[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] "Many kids" having research or internship experience before applying to elite colleges is a myth perpetuated by forums like those one and firms looking to make a buck.[/quote]
