　　(1)婉拒型

　　Mr. X: I am impressed with your motivation and excellent writing in English. You have also done interesting research projects as an undergraduate student. However, the competition for admission to our graduate program is very keen, especially for international students. Many candidates score higher in GRE and have already published as the first author in international journals. You may apply to our graduate program, but nothing can be guaranteed for admission. Thanks for your interest in us.

　　遇到这种情况，我觉得你就要意识到这个学校其实已经超过你的能力范围了。

　　(2)模棱两可型

　　Hi XX,

　　Thank you for your interest. I&aposm not sure if I will take students this fall or not. I cannot say what your chances for admission are since we are unsure who else will apply this year and how many positions we will have.

　　Thank you for your application.

　　这其实是最多的一种回复。这种回复基本会出现在你重点冲刺的list里面。遇到这种情况，你要权衡下是否要申请这所。

　　(3)貌似鼓励型

　　XX

　　Thank you very much for contacting me. I am planning on taking one or two students in Fall 2011. I encourage you to apply for our program.

　　注意措辞，是apply for our program而不是my lab。他可能给每一个发信的或者是基本符合要求的学生都这样回复。所以，碰到鼓励申请的并不代表你就有较大的可能性被录取。

　　(4)no opening型

　　Thank you for your interest in my research group. Unfortunately I don’t have any open positions right now.

　　这种其实很好。导师言简意赅，就是不招生，你也可以死了这条心。

　　(5)妈呀型

　　在紧张的申请过程中，你可能觉得很焦躁，未来很灰暗。要是这个时候忽然来了这样的一封信，那绝对让你激动的想喊娘。为了鼓励大家，我特意多罗列了几个例子。

　　Model 1：

　　Dear XX, you are with very appropriate background and interests. I greatly appreciate your interest and sending such detailed information.

　　I would like to schedule a phone conversation with you if possible later next week and discuss your application and interests further.

　　Looking forward to our further communication

　　Best regards

　　赶紧看他的paper，准备面试吧。

　　Model 2:

　　Dear Mr X; I am very sorry I did not reply to you earlier but I have been travelling and very busy with some deadlines. Thank you for your interest in my laboratory an my research on XXXXXXXXXX. Your background is very suitable for this project and I am interested in discussing the possibility of you doing a Ph.D in my lab. Perhaps you could give me a telephone number and time when we could discuss this? I am travelling next week form Tuesday until Thursday but am free most other times. Looking forward to talking to you.

　　这封信是我永远的痛。此处略去一万字。

　　Model 3：

　　Hi XX,

　　Thanks for your email and your interest to pursue your education in XXXX. From your letter and your CV, you are certainly qualified. Let me know if need any specific help from me.

　　Best

　　导师表示愿意进一步帮助你的申请，下面就看你自己了。

　　Model 4：

　　Dear XX,

　　Sorry for not replying earlier. Your email has actually gone into my spam folder. If you have an official China email address you should use it to communicate with me.

　　I would be keen to consider you for the project. I would like to have a copy of your CV and you should indicate your area of technical expertise, in particular I would like to know your experience and knowledge in the field of XXX research. If you have technical experience in XXX it would be great.

　　If you are keen to read up on the current research on this area, I would be able to send you a section of the thesis of my PhD student.

　　Regards

　　按照导师的要求，发给他他想要的材料。

　　Model 5：

　　Hi X

　　Thank you for your mail. I have one project available which involves the XXX. The project would involve molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology and structural biology and would XXXXX. If you are interested in this type of research, please let me know and we can investigate the possibility of a studentship in XXX.

　　Regards

　　考虑下你的志愿，给导师一个回复。

　　Model 6：

　　Mr. X,

　　Thank you for making an fort to write a comprehensive letter stating your objectives and prior experience. If you will, I do not have a problem of being your supervisor. We could discuss the project in more details and see whether by that time there will be an opening in the lab for you.

　　BTW, I met your supervisor and sent him some of our transgenics within a framework of collaboration.

　　Best

　　注意，导师说他做你的supervisor没有问题。问题是你是否能先被admitted。这很可能说明在录取这件事上他无能为力。

　　Model 7：

　　Dear XX:

　　Your experience is dinitely suitable to study in my lab. As I indicated earlier, I will be happy to take you if you can get any type of scholarship. If you have good TOEFL and GRE score, I can try to push you for the Aug-2010 intake.

　　注意，push这个词很有用。说明导师能在review的时候能说上话。但前提是你自己要给力。

　　Model 8：

　　Hi X,

　　Sorry for the tardiness in responding. I would be happy to discuss with you. XX can make the arrangements. Can you check on your eligibility?

　　Regards,

　　等待小蜜给你安排面试就好。

　　以上的范例都出自我的申请。代表性有限，大家自行斟酌。要说的只有一点。不要以为有了这样一封看似积极的回复就万事大吉。事实上，这只是万里长征的第一步。我收到的态度比较明朗的回复其实比上面的还多，而实际上这么多的套磁信只有一封转化成了真正的offer。其中还有很惨痛的教训。
