From academic competitions and scientific research.
Academic competitions are quite common in universities.
World-class,
As small as the school level.
But it is useful for applications.
The competitions are mainly large-scale, such as worldwide, national or provincial. For science and engineering
For students, a world competition like the American Mathematical Modeling Competition,
The American computer association (association for computing machinery)
Programming contest, etc. , the whole country.
Such as "Challenge Cup". Winning a prize in such a large-scale competition is very helpful for the application. You wrote a bunch on campus.
Competition,
Even if they are all first prizes,
It is generally of little use.
Next, I will ask some questions that I will encounter in the academic competition.
Give some advice.
How to find a teammate?
Many competitions require team participation.
take for example

Both programming competition and mathematical modeling competition require

Team,
There can be as many as a dozen teams in the Challenge Cup. A good team should have a clear division of labor.
People come from different backgrounds,
Each has its own strengths.
Just looking for acquaintances around you,

See a lot of "team posts", most of which are short, such as "recruiting computer department"
Cattle people take part in mathematical model competition. "First of all, you have to know what kind of' awesome person' you are and what technology you are good at.
Secondly, if you don't write about yourself specifically, why should people team up with you?
How to find a tutor?
When looking for a teacher,
It is necessary to write down the competition requirements in more detail.

You need to have some preliminary first.

As long as you write more specifically,

What kind of coach are you looking for?
from
three
Consider from three aspects.
1
Teachers should have time to guide you. For example, the dean of the college probably didn't.
Enough time to give guidance.
2
A teacher should be "professional", and his research direction or teaching content depends on you.
In order to give effective suggestions, the projects should be consistent.

Teachers should try their best to be helpful to your future application.

How to communicate with the tutor?
Before each formal discussion,
Some questions must be thought out first.
When discussing with the teacher,
Be good at expressing yourself
My own opinion,
Even if your idea is immature,
Also want to express
"I have seriously thought about these issues."
Don't always wait for the teacher to give advice.
Besides,
In the absence of formal discussion,
Try to do it once a week or once a week.
Send an email every two weeks (in the name of the team) to report the progress. The instructor is likely to become you in the future.
We should communicate more and get to know each other better.
