Sample email
"I am concerned about my placement into practicum 1 in the fall as I am currently waitlisted and there is no guarantee that I will get in. I have completed all my pre-requisites, and I am registered for one elective in the summer and one in the fall. I am frustrated because I am already 2 years into the program, and I am behind due to the difficulties I had getting into multicultural counseling for the last 2 semesters. I would like to make sure that I can get back on track. How can I ensure my spot in practicum this fall? I would hate to have to wait until January and delay my completion of the program even further. Please let me know what can be done."
