. From 1point 3acres bbs
I'm now at lab and I cannot type in Chinese, sorry.

I plan to apply to Fall 2011 US grad schools in Ph.D of ece. Several weeks ago I tried to approach a prof @umn (actually he is famous in my area) to test my abillity. My first email was concise, just stating that my research interests have a good match with his and asking him whether he will have openings , even without telling him my edu background. Then this was his reply:

"Could you please provide more information about yourself? I may not have openings next year, and I very seldom receive students before they come to the UofM and do some work with me as a testing.
Thanks for your interest."

On receiving his message, I replied by sending him my cv (actually just a draft...). Then his reply changed:

"There is a good chance that I will have openings for students for Fall 2011.
I will know better early 2011, but I suggest your start your application, and
once you submit all the paperwork please let me know. At that time please make me remember that you are the student that visited xxx (I mentioned another prof in my cv that I met before).
Let me know if you need additional information.". From 1point 3acres bbs

This happened within just one day's period. So my conclusion is that profs may variate their replies about openings or else according to their perspectives and evaluations of a "taocier"~

Although I will definitely not apply to umn since it is still not that distinguished, I hope that prof will accept other students that are truly professional and passionate about research.

Actually i wrote an almost identical email later to a prof at columbia and he also replied to ask for my cv, and then we exchanged emails several times. i think it's just magic, or my rp was hiking then...

ps. I have no research experience and no paper... so in my letter I just expressed my "interests". I don't even know why such a letter took effect... especially for this extremely heated branch of ece...

不说任何education背景就有这样的套磁效果,要么是你rp爆发(我不相信),要么就是你发信的邮箱是@mit.edu, @berkeley.edu神马的?

很多well established的教授,不缺学生,有很好的candidate就招,没有的话,不招也行。

迅速看了一下,不是这种学校的。

或者是lz简历里另外一个教授的名字或者那个visit有啥特殊的?

也有可能是lz  gpa啥的爆高之类的原因

lz连edu background都没说,更没有send CV了……所以我很好奇怎么有这么高的回复率……
