Hi, I am contacting a potential POI for my PhD application, and the POI is the dean of department. However, I am confused why the POI do not reply to my email directly, but let the Director of Graduate Studies in the department to reply me.
The repliy said that: I am reaching out to you in response to the email you had sent our Dean about the program. I am here to answer any questions you might have about it and/or the application process.
I do not ask the potential POI for the info regarding the program/application process, but only the possibility to to PhD with him. So I am very confused why he let other people to reply me.Anyone has some thoughts? Much appreciated!
