Be
professional in all contacts with representatives from your
colleges and universities.
You must give a professional impression to all contacts with
your colleges and universities. This includes E-mails,
telephone and face-to-face conversations, written correspondence,
message boards and blogs. Your professionalism (or lack
thereof) will be noted and factored into the admission decision.
In addition, your parents should be courteous and respectful
in all contacts with your colleges and universities.
E-mail Etiquette
Proper etiquette must be exercised with E-mail correspondence. In
E-mails, students typically use language that has no place
in professional correspondence. In addition, misuse or
overuse of common abbreviations (btw, im writing 2 plz ask
u 4 admission) can affect an admissions officer’s decision
regarding your acceptance.
Your E-mail account should be appropriate as well. Receiving
an E-mail from love2party@hotmail.com or bewildwithme@yahoo.com will
only raise questions with admissions officers.
Address E-mail correspondence to “Dear Mr. A” or “Dear
Ms. B”; don’t use first names or nicknames. Use
spell check on your E-mails and attachments before sending them
electronically.
