申请经验 Application Experience Sharing¶
标化成绩准备¶
整个申请过程中最大的挑战其实来自语言考试。前期我花了很多时间准备GRE，但后来发现自己的分数并不足以提升申请竞争力，于是果断放弃，把时间投入到托福备考。但真正开始认真准备托福已经到了大四上，时间比较紧张，只能集中冲刺，最终考了几次才有突破。除此之外，维持GPA也是一个持续性的挑战。有些课程因为细节失误，Coursework成绩受到影响，这让我意识到除了掌握知识，更要认真研究Marking Rubric，每一项评分标准都不能忽略。申请期间难免焦虑，但及时调整节奏、把精力放在真正重要的事情上，比一味担心更有意义。
暑研/实习建议¶
多主动探索机会，积极争取。 建议以后打算找工的大二大三同学多准备找实习，尽早积累实践经验（虽然我是找工feiwu）。
其他¶
如果未来更偏向就业，而不是继续读博，我会比较推荐UIUC的MCS项目。项目学制灵活，可以选择1.5年至2年完成，如果选择两年制，每学期只修两门课程，整体课业压力相对可控，能够留出更多时间准备实习、刷题和找工作。同时，项目还提供秋季Co-Op机会，可以积累北美本地工作经验，对于后续求职会有一定帮助。再加上UIUC本身计算机专业实力很强，在北美行业认可度也很高，因此无论是课程设置还是就业资源，都比较适合以就业为目标的同学。
