I have applied to a Masters program at several schools and already been rejected by one of them. This has, of course, sent me into what I'll call "Max Panic Mode." One of my remaining schools is the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I believe they have rolling admissions(?) and the application is first handled by the Office of Graduate Education before being sent off to the department for review. I had been in touch with someone from the Office of Graduate Education to make sure all was well and I (not so) recently got an email saying that my application had been forwarded to the department for review. In the same email, there was a line suggesting I email the department directly for the "status of my file" as "additional documents may be required." I'm sure I sent in everything required and it's long past the deadline anyway but I can't help wanting to give in and scratch the itch by sending the department an email. Does anyone have any advice for a situation like this? I feel like it's usually best just to wait it out unless there is some particularly pressing matter to deal with but, like I said, Max Panic Mode! (I received said email on January 29th.)
