博士申请
1. 申请专业:Computer Vision;学生背景:复旦大学本科,EE;面试时间:2011年2月
一个20-30名学校的副教授,大牛忽略之吧,纪念我的第一次电面。(P=professor,M=me)
P:Hi!
M:Sorry I forgot the time difference(美国自己的时差,这就是在西部的悲剧)…
P:That’s OK. You are going to apply for 2011 PHD, computer vision, right?
M:Yeah.
P:So now you are working with **. For How long? Will you be with him for a year?
M:No… just one quarter.
P:So tell me about your current project. It is about** right?
M:blabla…(省略对话3分钟)
P:And I notice you have done other interesting projects before working with **. Tell me about that.
M:blabla…(省略对话3分钟). So I think what I have done before and doing now is well suit for your group.
P:Yes. So do you get a bachelor degree? Or a master?
M:(汗…)No. I’ll graduate in 2011. I’m an undergraduate.
P:Ok. Do you have any questions for me?
M:Yes. I notice your group is doing something like **. What’s the relationship between ** and computer vision?
P:blabla…(其中我很汗的是以为他们还做什么DNA的sequence analysis,然后他告诉我不是的…)
M:Ok. So what does your current research focus on?
P:blabla…(省略3分钟,包括很抱歉他们的主页很长时间没更新了云云…)
M:Great. So do you think my background is suit for your group?
P:是的,我就是为了考察你的background是不是适合我的组。你学过linear algebra 和 Probability 吗? 对了,你是EE还是CS?
M:(汗)EE.我都学过,基础的数学课么(然后开始后悔概率论那个倒霉的成绩)
P:So I'll tell you about the admission process…(blabla 3分钟), Do you want the financial support?
M:Yes. So what’s the requirements for the financial support?
P:blabla(1,2,3,4…)大意就是综合考虑,你的背景match不match,课程成绩,Publicaion, GT(虽然不怎么重视),还有就是极其重视推荐信。So you will get recommendation letter from XXX?
M:Yes.
P:Do you mind me contacting with him? We are very familiar with each other.
M:(心想赶快找导师说说,说点我的好话)Ok, Feel free to contact with him.
P:So how many other programs will you apply? Will you apply for ** also?
M:(心想我连选校名单还没最终确定…)Yes. But I’m not sure about whether I can get the admission from **. So I will apply other 10 or more programs.
P:OK. When will you send the materials?
M:(我狂汗,寄材料的事情现在还不在我的考虑之内…)So do you want to see my materials like G/T, PS,CV,transcrips?
P:No, no. Please send your photocopy of transcripts to me…besides to the admission office.大意就是如果等到deadline时候他就没时间看那么仔细了。
M:OK.
P:Any other questions?
M:No. nice talking with you!
P:Yeah, so we get familiar with each other. Feel free to E-mail me if you have any further questions about anything.
然后就是再见了。第一个电话面试,bless 自己,bless大家!
