申硕,OSU的一个中国assosiate professor,套磁被反套,九月份在国际会议上面套聊得不错,说过“我会给你争取RA的,如果你有更好的offer了记得早点告诉我”。听学长说这个教授这几年一直都在很积极地招学生。
他们家11.30DDL,文书要求很不一ma样fan,要research statement,于是我就问了他的研究兴趣,选了一样深入地写了两三页交上去,谈了很多自己的想法,发给他看,他说很不错。
结果12.15一过他给我发了个邮件,大意是看文章(非我选的研究兴趣,是他研究生起就在做的主题)给report形式的回答,以评判学术能力,说是自愿。
关键我不想写,我觉得这个学校太折腾了,report形式的研究主题并不是特别喜欢,而且现在还没开始审材料就这么push了这……
但是如果回他说,“我太忙没时间写,麻烦你继续考虑我”,也很假,多半就没戏了,前面的付出付之东流也很可惜……
