waitlist inquiry email gone wrong...?

[worried2018]

During our interview, we were told by the dean that if we get waitlisted to reach out to her mid-march to ask our ranking/any changes. She told us to CC the director as well cause she forgets to respond to emails. I did that after weeks of hearing that I was waitlisted and I just got a response back from the director, not the dean, 

"I did receive your email and you are on our waitlist. You probably will not hear from me again until we are closer to April 15^th."

Is it just me or does it sound like she wasn't happy with me emailing her. Should I response back and explain that the dean asked us to do so?

Help... lol

No, don't email back again. The person is probably tired of getting all these requests. 

Email tone is always hard to read, especially when it's a short email. I wouldn't necessarily assume that he was upset with you. He probably forgot all about it after sending the email. So just keep waiting!
