>>11492643>Labs are filled with indians and cute girlsHaha this is absolutely true. I had a ton of trouble finding labs. Here's what I would do:
1. Find a couple professors you really like. I mean really like. Find their research, read one of their papers, and write them a fucking wall of text about how great they are and your personal inspiration and make sure you're describing their research correctly, show you understand it. Send.
2. They will not respond. Send the same email the next day and just say, "hey just following up, did you get my email?" or something
3. When they don't respond to that, find their room number or office and bother them in real life, ask them if they got your email. They'll probably feel too bad to tell you no right away so just end on a good note and say you'll come back later
4. come back later
I'm fairly confident that, at one of these steps, at least 50% of professors will take you. You just have to be annoying and borderline arrogant. It's how all these professors got their jobs and it's how you'll get yours.
