Psychological Construction

1. 2 letters of recommendation are required, and more than 2 teachers must be contacted

2. The teachers contacted must have had previous contact

p>

3. No reply from the teacher for half a day/one day = reject the email subject

The secret to the email subject is: get straight to the point!

Recommendation letter requesting xx level xx major name - proposed to apply for name professor xx major to study for master's and doctoral degree

Keep the content in brackets, and modify other content according to your situation

< p>Attention! Don’t write your email address until the last minute to send the draft, in case your hand slips and the draft is sent!

Letter format and greetings

The standard format looks formal and polite. Now that you are applying for a PhD, the email format requirements will naturally be higher.

There is no need to say too much, and then carry out (brief) personal information + the purpose of writing the email.

It would be better if there is one): to help with memory

There are only a few working days from sending notification to receiving materials for domestic bachelor's and master's degree programs. The most important thing is to be quick and accurate when sending emails. Try your best. Send it to teachers you have contact with.

Tell me about when you had contact, especially what the teacher said at the time and what help he gave you. This will make it easier for the teacher to think of you immediately.

“Oh~it’s Lu Youyou~”

Introduce the basic situation point by point

Here we need to respond to the hard requirements for master’s and doctoral studies: pass the ideological and political examination , grades up to standard, instructor’s consent, and scientific research ability.

In this way, the teacher will know that there is no risk in recommending you, and the recommended person has met the standards, so the recommendation is not in vain.

Attachments

According to other teachers’ suggestions, attachments are definitely needed!

Attachment 1: Academic resume

Attachment 2: Personal statement or direct PhD application form

Express gratitude again + signature file

Gifts It’s not surprising that teachers usually have a hard time rejecting a junior who they have had contact with and is sincere and polite~

You can attach your mobile phone number, WeChat ID, and an alternate email address to the signature file.

Sending an email and adding WeChat at the same time

Some students may be afraid that adding WeChat directly is a bit abrupt, and a little presumption is inevitable when time is urgent. :

1. If the teacher replies directly via email and thinks there is no need to add WeChat, the application will not be approved;

2. Some teachers will approve your application directly if they are willing to write a letter of recommendation. WeChat allows you to send the first draft of the recommendation letter;

3. If a WeChat request + an email request are sent, and both contact methods fail, then it can be considered a rejection

4 , Adding friends on WeChat is also a way to remind~

I wish all the friends who apply all the best!
