Should I send another email to my POI after I submitted my application?

[JWKHIST]

I just finished and submitted my PhD program application today.

I contacted my POI before the application process, and he encouraged me to apply. (I guess this is a good sign, right?)

Now that I am done with my application, should I send him another email telling him that I applied?

or should I just wait until the decision comes out?

 

I am from South Korea

If I were applying here in my country, I would definitely send another email.

But I'm not so sure if that's appropriate in the US.

I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me some advice on this.

 

Thanks.

I second the post above - no need to send the POIs emails at this point. 

It may be a polite act in Korea but it is most likely to annoy the POIs in the US...And the "I encourage you to apply" response is certainly nothing negative but it is a common response that profs give out to most applications who reach out to him/her.  

Congrats on submitting the apps tho! Best luck with your admissions.
