That's awesome. Thanks for your response. It makes this a lot easier. B

So my plan is just to write them and say hey, I'm planning on researching xyz, and I found your book on blah blah very interesting. But then what - that's the tough bit. I hope you consider my application favourably. I hope, if I gain admission, to work with you. If I gain admission, would you be interested in supervising sth. like this. Thanks for responses thus far.

i really think you should be able, tho I have no evidence Learn word roots, and focus on getting up to speed on sentence completion and Rcomp. Antonyms are a bit of a pain, but with long enough, you should be flying. Good luck.

Thanks Ivy Yeah, I was thinking interview or just to signal that I've applied and that my interests are xyz, would you be interested in supervising something like that? Or does the last part sound a little too forward? Thanks, Billy

Could somebody advise me if this is the thing to do: 1. Prior to applying 2. After applying but before acceptance 3. After acceptance There was an article link in another forum and the Computer Scientist there said don't bother until after acceptance. For Social Sciences, is that the done thing?
