我的申請經驗比較特殊一點，可能沒有太多的參考價值，不過我還是希望能與大
家分享一下。我的情形是在校成績一直都不錯，然後很早就接觸學術研究。從大
二下開始參加一個天文物理的讀書會，中研院天文所的所長會帶我們每個星期讀
paper 跟討論。升大三暑假時我參加了中研院天文所的暑期學生計畫，結束後就
在那邊繼續做研究。升大四時我們就把結果投出去，這也是我的第一篇 paper。
大四我想換一個領域，所以就改成跟系上作高能物理的老師，老師對我很好，找
了一個小題目讓我作，我才能在最後這一年又發表一篇 paper，畢業後的暑假老
師還讓我去國外會議報告。
我覺得提早接觸研究在我申請學校時有很多幫助，而不僅是 CV 上有東西可以寫
而已。首先對英文能力很有幫助，像因為讀很多 paper，習慣了那種看不懂內容
但也要看懂脈絡的感覺，寫 GRE verbal 的閱讀就變得容易很多。事實上，我的
GRE verbal 成績大概都是靠閱讀拿分的。Writing 的部分也因為有寫過 paper
就比較知道該怎麼下手。另外，SoP 也會比較好寫，大部分篇幅都是說明作過的
研究跟經驗。還有推薦信我也是很快就找齊了，因為我後來決定要往高能物理走，
所以那三封找系上的推薦信都是找作高能物理的老師。除了我的老闆外，一位是
我有當過他的 TA，還有一位是大四的時候我也跟他合寫 paper 。然後我也找了
一位大氣系的老師幫我寫推薦信，有些可以給四封推薦信的學校我就會多加一封。
如果時間跟精力允許的話，我是建議可以早點接觸學術研究，我猜對於申請物理
Ph.D. 應該是滿有幫助的。雖然不一定能有 publication（那有點運氣成分），
但就像我的例子，在準備申請的時候還是少傷了很多腦筋。這一點我也很感謝我
的老師們，如果不是他們的指導與幫助，我絕對不會有這樣的申請結果。
最後也希望我的同學們以及板上各位能盡快被心目中的學校錄取，大家加油～
