Questions for Vietnamese students
Should Vietnamese students email professors before applying for PhD programs abroad?
Yes. In many European and Asian systems, prior supervisor communication greatly improves chances.
What makes professors more responsive to Vietnamese applicants?
A concise, well-written email showing direct research fit and attaching CV and publication links.
Is it appropriate for Vietnamese students to follow up if a professor does not reply?
Yes — one polite follow-up after 7–10 days is generally acceptable.
Should Vietnamese applicants include GPA conversion when emailing professors?
Yes. Providing the grading scale helps professors quickly assess academic performance.
Do Vietnamese students need a full research proposal in the first email?
Usually not — a short research summary is preferred initially, with full proposals shared later if requested.
