Hi all,
I'm at the stage where I want to start writing to faculty (I've done my research on school and faculty,, downloaded articles, etc.).
I want to mention reading the person's article but don't want to sound to ass-kissy ...any recommendations?
I also want to subtly ask if they have openings for the upcoming year and if not have them recommend me to someone in department who does.......should I be subtle or just come right out and ask?
I've also been told by advisors that if the person doesn't email me back then I should cross them off my list? Is that good advice to take?
I'm doing this because I don't want to waste my money applying to a program that doesn't have room (well a specific faculty member doesn't have room) because most programs recommend you have 2-3 faculty members you want to work with.
Thanks
