John Richard Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I just got accepted to a Master's program and would like to get into research. Should I find a prof who I have common research interests with and email them? How should I go about this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrizz Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 You should absolutely email a prof... or as many as possible. Strike now before spots are taken and show how devoted you are - you'll likely get what you're after more easily that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowclaw Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I agree with agrizz. You want to get to know your potential research mentors as soon as possible so you can explore all of the options open to you, as well as make sure all the good projects aren't taken I emailed my thesis advisor during the application process and continued to communicate with him over the summer. Depending on your topic and the structure of your program, this will allow to get started as soon as the first semester starts (or sooner), or at least get you on track to start reviewing relevant literature.
