So, the program has a Director of Graduate Admissions and Director of Graduate Studies. The website says to contact the D of GS for a specific question about the program. I e-mailed that person (my question was more specific than my earlier example), but received a response from the D of GA. The response was very generic--basically copy-paste from the website aside from two lines that answered my question in a discouraging way. I received a much more helpful response from another program, however.

thanks, guys!!

When you have a question specific to the department your applying to (i.e. if students in the past followed this interdisciplinary approach how did it impact their studies?) : -how much information do you include in the e-mail -who exactly do you e-mail? For example, would I provide a few lines on past education and current interests such as in an inquiry e-mail? And by *who* I mean should I send such a question via the department's generic in-site "contact us" form or send it to a faculty member?
