Send cold emails to professors for research inquiries

Sent 5 cold emails to universities and got 2 responses in less than 48 hours

What I wish I knew
"Professors prefer to hear about the student's interests and goals over just their research"
If I could tell you one thing
"Use a personal touch and be clear about your intentions to increase the chances of a response"
