Recently I started emailing several college admissions offices as "June Snapple." This one really tried to help a girl out.

I used multiple email accounts under different names, so pay attention to the email headers.

June,

Please note the application deadlines listed online. The application deadlines for the fall semester have already passed. You may apply for the following semester by submitting the material listed on the website.

June,

We appreciate your interest. The website lists in detail how to submit an application with this university. Emailing the admissions office will not be adequate for submitting an application. Again, until you submit an application appropriately and as described on the website, we will not consider your application.

I also want to stress that we have high standards for our admitted students. Excellent high school academic performance is crucial for serious consideration. Please research this and your other options well before applying in order to make the best decisions possible for you.

Dear Admissions Office,

I am June Snapple's most recent employer and I would like to write a letter on her behalf, recommending her to your program. I have known June for many years and she has been in my employ for all of that time. In those years, I have never known anyone to work as diligently or as intelligently as June. June always takes great initiative. She has excellent communication skills. She is personally tasked with all outgoing communication from the office. June also single-handedly writes the company newsletter. I am certain she will be a great addition to your school.

Very Truly Yours

Paul Snapple

Dear Mr. Snapple,

Thank you for your email on behalf of June Snapple. June has communicated with our office a number of times now. We have repeatedly explained to her to check the website for application deadlines and procedure. Our office does not accept applications or letters of recommendation via email. It appears that June is not understanding our direction. Perhaps you could talk with her and help her understand.

Subject:Re: June Snapple, Recommendation

Valerie,

This doesn't surprise me at all. It sounded a little too good to be true. June told her mother and I that she was already accepted to your university and that you merely needed an emailed letter of recommendation from me in order for her to have a "complete" file.

I want to be completely honest with you. I exaggerated a little bit in my letter concerning June. And I know it's unethical, but I'm actually June's father, not her employer. My wife and I don't typically let June write a lot of the family newsletter because she's a very slow typist and we just don't have the time. We REALLY really want June to go to college this fall because we want the house to not have her in it anymore.

Is there anything that can be done? Perhaps a donation to the University?

Paul,

The only thing I can tell you to do is to review the material online and have June submit an application if she is interested. I told June that there is a high standard here for admitted students. If this school is not a good fit for June, there may certainly be other options out there for her.

Subject:Re: June Snapple, Recommendation

Valerie,

I completely understand where you are coming from. I hate to impose, but I don't know what else to do. June will be so crushed if she finds out that she did not get in to your university. Her heart is set on it and she's been telling everyone she already got accepted. She has even dyed her hair red in honor of your school color. Would it be ok if you sent her a fake acceptance letter? You could just email her and say she is accepted. Then we'll send her off to work on my brother's dairy farm in the fall. She won't know the difference. She still believes the stork story.

Subject: Re: Help a gurl out?!

June,

I am so sorry, but again, you have already missed the application deadline for this fall. We are not able to admit you as an incoming student. You will not be a student here. Please do not make a trip to visit this school. I have been communicating with your father. Please talk to him before you attempt to come and visit.
