Two of my writers still have not uploaded their letters, which would be okay, but they're also not responding to my emails.
I asked them both, in person, for a letter well in advance, and both said they were happy to do it. Since then, I have tried to stay in contact with them via email (sending resume, PS, etc.), and have also contacted them several times just to let them know they were in the system and could put their letter in my app at any time. Neither have responded to any of my emails.
I'm starting to get a little concerned, as I don't want to send an obnoxious "I NEED YOUR LETTER NOOOW" email, but I've kind of exhausted my "polite reminders" and don't know their phone, and am living in another city.
I probably won't be submitting for another week or so, and I know I can submit without the letters, but I gave them an earlier deadline just to be safe. Both are very busy researchers, so I get the sense that, unless they write the letter right after I speak with them, they'll forget about it and I'll never get the things.
Anyone have any thoughts on what to do?
