Alex,<br /><br />Consider writing that letter not only to the Dean but also to the professors&nbsp;whose classes you want to take.<br /><br />Another idea is to write the letter, print it on good paper, and send it by regular mail along with a business/personal card. This puts your name and plan in print in their hands.<br /><br />If you choose this option, then follow up with an email to all recipients.<br /><br />Keep me in the loop.<br /><br />Jackson<br /><br />
