Hi Dr. R, what's up? I know you know this by now, but I didn't get a high enough grade in [part 1], at least that's what the registrar said. If you could please let me into your [part 2] class, I promise I will try hard. If the department still wants me to take [part 1] next fall, I totally will take it. Just please let me take this class so I can be a doctor just like my dad.
Thanx,
Undergrad
Best. Email. Ever.
Okay, so probably not, but I, like, totally enjoyed the fact that Undergrad thought that department's concern was not that Undergrad learned the material well enough to continue on in part 2, but that the student received a passing grade. Since it's, um, you know, a competition among departments as to which has the higher overall GPA. Ha.
I'm sure you've gotten an even more fabulous email from a student, coworker, PI...take your pick. In honor of the start of the spring semester, please share below!
