Thumper, not having emails returned is an issue we have been having, and I don’t quite know how to read this. Part of me gets annoyed, since I think the same as your son, “if this is how they treat their students…”, but then again, we aren’t yet in the position to be throwing schools out based on their lack of etiquette.

What is a usual turn around time, and when to follow up? DS wrote both to conservatory admissions and two professors at one school about two weeks ago…heard back from neither. He heard from one professor, but not another, at a different school. It just seems like such bad PR to me, to igore potential students like this… and I read his emails, which were short and to the point, and didn’t ask for much, except to tell when we were visiting and whether it would be possible to meet with them.

Sorry to hijack…I can post this separately, if need be (but son is also a junior, so it kind of fits!)
