Dear Micheal, <br>
I read your statement again during the weekend . <br>
It is clearly that there is a cultural differences here. In <br>
the US, the criteria to admit a student primarily rests on <br>
merits (connection may count in some private elitist schools <br>
where that the parents being an alumni will or a big contributor <br>
add points). Especially in public university, the admission <br>
process is very transparent and conducted in a committee. When <br>
I was at Berkeley, I ran for one of the two student representatives <br>
to the doctoral admission committee.I read admission files with my <br>
other 5 faculty members. During the three rounds of discussion, I <br>
had one vote just like each of my professors. We admitted the students <br>
purely based on merits. There was a separately financial support <br>
committee composing with faculty and students who do not need <br>
financial aids (for fear of conflict of interests). <br>
<br>
We developed a table by GRE, TOFEL, SAT and GPA. It is easy to screen <br>
off about 70% of the applicants who were obviously unqualified -- low <br>
scores, lack of supporting documents, incomplete forms, major errors, <br>
missing deadlines, etc. Then we divided the remaining 30% into three <br>
groups -- must accept (students we love to get when they may go to <br>
other better schools), should accept (those who are good enough), and <br>
the marginal case (usually we put them on waiting list). Doctoral <br>
admission also relies on another important factor -- whether there is a <br>
professor in the department who has common research interest to take <br>
care of the applicant for the next 5 years. This is not very important <br>
for a master applicant because most master programs are fairly <br>
standardized. <br>
<br>
So, with a reasonably good TOFEL and GRE score, how can you market yourself <br>
better? Your academic training, your academic interest, your <br>
future career or scholastic plan, and your dedication are the stuff the <br>
admission committee will examine. Letters of reference are very <br>
important but you don't have that advantage because unless you are <br>
applying to a school where your professor at *** graduated (or your <br>
professor is known in the field worldwide); otherwise, these letters from <br>
China (sometimes with translation) will not help too much. Of <br>
course, you must make sure none of these letters hurt you. Then what <br>
makes you different from other applicants and deserving a fellowship? <br>
Some work sample, prior studies, project reports will give the committee <br>
a chance to gauge your level of competence. So only send stuff <br>
that is good -- it is tough because of the translation requirement. <br>
Life is full of constraints and opportunities. So you try your best and <br>
hope of the best. When opportunities present to you, seize them. <br>
Your score is good enough to get to most schools (don't worry about the <br>
verbal part of the GRE -- which you are very good as a non-English <br>
speaker and your TOFEL is OK because it is above 600. You will be <br>
accepted by some schools but then what? <br>
You have several options: <br>
a. get to the cheapest and most affordable place that accepts you -- <br>
it may be in a remote, isolated place. But if you are lucky, you <br>
study a subject you like in a program that is solid. <br>
b. get to a good university but financially you are bit vulnerable -- <br>
you may be in the field you like or not. <br>
Here good university means the fame of the whole university -- <br>
not the standardof the department. You should do some research about <br>
the reputation by department in the fields you applied for. The fame of <br>
the whole university is more relevant for undergraduates. For graduate <br>
schools, the department's reputation counts more because of the network <br>
of professors in that field. For example, computer science at Penn <br>
is lousy but its MBA is the best in the world (better than Harvard and <br>
Yale). Also my previous university FIU is lousy but its <br>
hopitality/sea cruise program is one of the best two in the country <br>
(the other one in Las Vegas). It is about the niche. <br>
All this related back to your goals. It seems to me that you just <br>
want to studyin the US regardless interest. If you show such desperation <br>
in your application, it may raise a red flag. Committees want to accept <br>
good students in terms of academic potential. So try your best to <br>
hide that motivation. Since it is a practical concern to you, you may like <br>
to go for option a. as defined above. Use the 2 years as a time <br>
to get adjusted, obtain a very high GPA, complete one or two excellent <br>
term papers. You should know the niche of graduate schools in your <br>
field, so you may consider transfer in the second year, or get another <br>
master degrees or a doctoral. Also develop your connection and <br>
identify your true academic interest in those two years. Make sure that <br>
when you applied for Ph.D. or for a job, you have 2 to 3 American <br>
professors who are fully supportive. <br>
Given your ability, you would like the US because this is a place that <br>
appreciates handwork and individual merit. It is a country full of <br>
opportunities. Guanxi helps but not a factor that limit you. However, <br>
you must be very independent and always lonely in mastering your <br>
future and taking your responsibilities. <br>
Another matter is about the long-term career future. Computer, IT & <br>
biotech will be the future of the world just like electricity, <br>
telephone, telegram around the turn of the 20th century. Despite the <br>
setback of the high-tech industries (dot.com, etc.) in the past 10 <br>
months, these field have lot of future. However what I saw in the past <br>
decade was that most Asian students came and stayed in engineering <br>
and then computer; then make a good living. Few of them were <br>
entrepreneurial enough to have their own companies. Most of them lived in an <br>
<br>
isolated social and cultural setting that they did not fully integrate into <br>
the US mainstream. The main reason is that they lack the <br>
language skill, so they could not get to marketing or key positions which \ <br>
require bargaining, negotiation, and management skill -- all in <br>
English. It is clear that when they were studying here, they did not use Eng <br>
<br>
lish <br>
. They found a place to excel in their technical and <br>
mathematical expressions. This specialization hurts them in the long-term, <br>
so some of them returned to Taiwan and Korea. Some try to work <br>
in import and export trade between Asian and the US. Some worked for Dell, I <br>
<br>
BM,Microsoft but worked in China. I just let you know you can <br>
choose if you prepare yourselves early enough. It is up to you to pick the <br>
best path for you.You will be on your own most time but I am happy to <br>

对潇潇、暮雨洒江天，一番洗清秋。渐霜风凄惨，关河冷落，残照当楼。 <br>
是处红衰翠减，苒苒物华休。惟有长江水，无语东流。 <br>
<br>
不忍登高临远，望故乡渺邈，归思难收。叹年来踪迹，何事苦淹留。 <br>
想佳人、妆楼顒望，误几回、天际识归舟。争知我、倚阑干处，正恁凝愁。 <br>
