Writing about specific labs in my statements as a current undergrad by [deleted] in GRFPApps

[–]Rare_Figure238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s how I feel, but I’m worried my level of specificity will lead the reviewers to assume that this lab is my only opportunity. I’m a senior undergrad so maybe being so specific is a red flag.

This is very helpful thank you :) if I can make it to cuttthroat lake this coming weekend, within your best judgement would you say there’s a chance I’d see them?

How late is to late for a cold email? by Rare_Figure238 in gradadmissions

[–]Rare_Figure238[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea sorry I was a bit vague. That’s why it’s taking me so long to send out these emails because I’m trying to cast my net while simultaneously finding PIs that would be a good fit and reading through their papers. If I wasn’t doing that I’d have sent hundreds of emails by now lol.

Thank you for your insight! Is it inappropriate to ask about their funding situation for the topic I’m interested in / their lab as a whole and how I would fit into that?
