Frustrating Application Problem

<p>Hey guys. So I am applying to the Academy. Online, you are suppose to submit three teachers’ email addresses so that the Academy can send them a recommendation form to fill out. I submitted three emails a long time ago (July)…and nothing happened. I thought, maybe because it is summer. However, after lots of frustration and many calls to my admissions counselor, nothing has changed. We resubmitted the emails so that they supposedly sent new ones on 9/20. However, I checked will all three teachers, and none of them received the emails. We looked in their inbox, junk, deleted folders…everything. For some strange reason, this email thing is not working for me.</p>

<p>Anybody have a similar problem or a solution? They said that they can’t send a hard copy. I just don’t know what to do, and I think my admissions counselor is running out of ideas as well.</p>

<p>Any help is greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>how long ago did you resend them? it can sometimes take a while for your teachers to recieve the e-mail</p>

<p>The most recent email was sent on 9/20/06, but I was thinking email was usually fast... I may have no choice, but to wait.</p>

<p>Is it possible that your school's server has placed them in a spam folder. I would suggest speaking to each of your selected teachers about the delay. I would then ask for each of their personal e-mails. Personally call your admissions contact with the new e-mail addresses. </p>

<p>Best to you,</p>

<p>My son is applying for admission in the class of 2011. He is also having trouble with teachers receiving the e-mail to submit evaluations. His teachers checked for the e-mail in their spam and blocked e-mail folders. They never received the e-mail even though the application page says they were sent. His admissions counselor at the AFA did send us hard copies of the evaluation forms to give to his teachers. My advice is to call your AFA admissions counselor and ask for the hard copies again.</p>

<p>Interesting. Sounds like the same exact problem. Except my counselor said they wouldn't send us hard copies. I will definitely call again and ask.</p>

<p>P.S. I personally sat down with all three teachers and checked all the folders for their email addresses and they did not receive it.</p>

<p>If the email is being blocked by your schools email server you will need to contact the network administrator and have them locate the blocked emails on the server. I don't think you'll be able to see the blocked emails from your teachers computer/email account. This has always been my experience when someone says they sent an email to me and I don't receive it.</p>

<p>My son is experiencing a similiar situation. Two out of the three got the emails. We've reset and resent the third one twice now and still nothing showing up. If they weren't all three going to the same email server, I would have suspected a spam filter getting in the way.</p>

<p>I guess we'll call the counselor and see if we can get a hard copy.</p>

<p>Tow Truck,</p>

<p>How about asking your admissions counselor if they will send it electronically to your school's fax machine instead? Is that an option?</p>

<p>Or maybe ... ask the AFA for their email address so the teachers can email the academy itself ... this sounds frustrating; good luck!</p>

<p>Ah finally. They sent me hard copies. Wooh.</p>
