First, the number of words and key points of magnetic letters
1, magnetic word
Most magnetic traps are sent by mail, because our geographical location does not allow us to go to the magnetic trap to meet our teachers. But it's best not to exceed 200 words at a time. Although there are not too many restrictions on content and style, you must not rush others or disturb them too much. Just express the meaning of the sentence clearly.
2. Focus of discussion
In the set of magnetic letters, the subject foundation and research level are the focus of discussion, such as my IELTS or TOEFL score, GMAT or GRE score, etc. You can talk to the professor, but it is not the main object of discussion.
3, mass mail
Students are advised not to send a letter to multiple professors. Every professor's situation is different, and the scheme that needs to write a recommendation letter will also need to be changed. If professors talk about receiving the same set of magnetic letters, they will feel bad. I suggest you wait patiently. Usually there will be a reply in a week or so. If the professor is on vacation, don't send several letters at once, you need to wait patiently, and at most two letters will do.
Second, how to write the text of the magnetic letter
1. Attach your resume or a detailed introduction of your current research.
The first letter should be as concise as possible. The text should briefly introduce yourself and describe your name, education, research direction, academic achievements and language achievements in two or three sentences. Your resume should be attached to the email.
2. Discuss professional issues with professors and show their academic accumulation.
For students who apply for doctoral studies, your professor is your boss, and doctoral students work for the boss most of the time. The professor has the power to kill and seize. For most schools, as long as professors are admitted by name, and your hardware conditions are not too bad, the admissions Committee will generally not refuse.
The function of magnetic communication is to promote conscious academic communication between professors and students. Therefore, you should show your enthusiasm for your research content, the achievements and experience of past research, and the relationship and mutual promotion between your research and professor's research.
Be sure to check carefully, and don't make obvious spelling mistakes or word mistakes.
Magnetization is just like your personal statement. Your contact letter should be targeted and personalized. By contacting professors and classmates and consulting the chosen majors, we can screen the most suitable schools, locate the most suitable majors and directions, reduce the blindness of application, increase the accuracy of application and enhance our competitiveness. By contacting the professor, you can let him know more about your research interest and quality. If you have a clear understanding of your research interests and career goals, your questions will convey this. If you carefully consider your own needs and the plan of this school, the professor will surely realize your clear direction and think that you are more suitable for his research. And this is the key to successful magnetization.
