我总结出了几条人在国内找房子的途径：1. 告诉所有你认识的人，我在某个地方找房子，你们在那可有认识的人？2. 去当地中国人的论坛问。3. 一家家学生宿舍发信问.3 当地报纸的网站看看可有人贴住房广告。奥地利今年年初新颁布了一个外国人居留法收紧了visa，但这对中国学生有多少影响还不知道。我能做的也就是把材料做的尽可能的完美递上去，再次等待了。</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">在飞跃过程中我越来越感到，无论是现在的申请，还是将来出去后的学习，不管是什么决定，都一定要是自己做的。不要因为别人怎么样，或者别人期望你怎么样而影响到自己的决定。因为，只有自己做的决定自己才不会后悔，在碰到困难的时候才会有勇气与力量好好走下去，这是你自己选择的生活，你要为自己的决定负责任。 在飞跃这条路上大家都不容易，希望每个人都能有一个好结果吧。就写这么多了。下周就要递签了，希望能够一切顺利&hellip;&hellip;<br />&nbsp;</span></p>]]></description><category>心理学留学</category><comments>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/492/#comment</comments><wfw:comment>http://diylx.cn/</wfw:comment><wfw:commentRss>http://diylx.cn/feed.asp?cmt=492</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://diylx.cn/cmd.asp?act=tb&amp;id=492&amp;key=f7637246</trackback:ping></item><item><title>心理学专业申请纪实</title><author>lynn.han1021@gmail.com (Lynn)</author><link>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/469/</link><pubDate>Sat, 05 Dec 2009 11:30:04 +0800</pubDate><guid>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/469/</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small">下面全是个人意见，纯属参考。如有偏颇或过多无谓内容，敬请包涵。<br /><br />内容：<br />1 出国动机<br />2 个人背景和方向<br />3 选校和最后结果<br />3.1 排名<br />3.2 选校感想<br />4 申请过程<br />4.1 套磁<br />4.2 CV<br />4.3 PS<br />4.4 推荐信<br />4.5 面试<br />5 感想<br /><br />1 出国动机<br /><br />这是最基本的问题，也是最重要的问题。如果你没有成就动机，你的自我效能感 不会高，你将来也不见得会在该行找到好工作。更重要的是，你在申请途中会越来越迷惑，影响自己准备出国的过程，成功率会大大降低。所以，想好为什么要出国，选定读心理学什么方面（Clinical, Counseling, I/O, Quantitative, Social, Developmental, Cognitive, Neuroscience, etc.），想好才在该方面准备好自己的优势，这样拿牛offer就不远了。<br /><br />做好目前的计划，想想读PhD的计划，你想在美国这几年做什么，研究什么东西，毕业后做什么。其实这些都是为你的PS做好准备的。<br /><br />2 背景和方向<br />方向：Quantitative Psychology<br />GPA: 3.5, Major GPA: 3.6, GRE: 510 + 800 + 4.0, TOEFL: 103奖学金，挑战杯一等奖，校长基金，去过CUHK做RA。文章有过3篇，一篇第一作者（国内核心），两篇第三作者（国内核心和国外的）。会议文章有三篇。<br /><br />P.S. Quant有两个方向：Measurement和Statistics。大家到了大四就明白了。<br /><br />方向：Industrial / Organizational Psychology<br />J/S GPA: 3.7, Major GPA: 3.89, GRE: 570 + 800 + 4.0, TOEFL: 106<br />奖学金，科研（与美国的跨文化合作项目，自己也有研究），学校几个社团做过leader，国外实习和外企实习（HR）。会议文章有三篇。<br /><br /><br />我们背景都不算特别强，各自有硬伤。我的是GPA和GRE（附注：前人曾建议我去修数学双学位（基础数学），但由于个人更喜欢自学和科研，加上自己大一的个人问题，所以没有报名）。个人理解，数学双学位固然是很有优势，毕竟Quant需要一定的统计学基础。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">此外，编程也是一个重要环节。大家的计算机课别耽误了，而且好好学习编程，使用统计软件也是好事情。研究经验部分目的是用来拿好推荐信的，也最好能在推荐信表现出来证明。背景你要</span><span style="font-size: small">大学期间好好累积的，不是大三完了临急抱佛脚搞定的。早点想好自己人生目标，制定职<br />业规划，不停争取自己的申请优势和竞争力。T基本只是参考，过100就足够了。有些州有法例里要求（比如Illinois州要求口语过24），研院的要求基本可以不用管。对于GPA和GRE的关系，基本都是用来砍申请者（尤其是I/O这种申请者众多的program的），但是一样，越高越好，没坏处的。建议GRE &gt; 500(Quant), 600 (I/O)，GPA &gt; 3.3 (北大算法）。<br /><br />3 选校和最后结果<br />对于Quantitative和I/O，有两个网站提供了学校名单可以参考：<br />Quant: APA Divsion 5 (http://www.apa.org/divisions/Div5/programs.html)<br />I/O: SIOP Graduate School Info (http://www.siop.org/gtp/gtplookup.asp)<br /><br />3.1 排名<br />US News每年都会出来一个心理专业排名的，从DIY留学博客下载就好。Quant没有一个给自己专用的Ranking，可以参考US News 心理通用排名。更重要的是，从师兄师姐和其他教授们获得学校在该行的名气（尤其是Quant这种没有任何官方排名的）。I/O的排名有很多，US News和SIOP的网站都有详细介绍，仔细参考参考。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">此外，使用Web of Science和Journal Citation Record（Thomson公司出品，学校没有买）的数据库，可以分别查询向往的导师文章被引用次数，和投稿杂志的影响因子（IF），都可以作为选择学校的标准。<br /><br /><br />I/O和Quant在同一个学校都有比较少，而且很多是Quant排名（主要原因是这些学校只有教育系开Quant Program），还有学校是根本没有Quant，只有某些教授做相关工作。根据自己实力、排名和双飞学校的交叉，我们选择决定如下（我们都根据各自的排名分为三个档次）：<br /><br />Quantitative </span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">1st rank: UIUC, ASU, USC, KU, Missouri-Columbia, UGA (Applied)2nd rank: UND, USF (I/O), KSU (I/O), Ohio (Experimental), TAMU (Educationa<br />对于Quantitative和I/O，有两个网站提供了学校名单可以参考：Quant: APA Divsion 5

