種，套歪了的回信：

Thanks for your interest. I have examined your CV. Your interests are more in  line with those of my colleague

第二種，干脆的拒了你的：

原因一：不趕興趣：I am interested in stable isotopes but I mostly apply these to the  study of otherfield than you. I am not very interested in your project.

Currently I do not have any financial support for new graduate students.

原因二：不缺學(xué)生：

thanks for your interest in our graduate program.

Unfortunately right now, I am not looking for new graduate students for my  projects.

原因三：沒時間理你(就是說算了吧，你不夠格)

My summer schedule is:

June 22-30, U.K.

July 1-2, Harvard

July 3-Aug 12, Field in Canada

Aug 13-17, Harvard

Aug 18-Sept 14, Field in Namibia

Sept 15-Oct 3, Field in Australia

Oct 4-9, Harvard

還有，好一些的。

I am out of the US for the next year on a sabbatical. Please direct your  inquiries to our graduate student advisor Dr. Calvin .

I am forwarding your message to him.

第三種，模棱兩可的回信，屬于不見兔子不撒鷹的教授：

Thank you for your interest in SIO. We look forward to receiving your  application and will consider your file next winter whnen we begin our review of  applicants.

還有：比較客氣一些的：

Thanks very much for your email and interest in working with me .

I look forward to receiving your application and will consider it seriously  and with interest

第四種，對你感興趣的：

Thank you for your email message about your interest in graduate studies at  our University. Your research is very interesting, and I encourage you to apply  to the program here. Most of the application materials are online.

The TOEFL score you listed on your CV is fine (I think any score over 550 is  considered acceptable); GRE scores will be important too. You can read about the  initial results of my paper published last year. I can send you a copy if you do  not have this paper. You may also want to read some work by David Kohlstedt, who  is also nvolved in this project.

If you have any questions about research or the graduate program here, please  let me know. You can also contact my colleague,Christian Teyssier. He is the  Director of Graduate Studies .

看來能讓老外感興趣必須要他缺學(xué)生。否則再牛也白扯。而且要專業(yè)方向跟他很相近，除非你牛的不行了。
