Determine the school: begin to prepare for the application, preliminarily study the majors and schools, and determine the school for doctoral application according to geographical location, comprehensive ranking, tuition fees, employment situation of graduates, school majors and other factors. Choosing a tutor: the research direction of a tutor can be seen from the introduction, research topics and current research projects. Doctoral tutors pay more attention to matching, so finding a tutor with the same direction is the key point, and the consistency of direction > personal interest. Participate in scientific research projects: when applying for a doctorate, the tutor is more willing to recruit students with relevant scientific research experience. For example, take part in summer research projects or internships, and publish papers. Scientific research experience can be displayed on CV through papers or project experiences. Find referees: Generally, a doctoral application in the United States requires three referees, preferably a letter of recommendation from an academic expert. Initial contact can be made at this stage. Preparation of application materials: Many schools will announce the application requirements in August. Generally speaking, they need to prepare: personal statement, three letters of recommendation, academic resume, writing samples, PS/SOP, papers, transcripts, language scores, etc. Doctors in America usually need three letters of recommendation. And it is best to have a letter of recommendation from academic experts. This is a difficult problem for many students. I suggest you prepare first. You need a letter of recommendation when you apply, which will play a very important role in whether you can be admitted! It is best to find a cattle guide in the industry, and the recommendation of well-known guides is very important. Tutor porcelain: After preparing the materials, you can contact the tutor and send your academic papers, resumes and other documents that can prove your academic ability to the tutor, so that the tutor can know your wishes. Remember not to communicate with many professors in the same college at the same time, because they may be related to each other and feel that your research direction is uncertain and has side effects. Interview: Prepare answers to basic questions, such as questions about background and professional experience, questions about future study, research and career planning, and questions about choosing a school. And be clear about your research experience and the thesis of the target tutor. The above is a detailed introduction to the application for doctoral degree in the United States.
