One important piece of advice offered to me by several people, which I found hard to
believe at first, is that in terms of advisor selection, the person is more important than the
project itself. To restate the previous sentence, finding a person with whom you can work
well is more important, in my opinion (and the opinion of many people who have been in
graduate school), than finding a person with what you think is the perfect project or a similar
project to what you were working on in undergraduate.http://me.stanford.edu/documents/ME_SSO/Advice_Paper_web.pdf
Are you in agreement with this statement? How come?
