Hello everyone,
I am a potential graduate in Electrical Engineering. Being highly interested in doing research, I contacted several professors who lead research groups for possible research opportunities. I included my resume, but did not a transcript (my GPA is not spectacular) in my e-mails. I don't personally know most of the professors I contacted.
Even though, for some of the professors, my experience is highly relevant to their work, I haven't received a single response so far. The only response I got from a professor was that he's currently out of town and will be able to read e-mail in two days -- then nothing.
I contacted the research coordinator for a research center who said she forwarded my e-mail to all professors -- again, no response.
My e-mails were personalized to each professor and written in a professional matter, is there something that I have missed? What can I do to improve my chances of receiving a response from a professor?
Advice needed!
