<p>Hi,
I am a third (final) year undergraduate student in the UK and currently applying for MS in Aerospace in 5 Unis in the US.
Going through the Stanford's application, I am asked if I have had any contact with any member of the faculty.
Although my research is quite similar to that of an associate professor, I have never contacted him. Do you suggest me to send him an e-mail?
If so, how would I approach him? Am I just supposed to say "I am interested in your programme and research bla bla bla?" I haven't actually got any question and not sure if I should ask him how to join his research group etc since is just an MS and not a PhD.
Any suggestions?? :(</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