Claremont, TAMU<br />Reject: USF, Purdue, Clemson, KSU<br />Interview: WSU (Web-based)<br />Withdraw: CUHK<br /><br />决定：UIUC<br /><br />3.2 选校感想<br />Quantitative <br />1) ASU：<br />对中国学生友好，心理系也是比较有名的。Quant（Stat）一直是Top的学校。需要的学生是统计和心理学的理论都需要好好掌握的，不能只侧重统计而忽视心理学知识的基础。这也是他们考虑要人的因素。（后来别人跟我说UNC也是很top的，但是由于很少要中国小本，所以没申请）<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">2) UND：<br />也是对中国学生友好的学校，Quant Program也是很好的。从2008年开始，他们招生委员会决定以后招生时候都需要给学生安排一位导师，而不是去到才选，因此套磁也是需要的。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">3) Missouri：对中国学生也友好，比较小的Quant Program。</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">4) KU：也不算大Program，详细也不清楚了。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">5) UIUC：<br />Measurement强的学校，把我据了，也没面试，理解不多。学校对中国人不错，系ms对我校非常友好的感觉。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">6) USC：前两年有两个师姐去了这学校，有一个大牛做LGM。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">7) 教育系（e.g. TAMU和Purdue）：给钱很少（甚至没有），而且在US News的心理排名都较低。那道而很想去的话估计要不停哭穷。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">8) 其它不是Quant program的学校（UGA、KSU、Clemson、USF），都是因为要双飞的原因才申请。由于不是match，结果也显而易见。<br /><br />Quantitative的牛校（比如UCLA、ASU、UNC、OSU、UIUC）我都没有选太多，主要是我的绩点和GRE的问题。申请ASU和UIUC我都是赌运气的。MSU一位教授跟我说过，不到最后一秒他们也无法确定今年他们自己要不要人，钱够不够。每所学校要人的机制不一样，比如MSU是一个说了算，套磁就是必须的。而有一些还是要开会大家决定的，尽可能打听情报。最后就是，不能绝对相信学校是不是对北大特别友好的说法，靠自己实力更加实际。但是如果学校连中国教授和学生一个都没有的话，那就真的要注意要不要申请。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">此外，你也不能准确估计自己的实力到哪里，你不可能知道该年申请者的实力如何。所以，无论你是大牛还是普通人，画ranking一样重要，只是取向未必一样（而且我的申请结果也很天意弄人，前两档各有两个，保底的一个都不给我）。保底是必须的，多少则因人而异。正如太傻十日谈里说的一样，你只想去牛校，就没有保底的必要。<br /><br />I/O (Pinkylove):<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">TAMU的I/O之前都没有过中国人，他们德州人有点排外，而且这个学校对于GPA和GRE的要求有点变态的高，所以如果不是对自己的GRE和GPA非常非常有信心的话，不是很建议申这个学校。USF之前招过2个中国人，但都是研究生毕业去的，所以我个人觉得他们比较倾向于招<br />研究经历比较丰富研究生。这个学校专业排名很靠前，申的人也非常多，所以一定要多方<br />面综合起来全都非常牛气才有可能被看中。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">GMU申请者也很多，但是他们对国际学生的funding有点困难，所以据说那里的国际学生比较忧心每一年的饭钱。MSU，Bowling Green，Akron都是I/O很靠前的好学校，但是这三家都要sub，所以如果想要考虑多点选择机会的话，考个sub也不错。UH是个还挺友好的学校，连着两年给了北大学生I/O的offer，而且这个学校有比较明显的上升趋势，地理位置也好，找工作方便。选校也要考虑治安状况，比如GATech虽然排名好，但是在Atlanta，治安极差。还有Wayne State U.在Detroit，治安也很差。考虑到人身安全，这些学校还是要慎重。<br /><br />4 申请过程<br />4.1 套磁<br />不同专业套磁的作用不一样，但是对于心理学来讲，我认为套磁还是很重要，无论是简套还是精套。尽可能在早点的时间决定心目中想申请的学校（个人建议15个左右就够了，老板也不愿意签太多推荐信，而且Quant的学校都没这么多给你申请），然后对每个教授尽快开始套磁。我的套磁并不是很成功，但是有套磁的也并不代表你会拿到offer，起码人家在审材料的时候多关注你，补救你不利的硬伤也说不定。起码对于Quantitative来说，我认为更多的看重person-person fit，因此好的套磁显得更为重要。<br /><br /><br />套磁不算是很成功的，主要就是跟几个很想去的学校的老师发过一两 email，都是中性的关于申请的提问和中性的回答。USF的Prof. Spector虽然回答问题比较热情，但是还是拒了我，所以简单的陶瓷作用不大。如果真想让套磁起作用，最重要还是早早的行动，专注一两个套，套研究，问题问得深一点，多几个来回，还是很有用的！<br /><br />果想要考虑多点选择机会的话，考个sub也不错。UH是个还挺友好的学校，连着两年给了北大学生I/O的offer，而且这个学校有比较明显的上升趋势，地理位置也好，找工作方便。选校也要考虑治安状况，比如GATech虽然排名好，但是在Atlanta，治安极差。还有Wayne State U.在Detroit，治安也很差。考虑到人身安全，这些学校还是要慎重。<br /><br /><br />4.2 CV<br />CV模版很多很多，在网上就很多例子，在这儿就不写了。根据有申请经验的朋友建议，写上position或title后应该简单描述自己该项experience干了什么，achievement有什么，让教授一看就明白，印象会更好。<br /><br />4.3 PS<br />非常同意飞越手册说的道理，一定要突破框框，让自己的PS吸引眼球，不是用你的牛气经验，而是用生动的方式表你的背景，或者写出你对该专业的特定理解。我自己就没做到后面的一点。最好找native speaker帮忙修改一下表达方式，对psy来说clinical或者social的师兄师姐的创意和文采应该比较好，建议多找他们帮忙。<br /><br /><br />改PS要克服厌烦的心态，要有耐心，哪怕一天改一点点，一个词一个句子也 行。都要改上个十几、二十遍才拿得出手。最后没有针对各个学校有太多变化，大概就是把学校和教授名字改了一下。PS还要删除一切不是特别相关的信息，它的信息量不在大，而在于把一些重点的事情说清楚。<br />（说对了，没相关别写，CV可以考虑，可能你删掉的时候很心疼，但是着重闪光点的情况下，你必须放弃一些东西。）<br /><br />4.4 推荐信<br />I/O 基本都不会有面试的，除了极个别例子（IO就是研究选择人的，所以可 能与别的项目不大相同，可能跟他们相信自己personnel selection能力和避免面试的主观印象偏颇决定等）。<br /><br />5 个人感想<br /><br />从我自己的结果来看，我选校策略一开始很人说我低估了自己，但是从结果出来的看，起码我的选校我觉得是没错的。所以我认为大家多一点点保底校（3-4个左右）是需要的，有时候申请里面太多不可控的因素了。一点建议，寄材料和提交网申前记得多加检查。提交后记得保持联系小米，问他们材料是否complete，让自己的材料能顺利送审。对于Quantitative来说，数学课、统计课和计算机课都很重要，尽量争取在这几门拿到好分数，有空余时间的话在外系也多选点课如数双、线性代数、多元统计、编程等。对于GRE，尽管要求没有临床和I/O的要求高，争取过500应该是最基本的了。至于双飞，我能说的就是，两个人在申请路上，互相提点，互相帮助，互相鼓励，让我们都从痛苦的申请过程熬过来。我申请准备材料的时候一直都不顺利，还有几次弄错材料就提交，少寄材料，T分没送到&hellip;&hellip;这些mm都在身旁鼓励我，让我顺 利地解决问题。记得有人说过，双飞让你选校显得更不明智。我会理解为你需要在更少的空间（因为两个专业的重叠）里面找到合适的申请学校，但这并非不明智。如果你喜欢更多的自由空间，可能毕业后好聚好散比你痛苦的双飞更好。也有可能你爱你的另一半不够深，脱离双<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">飞是你找新伴侣的理由：<br />双飞有几个境界，一次排序为：<br />第一级：一起去美国&hellip;&hellip;<br />第二级：一起去一个州的学校<br />第三级：分别去距离很近的两歌学校（以一个小时车程为准的学校）<br />第四级：一起去同一个学校<br />看自己怎么决定了，当然第四级是很困难的。我们两个都是事业型的人，都想在事业上有所作为。ASU和UIUC的老板都是在各自领域里面试最顶尖的代表（而且别人也强烈推荐）。而且，天意弄人，我们第三和第四级我们最后都拿到了。可能，如果你们是家庭型的人，做出的决定跟我们不一样，纯粹是个人的选择问题。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">（注：第三级：UND，尽管是不错的program，我不是很喜欢，而且不是很match，所<br />以放弃了。第四级：TAMU，都在我们从了之后，mm才拿到TAMU的，而我的又早早decline<br />了。）<br /><br />申I/O，高GRE最重要！！！其次是高GPA！！！绝对很必要，尤其是打算冲刺牛校的</span><span style="font-size: small">人。其次，教授很看重的是研究兴趣的匹配，所以最好能够在申请之前就多了解I/O的相关领域，多阅读相关的文献和书籍，以确定自己的研究方向和兴趣。其实目前I/O流行的一些研究领域就是固定的那几个，所以多看看比较top的杂志，看看大家目前都在关注的是什么领域的东西，对申请也是有好处的。研究兴趣可以多确定几个方面，这样针对不同学校的不同教授，你可以用自己不同的研究兴趣来匹配。之前的研究经历如果能覆盖到你的研究兴趣这些领域的话，帮助会更大。关于实习经历，我不知道会不会起到作用，但是在打眼一点的地方的实习经历多多少少会为你加些分数的。</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">申I/O，因为基本上是心理学里面最好找工作的一个方向，所以竞争也是异常的激烈！