Should I email these POIs again?

Hello,

Before applying, I emailed two professors at my top choice school my CV and research interests. One responded and said his group was full, but encouraged me to apply anyway to see how the stars align. Another had me call his office and talk for a bit about the program. That conversation was back in September. The application deadline was the middle of December. It looks like the results page shows that they send out acceptances the first week of February, so I'm wondering:

Should I contact either of them again? Or has that ship sailed, and I should just wait it out to see what happens?

I think at this point it's too late to write. For future reference, I think what you could have done was email once you submitted your application in December, just to say "Dear Prof X, I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to talk to me in September, it was very helpful (or whatever generic thing about what you learned and how it helped you craft your materials for this school). I just submitted my application, and will be looking forward to hearing from school X in the new year. Happy holidays, -magnetite". This would have refreshed the prof's memory of you and there was a legitimate reason to email. Now I don't see what you'd say, so I think you probably have to just wait and see.

As long as your conversation ends on promising terms, I personally do not see a necessity to contact again since it is close anyway. But the way can you help find MH370?

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind next cycle, if necessary.
