Is this bad taste?

[gregg827]

Hello everyone,

I applied to the master's program in music composition at NYU Steinhardt.  This will actually be my second masters; I want to get more experience before going for my Ph.D or DMA. Anyway, I have yet to hear from them, so I e-mailed the admissions office, who in turn told me my application is still under review.  

 

Is it bad taste to try to contact the music department directly and ask?  I know "the squeaky wheel gets the oil," but at the same time, I don't want to annoy anyone.  It's just killing me checking these forums, my email, and my mailbox multiple times a day!

 

Thanks,

Gregg

I don't think it would be in bad taste at all - especially at this late date.  Is there a director of graduate studies in the department?

I think so.  There is a woman to whom I was speaking before I applied, when I was just searching around for graduate programs.  Maybe I'll shoot her an e-mail to find out what is going on.
