  • Hey All, after our previous video about "How I got my Ph.D. admission in the USA", a lot of you asked us many interesting questions and hence we wanted to make this video to clear at least some of those questions and help you to be successful in your Ph.D. journey. In today's video, we'll talk about the questions "Does your background matter?" to pursue a Ph.D. program in the USA and "How to approach professors" with the introductory emails in the admission process.

    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?