所以在一开始的时候，很重要的就是要放低姿态，不要太心高气傲，只挑中牛校申。其实即使一般般的学校，读I/O的前景也是很不错的。而且一般开I/O项目的学校听起来都不是那种耳熟能详的名字，所以在别人都申那些名校的时候，心理多多少少会经历一些郁闷。但是只要想到将来自己的美好前景，只要有很强的motivation的话，其实这个选择真的还挺好的。从这个层面上来讲，如果要是想一定出去读I/O的话，保底工作就要做的充足一些，保底学校也要多考虑几家，因为每年申请不确定性太大，运气成分也很重要。</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">其实一开始我是抱定了找工作的心态，规划也是按照这个方向做的。但是后来在大二下的暑假忽然决定要出国，所以其实整个出国的准备都是在大三一整年完成的。相比较很多从大一大二就明确要出国的同学来讲，准备的也许真的不够充分，包括科研、成绩等等。而当初义无反顾的选择I/O的时候，也是很胆战心惊的，毕竟I/O的申请难度是我们都非常清楚的，而我完全没有选择类似Quantitative这样的方向来当作保底，就是因为我一开始就有非常强烈和明确的动机，我就是要学这个方向，即使去的学校不好也要学这个方向，所以一切都按着这个准备，反而因为专注而更有效果！<br /><br />6 感谢<br /><br />首先感谢出国路上互相扶持、互相鼓励的Jam同学，从一起准备TOEFL、GRE，一起选学校，一起写PS、CV、推荐信，一起寄材料，到互相督促背单词，互改GRE作文，互改PS、CV、RL，互相检查邮寄材料&hellip;因为多了一份支持，感觉这条路走得更加坚定，即使在低<br />落、不顺心的时候也不会放弃。</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">其次要感谢MSU的Jason Huang师兄，在修改PS，选择学校，了解I/O领域的相关情况方面，Jason师兄的确给了很多实用而中肯的建议，让我能够迅速入门。还有，也要感谢Nancy师姐，USF的Xu Xian师姐，UIUC的He Jibo师兄、我们实验室的Chang Shiqing师姐、Zhuang Mingke师兄、Li Yuanyuan师姐等，他们在申请过程中都给了我很多的帮助和建议。<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">还要特别感谢帮我写推荐信的老师们，给他们添了很多的麻烦，真的特别感谢他们的耐心！<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small">最后要感谢家人的支持。他们知道的并不多，但是他们总是在努力地知道更多，以便和我们能够沟通。因为我们的选择，他们开始关注美国的消息，哪怕一点点，他们也会竖起耳朵，然后关切地告诉我们。他们总是说，不要担心申请费用，只要喜欢的学校，就去尝试一下。拿到offer他们比我们更高兴，拿到rej他们还会鼓励支持我们。所以，在出国之前不多的时间里，大家还是尽可能多陪陪家里人吧!<br /><br

style="font-family: 宋体">我的最终版PS第一段就是我为什么一开始选BIO，后来又转到PSY的原因。这不是像我上一次（05-06年）申请一样为赋新词强说愁，而是完全真实的。虽然看得出来我完全是个心理菜鸟，但我想也正是这真实的感受打动了鬼子教授们。当然，我选择BIO的另一些原因在PS里是不用提的。<br /><br />Why do I choose cognitive neuroscience?<br /><br />In elementary school, my friends often asked me why I always did well in all subjects. What I could reply was just &ldquo;work hard and concentrate&rdquo;. In fact, when I was bored and tired after writing lots of characters for 15 times to remember them, I thirsted for a method more scientific than simply spending a lot of time on cramming. Later, when I started to learn English, my teacher taught me an &ldquo;optimized schedule&rdquo; based on Ebbinghaus&rsquo; research to help memorize huge numbers of English words. This not only helped me learn English more efficiently but also inspired me to wonder how our brain processes and arranges the knowledge that we learned daily, and how we could make use of future discoveries to aid more complex educational activities, such as comprehension of a theorem in mathematics. Maybe this would be similar to how we cleaned up our house to achieve an optimal status within a given space, and how we found the best bus route to a friend&rsquo;s home in a metropolis. The solutions must be intricate but possible, and every step to the goal will be important.<br /><br />Thinking that cognition and learning are functions of nervous system, charact eristics of life forms, I chose biological sciences as undergraduate major.In college, I attended a number of lectures, of which most were informative and impressive by elaborated slides and magically apprehensible style of narration, while a few were so dull that I gained nothing from them. Perception of visual and auditory information plays a crucial role in our development, study and career. Though we have summarized much experience to improve communication and education, we need more evidence from research to reach perfection<br />. To make good use of my knowledge and my motivation, I decided to turn to the overlap of biology and psychology after my graduation. My dream was further enlightened in a visit to the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning in Beijing Normal University in July 2006, where a team of researchersapplied their research results on language acquiring to recompilation of text book for elementary school. This aroused my sense of mission to contribute to human intelligence. Soon after, Daniel Schacter&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Seven Sins of Memory&rdquo; showed me more exciting and interesting questions that have been answered or remain unknown.<br /><br />This interdisciplinary science embraces biology, psychology, mathematics, philosophy and other fields to conduct comprehensive study. My work has trainedme an interactive teamplayer, who is capable of complete understanding and clear expressing, quickly raising key questions. With solid knowledge and skills, I clutch every opportunity to learn from others to continuously increase my research capacity. I hope that my preciseness, honesty and creativity will lead to a great contribution.