What constitutes a discussion?

[elleblum]

I emailed the professor with whom I wish to work at a school indicating my interests and relating them to her work. She responded in kind, confirmed that we would probably get along famously and that we should meet when she returns from sabbatical (after the application is due.)

Does one email and response allow me to put her name on the application where it asks "Have you discussed your application with a current member of the faculty?

Thanks,

I would say 'yes'.

[Strangefox]

I would say 'yes'.

Agreed. She is a faculty member now and she will stay one while on sabbatical.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but I would hate to make any assumptions.
