Hi all, I still have yet to hear from one of my top programs. I have other offers but can not make an informed decision with out the full picture. My question is should I contact my POI that I interviewed with, or should I seek out a status from the admissions officer?

I just had two papers accepted at a conference. I did not make any mention of them in my application. Should I contact the admissions of each school I have applied and give them the information of the papers? I am first and second author on these and had sort of forgotten about them ?

@moods thanks for the reply. I am planning on applying to a couple other programs as well. I just do not have the money to waste on a “no shot” application.
