Hi All,
I had a question about this before but this one is slightly different. The consensus was to keep the emails less than 3 lines when introducing yourself to/asking an adviser if they plan to mentor a graduate student.
What if their website already says they do? Should I still email to introduce myself? If so, would I just say I am glad to hear they are accepting?
What if they say they are accepting, and that it is not necessary to write to confirm - would you still email to introduce yourself?
Hopefully these questions make sense! I am probably overthinking this...
