It can be okay if it’s passed the time (roughly)they say they would. There is a good way to do this though. Remember those who answer your phone call or get your email are likely not the ones making the decisions. That is not always true but at NSU it almost always is the case. In other words, you thinking you will “annoy” isn’t really a concern. Just be polite. Mention that NSU is your number one and before you forfeit a seat elsewhere due to an upcoming deadline etc, you want to know about when you can expect a notification.
