<p>Is it a good idea to contact professors in a program that you want to be a part of? I know graduate school applications are a whole new ball game. But will this help my chances? What is a good way to start email correspondence with then? If this is kosher... Does it depend on the field of interest? I don't want to seem creepy or strange if I do try to contact them... I need advice here please!!</p>
<p>It’s a great idea but make sure you have something solid that you can bring up (related experiences, interest in what they study and so on).</p>
