Hi all,
I received an interview invitation to one of my top choices, but after receiving the interview schedule, I realized that I will not be interviewing with my main POI in the program. I'm primarily interested in the program because of this POI. Moreover, the professors that I am interviewing with specialize in topics that I have no experience nor particular interest in.
Has anyone else had this experience? Should I email the POI, even though I haven't had any prior contact with him? If so, what do I say in this email? I don't want to sound whiny or unappreciative, because I am still very excited for this interview opportunity.
Thanks for your input!