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体">去年3月加入课题组后立即开始这几类事情：看书，做实验，分析数据，选校。前三件都是为了尽快充实构思中的PS。选校开始后不久，我和国外回来的从BIO转专业（不是PSY）的朋友交流过，最后确定申请30-100名之间的学校的Ph.D，以东部和湖区为主，加上其他地区兴趣上比较Match的学校。<br /><br />对我而言，要想在不考研的情况下直接出国，写好PS几乎是唯一的出路。PS的写作实际上并不顺利，虽然脑海里不断涌动着对从前经历的有趣回忆和对当前领域的强烈兴趣，但总不知道该怎么组织语句。同时由于实验进展不快，PS的研究经历部分也没法写，在申请之前发文章（哪怕中文的）更成了做梦。但我当时已经明确告诉自己，不准拖过07-08赛季，并且当时对自己申请到Ph.D也信心十足。<br /><br />11月底才写好PS的初稿。当时的第一段只有现在的三分之一多点，后来所有看过稿子的人都说要扩充。这时我估计很可能要错过12.15那一批了。修改PS的过程还算快，并且一次就完成。但这时推荐信又拖延了，结果勉强赶上元旦deadline的几个学校还有最后1.15号的。寄出材料后还打算孤注一掷，继续找2，3月截止的，找了三四个，最后都没申&mdash;&mdash;不太Match，位置也不好，而且事后来看没必要。</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体">然后就开始发信确认材料完整。在少数几个没有回复的学校里就包括了最后给Ad的。这是我在申请中最大的败笔之一，详情见后。<br /><br />寒假里翻hotmail垃圾邮件箱看到Tufts的phone interview邀请（所以提醒大家不要忽略垃圾箱）。双方其实都没说啥实质内容（我也知道我还没多少货），结果几天后对方告知Thank you but I have admitted some students，再过一个月Tufts给了据信。我很失望，但也不再想它，也不管一封接一封的拒信，盯住后面的。<br /><br />最后阶段的流水帐式日志如下：<br />4.13 该校的博士申请被拒，其时已有12封据信<br />4.14 小米告知材料按照硕士申请重申。和家里讨论自费/半自费出国的可能<br />4.15 该校研院告知Your application is held up because one of your recommendati<br />on is missing，我当时震呆，后悔没有打电话核实材料情况。不过研院说可以用电邮附件重寄一遍。<br />给老板写信，老板说信需要修改但他这几天太忙（确实如此）。<br />4.18 系里小米回信告知we have received the recommendation from Prof. xx BUT WE CAN'T OPEN IT.我寄的可是纸板信，而不是老板网上提交，至此彻底搞晕。<br />5.7早上 看信箱，小米告知we have sent a recommendation to graduate school&hellip;&hellip;由于我一直想着推荐信的事，所以以为只是推荐信弄好了。关掉信箱前看到最后一个词con<br />gratulations，当场在实验室里喊Offer&mdash;&mdash;!Offer&mdash;&mdash;!Offer! 好在当时整层楼只有我<br />和两个同学，不然估计得写检讨&hellip;&hellip;<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体">下午 给家里说了被录取<br />5.14 收到Email录取函。问小米The ratio of admitted/total applicants of master，<br />告知4/44，成就感与后悔并存。同日收到第14封Ph.D据信。至此还剩一个Master在申，是这个Ad附近的学校。由于给Ad的学校好些，决定去。</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family:

/>收到录取决定的时候正是家乡地震第三天，最悲惨和忙乱的时刻。家人除了一句祝贺也无暇跟我谈更多。没有什么心思去庆祝，只是给心理系的朋友说了当地招志愿者的事情和我的一点设想，也算是给将来的路开个有意义的头&mdash;&mdash;虽然我做的是偏理科的cognitive方向。<br /><br />我不是什么去美国面了一堆学校然后拿了一堆Offer的牛人。我是班上唯一一个拖了三年才出国的，05-06年申请失败，06年底最后时刻因为斗志崩溃而放弃。我是个人生观和价值观有问题的愤青，和原专业里一些前景辉煌的科研单位格格不入，甚至用叛徒和loser这样的称呼来调侃自己。老实讲，在一年内（如果截止申请开始的话其实也就八九个月）我能做的改变很有限；我的申请结果，很大程度上还是受制于我非常poor的硬件条件。至于这样一手坏牌是怎么弄出来的，这是另一个故事。而剖析这个故事，对我本人已经没有任何意义。意义可能只在于，很多年后我的孩子也面临一次次选择的时候，我们能避免重复错误。<br /><br />心若在，梦就在。最重要的是时刻寻找自己，不要拒绝批评，反思和自我否定。</span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family:

style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体">本科-Psychology&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(China Mainland) &nbsp;时间：2007/Fall&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;申请：Psychology&nbsp;&nbsp;(United States/PhD)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><font color="#008000"><font color="#000000">写这篇申请总结，一则为给心理系以后申请的ddmm们谈一些自己的感受，二则也感谢DIY留学的老胡给我很多中肯的建议。我的申请并没有经历什么大的波澜，也许与自己的心态有关，大四开学后心态平缓了很多，申请也只是完成一个应该完成的夙愿，一个过程。<br /><br /><strong>背景<br /></strong>Overall GPA 3.84, Major GPA 3.91<br />T 650+5, G 630+3.5 （汗，只准备了一个上午的作文，一周的verbal，能这样也就可以了&hellip;&hellip;）<br />校长基金和其他科研经历都是在言语听觉研究中心，心理系的行为神经科学实验室完成的，提交材料时Journal of Neuroscience Method一篇（第二作者），SfN2006摘要一篇（第二作者），后来update了Behavioral Pharmacology一篇（第一作者），Brain Research一篇（第三者）<br /><br /><strong>结果<br /></strong>Offer: Yale, Brown, Indiana, Iowa, KSU<br />Interview: ASU, UIUC (withdrawn to others)<br />Rejection: UCLA, UCSB, SUNY-Buffalo, UPenn<br />Withdraw: Cornell, Dartmouth, JHU, NYU, BU, Emory, OSU, PSU, Tufts, UTexas-Au<br />stin, USC<br /><br />一些体会<br />1）选校：我自己申请的是非常保守的，当然这跟我没有什么可以用来保底的学校有一定关系，按着专业排名top10, 10-50,50-100, 100-200这样分了几档，大概前50的占了一半左右，最后一共是22个学校。此外，到底怎么选？有没有勇气只申请牛校（大概很多其他理科院系的牛人都是这样选校的）？我一位大牛朋友，CUHK心理03的（特别牛, 大一就在ICP2004做presentation, UMich, Yale都做过visiting RA的），就是这样做的，最后拿到了Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, UMich, NYU的offer。</font></font></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><font color="#008000"><font color="#000000">不过从我的申请结果来看，比较好的学校中，Cornell, Dartmouth, JHU, NYU一系列都没有什么消息，只有Yale, Brown, Indiana的offer还算不错，可能说明保守一些并不为过。此外，选校的时候，要考虑之前申请的情况，比如，UMich现在对北大心理系的申请并不友好，而UIUC则对我们尤其友好（今年发了一堆offer&hellip;&hellip;），Tufts儿童发展系也很友好（尽管发Ad居多），USC也比较友好（以前发过很多，今年我们一个南开一个，还有两个waiting list），还有Iowa, Brown, Fordham, WUSTL, OSU这些都是之前给过我们offer的，而心理系又正好比较齐全，什么方向都有，都可以考虑。