If your email address has cutie or hottie or anything that can make the adcom awkward typing, you might want to ditch it and use a special one just for college admissions.

Also please please PLEASE remember that if you are emailing an admissions officer it is still formal correspondence so do not say “hey so did u guys get my entire application yet or are u still waiting for the bribe lol”. Pretend you’re writing a letter. Use a formal salutation, do not use internet lingo and please sign your name. College admissions officers do not have your email addresses memorized so if you tell them something and dont sign it even if its a reply - how are they supposed to know it is you?

Summary: when talking to your friends, email as you want. When email an adcom, pretend you’re writing them a short letter.
