密歇根州立大学招PhD: 计算机视觉/成像+机器人/自动化+农业/食品, 2023秋/2024春

It is noted that for those who obtained a MS, a MS degree is not substitute for an English score. To be competitive, you need to have higher English scores. No shortcut.

Let English scores be your stepping stone rather than a barrier, if you haven't taken a test yet. Go for it.

Students from non-Engineering background with relevant research experience will not receive favorable consideration.

Students from non-Engineering background WITHOUT relevant research experience will not receive favorable consideration.

Many students without GRE scores are inquiring about the possibility of a GRE waiver. Here are our department's responses:

"Unfortunately, the GRE is a Department requirement, however, there is no minimum score so extensive preparation is not recommended.  Under very unique circumstances we can waive the exam for completed outstanding accomplishments, but this is very unlikely. ".

From my point of view, I would like to see your GRE writing score, because it will reveal your writing skills, which are an important aspect to consider.

To be competitive, your GRE writing score should not be less than 3.5. Many applicants who contacted me have a score 4.0 or higher.

If you send a generic inquiry email, I may not respond. For serious applicants, make sure you have gained knowledge about my research and elaborate on how you can fit in, addition to meeting desired qualifications.
