if you have a question about admissions, you might try to find a special contact email address for admissions. i tried emailing the director of admissions at one school and did not get a reply. but then i tried the contact email address for admissions and got a reply within 12 hours. i guess deans and directors dont like to reply to emails because they dont have time or they get too many.

will do....thanks!

i am actually wondering if i should do the same..although what exactly do you say to them if you set up an appointment or call them.

 

[camstah]

well let me know what you do and how it turns out!!

I'd say go ahead and try it. Just be sure that you have enough personalized information so that he knows you arn't just calling every school.

yeah? well, i should probably try it with USC first......i've sent in a bunch of "hey, i loved your school, please let me in!" letters, but i tend to wonder if the admissions committee ever even gets to see them.........maybe i'm wasting my time......but i'm still going to send in a THIRD letter to USC....and maybe email the dean.....see if it works there first....because, well, USC and i were meant to be and it rhymes, so i know it's true
