Weird Email Situation

[CHINESEGOLD]

This forum should have a “small questions that don’t deserve their own thread” thread, but whatever aha.

 

anyways, I put in a deferral request(letter) for the program I paid my deposit for, this was a bit over two weeks ago. The grad advisor said she’d contact me as soon as it’s confirmed. Radio silence for about two weeks so I put in an email on Wednesday asking if there’s been an update, and still... radio silence. Like not even a “hey, it’s still under review”. It’s weird because she’s been very, very fast with responses until this point.

 

not sure what to do rn considering September is fast approaching and I kind of need to know what’s up since the school is in a foreign country that’s also a covid hotspot so I really need to start some major planning, which I can’t do without a response. What do you all recommend I do?

@CHINESEGOLD Is there a phone number you can call? Or a grad program administrator you could get in touch with?  Otherwise, I'd wait a little longer (this Wednesday at least, if not Friday) and send an additional email outlining the urgency of your situation and asking for an update.

It is so typical GradCafe to say September is fast approaching in May. I hope this all worked out for you @CHINESEGOLD.

Don't forget to breath, us academics are so quick to panic sometimes!
