Hi everyone,
Thanks for the responses. A couple of things I could have added- I did

Can you check with your Registrar's office or personnel to see if they have
accepted her as a student?
This may be the case of an especially eager student who is totally
organized. Or not...

Hi all,
I may be becoming overly cynical, but I find this email claiming to be from
an incoming freshman highly questionable. I'm wondering if any of you have
heard from Angelina Zhang. I suspect this is a vendor's nom de plume,
since I've never received an email like this from a freshman thinki
