when no professor replies to me, what should I do?

[1017760933@163.com]

I contacted some professors, but there was no positive response and most of them didn't reply. Maybe my research experience is not hot and isn't match with them?

I found that some programs I've applied has sent admission emails to applications from gradcafe, but I got no offer. I am anxious about this so that it is difficult for me to concentrate on other things. 

Do international students get offer later?

What should I do to deal with my dilemma? contacting professor and secretary or just waiting?

Please give some advice.

Every school has different deadlines. I am not sure about STEM fields, but in the Humanities, it is customary to email professors before applications are due—after that, it may be a conflict of interests (especially if you have not already started a dialogue). No professor is going to know how good of a fit you are from one email—if s/he doesn't respond, it is not a reflection on your worth as an applicant. That being said, I don't think there are any separate acceptance dates for foreign applicants.

I wouldnt worry, I'm an international student and I havent heard anything back. I corresponded with professors before and after application, most replied and were eager but no interview invites as we wouldnt be able to attend the dates of interview anyway.. I'm waiting until late January to freak out lol.
