10. � 这是我当初申请的学校：
� University of North Carolina- Chap Hill
� Arizona State University
� University of Nebraska Lincoln
� University of Colorado Denver
� Kent state university
� 当时不想去东西部，所以东岸西岸的学校都没有选。选
校的话地理位置很重要， master要考虑以后这个城市好
不好找工作。 PhD要考虑这个学校在学术方面是不是有
所建树，这为以后留校或是去其他学校继续从事和学术
有关的工作有很大帮助。个人意见，仅供参考。
