[quote=Anonymous]This makes me sad. When I was in HS a million years ago, I wrote a letter to the psych department at the local University looking for opportunities because my HS didn’t have psych classes. I started volunteering as a HS senior and worked in the same prof’s lab all 4 years of college. With her mentorship, I went on to get a PhD. I guess when it’s easy for kids to send such inquiries (google + email), profs are feeling overwhelmed. Although I’m sorry to know that you find such requests irritating, may I suggest creating a kindly worded boilerplate rejection email? For college and HS kids who are looking for summer opportunities, it’s much better to get a polite rejection than no response at all.[/quote]
