I like it pa
God bless you Dr muyiwa

Thanks a lot Doc. Your tips have been helpful. I have sent a couple of emails for the past months for a Masters supervisions, but most ended up with saying “Sorry but current there is no Vacancy for MSc position” or no reply. Can I ask you a favor? Would you mind reading one of mails in case I missed a tip or done a mistake. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for this guidelines. My question is how long do we wait for a response ?
Thank you Dr Igbalajobi. This video has been helpful in many ways. Please I would want to know if is a good idea to include the year in which you want to take the masters degree or PHD . For instance, You type in your email that " I would want to pursue this research in spring or fall 2023 academic year.
Thank you Dr Muyiwa, Should we send the cold mail before offer or after the offer?
Thanks so much for this information Dr. Am a graduate of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development,and planning to go for my masters soon but I heard instead of going for masters for a year or two years I should go for my PhD straight away for like 5years,pls permit me to ask how possible is this? I felt is like am omitting a stage to another stage,if is possible pls kindly shed more light on it and how to go about it sir. Thank u very much once again as I await your response
Thank you so much for this Doc, very explanatory. Please sir, would you be open to helping me view my draft?
GOOD Day Sir, I'm glad I stumbled on your youtube page. I'm interested in doing a PhD in pathology and laboratory medicine in British Columbia university and I found a professor whose research interest is very similar to mine. i don't know if you could help me with the cold email. I have drafted something but I just need it to be checked before I send it. i would be grateful if you could be of help, sir. thank you in anticipation.
Thank you very much sir. How does one sign the cold email then, if automated signature is to be avoided?
Thank you
Thank you Doc… Please help me with the list of documents to be attached to the cold emails.
Thank you Dr. Muyiwa. I've been following your tips for months now and I must say they've been very helpful. I was recently awarded a Commonwealth scholarship and I just want to know the best time to start applying for a PhD programme. I'm a bit concerned about starting too early, being that I'm just starting my MSc. and might not have much to say about my study experience. I'd appreciate your thoughts here. Thank you. Adedoyin.

Can you please make a review video of Mystrika. The tool seems quite affordable for cold email, looks decent at first look but not enough information in public domain.
Thank you for the useful tips. Please Dr could you provide a written sample of a cold email..
Thank you so much for the information. I am currently planning to write to a potential supervisor in partial fulfilment of my application needs. I studied Biochemistry but I would love to further my masters in Microbiology. But my project research topic is quite different from his laboratory’s interest which I would love to research on. Do I just focus on his laboratory research and build my interest around it or do I look elsewhere for a supervisor in line with my undergraduate research work.

Dear Dr. Olumuyiwa, I hope my write up finds you in the very best of health. A very great piece the video is. Most of my concerns have been ironed out for me. However I am considering if the professor will not consider your attached document for the first time as a hack. Thank you for the help in advance.
Thank you Doc. Please what's the best way to reply a rejection mail form a potential supervisor after you've sent your cold email.
Thanks a lot
Thanks so much Dr. However, I need a little clarity, this cold email is it meant to be attached as a PDF document or am I suppose to write directly as an email?. Thanks
Thank you Dr., I just found your page and I want to thank you for this information, it is really helpful. My question is this, I am a master's degree holder of architecture and I am seeking for PhD scholarship openings in canada. Could you give me any pointers sir? I am in the process of compiling a list of professors to send cold emails to but I would appreciate your help as well sir.

The best shot is to reach out to Professors in your field.
I'd be lying if I said I did not learn a lot in just 9:33 minutes. Thank you very much for this piece. I'd be very glad if you can tell us what document could be attached to this email.

Thank you very much sir. I'm a fresh graduate, I studied Chemistry Education and I want to study Chemistry for MSc./Ph.D. How can I go about writing a cold email on this. My bachelor's thesis seems far from what a professor will be researching. What can I do?
Thank you so much, Dr Muyiwa, for this insightful video. Please, I have a question. For someone who has started a PhD in his home country and wish to apply for another PhD abroad, in an area a bit different from the one you are researching on presently, is it advisable to mention that you have already started a PhD (in my second year), but want to switch to the potential professor's area? For instance, I am currently a PhD student in natural product chemistry in a Nigerian university, but I am applying for a PhD in medicinal chemistry abroad. So far, I have sent few cold emails to profs for advertised positions in medicinal chemistry, and I mentioned that I have started a PhD in natural product chemistry. One of the profs responded that my background fits best in natural product chemistry. Please, should I stop mentioning my current research experience in natural product in my sop and cv? The gap in my research journey will be so wide (about 6 years I finished my master's program) if I don't capture what I'm doing currently. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.

I would mention the PhD year as research associate position. It may be a red flag since most PI would require that you strongly state why you intend to leave your current program.

Thank you so much, Dr Muyiwa. Let me quickly change that section of my CV and SOP to research associate position. Thank you so much for your quick response.

Kindly bear with me, Dr. Where do I capture the research associate in my CV because I'm an academic staff of a uni. Should it come under research experience, professional training, work experience or volunteering experience? Please, kindly suggest where it is suitable to appear.
Thank you Dr. Olumuyiwa for this video. Please, I want to know if I can send cold emails to 2 professors in the same department

Hi, can you let us know how long to wait for the response of the professor and what to do if they dont respond?
Thanks Prof. I've a question, What's the best way to put my cgpa in my email even so it's not so high?
What if the supervisor request for a specific information like research experience and reason to for the proposed research course, do you need to attach other documents or just be specific
Hello Mr muyiwa,thanks you so much for the knowledge shared.Please sir I am a graduate of microbiology and I intend going for my masters,I do not have much expertise and I dont knw how to go about it sir.

Thanks Dr. Muyiwa, Mine is request for reference letter years after my first degree. What should be the subject of my email
Hello Dr. Please My undergraduate Project (software development) is different from my current interest (network automation), that what I am currently working on, in my place of work. Dr, please how will you advice to make it work in my cold email. Thank You So Much, For Everything You Do!!!! Remain Truly Blessed, Sir.
Hi, can we include our LOR from previous university in the mail to the professor whom we are requesting for supervision?
Thanks Dr. for your insightful video. How long should one wait for your prospective supervisor to respond to your mail? Because i contacted 3 professors since 5 days now, but only one got back telling me she isnt taking more phd students again.

Hello Dr. Please what if your research topic in school doesn't align with current research interest how do I go about it. I finished school since 2016 and want to apply for my masters.
Very informative content, please i need your guidance on a subject... my wife is a graduate of biomedical technology, and has a masters in public health, but she has interest in nursing, please can she practice after an msc in nursing in canada?
Sir, thank you alot for all you do on twitter as well here too. Thank you so much. I had not really a high cgpa (3.60/5) don't it think it dents my chances outrightly mentioning my cgpa at the introductory stage? Any reply would help me thank you in advance
