Contact Graduate Secretary About Funding?

[Mind_Left_Body]

Hi Folks-

I am waiting to hear back from the department about my admissions status like many others right now. I recently found out that my employer will fully cover my tuition, etc. for graduate school. At the time of submitting my application, I didn't know this, so I checked the box "seeking departmental fellowship".

QUESTION: Should I politely email the graduate secretary and let her know that--if I'm fortunate enough to be accepted--I won't need a fellowship or any financial assistance?

I'm not sure what the best approach is here, because I don't want to pester the department right now. On the other hand, I think it is important that they know about this change to my application.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I think you can certainly do that. It is not pestering, it is avery important piece of ingormation that can influence ad comm decision.

So yes, I would contact a grad secretaty about that.

Good luck!

I would definitely contact the graduate secretary about that. It may significantly help you get in.
