Hello all!
First off a big thanks to all the users on this forum- it has been so helpful during this application process.
I am currently applying for PhD programs in Neuroscience and was wondering what others' thoughts were on contacting professors to express my interest in possibly working with them. I have heard that this is can be very beneficial but I am worried that it might come across a little forward and possibly annoying. Clearly these people are very busy and presumably receive many e-mails about stuff like this. What were others' experiences with this? What did you say?
Thanks in advance!
Ben
