Admission: ChE at Virginia Tech with TA ($22,128 per year) and Graduate Tuition Scholarship (免学费、免out-of-state fee的意思) P.S.找到指导教授就转RA，没有的话，成绩有3.0还是可以拿TA。 Rejection: 六间 top10 的Materials Science and Engineering 不中很正常╮(╯_╰)╭ Pending: Polymer Science at Akron Polymer Science and Engineering at UMass Macromolecular Science and Engineering at CWRU ChE at the University at Buffalo--SUNY (另外三间TOEFL都没过，都是MSE，中的机率比中乐透低就不提了= =|||) P.S. 我有请在Akron念Polymer Science的学长帮我打听申请的情况，系办秘书说他们已经 开始发第二轮offer了(二月就有发给一些大陆人了)，所以现在没有的话大概凶多吉 少了T.T Decision: 99%选VT，下礼拜一就会给VT回覆了。 (请问有在VT念化工或化学的学长姐吗?可否跟我联络，有些事情想请教一下， 谢谢。或是对Nanobubbles这个领域熟的学长姐也可以跟我联络，谢谢) 因为我只有中VT 以下针对VT分享心得 Background: National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan Bachelor of Science, Chemical Engineering, June 2008 National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan Interdepartmental Non-degree Program, Nanotechnology Program, June 2008 GPA: Chemical Engineering: 3.75/4.00 Nanotechnology Program: 3.82/4.00 (total credits: 17 credits) Test Score: GRE: 400/770/3.5 PBT 06/2007 TOEFL iBT: R21 L27 S18 W27 total:93 Work Experiences: Institute of Chemistry, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan, July 2008 - present Research Assistant ‧Synthesized low bandgap organic semiconductors for bulk heterojunction solar cells Department of Chemical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, July 2006 - June 2008 Undergraduate Research Assistant ‧Investigated the transfer of chirality and the influences of hydrogen bonding and pi-pi interactions on self-assembled morphologies of conjugated chiral rod-coil amphiphiles through CD, UV, PL, and TEM ‧Studied the relationship between self-assembly and photophysical properties (e.g., J-aggregates and H-aggregates) ‧Analyzed the liquid crystalline behavior via DSC and POM Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu, Taiwan, February 2005 - February 2006 Experimental Assistant, Material Research Laboratories (part-time job) ‧Assisted in the fabrication and characterization of Li-ion coin cells, slim lithium cells and 18650 cells for improving the development of electric vehicles - Material Research Laboratories and Chemical Research Laboratories were combined to form Material and Chemical Research Laboratories in 2006. Publications: None Presentations: 2008高分子研讨会海报一张 Honors/Awards: Research Awards ‧College Student Research Creativity Award, National Science Council, 2008 - Creative Research for “Luminescent Behavior in the Self-Assembly of Chiral Rod-Coil Amphiphiles” - Only 100 award recipients each year from Taiwan Academic Society - National Science Council in Taiwan is analogous to the National Science Foundation in the US. ‧College Student Research Scholarship, National Science Council, July 2007 - February 2008 Academic Awards ‧Scholarship for Sons or Daughters of the Members of Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, 2004 - 2008 (every semester) ‧Mr. Hsu, Tsung-Su Scholarship, 2006 ‧Shin Kong Life Scholarship, 2005 (都是些小奖学金，写出来撑Resume版面= =|||) Recommendation: 一封是专题老师，一封是修课(主科+研究所硬课)很高分的老师，这两位老师都是做高分子 物理的。第三封就是请现在的老板。 心得: 选校: 我是分排名1-10、10-20、30-50这三个区块各选一些学校丢，不过我1-10的学校丢比较 多。然後因为那时候想做高分子物理方面的研究，有请教两位帮我写推荐信的老师。 其实高分子强的学校大概就是UMass, Akron, MIT, UMN, CWRU这几间。 TOEFL/GRE: 考的不是很好，我大多也是看Verbal版跟iBT版准备的，想准备考试的可以多去这两版逛逛 SOP/Resume: VT的化工没有要求要SOP，但是有要回答一些问题(有限回答字数)，这些问题基本上一般 SOP都会提到，大概就类似问什麽long-term goal之类的问题。 Resume的部分跟我上面分享的background的大同小异。 P.S.其实应该刚申请完的时候就分享的，现在满脑子都在想找指导教授跟资格考的事， 对之前申请的事已经忘的差不多了，有问题的可以写信问我。 --
