Thank you for your your reply! According to admissions, I should hear back by the end of March:( Isn’t the wait the worst?! Lol. I hope you get good news soon! Wish you the best of luck ?
So, in my application letter, I indicated that I wanted to work with a specific professor. Went I went for a campus visit and met with two other professors, I found out about a grant-funded project another professor is working on that perfectly aligns with my research interests. So I took a chance yesterday and emailed that professor saying that, although I am interested in the work of the professor I mentioned in my letter, I was particularly interested in his work and would love to partner with him on his research. I was worried I was crossing some sort of line, or that he wouldn't respond, or that it would cast a negative light on my application. This is the response I received:
"Thank you for your note! I would certainly enjoy working with you on our shared interests, and I'll let the graduate committee know of the possibility of us working together pending their admissions processes and your final enrollment choices!"
I don't want to read too much into it, but I'm glad that I reached out and that he's letting the committee know. Hoping it's a good sign, but trying to distract myself in the meantime.
