Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. You background looks like a great fit to our XXX PhD program, and your track record is impressive. I strongly encourage you to apply to our XXX program and/or other programs at XXX.

I don't have a clear plan for student recruiting next cycle. Further, our XXX students are not tied to an advisor for the first year or two. Instead, rotations are required. I'd be happy to chat with you once you are admitted.

Regards,


그냥 지원해보고 되면 그때 연락 달란 뜻이겠죠?
만약 지원한다면 이분덕에 뽑힐 확률이 올라갈 순 있을까요?
