近期有很多家長谘詢暑研申請的問題,海外暑期科研(暑研)是指學生利用暑假時間到科研機構開展課題研究的一種經曆。由於(yu) 本科生參與(yu) 科研的機會(hui) 和資源有限,如果學校提供不了,或者提供的機會(hui) 不適合,利用暑假去開展一段全日製的科研訓練,有助於(yu) 發掘科研興(xing) 趣以及提升科研能力。
海外暑研對申請有著無可比擬的重要性,尤其是研究型碩士及博士的申請。
申請者以往的科研經曆、科研技能及推薦人的身份、推薦信的內(nei) 容是導師和申請委員會(hui) 最看重的。一段高質量的海外科研,能夠在上述所有方麵為(wei) 申請者加分,具體(ti) 如下:
會(hui) 增加科研經曆,豐(feng) 富簡曆,積累科研經驗與(yu) 技能,且對該專(zhuan) 業(ye) 領域的前沿科研課題有深入的了解和把握,有機會(hui) 獲得論文發表(於(yu) 權威國際期刊或會(hui) 議)等學術成果,極大提升申請軟實力;
可以獲得高含金量的推薦信,科研老板的推薦信,相對於(yu) 授課教授、實習(xi) 領導的推薦信而言,更能具體(ti) 、個(ge) 性化的展現學生研究能力與(yu) 品質,為(wei) 碩博申請打下堅實基礎;
會(hui) 與(yu) 國際名校名師深度合作中建立聯係,拓展關(guan) 係網;
增加博士申請套磁RA成功率;
熟悉海外科研氛圍,提前適應碩博學習(xi) 模式與(yu) 生活;
優(you) 秀者可獲得return offer,直接拿下碩/博的入讀名額。
推薦信和科研基本是掛鉤的,簡曆(以及申請個(ge) 人陳述)中的科研經曆,如果沒有相關(guan) 教授或者指導老師的推薦信其實也是不那麽(me) 有分量的。在做好的科研的同時盡可能要到不錯的推薦信,這是一段海外暑研最小的成功。
一般來說簡曆第一項是一個(ge) 和美國教授做的科研項目會(hui) 很吸引申請委員會(hui) 的注意。所以在其他成績基本定型的情況下,科研可以將申請者的實力提升到另一個(ge) 層次。
暑研項目的申請時間每年的10月左右就需要開始準備材料,這些材料包含學校成績單、語言成績、個(ge) 人簡曆、推薦信以及個(ge) 人陳述等,11-12月初申請截止;在1-3月,海外院校會(hui) 進行初步篩選,篩選後會(hui) 通知學生進行麵試;麵試結束後,3月-4月後會(hui) 發布錄取結果。現在這個(ge) 時間點是項目審核中的階段,大多數項目已經過了申請時間,但我還是將知道的暑研項目做了整理,可以為(wei) 之後需要申請的同學和家長做參考。

費用:全獎
招生要求:
Students must identify and contact a research mentor in advance of submitting an application. A mentor must agree to support your application, help you to develop and define a research project, and assist you in the writing of the research proposal.
The Research ProjectThe most important factor in selecting a project is your enthusiasm for the project itself and for working with the mentor. Although most students seek projects in their options, SURF provides an opportunity to explore other fields. SURF is not "just a summer job"; a project should have significant intellectual and creative content. The benchmark for a suitable project is the potential for publication in the refereed literature.
The ProposalThe proposal should be as technical and specific as you can make it as it will be read by people in the field. It must outline what you plan to do, and why it will be useful. The outline consists of theoretical background and experimental techniques, how the work fits into the flow of the research in the field, and a work plan for the project. Proposals will be reviewed and evaluated by the mentor and by a member of the faculty in the project field. If you are a 2nd or 3rd time SURFer, your proposal should show a higher level of depth that would be expected of an experienced researcher. For further guidelines on writing an excellent proposal, access theProposal/Project Plans.
RecommendationsTwo recommendation letters are required, one of which must be from a faculty member. The other can be from an instructor, graduate TA, RA/RLC, coach or someone else who can speak to a student's strengths. Upperclass students should ask professors in their field for both recommendations. Recommender contact information should be entered in the applicant's SFP Online account. The recommender will then be emailed directly and asked to submit their recommendation into the online system. If you have done a previous research project with a different mentor, that mentor should write one of your recommendations. Recommendations are due on February 22, along with your application, so submit your recommender information well in advance.Your prospective Caltech mentor will complete a separate evaluation and should not write a letter of recommendation.
TranscriptVisiting (non-Caltech) students need to submit an unofficial transcript at time of application. If an award is offered, you will be asked to have an official transcript sent by your college or university.
