klkrey2 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi, I have a different type of question I can't quite seem to find the answer for... In my major, you typically need a professor to take you into their lab before even applying to the school. I have done all this, emailing professors and finding ones with interest in me. I have completed all of my application requirements at this point and it has been a month since I submitted and talked with these professors. I feel like I should send them a friendly follow up email to let them know I am still interested and thinking about their program and project, and to keep my name fresh in their mind (In the decision process for them wanting me in their lab). Is this a good idea? How would I write this email without sounding cheesy? Any ideas would be much appreciated!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaspheming Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 My plan is to e-mail all of the professors that I've been in contact with and let them know that my application has been submitted, etc. One of them told me to do that so he could "put in an informal recommendation," so I figure it couldn't hurt with the others.

ktel Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 ^ What he said. I did the same thing, e-mailed all of them way before I submitted my application and then sent an e-mail to let them know I had submitted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
