Thanks! Just emailed the professor with some questions, and ask if there's anything I could do to improve my chance. We will see how it goes! Good luck with everyone's application!

Thanks everyone for the helpful reply. I have been reading his articles and am "crafting" an intellectual email. champagnesupernova, I'm not sure about the phone conversation, would it be too aggressive to ask if she has the final say? I'm a little nervous.

A potential mentor emailed me just now, and said that he's very interested in my application, and think I fit in the program. He told me that the admission decisions will be made in a couple of weeks, and I should feel free to ask him any questions. He also gave me some links to his research articles. I am wondering what does this mean, and how should I reply to this email. It seems that there will be no interview, right? Thanks in advance to those who helps out!
