I recommend doing a Skype call (or other VTC) with all prospective advisors and even see if you can talk separately to 1-2 of their students in a group call. You can ask for the latter and I think they’ll oblige, since you won’t be able to travel (which of course is obvious, I was just not thinking that through). It’s really important to find advisors that you will work well with, in addition to having common technical interest. Ask students what it’s like to work with them, how often do you meet, do they give specific directions or just generally mentor the projects, what are they like most / least about their work and the department, etc.

老生常谈了,我感觉有价值的是,暑研老板表示可以直接联系导师要他们学生的联系方式,并且就他自己来说,认为这种要求完全是合情合理的。
最近实践了一下,昨天还真的排到了一个可能的雷...虽然还不能确定,但立刻让我意识到了这个建议的重要性(之前我的内心还是有点犹豫的),所以今天决定分享出来回馈社会。
毕竟是五年的事情,还可能关系到终生的身心健康,挑选一个指导风格跟自己适合的导师很重要,打算读PhD的同学们在决定接哪个offer的时候一定要谨慎。

名字就不放出来了,谷歌搜“教授名字+一亩三分地”会轻易发现关于他的负面评价(我之前忘记搜了。。因为没想到地里竟然会有)
