graduate admissions - Why do potential supervisors not reply to my emails?



I have contacted so far 5 supervisors for my master program that I want to enroll in ( applications open late September and admission January 2017) .



I emailed various faculty in the most polite way possible. Introduced myself, showed that I am interested in pursuing a research career in their field, talked briefly about my achievements but only one supervisor replied. I am not sure why is this happening ? I have attached my transcript ( I am not a high GPA student but I received excellent grades for my thesis and seminar courses).



  • I emailed them this week ( and one hardcore researcher last Friday)


what could be the reason ? note : I am intending to apply for the biomedical engineering program (one I really want to pursue) , most students have engineering undergrad however , I have a biotechnology degree. Could that be the reason? the department said my biotechnology degree is acceptable for that admission purposes.
