I applied to a graduate school with rolling admissions about a week ago. When I interviewed with the dean of admissions, he told me that they have a very quick process of applicant decisions. He said that if an application was fully submitted on a Monday morning, then that student would get a decision by Wednesday.
My application was fully submitted last friday, and I got an email from him confirming that it was submitted. It has now been a full week. I know that a week is not a long wait for a graduate school acceptance decision, but it has already been 3 days longer than he said.
At what point should I email him, and what can I say without sounding pushy?
Thanks!
