About to start emailing profs to ask if they're accepting grad students in their lab next year. Any common mistakes I should avoid? Do I attach a CV? Am I putting way too much anxiety on a simple email? Don't answer the last one, I know it's yes. #AcademicTwitter #PhDchat

I'm not from the USA, I'm a Cypriot academic in the UK, so please bear this in mind but I'm really confused by this. I understand emailing but why ask if accepting? Why not just ask if they would want you? I think I'm missing something deep about US academia.

To answer this question in my case, in my field students always do rotations their first year. You’re not directly admitted to a single lab. Thus I want to make sure some interesting PIs plan to take rotation students next year before I apply to that school.
