I just got my first email from a professor (who indicated interest in my proposed research topic) letting me know I was recommended for admission by the history department. I didn't email any professors before applying, so haven't talked to him one before -- what's the typical etiquette in responding to these unofficial pre-admit emails? Any advice?

If I could just say -- Even though I did not get into Northwestern, I applaud its admissions process.  It doesn't leave people hanging.  The committee informs people right away whether they're accepted or not.
