I've recently prepared a research proposal for a MPhil program in architecture and am debating whether or not to contact several professors before the final submission to get some feedback. Can anyone tell me if that's expected, or just for the phd research proposals? I'm actually submitting it during the clearing round for admissions at Hong Kong University, so perhaps it's too late for this year... I'm not sure how many clearing round applicants the program will accept.

Thanks for any advice! Also, if anyone has been through this program, it would be great to get some insight - the topic was in previous threads but not the MPhil program in particular.

Cheers!
