The advice I got from my supervisor is that I should wait to hear from them lest I look desperate. The thing is: I am desperate to get into these two programs! So, I would like for them to know of my continued interest. I read somewhere that sometimes applicants get in touch with the department to see if they need additional documents to move them up on the waiting list. Still, I am complying with my supervisor's advice for now. But I am open to suggestions, people!
