Should I talk to a professor early?!

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hi guys, I founded an aviation club at my school. Long story's short, it's very successful, and a couple professors from UNT and other schools have emailed me, interested in what has happened and giving me advice. My question is, can I email a professor first? My dream school is rice, and I'd love to talk to a professor in the aerospace engineering program about advice, suggestions, or recommendations for the future of both the club and myself. Plus, it might help my chances of getting in. </p>

<p>Long story short, should I talk to them and try to start a convo, or are they too busy or too important to talk to a high schooler? I'm not just trying to get in easier, I genuinely care about his/her opinions. What do you think?!
Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, is there any specific people you would suggest talking to?</p>

<p>If you care about the professors opinions go for it (I have a couple friends who have done similar things), though it won’t help your chances. Contact the professor whose work most directly relates to your interests…</p>
