This may be a silly question, but I'm really hoping for some help. I recently reached out to several faculty members inquiring about research projects. After hearing back from a few of them, I found a project that I am interested in, but now I have to turn down the other projects that aren't as interesting to me. However, I feel super bad about this, since I was the one who reached out and "begged" for projects, and now I'm saying no. Can someone offer some advice on a professional way to turn down the projects? Thanks!
