tuba Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I am going to apply to the phd programs in the US. However, I have a small budget and I can make one or two applications. Do you think it would be inappropriate to send e-mails (my CV, SOP and research proposal attached) to the professors to learn my chances of getting admitted?

fuzzylogician Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 What field are you in? It's hard to give an answer that fits your needs without knowing that. I started writing a "if you're in X kind of field, Y is a good course of action" type reply but there are too many if's and most of what I would write would not be useful to you. So, at least tell us if you're in a field where you have to have an advisor lined up before applying or if you apply to the department as a whole and pick a lab/advisor later. In the meanwhile, you should also look into fee waivers, so you could perhaps apply to more than just a couple of schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
