After the results of the preliminary test are announced, many students will enter the process of contacting their tutors. I often receive emails from some tutors. Some words are clear at a glance, others are not so clear. Today, let's analyze the meaning of these replies.

1. Tutor: Welcome to apply for my postgraduate degree. Please attend the preparation for the second interview.

True meaning: there is no need to over-interpret it, and there is no other meaning. I just want to express that there is no shortage of students this year. There are many applicants, and competition is welcome. The good news is that you can apply for the exam, but you need to see the second interview. At this time, in the process of actual preparation, you can check the research direction of the tutor more so as to leave a deeper impression in the second interview.

2. Tutor: I gave you a long reply, and also offered to call you, add contact information, or find you for an interview.

Meaning: Obviously, congratulations, the tutor has found the right student. As long as the second interview goes well, it's generally no problem.

3. Tutor: I did well in the exam. Get ready for the second interview.

True meaning: This is a good signal. First of all, say yes. More importantly, it depends on the second interview. But at least, it will enter the memory of the mentor.

4. Tutor: Thank you for your interest in my research field and research, but I am short of places this year. Please prepare for a second interview.

True meaning: if your initial test results are really good, don't think too much, just literally prepare for the second test; If not, please think carefully. Mentor may mean that competitiveness is average, and there are not many reasons to choose.

5. Tutor: Sorry, I have no quota this year. Please contact other teachers.

It's really a good thing to meet a teacher who responded like this. Only when you refuse decisively can you make other choices.

Of course, there will be some tutors who haven't replied for a long time. Generally, it is normal to reply within two days. If you don't get a reply for a long time, students can consider contacting the next tutor.

In addition, in the information sent, we must reflect our own advantages, but we must pay attention to it, never exaggerate or brag, and be pragmatic, otherwise it will be easy to "lay a mine" for ourselves in the second interview.

Finally, I wish you all the candidates. As long as there is an opportunity, we should try bravely and seize it firmly. All opportunities are reserved for those who are fully prepared.
