nhyn Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I had an interview with a school last Monday (so its been a week). I sent a thank-you email to the prof the day after, etc. None of the profs I interviewed with could give me a time frame for when they'd get back. Last time when I interviewed, the other school accepted me 3 days later, so now I'm getting nervous as I haven't heard anything. How long should we wait after an in-person interview to contact them again? I plan to shoot another email on Tuesday or so...is that reasonable?

I would wait for at least two weeks, three would be prefect. Different schools have different procedures so if one school admitted you three days after the interview it does mean that it is a rule. You thanked profs, they know that you are interested so just sit tight and do not run the risk of annoying them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhyn Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 lol no its not a congrats situation - I applied to the PhD program. I guess if I had gotten in touch earlier, when they havent decided yet, I'd have just annoyed them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
