Current grad students will def be able to answer this question. How do you approach a potential advisor you are interested to work with? How do yo setup the first contact? What should the email etiquette be like?

Also should you take the advisor's age into account? What happened if he/she suddenly retires soon after you start working with him/her?

If possible could you give what a sample email ought to be like to contact this advisor ?

Sorry if these questions are silly, I figure some of you guys have been through this process and, therefore, might be willing to share your experience.

Thank you
