Don't worry about it man. If they don't respond, it's no biggie.

Re: Do B-schools have email blacklists? [#permalink]
Our email blacklist isn't updated until after each round, so I wouldn't worry. Just kiddin. There is no blacklist.

That doesn't mean people always reply, just watch what you ask and how you ask it. A guy a while back asked me to read his essays and comment, and he kept referring to the school by the wrong name in his essays. I can't say I found that particularly motivating to find the time to help him.

Also, leadership roles may have recently turned over to 1st years, so its just possible they are going into the void because they are reaching a totally different set of people who either don't know what to reply, haven't sorted out who is going to reply, etc.

Thanks -- I guess a little paranoia sets in after six months of apps.

Texas is really making me wait out what I assume will be a rejection, it's no fun.

You read the essays? Someone emails me with essays that I dont know then I dont think I would waste my time. I find that very rude...I mean I read essays for some folks on here but thats different than some unknown person emailing me.

Re: Do B-schools have email blacklists? [#permalink]
We had someone send the same email to eight people who clearly would be able to speak to each other. Demanding a response ASAP, using capitals, bold, colors and everything. It was pretty amazing.

I dare say he won't be attending school here.

It is worth bearing in mind that the information network at a school can work very efficiently if you piss people off, and they can go out of their way to make life difficult for you. It is very, very rare though. I can only think of the one event that really overstepped the mark, and I have read or answered over 1000 emails this year. So don't worry, just people are busy and sometimes don't know what they got themselves into. It is tricky to answer all the emails.
