<p>If I email a college admissions officer about the importance of high school rankings will that annoy them?</p>
<p>note: I already emailed them a quesiton about admissions a couple weeks ago.</p>
<p>Im only a junior too.</p>
<p>I’d avoid emailing them with questions that can be answered by doing some research (try the school’s admissions website; then the CC forum for the college). You don’t want to be branded a pest before you even apply. Better to develop your independent research skills.</p>
<p>They’ll probably just give you the usual “we look at everything on the application” spiel, so don’t bother. It might seem a bit annoying (sort of like “can I still get in with bad SAT scores?”).</p>
<p>What if you email them about a summer program at their school?</p>
<p>I want to go to Caltech and am interested in their YESS program.
will asking them about it and any tips they have on applying make me seem like a nuisance?</p>
<p>Nuisance? Absolutely. What do they have to do with a summer program? It’s like someone asking you the docking procedures for the space station.</p>
<p>Find the appropriate literature or website and contact *those *people.</p>
