政治方面的内容还是不要牵涉太多在PS里面。
最后希望能再精简点儿，还是太长。

最后给你转一个以前摘录的别人写PS的删减过程，具体链接忘了，只好全部引用到此：

PERSONAL STATEMENT


Why Change: Embrace Technology

In the second semester of my junior year, I served a four-month internship in Southern Daily,
which is one of the most famous newspapers in China. My work mainly involved news reports
about medical insurance, social welfare and financial policy in Guangzhou. The position trained
me into a true journalist. It also facilitated me to concern the development of media industry. I
witnessed the difficulties of traditional media industry in the face of shocking changes brought
by Computer Science.亲，你申的是CS啊，一上来说这么多记者的事情，作为AO情何以堪啊。反过来说把，虽然我有记着experience，但是我更喜欢cs，然后谈谈为啥喜欢CS已经当记着对你CS的帮助

Nowadays, readers feel more comfortable to collect information on Internet via computer,
mobilephoneandotherelectronicequipments. Besides, thetraditionalwayofcomposinganews
story--by articles and pictures--is also being challenged. Computational journalism and data
journalism have been already prevailing in the U.S. and Europe; and it's reasonable to predicate
that with the development in artificial intelligence, natural language processing, data mining and
other related fields in Computer Science, many jobs of journalists and editors will be done by
computers in the upcoming decades. Though such revolutions seem far from reality in China, it's
obvious that if traditional media cannot properly embrace the new situation, they will not be able
to function well as the role of watch dog in a democratic society. More importantly, I realized
that I need to revise my knowledge structure to survive myself in the IT-dominated future.我觉得你花了一大段在讲现状，一句话讲自己，多浪费字

From Reporter to Coder: An Adventure

Inspired by these facts and consideration, I began to study Computer Science by myself
during the internship. Every day after my work in news room, I went back home to study mathe-
matics and foundation course of Computer Science with the help of MIT OCW until mid-night. I
had a lot of work to do in the daytime, thus the only thing I could compensate was my sleep time.
Being away from campus,I could not take relevant course in the university and had to study alone
without any comrade or instructor. When I was stuck with confusions, I had to search on Google
or enquire strangers via social network (In order to have better communication, I learnt LATEX as
well). When my internship in news room ended, I also successfully finished those courses.赞，不过可以明确说下你self-motivated

After back to campus in my senior year, I took a course of C Programming and contin-
ued self-study with the help of OCW.没明白刚刚说不能take class也没老师，现在又可以了 In the MIT 6.00(Introduction to Computer Science and
Programming), I wrote an automatic-cleaning-robot program with Python. In the MIT 6.006(In-
troduction to Algorithm), I was amazed about the algorithm's essential role in improving the per-
formance of program. In the CS 75(Building Dynamic Website) from Harvard,我不知道你申的是哪里，但是狂说人家学校的课还说的这么具体，AO心理神马感受？还具体课号都说出来了... I built a sketchy
websitethatavailspeopletodovirtualstocktransactions; IusedYQLAPItoavoidcross-domain
request problem and thus via Ajax I could fetch stock data from Yahoo! Finance dynamically
and decently. During studying these courses, I felt myself like an adventurer who found a new
continent. I'm not satisfied by self-study any more and eager to receive a systematic education
in Computer Science. Finally I decided to pursue a master degree in computer science after my
graduation from Journalism School.感觉你本科学的东西不能浪费啊，你可以写记者要写文章，文章要well organized，那么cs在做程序设计的时候也要well organized，所以你的记着功底就用上了，从这方面去思考，挖掘点共性


A Difficult Decision

To switch from Journalism to Computer Science is really a risky decision for me. Computer
Science is a field that seems totally different from journalism. It means a distinct knowledge
sphere and indicates a great change in my career path.虽然我知道你下面有however之类的转折，但是不要强调弱点，ao看到你说这个说1次，其他的说1次，读完以后只记得弱点咋办？ Though I have never doubted my inter-
est and enthusiasm in Computer Science since the day I finished the MIT 6.00 course one and
half years ago, considering the cost and obstacles in my way, I still wondered, without solid un-
dergraduate Computer Science background, whether I can survive an intensive and competitive
Computer Science master program.

