Why oh why don't people reply to their emails? This is making me so stressed out. They don't seem to think it is important to reply to their emails when I am sitting here in a panic waiting for them to get back to me. Please wont one of the people I emailed get back to me, just one?

I'm sorry you're having trouble getting answers in email; is there any other way you can contact these people? I know I have 6-10 email addresses and don't get to all of them as often as I "should". Some of them I have set up for special reasons and I don't work on that project as much as others. If they're professors/teachers/tutors, I'm sure they probably have a zillion other students emailing them too as well as their regular work they do so it might take some time to get an email, like getting an assignment graded/returned.

I hope you hear soon though! From somebody

(((googley)))

Sorry that you're sitting around waiting to be e-mailed by school folk.

Are they specific Q's that only they can answer? Perhaps you can get your answers from someone else. Like: a tutor, assistant professor, other students in the same class(es). Worth a shot! Some professors are real good about returning calls and e-mails, others don't do it at all. In my experience, those ones that aren't real good usually do warn at the beginning of the semester.

Hope that you get the answers that you're looking for soon!

There is a prof I took a class from and asked for a letter of recommendation from who never got back to me. He works with a specific plant so I sent him an email and made the subject the genus of the plant he works on lol He responded very quickly and then asked if someone had told me to do that to get a response haha.

Any other way to contact them googley, perhaps by phone?

Unfortunately with emails, for some reason many emails sent to me wind up in my junk mail. Then if I actually do GET the emails, I sometimes forget to respond when I'm just reading emails. Or the big ugly "procrastination" comes... and then I'm pretty much doomed.

I hope they reply to you ASAP! Maybe send them another one if they haven't replied in 72 hours and it's time sensitive?
