I've sent out 11 emails to 7 different universities and I'm pretty sure that by now at least one professor should've replied -_-

Profs generally have pretty full inboxes...

Typically they don't. What was the subject of your email?

I put Summer Research as the subject line.
Should I have put "REPO NOTICE FOR 2006 SAAB" or "YOUR DAUGHTER IS WITH US. DO NOT CONTACT THE POLICE."

You need to send 11 emails to each prof you want a response from.

My profs typically answer their emails.

One should always have their own
You can prove you are student later.

As universities are supposed to be bastions of academic freedom, I would guess that no, they do not block emails. I would give it some more time, then send a follow-up email. If you have time, I would send an old fashioned letter. Depending on the department, many profs dig old school communication.

They are usually busy.
Keep trying, thats the best bet. Catch them in person is usually the best, but make sure you are prepared with stuff to make them commit.

You aren't getting bounce back emails are you? Usually if something is blocked by a spam filter it sends the sender a bounced email letting you know it didn't get through

Nope, not getting anything back, I've tried calling the professors too and they haven't replied so I don't know :[
