Thanks. I did write such an email immediately following our interview (which was about 3 weeks ago). I am wondering if I could send a follow-up to that email asking if they have made a decision yet. The program reports to the Graduate School, which relays the information to the applicants so there is some lag time. The more I think about it, the more I think that patience should be a virtue in this instance.
I have a question that I was hoping you could help me think through: It's now mid-Feb and after having a successful interview, a series of very positive emails with my POI, waiting to hear my fate is so painful! I'm pretty sure the admissions committee has already met. Do you think I could inquire to my professor of interest whether or not I have been admitted -- or take the silence in stride and wait for the grad school to send their notice? There are no dates listed for receiving decision news for my program in GradCafe...
