Is it kosher to inquire about my chances of getting off the waitlist? You know, "I want to express my continued interest yada yada Your school is my top choice and I will attend if admitted yada yada Do you have any insights about whether I should still hold out hope yada yada"?
And, if so, with whom? I've been in contact with the grad program's administrative assistant, who told me today (following my inquiry) that I've been waitlisted and should get my letter this week - also, will have a final decision within the next month. Should I ask her about my chances, and/or should I email the program director to express my interest? This is a master's program... Thanks!
