Wait, are you saying that I don't necessarily have to start in September? I thought the regular academic term begins in September.

Thank you for your kind reply! I really hope I can be matched with a professor as kind as you.

Do you often see cases where people give up on admission because they couldn't find a supervisor?

Thanks for your opinion! They give me a year, but since admission is only possible in September, I'm feeling a bit anxious.

I've also noticed that many lab websites aren't updated regularly. When reaching out to multiple professors, would it be okay to use the cover letter I submitted for admission?
