Dear Prospective Stuent,

you shoul know that emails such as yours are much iscourage. At almost all universities,they reuce your chances of amission.

You must unerstan that I get about 12 emails from prospective stuents EVERY DAY. That is over 4000 emails per year,which is highly annoying. This is far worse than all the other spam mail I get,trying to sell me creit cars,mortgages,water filters,long istance telephone service,an life insurance.

It turns out that most of these stuents sen the same email to multiple professors at the same university,telling each of them that "their research interest match". If you are sening this to more than one professor,it is obviously a lie. An a lie that is very easy to catch on our en. An if we catch someone not telling the truth,o you think we woul amit him or her to our university?

Also,you shoul never sen email to a professor until you have alreay applie an pai the amission fee. Sening email to anyone before that point is offensive - the university might get the iea that you are trying to avoi the fee.

Please tell all your friens that they shoul NOT sen email to professors unless they have foun the ONE to maximum of THREE professor in the whole U.S. who is the absolutely best fit - an then sen email only to that one two or three professors. It is a nonsense sening these emails,an a myth that they increase your chances of amission. In reality,they REDUCE your chances of amission at many universities.

At all goo universities,amission is one by a committee. The committee collects information,among this is a list of all the stuents that iniviual professors have been communicating with. There is no iniviual professor who can amit or reject a stuent - but if the same stuent appears on the list of many professors,that is a goo inication for rejection.

You shoul stop ruining your career,if it isn't alreay too late.

Sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Michael

總結：

1）教授平均每天收到12封套磁信，一年4000多封，這比垃圾郵件還垃圾，煩！

2）套磁可以，但不要漫無目的亂套，確定好1-3個教授套就可以

3）同一個系甚至同一所學校只能套一個教授，多套露餡就是等于rejection

4）交了申請費再套
