Admission: ChE at Virginia Tech with TA ($22,128 per year) and Graduate Tuition Scholarship (免學費、免out-of-state fee的意思) P.S.找到指導教授就轉RA，沒有的話，成績有3.0還是可以拿TA。 Rejection: 六間 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 (另外三間TOEFL都沒過，都是MSE，中的機率比中樂透低就不提了= =|||) P.S. 我有請在Akron念Polymer Science的學長幫我打聽申請的情況，系辦秘書說他們已經 開始發第二輪offer了(二月就有發給一些大陸人了)，所以現在沒有的話大概凶多吉 少了T.T Decision: 99%選VT，下禮拜一就會給VT回覆了。 (請問有在VT唸化工或化學的學長姐嗎?可否跟我聯絡，有些事情想請教一下， 謝謝。或是對Nanobubbles這個領域熟的學長姐也可以跟我聯絡，謝謝) 因為我只有中VT 以下針對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高分子研討會海報一張 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 (都是些小獎學金，寫出來撐Resume版面= =|||) Recommendation: 一封是專題老師，一封是修課(主科+研究所硬課)很高分的老師，這兩位老師都是做高分子 物理的。第三封就是請現在的老闆。 心得: 選校: 我是分排名1-10、10-20、30-50這三個區塊各選一些學校丟，不過我1-10的學校丟比較 多。然後因為那時候想做高分子物理方面的研究，有請教兩位幫我寫推薦信的老師。 其實高分子強的學校大概就是UMass, Akron, MIT, UMN, CWRU這幾間。 TOEFL/GRE: 考的不是很好，我大多也是看Verbal版跟iBT版準備的，想準備考試的可以多去這兩版逛逛 SOP/Resume: VT的化工沒有要求要SOP，但是有要回答一些問題(有限回答字數)，這些問題基本上一般 SOP都會提到，大概就類似問什麼long-term goal之類的問題。 Resume的部分跟我上面分享的background的大同小異。 P.S.其實應該剛申請完的時候就分享的，現在滿腦子都在想找指導教授跟資格考的事， 對之前申請的事已經忘的差不多了，有問題的可以寫信問我。 --
