由此可以看出,只有非常有特点的人才能脱颖而出.

比如GPA 3.8,3.9就不用特别怎么强调了,如果是4.0或者3.99之类的就可以特别强调一下,还是满有用的.

而且,百分制和ABCD制,内部都会重新计算过的,浙大的算法不算其他学校也应该差不多,之前说的那个牛人,GPA3.99 (ABCD制,不是浙大的ws算法)他的简历就一页不到,就写个GPA, 然后一篇顶级刊物的第一作者的论文,然后加上个RANK,就好了.其他什么都不写.写多了反而会让优势不那么明显.

所以写简历的时候,凸显优势,回避劣势最好.

比如第三年成绩低,千万就别写了.更不要去解释,如果GPA低就别在简历上写GPA,如果出去交流的成绩不如浙大的,那就千万别写,否则别人觉得你不适应英语环境等等.

推荐信极其有用.

推荐信极其有用.

接下来,我贴一些经过第一批筛选后,第二批选人的list.大家观察哪种有效:

1) XXX:OFFERED.

Interested in compiler and programming languages. Good recommendation from Doug Burger and Stephen Keckler.

2) XXX:OFFERED.

PhD applicant from Stanford. GPA of 3.89. Interested in programming languages, functional programming and compilers. Two recommendations from his internships. Internships were not compiler/architecture relevant but recommend er indicate that he can deliver the assigned tasks at the end of the day.

3) XXX: OFFERED.

6) XXX:

PhD candidate from Bangeladesh university of Engineering and Technology. GPA of 3.99. Interested in both architecture-compiler and database systems. Recommenders mostly from courses he has taken in AI and database, solid course work though.

7) XXX:OFFERED.

Master's project published in MICRO. Interested in computer architecture.

10) XXX:

PhD candidate from U. Bucharest in Romania. GPA 9.26/10. Worked on solving linear recurrences using GPUs at U. Singapore. Worked on network infrastructure and networked programs. Interested in parallel computing.

11) XXX:

PhD candidate from Bangladesh U. of Engr. Tech. GPA 3.96/4. A lot of participation in extracurricular programming activities, contests, etc.

Currently a lecturer at his university. Interested in power management and run-time optimization.

12) XXX:

PhD candidate from IIT Madras. GPA 9.75/10. Worked on TCP flow control at Cornell. Worked on HW transactional memory support. Interested in computer architecture.

这些名单是经过教授的手下整理过的.

这些都是有效信息.名字我都删除了,后面有写offer的是说明给AD了,没的就说明第二轮被刷了.大家可以仔细对比啊.

所有的申请材料就剩下这些内容.

那些教授们就只看这么简单的内容,真的对你感兴趣,可能会调出你的材料看看.基本上看完这个list就决定发不发offer了.

大概主要信息就是:

毕业学校,GPA,推荐人,做过什么等等,剩下的就是学生的特点了,比如三年毕业,哪里实习过什么的.

反正自己总结吧.我就不多说了,聪明的小孩会知道材料怎么准备的啦.

不过也许信息给的太晚了
