Prospective POI Interview

[magnetite]

Hello,

Last Sunday, I got a response from a POI saying we should talk, as my interests align pretty well with the program. He said he was fully booked with travel last week, but asked for suggestions on times either this week or next week. I responded a few hours after I got the email, but I still haven't gotten a response. Would it be a good idea to send a follow-up email? I don't want to seem pushy, but this is probably my first choice in grad schools. What would be the best way to send a follow-up email?

Thanks.

I wouldn't send a follow-up email yet, especially since your POI was traveling. I always get WAY behind on school emails when I'm traveling and try to catch up in order of importance. Give it a few more days.

Thanks for the tip. Looking back, he responded to my initial email about two weeks after I sent it. I'll wait a few more days.
