Had an phone interview with program director, should I send a followup email?

[sevyn731]

Two weeks ago I had a phone interview with the program director of my second choice school. It turns out the decisions are being made late because he was teaching in Boston this past semester.

Overall I believe it went well considering he sent multiple emails expressing how much he enjoyed our conversation, and providing resources I should follow to help prepare for the fall if I am admitted.

Although he did admit he was concerned about my gpa which is a little lower (due to a few struggles from my freshman and sophomore year) than that of student's normally admitted into the program. He found it encouraging that my academic performance is in an upswing after I sent sending a copy of my most recent transcript.

He later messaged me to inform me that the other members of the adcom would have to be consulted before a final decision is made, which I can expect to hear very soon. Since this was about a week ago, should I send a followup email? Since this is my second choice school after all, I want to do whatever I can to get in without sounding desperate or begging.

Should I send anything or just wait for the final say?

If this was a week ago, I would have said yes.

But if your goal is not to come off as desperate I would hold off from the email.

I agree with the above post. Two weeks is a bit close. Maybe after a month has passed?

I always send a short thank you email, telling the prof how much I enjoyed speaking to him or her, and maybe mention one specific thing that you are grateful or excited for (such as you gratful he noticed your true academic potential as proven by your recent and major gpa improvements)
