Table of Contents
首先恭喜各位留學版上的大家錄取自己心目中理想的學校
約莫兩年前我也發過類似的文,聽取了大家的建議取補足了背景
不過看來我還有一段路要走 因此想在這裡請教一下大家的看法
Background
NTU: BS EE(ranking~50%(~3.5)
with shitty GPA in fundamental CS related courses)
T/G 101/327
Pub: 1 co-first author in PAKDD
Research Experience: ~10month RA in NTU ML lab
Work Experience: ~4 months NLP intern in startup
Others: 3 Kaggle solo competitions with overall ranking top 2%.
Best rank in one solo:top 6%
SOP/CV
自己寫好後有請一些已經在美國工作的同學和Google的Research Scientist學長看過
RL
1 from my lab advisor
1 from my advisor in undergraduate
1 form my course lecturer
School (All rejects)
MIT PHD IDSS
NYU PHD DS
NYU MS DS
UMich MS Robotics
UMich MS CS
Columbia MS CS
UMass MS CS
USC MS DS
關於我自己的想法
我自己覺得我的弱點就是GPA和非本科這種沒救的弱勢,特別是在
現在瘋狂的CS申請浪潮中我覺得會直接被Excel先濾掉。另外一個弱勢
可能是推薦信的強度還不夠,因為我只有一封算的上有相關的強推其他都罐頭
所以我的想法是明年直接放棄美國改走歐洲,不敢說不看GPA,
但至少可以逃過Excel。然後這過程中再多去接(ㄅㄠˋ)計(ㄉㄚˋ)畫(ㄊㄨㄟˇ)
來加強推薦信這一塊
另外我的職涯方向不是SWE,我比較想去業界做一些Research work,所以有人可
能覺得我怎麼申那麼少因為我對學校非常挑,每一間每一個Program每一個Faculty
到裡面的每一個Lab的出路和跟業界的Connection我都研究過,綜合後我喜歡才下手。
(除了USC我是最後亂丟的XD)
現在是計畫明年申請美國和其他大概是1:2,其他的選項為加拿大和倫敦
關於研究的部分我之後比較想做的是Deep Learning相關(現在做的是DL在NLP的一些應用)
當然現階段我還在摸索所其他像Dialogue,Speech,CV,或是到一些更底層的
Learning method/model像RL,Generative model,MANN都不排斥
不知道今年還能做哪些努力呢,謝謝
Update 為什麼想做研究不申請PhD
因為我覺得我太廢根本不敢想XD 我今年沒有決心申phD
所以也沒有做一些phd該有的操作
我身邊申請PhD的同學每個都至少3.9/4.0穿金戴銀+Top tier Pub
或是有一個碩班top tier pup發了1x篇
我沒有這麼好的硬體,因此我選擇去當地MS+RA的策略慢慢逼近,那一定找得到嗎
我情報告訴我到今年都是可以的而且有成功案例
所以我選擇用這樣看似繞遠路的方式,其實我不覺得繞遠路
希望這樣有回答到願意給我建議的大大們的疑惑
