POI on sabbatical


Recommended Posts

I've just discovered that one of my POIs for my top-choice school is on sabbatical this academic year. Should this impact whether I list him as a POI? I assume he'll be back when I'm actually starting the program (assuming I get in), but I also assume being on sabbatical means he probably won't have any involvement with the admissions process. Does this make naming him as a POI in my SOP potentially less useful?

I don’t think so. I think adcoms are fairly small so in a big program your POIs might not even be on it, whether on sabbatical or not. In fact, since I came to my program the only person I have talked to (other than the DGS) who I got a sense had actually read my materials was someone who left before I arrived.
