Acceptance from Admissions

[ucc123]

So I received an acceptance for my PhD, but it was a generic email from the admissions office. Neither my POI or the graduate department chair emailed me with any information. Should I contact my POI?

I'm not sure what field you are in but at least in my field (where I had to essentially find professors who wanted to take me on in their labs) I think it would be perfectly okay to contact my POI to let them know I had received an acceptance from graduate admissions and then maybe ask them for more information about your acceptance and such.

I had a similar situation and I waited a few days and then emailed the DGS (didn’t have a POI I was already in contact with).  They may not have realized that your acceptance came through yet and maybe they will contact you soon.  But contacting your POI post acceptance seems like a good idea.  Maybe even contact the DGS as well (after waiting a until few days after the offer) for information on funding, visiting, etc.
