Eigen Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 No. It's not kosher to contact PIs between when you submitted your application and when you hear results from them, unless they initiate the contact. once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hope4fall2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Are you sure?? This waiting thing is killing me!!! I'm tempted everyday to send out emails, but hold back, consoling myself that tomorrow will bring better news.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolherc Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Nothing positive can come of it. Only negative things. You will know the results soon enough. Besides, they have other stuff to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I suggest contact the department admin. If you're really eager, call rather than email. But be prepared for all outcomes! Best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlieE Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Perhaps calling their graduate office rather than the POI him or herself is better. You could just call to ask for the approximate deadline of when decisions will be made. Does their website give any indication of when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronicx Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 No..but out of 4 poi I listed one of them called....so was wondering if it's good to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBP Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I know same here...I am soo tempted.....y is it a bad idea It can been as you trying to swoon the POI, which isn't a good thing at this point in the game. It also can create tension, consider the prof may be evaluating other applicants and be preparing to reject/accept you. I suppose this is a (mostly) unspoken boundary. Best!
