| Feb 27, 2018 at 15:16 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | Beware: if you email me a third time you will end up in my spam filter. But yes, people are different. So the OP could try to find out what is going on by talking to people who know him/her. Also, trying to make an appointment through the secretary as suggested by Roland is a potential way forward. But I would not hold much hope. | |

However, the statement is not true for a significant number of professors who are not like you. I have had many experiences in academia in which the lack of a response from a professor was not indicative of a decision at all, but merely an indication that the emails have fallen through some attention cracks. I wouldn't have my position today if I hadn't emailed a professor a third time! | |
