Hi, I greatly admire your videos. I found your channel about a year back whilst I was preparing my application to Cambridge. Well, fast forward a year later, I was accepted into Oxford and Cambridge, but I will be leaving for UCL next week. Many of your videos helped me keep it together when this paramount pressure was all over me; thank you for inspiring videos, Saloni. I am looking forward to offering any help I could when you want to talk about UK Unis in your future videos. Godspeed 👍

Hello, The video is really very helpful... and my question is that 1) Can we directly apply in the first year of bachelor's program or should we apply after studying for a year?? 2) Can I apply for internship before going to the University (i.e) after getting the university i20 so that I could get internship directly after going to university?

[@gaabcabrera]

Hi! Your video is really helpful, thanks for sharing it with us. When should be a great time to send an e-mail to a professor? If the application starts in December

[@CrazyMedusa]

Hey, I would recommend starting early, especially if you are looking for a master level degree. Try to get in touch with professors who have similar research interests. Some professors might not like the idea of an email before you actually get admitted, so be careful on how you craft that email.

[@ayushdev5872]

Super

[@vedikasharma5601]

Hey Medusa, I have been following all your suggestions so far...I just needed one more info here, how long before the session of my desire should I start emailing professors?

[@CrazyMedusa]

If you can express your interest in an email and have actually spent time on researching the field and maybe can understand couple of research papers about it, you can start writing prof. to explain why you would like to do an internship

[@nashetaislam6781]

Hi Medusa , actually I wanted to know that does writing to professors for undergrads will help me to get any amount of scholarship?

[@akashkesharwani5761]

Thank you for this video. I was just searching for research internships... One important question -> As I don't know the professors are taking interns or not. I searched for an internship in my field in IIT but the internship is filled. Should I still approach the professor?

[@CrazyMedusa]

You should- its not uncommon for a professor to accept interns even when they've reached their max limit. If you can impress them with your profile, that's all it takes!

[@saynaislamdibasaynaislamdi8875]

How could you prepare ???

[@dhruv1851]

do our research papers only have value if we publish them ?

[@achieverhere3369]

Hi, how long should we take to send a follow-up email to the professor for supervision? And can we send mail during weekends too?

[@CrazyMedusa]

I usually wait about 6-7 days and then do a follow up email. I wouldn’t recommend sending them emails during weekend as there is a high chance they won’t see it till Monday!

[@anukritigupta4225]

Ma'am, I am currently a class 11th PCB student and I'll be completing my high school by 2023. Can you tell me what are the courses offered in medical by Harvard after the 12th because in one video of yours you said that we have to do the undergrad from any other college and then the MD from Harvard so is that really necessary or we can study in Harvard directly after 12th...???

Hey pls opt maths with bio...i dont want you do the same mistake as i did....u will be on safer side if u choose maths 🙏🏻

commented "ANYTHING"

[@mun5660]

How much does a professors interest affect admission decision?. I had gotten a a positive reply from a professor who told me he would get in touch with the admission chair however I was rejected from the university. A lot of replies I had gotten were for example, " I am interested to take you, please let me know if you are admitted". Do professors actually have a say in the admission comittee?

[@CrazyMedusa]

Depends from college to college, recently I have noticed professors have a lot of say in Canadian universities, whereas in USA students still has to clear the graduate dept. before anything

[@Julia-rs4kr]

hey I am a high school student who wants to email a professor and impress them and possibly get a positive reply. Since u mentioned that we should read reasearches/ works published by professors and mention that in our email to have a good impression of us on them, how can I as a high school student do? :( I tried to read the professors work but i couldnt understand anything bcs I just passed out of high school and have no knowlege in my field what so ever. What can I do? any suggestions?

[@CrazyMedusa]

You don't have to understand every single word of a research paper, start by reading abstracts and then google every word you don't understand, make notes!

[@samuelgregs7338]

Thank you for this information. However I have a question…. Can I still send a cold email to a professor as an undergraduate? I gained admission at the university of Manitoba and I would love to be supervised by a professor there, is this possible?

Yes definitely! Am maybe after your first semester, reach out for an RA position and use your college email ID mentioning that you are a current student. Good luck!
