圣诞节套磁常见问题：
网申时有一个问题是说和哪个教授联系过?其实我没有联系过。但是我在网站上看了看感觉只有一个ASSISTANT PROFESSOR比较符合(其实也很悬)，打算圣诞节给他发封电子贺卡然后顺便套磁什么的，但是不知道应该怎么说。挺害怕的，万一这一个不match了，那这个申请不就over了吗。
圣诞节套磁的经验分享：
逢美国的节日如感恩节和圣诞节的时候我也都会去发信问候.挑几封和大家分享:
Dear Prof.XX:

教授的回复: Hi 18411111:
Thanks for the email and the Toefl-iBT scores.
You are correct that Thanksgiving is an important holiday. In spite of our Christian heritage, you may be surprised to learn that Thanksgiving may be even more important than Christmas. More people travel for Thanksgiving than Christmas.
In any event, I’ll get back to you shortly.
Best Wishes,
