Hello guys,
I've heard mixed information about whether to connect the POI before you actually submit your application. I want to apply for clinical psychology for 2019 Fall admission. My top choice is very close to where I live right now. I want to connect with the prof the I want to work with for my PhD to do some collaboration work, or even volunteer as a research assistant in her lab. But I'm not sure whether this is a good idea. What do you guys think based on your experience?
Thank you!
