| ### Messaging | ||
| I receive many inquiries from prospective students and am unable to reply to all of them. Some notes: | ||
| - I do not require prospective students to contact me prior to applying. | ||
| - I will try to reply to emails that contain **specific questions** about the fit of a students research interests with the lab. | ||
| - I will also reply to specific emails that are asking about competitive external or URI fellowship opportunities where I can serve as a reference. | ||
| - I primarily use these emails for extra information when reading graduate applications, to make your e-mail easy to find, use the subject, `Prospective ML4STS Lab member - <MS/PhD>` with the appropriate degree based on what you are applying to selected and send your e-mail to `brownsarahm+ml4sts@uri.edu`. These emails can be favorable if you send something personal about why you want to join the lab, but **I cannot assess your application via email**. | ||
| - URI CS Graduate Programs do not use GRE scores, **please do not send them to me**. If you email these to me, I will not read the rest of your message. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Meetings | ||
| I will only meet with prospective students in the following conditions: | ||
| - I have a funded position I am recruiting for, as indicated above | ||
| - The Student is eligible for and applying to a competitive external fellowship (eg NSF GRFP) that requires support from a prospective advisor | ||
| - The student has been admitted and is trying to decide to attend URI or not |
