我曾經對什麼時候要做什麼很迷惘
以下是給還沒有著手的人的建議
照著走的話時間非常充裕

因為我要偷懶 所以用了很多黑話
看不懂的話請不要害怕發問 (xD)

大二以前
    1. 確定自己初步的研究興趣
    2. 在某幾門課中給教授好印象/表現良好 [推薦信 get]
    3. 調查一下專題/實驗室的選擇
大三
    1. 跟專題/實驗室 [推薦信 get]
    2. 決定自己的研究方向
    3. 準備 GRE/sGRE
大四上
    1. 想辦法弄出研究成果 [??% publication get]
    2. 初步決定要投的四所學校 (GRE 可以免費送四所加發)
    3. 考 GRE/sGRE
    4. 考預官 (週休弄申請絕對方便很多)
大四下
    1. 想辦法弄出研究成果 [??% publication get]
    2. 考托福
    3. 詢問教授/學長姐意見 調查各學校教授頁面 決定要投哪些學校
    4. (opt) 重考 GRE/托福
  七月以前:
    1. 準備推薦信、SOP、PS、Resume、常用資料
    2. 列印英文成績單 封裝至信封內 填上各校郵寄地址
  八月
    1. 吃飯睡覺洗澡出操
  九月
    1. 吃飯睡覺洗澡出操
    2. 各學校申請系統啟動 可以申請帳號填寫表格了
    3. 提醒推薦信
    4. 郵寄成績單正本
    5. 申請 GRE 成績加發
  之後
    1. 等申請結果 (應該吧 我還沒到那時候 待補)

建議建立以下文件 在填寫表格時有可能會用到:

1. GPA [excel]
   打好公式 每年修的課填入該表後便可算出 GPA, major GPA, last 60 GPA ...etc
   因為有些學校要求你直接鍵入 100 scale 的平均 所以平均也要算

2. Courses
   打好 selected courses 的 英文課名/課本及作者/授課年份/學分/成績

3. 常用資料
   a) 英文地址
   b) international post code (就是郵遞區號)
   c) Visa type = F1 (student)
   d) 畢業高中英文名稱
   e) type of degree: 如 BS = Bachelor of Science
   f) GRE/sGRE/TOFEL
      1) registration number
      2) 各項成績及百分比
      3) Date taken
   g) 推薦人資料
      1) 姓名
      2) e-mail
      3) 單位級職
      4) (學校)地址/電話

4. 申請進度 checklist [excel]
   a) 各申請系統帳密
   b) deadline
   c) GRE/TOFEL code
   d) 申請系統/系所網址
   e) 推薦信需求
   f) essay 需求
   g) 成績單要求幾份/各申請單位地址

SOP:
範例需求

1. The Statement of Purpose should be a concise, well-written essay about
   your mathematical background, your career goals, and how Michigan's
   graduate program will help you meet your career and educational
   objectives.

2. Please describe your aptitude and motivation for graduate study in your
   area of specialization, including your preparation for this field of study,
   your academic plans or research interests in your chosen area of study, and
   your future career goals. Please be specific about why UC Berkeley would be
   a good intellectual fit for you.

3. Please explain why you are a good candidate for graduate school. You should
   describe why you wish to attend graduate school, what you would like to
   study, and any research experience you have. Describe one or more
   accomplishments you are particularly proud of that suggest that you will
   succeed in your chosen area of research.

頁數愈多愈好 最好有個 4頁以上的版本
少數學校會要求 1200 words limit 或 2 頁 再做刪改即可
---
PS (Personal Statement)
範例需求

1. This is different from the Statement of Purpose in that we ask that you
   write about things not captured by the application or the Statement of
   Purpose. Tell us about where you grew up, when you first decided you
   wanted to study mathematics, what challenges you faced and how you
   overcame them in your pursuit of mathematics

2. In an essay, discuss how your personal background informs your decision to
   pursue a graduate degree. Please include any educational, familial,
   cultural, economic, or social experiences, challenges, or opportunities
   relevant to your academic journey; how you might contribute to social or
   cultural diversity within your chosen field; and/or how you might serve
   educationally underrepresented segments of society with your degree.

3. How have your background and life experiences, including cultural,
   geographical, financial, educational or other opportunities or challenges,
   motivated your decision to pursue a graduate degree at the University of
   Michigan?

   For example, if you grew up in a community where educational, cultural, or
   other opportunities were either especially plentiful or especially lacking,
   you might discuss the impact this had on your development and interests.
   This should be a discussion of the journey that has led to your decision
   to seek a graduate degree.

   Please do not repeat your Academic Statement of Purpose.

頁數不用太多 通常會有限制 500 words 或 1 page

resume

範例要求

1. Please upload your curriculum vitae or resume that describes your
   education, work experience, research and teaching experience, professional
   affiliations, volunteer activity and community engagement, honors and
   awards.

心情好的話也可以做做看 2 頁版
不太重要就是了
