Emailed a teacher a week ago and got no reply, should I send the email again?

Text him/her! Demand an immediate response! This is 2010....things move FAST. Make sure it's all about you - all the time! GO NOW!

It is pretty classless to ask for a recommendation through email. The phone number is definitely available, even if you just call the school and ask for their extension.

Either way, LoR from high school teachers immediately become worthless after you get accepted to college unless you did something exceptional outside of the classroom with/for them.

Try again, spam filters sometimes nab e-mails, so carefully word the message/subject. Also, my wife teaches (college) and she gets many hundreds of e-mails a day, so it is hard to get through things and some messages get dropped. Finally, Profs are quite busy and writing recommendations takes a bit of time, so it is a bit of a burden and, even if they do it, it might take until they get a breather. High school teachers will probably think that this is less their job than profs. You might also contact the school counselor, who probably handle things like this.

Try again, suggest that s/he just simply reply to indicate that they got the message if they are too busy to attend to it now. Also, if it is going to be 'no' have them let you know

If your teacher does not reply to the e-mail I would certainly not trust him/her to actually write and mail the recommendation.

i completely disagree. i actually prefer when students ask me for rec letters via email because it doesn't put me on the spot to answer immediately.

I need the HS recommendations because I've only been in college for a few weeks and it asks for recommendations from teachers you have had for a longer period of time.

Call your high school's main office. Ask to leave a message for the teacher. Leave your contact informatino and a brief voicemail indicating that you are following up on an e-mail and would like to speak with him or her.

Could I resend the email, wait another 2 days, and then do thaT?

Okay so I emailed the teacher 2-3 days ago again, no reply. So I should call, but how should I word it?

Hi _____, I'd just like to follow up on an email I sent you recently that I hope reached you. I'm just checking to see if you received the email and I would appreciate it if you could reply sometime in the near future. Thanks, (my name).

Should I leave my email address? Does this sound polite?

Did you attach a powerpoint presentation?

I am a high school teacher and personally if I get a question asking for a letter of recommendation I am more than willing to write it but you have to give me a bit of time. I try to accomodate those students who waited until the last minute but to be honest sometimes I tell them that hey with coaching and stuff I just don't know if I will be able to get it done in the amount of time you need it.

I would call the school some teachers don't use email or use different ones and as some have said it could just be swamped by others. If you call and get no response move on to another person.

Well I did email this teacher once or twice when I was in their class in high school and they replied back. So I don't know why I'm not getting any reply now. I am willing to wait, but I haven't even gotten a reply back saying if they will do it or not which is what is irking me. So should I call and leave a message like I outlined above?

Yes! Speaking as a college prof, this is exactly the right way to handle it. There are any number of reasons why the teacher may not have followed up. The most likely is simply overwork and forgetfulness. The teacher is probably willing to offer a recommendation, maybe even happy to do so, but probably has a To-Do list several pages long. The squeaky wheel, as long as it remains businesslike, is more likely to get the grease.
