<p>Nil,</p>
<p>I just noticed this thread. If you still haven’t heard anything, you might want to network your way in. Talk with your teachers at high school (email them over the summer) and see if they can write the profs on your behalf. </p>
<p>If you belong to a church, synagogue or other trans-generational organization, sleuth out if there is anyone who has connections with the university and would introduce you to the professors.</p>
<p>Some professors are unfriendly, some are away traveling, some are overwhelmed with mentoring their current students, so if you are not successful, do not take it personal. Even so, be respectful and persistent. </p>
<p>You might also find out if their are special high school programs with that university. Once fall term starts, find out if there are departmental lecture series or email lists that you can subscribe to so as to stay in the loop.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
