那我也來貢獻一下去年美國教授們的回信印象最深的是這兩封因為這兩封信看來最不像罐頭信先說結論：要是收到超級熱情的回信，請一定要好好把握因為大魚上鉤了首先是這封 Dear audition, Thank you for writing me about your interest in the PhD program in sociology at the XXX University. And thanks also for your kind words about The Cultures of Cities. In our department, the professors do not accept students independently of the admissions procedure of the department. You should look at the courses that we give in the sociology program and decide if you want to study sociology here. You can probably transfer some or all of your MA credits, but you may have to pass our exam in social theory, take a statistics course, and pass the qualifying oral exam in three fields of sociology that you have mastered. Your urban research is very interesting, and we may well have an opportunity to work together. But you must apply to the sociology department, and I am not a member of the admissions committee. Make sure your personal statement is strong, and you explain both the work that you have done and your professional goals. You can mention me or any other professors whom you hope to work with. I hope you have good GRE or TOFL scores, and I wish you the best of luck. If you have any questions about the admissions procedure or the department, please write to the chairman, Professor XXXX 這封信回信算很熱情了第一段介紹了自己系的program 第二段回應了我的研究興趣甚至都說了we may well have an opportunity to work together 最後我沒上 :~~~ 再來是這封 Dear audition, Thank you for writing. Your research interests would be a good match with mine. Last year I published a book entitled Cultural Heritage and the Challenge of Sustainability, the result of seven years research and which took a global perspective. Now I have started a large project on the problems of industrial heritage conservation, which focuses on the interactions among local and national governments, private interests, and local communities. I will say, frankly, that the association you mention between urban preservation and gentrification has been discussed for quite sometime. But scholars would very much like to know more about preservation in Taiwan (esp. since the field has been dominated by work on Europe and North America). There's also work that needs to be done on the reasons why communities and governments support some preservation projects, but not others. Your topic on museums and cultural identities is also very promising. Our program accepts graduate students annually. You should request materials from Mrs. XXX, our Graduate Coordinator. Specific questions about the program can be addressed to our Graduate Director, Professor XXXX, who will also note your existing fellowship of 3 years. I am copying them both on this response, so you have their addresses. I wish you good luck with your application. 這封信簡直熱情到極點不但直接說我們興趣相同還自己說自己去年出什麼書、未來要作什麼研究順著我原本的研究興趣還表示了她的看法第三段她叫我有任何問題可以連絡系上的coordinator甚至是director (後來她索性還自己就主動把我的信轉給director了) 這間學校後來我托福沒到標準也還是錄取個人覺得要是真的遇到這種熱情到不行的回信一定要好好把握因為真的機會很高啊最後祝大家都能申請到學校加油 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 169.233.203.166 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/studyabroad/M.1416988439.A.BF1.html ※ 編輯: audition (169.233.203.166), 11/26/2014 15:57:05

因為第三段她說雖然你的研究問題其實有人在做了但畢竟這個領域主導的都是歐美學界，大家會想聽聽看台灣的case 因此第二封信裡我就打蛇隨棍上寫了一些怎樣藉由都市工業遺址保存但實際上是在搞都市更新的案子分析了一些台灣的都市社會運動跟草根社區的文化發展的影響也順便說了將來我想做的台灣與日本的比較研究另外，因為director也有寫信來我就問了一些關於系上審查入學許可的標準所以才會知道我托福沒到標準(他們沒把托福門檻放在網站上....)
