MCS_aspirant Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I won't expect to get back to me on the same day. I would give at least 1 week time. However, it also depends on the type of reply you gave. I am not sure what you wrote in the email. But if you responded politely showing ample flexibility, I won't worry.

hope4fall2012 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's very easy to get worried about such stuff.. But as the person above me replied, as long as you were nice enough in your reply, you should probably hear back soon..All the best.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hope4fall2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I don't know what the norm is, but I guess I would wait for a week and then send him a mail again.. All the best!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpplease123 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Dear Professor so and so, I wanted to take this opportunity to reaffirm my interest in the x program at y school and in meeting with you to discuss my research plans etc ... (and have this as a forward above all the previous email correspondance so he can see it maybe?) would wait a while longer before emailing though...

Eigen Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Especially since, depending on the school, last week was probably the first week of classes. And if it's anything like here, it was an exceptionally busy week for all the faculty. Give it a week, and then send a nice, non-pushy e-mail re-affirming your availability. Just say that you wanted to make sure the e-mail got through the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
