😕 you're talking about unmatched participants which will only be decided at noon on 3/12. after which contact is allowed.

"Unmatched" probably means you are scrambling for a position, not the pre-match period.
 
Correspondences between programs and applicants are fine. A program can express interest in a candidate. Likewise, the candidate can tell a program things like, "I plan to rank you #1."

What is a violation is for either party to SOLICIT or PRESSURE.

Questions and thank you notes are fair game. No need to worry.
