Hi everyone,
I'm gearing up to start emailing POIs to see if they are accepting students, and had a few questions...
1) When's a good time to send these emails out?
2) How much info should I share about myself? (just a quick intro, should I attach my cv, etc?)
3) Do I need to suggest I've looked at their research in great detail?
4)...or is it ok to just quickly and concisely ask if they are accepting new students?
5)......or is part of the goal of these emails to begin networking, in which case they can be a little longer to express my background/interests/etc.?
Thanks for much for the help. As you can see, I'm new to all of this : ) If anyone has any thoughts or can point me to some resources, I would be very thankful.