</font></font></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><font color="#008000"><font color="#000000">另一个就是硬件条件问题，整体感觉是越好的学校对GT要求越松，越差的学校反而有一些比较诡异的要求，一般而言，心理系申请，GPA&gt;3.5,G&gt;500,T&gt;600就可以申请很好的学校了。另一个就是心理的sub，牵涉到一个费效比的问题，据我所知，要求心理sub的其实不多，印象中好学校只有Stanford, UCLA要求sub，其他的都只是推荐而已（不过有些烂校反而要求sub，很是ft&hellip;&hellip;），而心理学的不同方向中，临床相比而言最推荐要sub，基础则好很多了。所以ddmm们如果不是特别怨念Stanford的话，还是剩下这笔钱吧。<br /><br />2）选program: 这个每个方向都不一样，我谈谈生理方向的感受。申请的时候，我自己全部申请的都是behavioral neuroscience，包括psychology（18所）以及neuroscience（4所）。具体小的方向上，因为我自己本科做得东西比较杂，跟别人不是特别一致，所以主要根据自己的技术背景，一是电生理，作extracelluar recording（然后申请的时候发现人家一水儿的patch-clamp，很是郁闷&hellip;&hellip;）二是药物实验，包括最简单的i.p.之类以及复杂一些的脑区的微量注射；申请了两个方向：学习记忆的生理机制以及心理药理学（如成瘾等）。</font></font></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><font color="#008000"><font color="#000000">由于BN不是在每个学校的psycho都有，导致在学校的选择上局限性很大；补充的若干neuro，也只有UIUC有一个面试通知，可能说明自己在与生科和医学的同学比较时，实验背景上还是有差距的。但是反过来想，也给这些院系以后的ddmm一个提示，就是你们也是可以申请psycho的，不一定要严格地局限于Neuro。<br /><br />3）材料准备: 恩，整体感觉尽早办是比较好的，不过就成绩单而言，做基金的同学，如果预期基金会有比较高的分数，可以等着分数出来再办，除了极少数学校赶不上deadline的，一般都是没有问题的。推荐信看情况，有的老师喜欢自己写，有的则让学生代劳，我比较幸运只自己写了一篇，3篇一个是导师自己写的，强调科研；一个是UCLA的一位和我们合作的教授写的；最后是我另一个方向lab的导师和班主任的，是我自己写的，适当提了一些课外活动以及获奖情况等等。</font></font></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><font color="#008000"><font color="#000000">PS我写的比较认真，第一稿照搬了实验室一位师兄的，然后请多人修改，中途一次很大的修改参考了woshialex的PS（感谢啊！！），润色阶段有UCLA以及HKBU的两位教授，还有若干native speakers修改过，结构上与woshiale那份比较一致，主要强调科研经历，但是match部分写的并不好，基本每个学校只改了校名和professor的名字（因为本来也不算match，完全match的faculty们都在瑞士的ETH呢&hellip;&hellip;），语言比较朴实简练，没有什么修饰或文采等等。<br /><br />4）套磁: 我不是特别的成功，因为没有很早做打算（这点我们系有的同学非常成功），所以开始陶瓷都10月份呢了，也没有认真地看别人的研究，基本都是把简历发给别人完事，陶瓷结果：绝大多数老师不理我&hellip;&hellip;若干老师告诉不招生&hellip;&hellip;一个老师名字写错导致不申该校&hellip;&hellip;最后表示了好感的有四个，分别是Yale, Brown, BU, UIUC，可是仍然都只是回了一封信，鼓励申请的套话而已，所以不知道套磁究竟对申请有什么用。也许很早就开始联系会好一些吧，太晚了像我这样的，似乎没什么很大的用途。<br /><br />5）面试: 都是电话面试，为了准备面试，特地很早回家准备呆两天就回学校，结果到家就收到Yale的面试（ft&hellip;&hellip;），大概就是准备了先前的研究经历（ps经历的详细介绍）和一些经典问题，比如日后的打算，课程相关，为什么选BN，为什么选该校等等。第一次面的很紧张，后来状态就越来越好，也越发轻松了。</font></font></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><font color="#008000"><font color="#000000">心理跟别的专业在面试上可能有些差别，比如PIBBS，会发一堆面试进行海选，心理的面试基本都是导师自己完成的，而且如果不是发挥太差，一般都会给offer的，所以ddmm们拿到面试的时候一定要自信！人家已经看中你了，面试主要就是看看你的口语如何，能否来U.S.完成学业之类，不会太严格。今年心理发了很多面经，已经基本cover了全部方向，问题也比较全面，ddmm以后可以多多<br />参考。<br /><br />6）综合: 申请对方到底看什么？这个问题从申请之初我就一直在想，和同学也在讨论，也没有固定的答案，尤其心理每年国内申请的人并不算多（国外却非常热门），就更不好找一般规律了。当然，你要是足够牛，像我那位大牛朋友的一样，各方面全面一流，是没有理由不拿到offer的，可是这样的人太少了，我们能做到的就是尽量把自己能做好的事情做到最好，申请过程问心无愧，就好了。当然，运气也很重要，我能申到Yale，也归功于PI今年毕业了一位博士，我正好补漏，而我的朋友竟被Yale锯掉，也是因为对方的老师今年full lab不要学生的缘故。</font></font></span></span><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><br /><br

style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">On the lintel of the gate of Apollo temple in Delphi in ancient Greece has ever carved such a sentence, &ldquo;Man, please know yourself&rdquo;. With the curiosity to understand human beings and the desire to explore human nature, I chose to study psychology. Beijing Normal University, the renowned university with best psychology department in China, provides me with a strong academic atmosphere and a solid psychology basis. During the four year undergraduate study, four books had great impacts on me.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: left"><strong><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Psychology and Life</i></span></span></strong></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">As an introductory book,<i> psychology and life</i> leaded me into the world of psychology, and gave me a general idea of the wide-ranging terrain of psychology. With the interests in several branches of psychology aroused from the book, I participated in research projects in cognitive psychology, social psychology and human resource management since I was a sophomore, such as &ldquo;a priming study of complex character: the effect of position information and semantic information of the radicals in Chinese&rdquo;; &ldquo;study of the impaired spoken and written language in brain-damaged patients&rdquo;; &ldquo;human resources research in Xinglong company&rdquo;, etc. From these RA experiences, I had the opportunity to take part in the up-to-date explorations of psychology, get familiar with the methods in the study of psychology, and gain insights into the design concept of psychological research.