关于硬件, GPA, 背景 Dear XXX, My name is XX, a senior student / second-year master student at YY university, China. I am interested in applying for your ZZ program. While browsing your website, I discovered that you have a GRE AW requirement at 3.5. My Aw is 3.0 even though I have had extensive English writing experience in my studies and research. I am wondering if my application will be declined automatically for my AW score. Could you please let me know if you will still review my application or you will strongly encourage me retake the exam? I understand you must have received this question all the time. Thank you very much for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you.

关于就业率 Career service and professional opportunities are the most important things that I am looking for in a graduate program. So could you please let me know what kind of jobs or internships your international students normally get during or immediately after the program, especially the Chinese students? I understand that you may not have the official stats, just your perception is fine. 关于录取率 Do you mind letting me know how many students you are admitting this year? Also how many applications do you normally get or did you get last year? Please forgive me if those questions were inappropriate or something you can’t share.

I am planning to apply for the PhD program at XXX. I am quite interested in the research topics of AAA and BBB Group. I am writing to ask the difference of lab atmosphere and the way students are supervised in the two labs. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you. Best, JoJo

获取信息：在校生 Dear Mike. I learned your contact information from Dr. AAA’s webpage. I am interested in applying for the 2013fall PhD program at XXX. I have several questions concerning life and study in XXX and I would be happy if you could answer the following ones. 1、I am interested in the research topics in your lab, especially the YYY. What do you think about the facilities and doctoral training in XXXX? 2、What do you think about competition regarding application for the PhD program in XXX. I found statistics stating that successful applicants have an average GPA at 3.5, GRE around 70% in the verbal section. I got 57% in the verbal section in GRE, so I am a bit worried.
