sevententacles Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Is it rude to reach out to a graduate coordinator about an application status? I reached out to the graduate coordinator last month to find out the timeline for decisions and was told that all decisions would be made by the end of October. However, I got an extension from another school for admission until slightly before the end of October. The wait is excruciating in general but more importantly I would like to make a fully informed decision on whether or not to accept or deny going to this other school that I have already been accepted to. (And accepting means dropping $300.) Any advice would be much appreciated! :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWing Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Congratulations on the admission! However I think if you prefer the program that you're still waiting on, you need to let the program coordinator know of this situation. It won't affect the decisions from their end, and I don't think it's rude. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely most worried about affecting their decision so hearing that it won't is such a relief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyaluo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Which university are your still waiting for a decision? I guess it might be UT Austin . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevententacles Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Which university are your still waiting for a decision? I guess it might be UT Austin . Yup! The response I received was that they hope to make all decisions by the end of October (i.e. it may take longer). The other school that I have heard back from is Simmons (which is my 2nd choice). I also applied to UNC Chapel Hill but I don't expect to hear back from them until sometime in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
