Johnny_Boy Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Contact professors aside my POI? Since I have only mentioned the POI on my SOP, will he feel negative about me when I contact other professors as well? Furthermore, how do I approach the other professors as I have only mentioned the POI on my SOP not them? SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!
EccentricAcademic Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 What's wrong with talking to people? If you contact multiple people it will show your interest. Where I would worry is if you start pestering professors. Don't do that. Besides, if you haven't gotten in, feel free to contact whoever. Your POI might not be a good fit. If you contact someone, they might end up being a better fit. Unless, you have a POI that's already super attached to you. Then hold off and contact them again and let them know you're interested (if it's not pestering).
bsharpe269 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) If there are 2 professors who are both in the same area and you would love to work with both then definitely contact them both. If they are I the same area though then id think that you would mention both in your SOP. Edited March 4, 2014 by bsharpe269
