期盼了好久好久，現在終於輪到我要踏上這一條留學之路了，希望大家都能圓夢成功！
我個人認為申請的關鍵有四點
1. 在好的學校拿到高GPA
2. 聯絡到研究方向類似的老師
3. 推薦者有名或與該校老師有私交
4. Publication (Master student)
好的GPA要靠自己持之以恆的努力，不能有任何鬆懈，要堅持到拿好最後一個學分為止。
多少個苦讀的夜晚，把自己留在自習室跟書海為伍，拒絕其他的誘惑，就是為了這個
出國的夢想，拿到錄取信的那一刻，我感覺一切都值得了。
大學生只要成績好就行了，不用有paper也沒關係。但是碩士生就要顯示出自己在這幾年
作出了什麼成果，才有說服力。
推薦信相當相當重要，請找熟識自己的老師寫，如果是很有名的老師就更好了。
如果推薦者有熟人在該系所，那會大大地有幫助！
在申請階段，應該GPA跟Publication都已經底定了，剩下能做的就是去聯絡有興趣的教授
，如果研究主題真的很契合，就應該多寄幾封信，表達出強烈的欲望，這樣他拿出資料
來看的機率就比較高，上榜的機率也就提高了。如果某校老師們都不回信，或是沒有很
正面的回應，建議就可以好好思考是不是要申請該校了。我在申請前花了很多功夫在看
各校的研究領域，寫信聯繫有興趣的教授，即使只有1/3的人會回應，也足夠作為參考了。
Toefl跟GRE需要長時間的準備，堅持下去就對了！
SOP往往要修改多次才能達意，建議多跟同學或老師請教。
最後要感謝一路上曾幫助我的所有人，尤其是不離不棄的小猿，謝謝妳。
祝大家都能順利達成自己的夢想。
