Annual reminder: Mass emailing professors with an unsolicited copy of your CV, transcript, etc is not an effective (or polite) way to apply to graduate school. There's an application process for a reason, and you need to follow it to be considered.
If you have specific questions for a specific professor, by all means contact them, but the mass email we all get (peaking this time of year), mostly from abroad just wastes everyone's time and risks giving you a bad reputation.
