<p>I decided to change my major but I don't know much about my new major and I didn't even know where to start with major requirement courses and my adviser wasn't helpful so I emailed random professors on the faculty list. i picked two of them and sent them exactly same email asking for advice. I thought professors might be busy and not read emails or something that's why I sent emails to two professors instead of one.....but they both replied saying they will help however. one of the professors forwarded my email to another professor because she thought the other professor can give me better advice as the other professor is the chair of the department.....however, I had already sent the exact same email to the professor that she forwarded email to...... So now the professors know I just copied and pasted and sent them exactly same emails.. Is this bad??????? Will they not wanna help me anymore ?!...</p>
<p>Omg. They don’t care. Seriously.</p>
<p>Think of it this way; you already sent the email so there’s nothing you can do about it now. But no, they won’t care.</p>
<p>They won’t care. Stop freaking out.</p>
<p>If it bugs you that much, just explain to the first professor/dept chair when you meet that you were afraid you wouldn’t receive any responses because of their busy schedules. (And then thank him/her profusely for taking the time to meet with you.)</p>
<p>I would be more worried about first impressions if advising information about your major was already up on the department website. Often, each department appoints at least one faculty member to advise and/or oversee undergraduate education, and that information should be readily available on the website. (But that may not be true in your case.)</p>
<p>The emails won’t bother either professor.
What will bother them is the fact that you know nothing about your new major or its requirements…
How did you choose this major? If you know nothing about it?
And don’t waste professors’ time with questions that are easily answered on the website that lists required courses, etc.</p>
<p>lifegr-
Since it is almost finals time, professors are busy.
You are best served at Academic Advising.
Unless they are dept.chairman why would they know what a major’s requirements are?
Thoroughly read the school’s website for the info you need.
No one is going to hold your hand and help you decide what to do.
Man up.</p>
<p>You could just say that you were looking for different perspectives, etc. on different classes, opportunities, etc.</p>
<p>lolol, it’s college, they’re your professors. It’s not like you’re trying to date them…</p>
<p>Relax your seeking out information, nothing wrong with that. Its nice that they are willing to help or direct you to someone who can. Do you think your the first one thats emailed them for information? They likely deal with a dozen emails a day, at worst they will just say “I can’t help you”</p>
<p>Here’s some comfort: I emailed my premed advisor like crazy harassing him to get into my classes. I thought he would think I was crazy. Well when I finally met him face to face and said sorry about all the emails, he looked at me confused and said he doesn’t remember because he gets about 300-400 emails a day. The same for another professor. Relax and get the info you need. They are there to help you.</p>
