Don't Confuse the Professor

Common mistakes that people do while contacting a professor

I feel like a lot of people misunderstood my previous post about searching for a Ph.D. scholarship in Canada. The purpose of contacting a supervisor is to ask them to supervise your Ph.D. thesis. When someone asks a professor for a Ph.D admission instead of supervision it not just confuses the professor but also their response is generic i.e. Apply directly to the university. If you asked a professor for admission and they advised you to apply directly to the department that doesn’t mean in any sense that the professor is willing to support your application.
