Is it too late to contact the doctoral supervisor for next year's exam? 165438+ 10?

It is not too late. It is more appropriate to contact the tutor three or four months before the registration of Kaobo. Although it is not forbidden to be too early or too late, it still has some shortcomings.

Anyone who wants to take the doctoral exam knows that the number of students enrolled by doctoral tutors is limited every year, but there are many people who want to sign up. Now many enrollment schools have begun to popularize the application review system. So if the contact is too late, others have already communicated with the doctoral supervisor, and the doctoral supervisor is also interested in his academic ability and research direction, then your competitiveness will decline, and you will even be told that there are no places.

One disadvantage of contacting the tutor too early is that your academic achievements may not be enough, and you can't come up with specific materials when communicating with the doctoral tutor. Such a candidate tutor will think that you don't pay much attention to the exam and are not fully prepared.

Second, there will be some uncertainties in premature contact. Some colleges and universities will not allocate places to doctoral supervisors very early, so the supervisors themselves don't know how many places they will have this year, and the answer you get is uncertain.

So how to communicate with doctors? Of course, the point is that you should prepare a detailed description, including your academic achievements, domestic and international conferences you attended, published papers and scientific research projects. But there is another link that many people will ignore, that is, understanding the main direction of doctoral research and published papers you want to apply for.

One is to let the tutor know that you chose to apply for this tutor after careful consideration, and the other is to adjust the display of your academic achievements according to the research direction of the doctoral tutor. If the direction of your published thesis or research project is far from the research direction of your doctoral supervisor, it is difficult to get your supervisor to agree to your application.

Moreover, in the process of doctoral interview, the interview professor will ask you about the research direction you want to carry out after your PhD, so it is necessary to know more about the academic situation of doctoral supervisors.
