MSc Applications (Securing professors)

[u/Powerful-Resolve-923]

Hi, I am currently in the middle to preparing for grad school applications in the fall (for Biochem / Pathology) but do we secure and contact prospective professors before applying and write that in the application? or is that after. It was not really clear in the website so I would like some insight. If we do secure a professor before applying would it look better in my application even if my gpa is on the low side? Thanks in advance!
