Lindsey makes a great point. So here is a (maybe opinionated) thread about how to email a professor (or maybe just me) when applying for graduate school. 1/https://twitter.com/lindsey/status/1199549314533511168 …
First, it is useful to see why so many profs found my tweet relatable. Every year, profs receive tens/hundreds of impersonal copy-paste emails from students that are just looking for funding to get into ANY school in the US. TLDR your email shouldn't sound like the one below 2/pic.twitter.com/GV86D3bKDc
But then, what should the email sound like? When a student emails me, I (and I suspect other profs) usually look for an answer to the following question: Is this student genuinely interested in my work and in pursuing a PhD? 3/
A good email should cover some of the following: How did you find out about my work? What work specifically did you like? WHY did you like it? What didn’t you like about my work and think can be done better? What would you like to work on under my guidance? 4/
Some details: The email has to express interest in the professor's work. So, I assume you have read one of my papers. If you just tell me “I found your paper X interesting”, I have no reason to believe that you actually read it. Your email should convince me that you did. 5/
Go into details about the work! “I read your papers about topic A and found them interesting. In particular, I saw how here you do X and I wonder why you didn't do Y. Why not extending this to Z?” 6/
IMPORTANT: you don’t need to have previous experience in programming languages research (my field). Four students out of the six I advise were from completely different fields (Nets, Sys, Chemistry!, Quantum/Theory). As people pointed out, grad school is a place for learning. 7/
However, you should tell me why you are interested into moving to my field. “It turns out that X wasn’t for me and recently I started reading about Y and found it very exciting. In particular, I read …” 8/
Finally, there are many nice resources on how to apply to grad school (http://matt.might.net/articles/how-to-apply-and-get-in-to-graduate-school-in-science-mathematics-engineering-or-computer-science/ …) and some people have personalized instructions (http://fsl.cs.illinois.edu/index.php/Grigore_Rosu%27s_Join_Group_Page …). So lots to read! Good luck with your applications! 9/9
