It's that wonderful time again and I'm preparing my PhD applications! I have some very basic questions that I've been getting mixed answers on from my various advisors/professors, so I was hoping to get some more input!
1) Including references on my CV for PhD applications. Some samples show references, some don't. I fear that this might be a bit redundant since my 3 references are also the 3 that are providing me with my strong letters of recommendation, so I'm not sure if it's necessary to also add them to my CV. I don't want it to seem as though I'm adding unnecessary fluff.
2) Where to include thesis on my CV--I've seen some put it in their education section under their institution by simply listing the thesis title and the advisor, and some I've seen dedicate a portion of their "research experience" section to their thesis so they can explain it in slightly more detail. Again, I don't want to look like I'm fluffing up my CV to make it appear longer.
3) Emailing POIs--I've gotten completely mixed responses on this one. Some say it's a good idea, some say it's a complete waste of time and can make me seem pushy. I've emailed some if their website didn't say if they were accepting students for Fall 2016, but I'm not if I should contact those whose websites explicitly say they're accepting students.
Thanks everyone!
