Should I contact them?

[Owego]

I originally applied to a program in early November and was told I should expect a decision in three to four weeks. There was also a caveat that the winter applicant deadline was coming up soon and they would get priority in the review process (I'm applying for the summer term and applied 6 months in advance of the deadline).

It's now been over 8 weeks and I'm still waiting. Mostly I'm just impatient, but there's also an info session coming up soon and I want to know if I should make plans to attend. Would it be alright to contact them and see if they've made any progress on my app?

Yes, contact them. You have waited long enough.

Would it be better to email or call?

I would call because if you email and they don't respond in a timely manner you will likely stress about whether or not they got the email or whether you should email again.  If you call then you either get someone or leave a message.  Plus I think calling seems more professional.

I'm in a similar situation. Sent an email in December. Was told they'd get to my app when they got back from holidays. So, I'm in like week 6 or 7 of "3-4 weeks".

I'd be fine if my schools just gave me dates when I'd be notified.

Are you applying to the same place as me? Cuz I get info session postcards, emails, etc at least once a week it seems.

I have this suspicion I'll get a rejection letter and invite to an info session in the mail on the same day.
