Hi,

I'm trying to apply for a Fulbright for the 2019-2020 school year. The deadline for it is this October. I've been in touch with two professors from the UK and one of them replied immediately requesting my CV and suggesting we schedule a time to Skype. I replied right away with my CV and my availability for a Skype call, but I haven't heard back for about three days (excluding the weekend). How long should I wait before sending another email?

Thank you.

I'd give it two weeks before following up. And when you do follow up, consider framing it as "here's my updated availability for the next two weeks-- Looking forward to speaking with you when you have a chance."

October is still awhile away, and people are busy.
