IELTS and "spam" for prospective supervisors
T

Hi,

I am biochemistry undergraduate (BSc expected next summer), currently looking for postgraduate studentship (PhD preferred). I have put my CV at jobs.nature.com, newscientist.com, made a website with other docs (grades, recommendations, personal statement, etc.)... I also write emails to supervisors I am interested in, paste a link to my docs... What other methods would you suggest to hunt an interesting research project, supervisor, and studentship?

As I am from Eastern Europe, I am going to take an IELTS exam. Are there any folks from admission side? How is important my low score if I have supervisor who is interested in me, I have excellent grades, even scientific publication? May universities tolerate this?

I thank you in advance for your answers!