This confusion bothered me all the time until the day of January 17, 2012, one of the most
memorable days in my life. On that day I successfully accomplished my first full marathon in
Xia'men International Marathon. After incessantly running 42.195km, overcoming the extreme
exhaustion and several times of convulsion, I finally ran across the finish line with a record
of 4hr34min. At that moment of accomplishment, besides the joy of success, I was also filled
with confidence and determination: since I can turn myself from a gym-loser into a amateur
marathonrunnerwithin6monthsofintensivetraining,IcanalsosucceedinthefieldofComputer
Science through my dedication and enthusiasm. The experience of marathon gave me huge
encouragement and confidence. From that day on, I made up my mind to pursue a master degree
and a career in Computer Science.


Before, Now and Future

In 2008, I chose journalism as my major in university, with the view to making contribution
to the society, particularly to the process of China's democratization. During the study, I delved
myself into reading great books in political philosophy. These great books facilitate me to con-
template the role of media in a democratic society. Furthermore, I served in a student-managed
media as a journalist focusing on breaking news and investigative reports and soon became one
of the top journalists in the campus.

Though being disappointed by some political-propaganda
courses, I still had good performance in many others. I was the best student in the class of News
Writing and my investigative story was discussed by faculties on their meeting. In the course of
History of Chinese Journalism, my final paper was highly praised by the professor because I did
an original research which outlines the media reports during the Changchun Siege in the Chinese
Civil War.没明白这个和cs的关系

However, endeavor in journalism can hardly heal这个次老这么用怪用compensate？catch up？ my disadvantage in Computer Science.
So I plan to study by myself before the entrance date to be well prepared for the intensive grad-
uate study. After being admitted to your university, I will take prerequisite courses as soon and
efficiently as possible to heal my academic deficiency. If possible, I would like to participate
research in labs and internship in industry to enhance my opportunity in further education and
industry. I would like to start my career in an interdisciplinary position between journalism and
Computer Science. Since I'm quite well trained in the journalism sphere, I deeply believe your
university will provide excellent academic environment and career opportunities for me to fulfill
my ambition in Computer Science. It's a long and rough way. However, I have accomplished
many goals by diligence and perseverance and I firmly believe that it will also be fully realized
through dedicating to it.

不知道楼主最后去了哪里，现在也是准备暴力硬转专业。这些年大家都这么想了以后，以前大家说转系友好的学校 ...

以前友好可能是申请的人少，现在大家都知道友好了一哄而上，反而不好申了
相反，以前不友好的，可能因为申请的人少了，由不友好变得友好了

世事难料啊

有点多了吧，建议控制篇幅

"coder"似乎并不是一个好的target, 因为(at leat in my understanding)，coder和做research还是有区别的。
楼主是申MS还是PhD？

MS啦...从文科转CS申PHD要逆天

勉强两页..

哈哈~我算是1/4个新闻专业的人吧。。。赞一个MIT OCW自学的经历！虽然不知道LZ自学到了什么程度，但感觉LZ按跑马拉松的架势学下去应该没问题！
看了你的选校名单，感觉确实太高了。。。不知道LZ在学校里有没有修过带成绩的CS课？MIT的OCW给证明吗？或者。。。有成绩吗？
关于PS。。。我感觉Journalism写的有点多而无用了……以及……提到你当初选择新闻学是为了加速民主进程没有什么意义。。。提到political propaganda是为了解释低绩点？如果是的话就写的明确点，不是就去掉这些内容吧~
future plan感觉还不够明确。转专业的一大优势在于将来可以在两个专业当中找结合点，你虽然提到了一下但是没有具体说下去。我自己的体会是，data mining以及content-based recommendation system(或者从用户角度来说是content customization)肯定是两个很热的方向，也可能是Journalism+CS背景将来最可能的结合点。我们学校似乎就有新闻学和CS一起搞的这种project，我不是特别了解他们具体在研究啥……
最后。。。同意楼上，coder说法不太好

文科思维习惯了吧。。。看不出工科的东西。。。

一门c语言基础课都能说一段。。。有点太水了。。。

老老实实照着CS的sample PS写一篇就行了。。。

现在怎么看都是文科的PS。。。如果申请文科我觉得很好。。。

如果考了sub就好了

能写成这样，很不错，鼓励一下
