<p>Does anyone think that if I emailed a professor (with some questions, input, a little about me and why I'm interested etc) that I really aspire to take classes from, they would possibly put a good word in for me to the admissions office? Would it help and have you ever heard of anyone doing this and being successful?</p>
<p>the thing is.. </p>
<p>in short, i have amazing ec's, recs, supplementals, writing, etc etc and most demanding course load in IB school etc etc all of that</p>
<p>BUT, i have cr560 m640 w710 (sat2- math1 690, math2 620), and a 3.9 weighted gpa</p>
<p>...not that great. i get nervous on tests.. end of story. but i do really well in school. straight a's with a few floating b's.. mostly in science and math. </p>
<p>so, do you think that instead, I can write the the dean of admissions explaining that I am passionate about the school and know I will thrive there? This wouldn't hurt right?</p>
<p>I doubt it the profressor will be so free to call the adcoms.. You could have emailed the professors earlier and mention it in the why swat?</p>
<p>I agree, profs tend to be very reticent to write letters of support, especially for specs with whom they have had minimal contact.</p>
