[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you're a parent pretending to be a professor to discourage kids from trying to get ahead. If not, you're pretty out-of-the-loop. Many kids now have had internships/research experience by the time they apply to college. Lots get it through connections, but for those who can't, cold emailing is the alternative. It's understandable that you find it irritating, but don't expect it to stop anytime soon. Lots of professors actually do write back and try to find something the student can do. [/quote] Actually for those who don't, paying thousands of dollars a year to a private college counseling group that contracts the professors is the usual alternative. And no, lots of professors do not write back and find something the student can do. -College professor and parent who won't play these games with my kid or anyone else's [/quote]
