s5260205 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 So I've emailed about 30 scientists (mostly clinician-scientists in Toronto hospitals, clinical or basic science research) in early January. It's been about 2 weeks and I have gotten only 5 replies saying their labs are full. How long does it usually take for PIs to reply? I understand most PIs receive so many emails from students that they can't reply to every student, but it's really depressing not getting any interview.

peachaso Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I got replies back mostly within 1 business day (mostly some reason why it wasn't possible )... Are you changing the email slightly for each prof? If it's exactly the same for everyone that would explain it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonney Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 You will have better results if you go meet them, instead of sending mass emails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
