<p>I've emailed a couple of universities certain doubts regarding their admission processes...</p>
<p>but none of them have responded and it's been two weeks.</p>
<p>Is this normal uni behaviour?</p>
<p>Depending on the size of the school, you’re not likely to get a quick response if you send email to the general admissions address. You’ll have better luck emailing the specific admissions officer who represents your area. If it’s really urgent, just call.</p>
<p>Be sure you have thoroughly searched for the answers to your questions on the websites of the colleges you are applying to before you email. When reviewing applications, the last thing you want is for admissions readers to remember you as the one who kept emailing with questions easily answered with a few minutes of research. And yes, it is normal behavior for them to take a great deal of time to anwer. Looking at your university list from other posts, each of them is currently fielding panicked questions (most of which are answered on the websites) from thousands and thousands of potential applicants. 2009 will likely be the biggest group of college applicants in history - it will be easy for legitimate questions and concerns to get lost in all of that.</p>
<p>On an entirely different subject: Are you international? Or is your phrasing and spelling an affectation/tribute to Laurie?</p>
<p>Do you think applying ED to a school really increases chances of acceptance significantly? I would think if you’re clearly not up to par, ED won’t make much difference. To me its just a way to find out early so you don’t have to put so much effort into other schools when you know you really just want to go to the one you applied to ED.</p>
