Dear XX XX XX
Thank you for your interest in my Lab.
As you know, I plan to recruit MS/PhD students this year.
If you want to join our lab, you need to have an online interview with me.
After the interview, you will receive some feedback from me about a week or two weeks later.
In this stage, I can not tell you that I will accept you as my MS student even if you make a good impression on me. This is because there is still time left until the UST admission deadline, and there is a possibility that you won't receive an admission from UST or that other applicants may contact me during the period.
What I can tell you for sure is that I will consider your application with a high priority if you show me that you are a passionate individual with a strong will and self-motivated.
P.S. If you want to have an interview with me, please send me a copy of full transcript so that I can figure out which subjects you have taken.
Regards,
