zhtmahtm Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hi all, I've been contacting many professors (like 6) in my top-choice school that does a lot of research that aligns pretty well with my interests. However all of them didn't have funding, and only 2 of them responded that they would be willing to take students only if they can secure funding from some sources (not guaranteed). At this point I'm not sure whether I should mention these professors in my SOP. I'm guessing that I should still talk about them to make my SOP more tailored to the school, but can that be also taken as a sign that I didn't do enough "research" before applying...?

rising_star Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 It all depends on how you talk about them. If you say something like "I have been in contact with Drs. X and Y about our shared research interests and their willingness to take me on as a student" then it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