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">The way psychology and life often illustrates psychology principle with daily examples inspires me that simple phenomenon could be implications of great principles or rules, but common people just ignore them. In contrast, psychologists try to find out the commonness in various complicated phenomenon, abstract general psychology principles and use them to improve the quality of life. Therefore, on one hand, I consciously apply psychology knowledge to explain people&rsquo;s behaviors and social phenomenon; On the other hand, I utilize psychology research methods to study realistic issues. Cooperating with three collaborators, I implemented the research on &ldquo;online advertising placement and its effects on web advertisement recognition&rdquo;, which was funded by Beijing Normal University Undergraduate Research Foundation. Through the research process, I experienced the excitement of transforming our constructs into concrete operations, and the sense of achievement by substituting concise conclusions for complicated data.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left"><strong><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Social Psychology</i></span></span></strong></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Impressing me by many interesting and artful researches, <i>Social Psychology </i>emphasizes the power of situation on human behaviors and the typical mistakes people tend to make, which expanded my understanding of human nature. <i>Social psychology </i>intrigued me into more readings and researches in social psychology, which made me determined to study social psychology in as my specialty. I am particularly interested in the area of self, persuasion and culture.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left"><strong><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Learned Optimism</i></span></span></strong></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Facing the same situation, people with different explanatory styles vary in their behaviors and emotions. This is what Martin E.P. Seligman demonstrates in his famous book. After reading this book, I am particularly interested in the concept of Locus of Control. Meanwhile, always suffering from traffic jam, a question haunted me: who would be more anxious under time pressure circumstances, people in controllable situation or uncontrollable situation? Thus, how relative stable disposition interacts with situational factors became my major concern. As the final group project of social psychology course, I designed a field experiment to investigate the interaction of locus of control with the controllability of situation, the coping styles and their effect on people&rsquo;s anxiety under time pressure. I was kissed by the passion and excitement I had never had before through new ideas sparking in my mind and the transformation of my experience in life to the systematical scientific research.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">I also benefited from <i>Learned Optimism</i> in that I acquired a positive explanatory style, which help me immune from learned helpless and depression. Serving as a voluntary telephone counselor in &ldquo;Edelweiss&rdquo; mental health hotline, I endeavored to substitute clients&rsquo; negative explanatory styles for a positive way to perceive social environment and make new attributions for their success and failure. Sharing with the goal of Martin E.P. Seligman, I delivered telephone counseling with the hope of taking off clients grey glasses through which they saw a negative world. It was my gratification and contentment to improve the psychological health of others and help them enjoy the happiness of life. That is also an important reason that motivates me to pursuit psychology and confirms my dedication to psychology.