response time

[seonagh]

Hello all,
About 2 months ago I sent some inquiring emails to the contact us for admissions email that is on the website for Dal Med. I have not yet heard a response. Not even so much as a we got your message and will answer in XX hours or days -- heck even weeks. Is this normal?
The questions were perfectly valid and in regards to admission requirements etc. I chalked it up to being their busy time of year but now I'm worried by the fact that it does not seem very professional for a university to just plain not respond to an email. Is this typical Dal behavior? Is there a trick to getting advice, especially for mature and non trad applicants from the admissions dept.
Thanks,
Sheena

I think that probably your message did not get through. I wouldn't say that they are not professional based soley on the email, send another one off with your questions, or ask them here!..
