Application status request

[madisonstarr]

So I haven't heard back from 4 of the 6 schools I applied to and as march trudges on, I get a little bit more nervous. I'm ready to send an email to someone asking whereabouts they are with my applications but I have no idea who to send the email to or what to even put in the email? Any advice is greatly appreciated

Hi Madisonstarr

I have recently sent email's to my POIs asking if they had any updates on my application. I add a sentence expressing my interest in their program and that I look forward to hearing back.

Kept it brief, friendly and not pushy.

I received kind responses and found out my status from 4 schools, which I otherwise still would be in the dark about. I find the POI (or the director of the program) to be a better source than a grad secretary, who may not know or be allowed to reveal your status.

I think it is ok to reach out considering it is March.

Good luck.