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left"><strong><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><i>Influence: science and practice</i></span></span></strong></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Realizing for many times I have been fallen under the influence of salesmen unconsciously and willingly, I gained great insights from this book into the psychology of compliance and persuasion. Among many influence strategies introduced by the book, I concentrated on the &ldquo;door in the face&rdquo; (DITF) technique, consulted relevant papers, and independently designed a research on the explanations and applications of DITF. In this research, I employed a consecutive dependent variable to explored whether the magnitude of the concession affect compliance, so as to verify the validation of the reciprocal concession explanation. The research also examine whether DITF apply to both request for money and request for labor. This research program was also funded by the Beijing Normal University Undergraduate Research Foundation. I was the only student in our department to receive fund from Research Foundation twice, both as the program host.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Apart from my explorations in psychology, I have an intrinsic curiosity for the world and a thirst for knowledge. When I was in high school, I bought a through ticket, with which I visited nearly all the museums in Beijing. Even the gateman was very astonished at my visiting record on the ticket. College provides me with a wide stage for my broad interests. During my freshman year, I attended as many seminars as possible in a variety of areas, as long as time allowed. Although I cannot become an expert in all the fields appealing to me, my explorations in other fields allow me to view psychology from a broader perspective, and concentrate on my specialty with a flexible mind.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">On the basis of my qualities and experiences in undergraduate study, I am passionate to devote myself in the pursuit of social psychology to become a knowledge creator and transmitter, not only accepter, to inspire others with my achievements and further our understanding of human nature. Undergraduate study is an important, but not entire step in achieving my goal, so I hope to advance my education in your esteem university.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">As a Chinese student who has inherited thousands of years&rsquo; Chinese traditional culture, I believe that I can inject fresh energy into your university by combining the eastern and western cultures in the open academic atmosphere and make contribution to the development of social psychology in China and the diversity of social psychology.</span></span></div>]]></description><category>心理学留学</category><comments>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/196/#comment</comments><wfw:comment>http://diylx.cn/</wfw:comment><wfw:commentRss>http://diylx.cn/feed.asp?cmt=196</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://diylx.cn/cmd.asp?act=tb&amp;id=196&amp;key=f1d9ac03</trackback:ping></item><item><title>教育心理学CV简历</title><author>kittyyao@027chuguo.com (Kitty)</author><link>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/195/</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:50:50 +0800</pubDate><guid>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/195/</guid><description><![CDATA[<div><b>Objective</b></div><div>To enter Ph.D studies focusing on Educational Psychology. <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><b>Education</b></div><div><b>Sep. 2004&mdash;present,&nbsp;xx University of xx</b></div><div><b>Majoring in:</b> Ideological and Political Education</div><div><b>degree</b><b>：</b>Master</div><div><b>Overall GPA: </b>3.7/4</div><div><b>Sep. 1999&mdash;Jul.2003&nbsp;xx University <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></b></div><div><b>Majoring in: </b>Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Education</div><div><b>degree</b><b>：</b>Bachelor &nbsp;</div><div><b>Overall GPA:</b> 2.7/4</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><b>Professional Experience</b></div><div><b><u>Publication Experience</u></b></div><div><b>Study on Problems in Minor&rsquo;s Morals and the Establishment of Moral Educational System</b><b>,</b> xxx,&nbsp;xxx ,xx</div><div><b>Abstract:</b> It&rsquo;s very shocking that 30% minors produce such phenomena, like being tiring of study, willful, lying, timid, the violence tendency, declining scores, addicted to network and even committed a crime.

