从中大走向美国斯坦福大学之路
邢同学，中大2010界生化学院优秀学子（班级排名前十），以IBT 103，GRE 1360分数获得美国斯坦福大学材料科学专业硕士课程录取，UCLA 本科直博（PhD）课程录取。
当他身边的同学还在考虑参加什么社团，是否竞争公派交换项目的时候，邢同学已经确立了自己将来的升学方向。大二阶段邢同学与DiySmart签约，并在DiySmart服务系统中留言 “为了能获得去美国深造的机会，一直坚持不懈的努力，不轻言放弃”。
理工类博士项目申请，背景为王。如果要进入顶尖工程类项目，申请者必须具备特有的背景优势。所谓特有的背景优势就是在某个领域上深入成就。 DiySmart理工组顾问结合邢同学的个人兴趣和中大的学习资源，建议他在生物功能高分子，碳纳米管/硅质杂化凝胶材料，双醛淀粉/天然乳胶共混膜， 支链淀粉等在医学材料中应用作深入研究。邢同学抵御了身边同学都在不停地刷GRE/TOELF分数的影响，坚持属于自己的DIY申请方略 - 在保分得前提下，集中精力提升背景。
实际上，美国众多顶尖学校对理工类博士申请者考试成绩要求不高。一些清华、北大顶尖学子进入美国工程名校如加州大学伯克利分校，麻省理工大学 MIT，加州理工大学，伊利罗伊大学香槟分校（UIUC）入学成绩实际上并非特别突出。这些被录取学生往往已经具备国家专利，国际研究论文发表，或者丰富 的项目经历。
进入大三下学期后邢同学开始准备对他的Dream School进行套磁工作。 由于早期准备，当时邢同学已经掌握了丰富项目背景，甚至有文章已经提交审核发表。要申请美国博士课程，套磁工作量巨大。从筛选潜在导师，到设计相关函件以 及自我推销，邢同学在DiySmart顾问指导下，步步为营。实际上，套磁成功的关键不在于申请人背景有多么牛，关键在于“广撒渔网，研究对口”。就是会 说，申请人应该尽量多地接触那些与自己研究背景相关的潜在导师。UCLA研究生是典型需要套磁的美国名校。之前已经有DiySmart中大Fu Qiang同学通过套磁得到地理信息科学方向博士课程录取。凭借相关经验和邢同学的背景实力，DiySmart先为邢同学在过年前就争的该校博士课程录取 （见下文录取信）。春节后，邢同学的Dream School 美国斯坦福大学发来了录取通知书，而美国州立大学，RPI等保底学校也录取给邢同学发出Offer信。邢同学的申请经历是典型的DiySmart案例： 决心 + 努力 + DiySmart = 完成飞跃世界名校的故事
附1. 邢同学申请PS节选
On February 15, 2009, the spring festival of China, despite the chilliness and loneliness in this most rapturous holiday in China, all my focus was on the expectation to my last modification’s success of the experiment. However, I clearly recalled the scene that the carbon nanotubes agglomerated together and precipitate to the bottom of the solution once more, which announced that all of my expectation and assumption ended in failure again. Holding the beaker in my hand, I was completely frustrated. I phoned my tutor about the whole process with depress. During the call, my tutor gave me a significantly helpful advice, which was in fact just a little change of the solvent, the result was totally different. The moment I saw the hope, I also saw my own deficiency and found there was still a long way to go. This is why I strongly want to further my study abroad, where I would find a brand-new environment of learning and researching. I want to further enhance my independent thinking and problem-solving abilities. I want to make chemistry, the subject I love so much, part of my life.
Being interested in fundamental sciences, I chose Chemical Biology in Sun Yat-Sen University as my college major. With keen interest, diligence and self-discipline, I landed in the top 8% of my grade. I was, however, not satisfied to only pursue knowledge from books and classes, and instead keen to gain technical skills from practice, as well. Therefore, I participated in research at Professor Liming Zhang’s Laboratory for Polymer Composite and Functional Materials as a research assistant. Thanks to the research group, I could refer to plenty of research papers, master how to write experiment reports, and gain much precious practical experience in my interested research field.
In the lab, I rapidly learned basic laboratory skills and mastered the sophisticated analytical methods. Later, under the supervision of Dr...... , we started research on fabricating a novel functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) hybrids based on water soluble polysaccharide, which has great potential in biosensor applications. We planned to prepare undamaged water soluble MWNTs by adding chitosan derivation containing pyrene (CSP), which wrapped around nanotube sidewalls by π-π stacking interaction. Then, we would fabricate new silica gel composites containing MWNTs by sol-gel process. I participated in the design of the synthesis of CSP and the dispersion of MWNTs in CSP solution. It was much more complicated than I had anticipated and I encountered many unexpected difficulties in effectively dispersing MWNTs into the CSP solution, just as what I mentioned in the first paragraph. In order to find the most suitable concentration of CSP solution, I had to repeat the simple operations many times. To carry on with the project, we worked on the characterization of carbon nanotubes Sol-Gel Composites. Firstly, I learned to use rheological measurements to monitor the gelation process. Secondly, I focused on TEM and SEM observation. How excited I was when I saw the real configuration of carbon nanotubes in the microgram through the TEM observation, also the interior structure of carbon nanotubes sol-gel composites network in the SEM images! Through carefully repeated experiments and optimized experimental conditions, we finally overcame the difficulties and have submitted the result as a manuscript, of which I am the second author, to Chemistry of Material. Learning from this experience, I realized that strong dedication is the most important tool in the lab. Science needs dedicated man to survive, and dedicated man needs science to thrive.
Since my major is Chemical Biology, I had also done many other researches in the interdisciplinary field of polymer material and biomedicine. By using a biopolymer Chitosan to assist the gelation of glycol-modified tetraethoxysilane in aqueous system without any organic solvents, I attempted to find this biocompatible polymer silica gel’s application in the protein entrapment. In order to test its suitability to encapsulate the model protein BSA, I managed to use circular dichroism measurements to investigate protein conformation. The results of CD measurements showed that its entrapment to BSA does not affect the native protein’s secondary structure to any significant extent; it even improves the thermal stability of BSA by increasing its unfolding temperature. I expected that such a polymer silica gel matrix could offer more advantages than conventional silica materials as the immobilization platform for bioactive molecules, such as proteins, drugs, and enzymes. This kind of interdisciplinary research experience not only broadened my horizons, but also trained my ability to comprehensively apply the knowledge of different subjects to solve practical problems.
Owing to my excellent performance, I was........ （节选完毕）
