Note

Generic mass email: Faculty are looking for 1) students who can make contributions to the research in their lab; 2) students who they can advise and mentor in developing their own research projects; 3) students with relevant research experience. It's largely about the "fit" and how successfully an application conveys this through the Personal History Statement, Statement of Purpose, and letters of recommendation. But there are other factors at play, with the biggest being the limitation on how many new students we can bring in each year. Most of our faculty can consider having only one new student and sometimes don't offer admission to any.