But for the science, the theory must be examined with a large of evidence&rdquo;, said by the famous psychologist Robert J. Sternberg, America. I believe that psychological theory can be proved, for the former theory research, we can prove perfect by experiment, so the argue among different psychological theory schools will become valuable. I am interest in designing experiment programme, in the laboratory, I can prove the former theory as well as my hypothesis with accurate data. From then on, I take psychology as an interest to research.</span></span></p><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">For this belief, I was accepted by Hua Zhong Normal University with excellent result to study psychology. My cognitive psychology teacher, graduated from SUNY-Stony Brook, was research on the cognitive language including bilingual, speech perception and some language memory. Moreover, she set up a group in order to enrich our knowledge. In the group, according to our interest we chose different fields of cognitive research, and we read English literature each week, and then gave perception, from which I could touch with new research of many countries. In addition, my teaching material of cognitive psychology, with the original English edition, was written by the famous psychologist, Robert J. Sternberg. We took bilingual teaching, and the final exam was in the form of English, I ranked the first with 90 score.&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">In March, 2006, I had a chance to participate in the lecture and research communication of the language cognitive psychologist, Arthur Samuel, came from SUNY-Stony Brook. In the activity, the speech perception was mentioned. It referred to that listeners were exposed to a speaker whose pronunciation of a particular sound (either /s/ of /sh/) is ambiguous. And then test the participants for perceptual learning on two continua that range from /s/ to /sh/. I put forward a point about difference between single word and <strong>two-words</strong>in Chinese language. If we changed the mandarin initials or mandarin vowels of the first word and the second word, it would lead to a different result of perceptual learning. But the other way was to translate Chinese into English and to find the different perceptual learning between Chinese and English. Compared with this way, I thought that it was worthy of doing my research.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">During June, I programmed an experiment of long-term Cross-Language Repetition Priming in Conceptual Implicit Memory Tasks of the less proficient Chinese-English bilinguals. On the basis of the research of Professor Ren&eacute; Zeelenberg, from Indiana University Bloomington, I designed four experiments with C language in the same &ndash;language condition and cross-language condition. I used the task of lexical level or semantic level in study phase, finally, observing whether it had influence to performance of the lexical level task.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Last year, as a RA of language cognitive laboratory in the college of psychology, I made use of software of Gold Wave to compile stimulate voice for the experiment of speech signal processing, and designed experiment material for idiom tune perception of mandarin and Wuhan dialect. I also took part in record and pre-trial of other language perception experiments, which could make me understand that cognitive psychology was strict to experiment control. Therefore, if we would like to become a psychologist we must have earnest and conscientious and careful spirit to work.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">As well as I known, America is the most developed country in psychology. Compared with the research, we can find that the level of cognitive psychology at home is lower. So I hope that I would like to go America to study PH.D in order to enrich my special knowledge and research the mechanism of language we have got and help them to gain the second language, which make Chinese people study English easily. If we would like to solve some problems about language, we need contact with computer and communication to research voice intelligence and learn the religious attitude to academy.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">In my option, we can understand the character and discipline of psychological phenomenon and explain interior activity in terms of language research. If we can correct express and accept language, it will be important for practice activity in society, especially intelligence development for children. I am full of hope to cognitive language in the future. For dependable, inflexible and independent thinking, I believe that I can gain the achievement with my hard study and research. &nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><b>后期文案翻译要求：</b></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><b>&nbsp;</b></span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small"><span style="font-family: 宋体"><b>语言上要朴实中带华丽，注意长短句的搭配，文章的流畅,语言的连贯,内容前后句的衔接，翻译的文书要突出专业的背景，涉及到专业实验的部分，学生本人会提供相关的信息作为参考。</b></span></span></div>]]></description><category>心理学留学</category><comments>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/193/#comment</comments><wfw:comment>http://diylx.cn/</wfw:comment><wfw:commentRss>http://diylx.cn/feed.asp?cmt=193</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://diylx.cn/cmd.asp?act=tb&amp;id=193&amp;key=0a1bfd7e</trackback:ping></item><item><title>心理学专业RL教授推荐信三</title><author>lynn.han1021@gmail.com (Lynn)</author><link>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/191/</link><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:07:46 +0800</pubDate><guid>http://diylx.cn/cat_22/191/</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p><p><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Dear professor:</span></span></p><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">It is a privilege for me to recommend Miss xxx a talented and resourceful individual for admission into your program of Psychology at your renowned university.</span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">I met her when she applied the undergraduate research funds during her sophomore time. Her strong curiosity and fine intelligence in psychology and her independent research ability have left me deep impression. Her research of research on <i>online advertising placement and its effects on web advertisement recognition </i>is an interesting one. With the intelligent and artifice invention, the design is interesting and cooperates with the practice well. After reading her research proposal, I willing accepted to instruct her to do the research. With the financial aid of the undergraduate research funds, the research has continued very well. I&rsquo;d like to say it is very difficult for an undergraduate student to gain the undergraduate research funds successfully. However, with the outstanding research ability and solid academic background, she got it sucessfuly.</span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">As the group leader of the whole research team,she is responsible and always organized the other members to discuss how to improve the temperature design. After the discussion of the design project modification and testing much experiment, they gave a careful plan with the whole research before the formal work. During the whole research period, she cooperates with the classmates well. At the same time, she read lots of relative papers and always had some discussion with me and I am satisfied that she always has her own thought. I believe with the strong academic background and the intensive spirit she will get final success in the research. Most importantly, it will benefit her in the future research a lot. This year,she get the undergraduate research funds twice, I am very gratified, and she is the first undergraduate student in the history of Beijing Normal University, who got the funds to do research twice.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">She also gives me an impression of she don&rsquo;t satisfy the current achievements and like to exceed herself.

From teaching her 普通心理学to 人格心理学 and 心理学研究新进展, I have known this girl for three years. She truly loves psychology that gives me a deep impression. Because she just stepped into the university, she, studying science in high school, could not adapt the study style of Psychology. As a result, her score of 普通心理学 was not very good. But she tried her best to catch up. In every class, she always sat in front, and usually contacted to me after class or by email. When she was a sophomore, she had a great progress, and awarded the scholarship for several times. Besides, she also published papers on personality, evolution in the field of Psychology. All of these let me learn her strong scientific research ability.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman">Moreover, she also possesses good communicative ability which is all displayed in the class.
