I had my first interview to a PhD about two weeks ago. I emailed the day after just to thank the PIs and the admissions committee for interviewing me. The admissions guy said it should be about 2 weeks until we hear a decision. I am wondering if it is okay for me to reach out and ask about a decision 1) because I'm super anxious about it like everyone else and 2) hoping that it shows I am still interested in the program. Or does it seem pushy to reach out?

If you already reached out what more is there to say?

That was more of just thanking them for the opportunity and asking the PIs about sending me some more information about their labs, but I never asked about a decision. Reaching out a second time would be me asking if I got in or not.

Personally I would just wait. Waiting sucks but you don't want to pester people.
