No news after interview

[zhtmahtm]

I did an interview at a school about three weeks ago. The interview went pretty well, I talked to a bunch of faculties including two PIs who were quite interested in taking me, and I definitely got the impression that both PIs were pretty positive about the interview. And well, this sounds like a lousy excuse, but I've been travelling most of the time since the interview for a number of different things and somehow I ended up not sending any thank you notes after the interview (wasn't the smartest thing to do...) And since the interview, I haven't heard anything from the school. They did note that the school was "pretty slow in sending out decisions", but I've seen one result posted in the results from gradcafe (even before my interview date) and I'm not really sure if I should contact the PIs or the graduate director of the school. At this point I'm wondering if it'd be very 'awkward' to send a thank-you note to the PIs (since it's been like 3 weeks...) Should I just wait longer, or just carefully write them an email asking about the decisions?

Don't send a thank you note, it's too late. Just email to follow up on the interview, reiterate your interest in the program, and ask if there is a decision in your case, and if not, if there is a timeline for when you might expect to have a decision.
