POI question!

[kinderbueno]

hey all!

i was wondering if you could help me ease my neuroses. I contacted a POI back in October to ask if she was accepting students and over the course of a few emails made tentative plans to meet in December as i would be in the same city as the university. I emailed her about a week ago and have yet to hear back. Obviously these application nerves are in full force and i've assumed the worst (no response = no acceptance) but i was wondering if people could share their experiences/tell me what steps i should take next/etc

thanks so much!

Don't stress. One POI offered to review my application and I emailed him my documents about a week ago and he has yet to reply. One of my undergrad professors also has not replied to an email sent a week ago and he is the nicest prof ever, one of my favourites.  

 

Everyone is super busy right now! In Canada, it is final exams, I am assuming it is the same in the U.S. ??

I'd say about half of my POIs didn't respond to my emails, including some who eventually accepted me. Don't worry about it. They're busy people, and some have a policy of not responding. Don't read too much into it.
