Still the question about contacting/reminding professors after submitting the application.
My question is: is it okay to send such confirmation emails to more than one professor at one university? I am not sure if professors prefer applicants who "only want to work with him/her in that school"?
Also, considering my application deadlines were 12/1 or 12/15, is it better to send those confirmation emails now or wait until early January (when they come back from the break and maybe officially start to read the applications..)? Thank you!
