My gf will not talk on the phone to save her life (or right now, her immediate future).
She applied to grad school about a month ago staying within the same university, for a 1-1.5 year Master's degree. Since she was already "in network," they're forgoing all the exams and prereq stuff, and basically all she needed was a personal statement and 3 letters of rec.
She finished pretty much everything in a week and sent out the requests for letters of rec, with a personal message. 2/3 get theirs done in a week, and the 3rd either intentionally or unintentionally ignores it. She still works for that professor, so she sends another email, the first half about the letter of rec, the second half about work, and the prof. doesn't address it at all, while the application status page says the prof hasn't even acknowledged it. A week later, she sends another email, which was ignored. I ask her to call the prof during the prof's office hours, and she utterly refuses, getting snappy and bitchy with me.
Last week, the school sent a message to her saying that due to their spaces filling up, they're not going to take her app anymore, since its incomplete. That same day, the prof emails her asking if she needs a letter of rec. GF is inconsolable for 3 days. Then, the admissions officer emails her in surprise, saying that admins told them to extend the deadline for her, as long as she gets the last letter of rec in by tomorrow. She emails the prof on the 5th, and the prof responds quickly, saying that she'll get it done.
Now, its the 7th, the letter is due tomorrow at noon, and she's bugging me and tearing her hair out at work because the status of the recommendation is still "acknowledged" and not "started." She sent another email a little bit ago, and is panicking. I tell her to call, she rejects it.
What do? Ignore it and let her feel like shit and also miss out on a fucking great opportunity? How do I convince her to at least try?
TL:DR. GF can't talk on phone. What do?
