| May 30, 2015 at 20:41 | comment | added | Stephanie | @xLeitix yeah I imagine the quality of the CV/email and reputation of the country has an effect, I'm fortunate enough to come from the UK and not have the same problems. | |
| May 30, 2015 at 7:46 | comment | added | The Godfather | @xLeitix, I'm from Russia, and probably it's not on the list of "certain developing countries" (but of course, I don't know how well US\Europe professors treat russian students) | |
| May 30, 2015 at 7:43 | comment | added | The Godfather | @Gaurav, I've not thought about probable PhD thesis carefully yet. But I can say it will be more in practical CS than in applied math (the one I do now). I haven't talked about it with my advisor. | |
| May 30, 2015 at 7:20 | comment | added | xLeitix | @Stephanie My personal experience and many questions here indicate that your experience may not be typical, though. Frankly, this probably also has to do with you being from the UK, while most students who email "complete strangers in foreign countries" are from certain developing countries, who have a reputation for taking a scattershot approach to topic selection ("I take any topic that gives me funding and gets me outta here."). | |

| May 29, 2015 at 22:27 | comment | added | Stephanie | @JeffE, I received several great responses from complete strangers about PhDs, if they are interested in taking a student on and the intro is snappy there is no reason to say they'll automatically delete... | |
| May 29, 2015 at 19:28 | comment | added | JeffE | Complete strangers in other countries are used to potential students e-mailing them — ...and hitting the delete key. | |
| May 29, 2015 at 1:09 | comment | added | Gaurav | Complete strangers in other countries are used to potential students e-mailing them, so don't be shy about that! Do you know what you want to do a PhD on? Is that something you can talk with your Masters advisor about? | |
