但是我最近参考了好几个师兄师姐的cover letter都巨长阿,两页办,单行行距这种的

现在有点不确定,请问各位的cover letter都遵循什么原则写的阿?

suggest keeping the letter concise, usually you can brag about yourself in
detail in your research statement again.

so basically a cover letter is a well-crafted outline that potentially
points to my experiences and interest that are fully developed in other
