How do Admissions check emails?

Applying to College

<p>As a high school sophomore, I sent numerous unprofessional emails to professors from various universities asking for assistance (i.e an email interview) on a project of mine. The emails weren't especially rude, but they lacked any sort of sophistication one would expect from a more formal email, and the absurdity of the seemingly-random interview request only made it seem worse. Obviously I am horribly regretting this now as I type this, but onto my main question:</p>

<p>Would an admissions officer search their school database for any emails I have sent them? And if they discovered an email that was decidedly unprofessional (though dated), would that affect one's application?</p>

<p>You’re seriously overthinking this and being paranoid. relax. This is what got you in trouble the first time (the silly email bombing).</p>

<p>yep, they do look at emails. but of course, that is on a case-by-case basis. usually it’s to see if you’re interested in the school. anyway, i do not think admissions officers have access to professors’ emails. so it’s OK. stop worrying about it.</p>
