I have applied to a couple of Universities and I know you need to build up a repore with professors by contacting this.  This is an email I wanted to send out to one of the professors based on reading his work and bio.  I decided to go personal just to stand out that I'm not just another number.  Not sure if this is a good idea or bad one, which is why I'm letter your work your magic!  Thanks,<br /><br />Stephanie Platt
