Emailing Deans?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys,
I emailed my regional officer at Upenn and she responded. I then responded to her response with 2 more questions 20 days ago and haven't recieved a response. Do you think it's a good idea to email her the same thing again and say something like this;</p>

<p>Dear Ms. xxxxxx,
I responded to your last email but I'm not sure if it was sent or not. Here is a copy of what I tried sending before.</p>

<p>DO you guys think that is a good way to start the email? I don't want to hound the dean but she hasn't responded.</p>

<p>just be patient, deans are busy people and they have alot of things on their plate.</p>

<p>Hmm alrighty then…</p>

<p>I disagree with sstewart. </p>

<p>Deans are busy people but at least a courtesy email of “I am very busy and will respond to your email when I have more time” is much more polite.</p>

<p>20 days is a very long time for someone not to reply so I would say send it again. You have given someone three weeks and almost 15 business days to reply, especially from someone whose main duty at this point in the year is to talk to prospective applicants through recruiting tours, etc.</p>

<p>I feel like she may have missed the email because it would show up in her account as:
Re:Re:Re: Admissions question</p>

<p>This could easily appear as spam… I sent the replie to her email on 8-19-10, is it too early to respond again?</p>

<p>Also while your reading this, did I jsut use “too” right or would that be “to”?</p>

<p>That’s only been 15 says, hasn’t it? I would wait another couple days and maybe next Monday send your question again. I don’t think they would mind if you sent it twice if they still haven’t responded. You used “too” correctly :)</p>

<p>Good to here! A 36 in english on my ACT would be epic!</p>

<p>It’s the beginning of the semester at many colleges and deans are very busy helping students with pressing problems. That may be why you haven’t gotten a reply yet.</p>

<p>What kind of questions are you asking? Make sure they aren’t answered in the website because it can irritate faculty and adcoms to be asked questions that are answered on the college’s site or that appear to be asked by a student who hopes that asking questions will boost their admissions chances.</p>

<p>Northstar, I’m asking more personal questions, not like “will I get in” but things like will my job constiute as a good EC.</p>

10

<p>Haha, UVAorBust, “Good to here” Funny (intentional right?)</p>

11

<p>No not intentional, tbh I didn’t even know that I wrote that lol. I just argued a kid that “one’s” does not mean one is. Crap, is “good too here” right? or was my “to” right because I just put here retardidly :O</p>

12

<p>No, its “good to HEAR” not here. LOL.</p>

13

<p>Hear, not here. :slight_smile: It’s all good. Everybody has those moments :D</p>
