speech97 Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Is it bad to call schools and ask them if they have made a decision yet? Or send an email? Is that unprofessional?

They had already sent out acceptances and I wasn't invited to interview - just wanted closure. However, for schools I knew I still had a shot at I didn't do it. Didn't want to risk it.

Expand I am not sure what to do. Seems reasonable with April 15th coming up- but also I do not want to hurt myself by doing so. It's just frustrating!

It's a tense time for everyone and I'm afraid this site is sometimes as unhelpful as it is helpful in fanning those flames. A genuine good luck to everybody, including you @hiimkhanh - sounds like you have some good grad school options.

AlwaysaFalcon Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Personally I think you risk annoying the Department if you call and call frequently but it's ultimately up to you. I personally didn't want to risk it and waited for decisions. You'll probably hear more after the April 15th deadline.
Aspire_to_Be Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 @Rezzy S. but you literally said absolutely nothing offensive; I too was curious about the downvote! Rezzy S. 1
sarah189 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I have emailed schools about when I would hear back from them, and I have been accepted to those schools. So, I don't think it really affects it. Rezzy S., smarieSLP2b and speech97 3
speechie510 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 I don’t think it’s unprofessional. I’ve heard people who actually were accepted and the schools forgot to notify them so it’s always good to be safe than sorry! bibliophile222, smarieSLP2b, slptobe! and 1 other 1 3
