πππ¦π ππ¨π§π π¬ππ²π₯π ππ§π π¬π’π³π: Make sure that the same font style and font size are used throughout your emailβs body. Any mismatch shows that you have copied content, which might give the impression that you are lazy and careless.
ππππππ‘π¦ππ§ππ¬: Attach important documents such as CV and transcripts upfront with the email. Facilitate the professor, donβt make him/her ask for these documents.
ππ«π¨π¨ππ«πππ: Thoroughly proofread your email to make sure that any titles and names (e.g., professorβs name, labβs name, universityβs name) are correct. Any mistake here will display a copy-paste approach.
ππππ© π’π ππ¨π§ππ’π¬π: Professors donβt have time to read long emails. Focus on key points β your publications, alignment of the research background, GPA, graduation school, English score, etc.
