Hi all,

I interviewed at a school about 2 months ago. When I interviewed, they said they would have a decision for us in 6-8 weeks. I have yet to hear anything from them, but heard from a couple other applicants from my interview day that they were given interview results 3+ weeks ago.

I have uploaded a post-interview update expressing interest, but I’m questioning when would be a time to call or email an admissions contact specifically regarding my status. I realize that emailing like can commonly lead to a “still under review” response, but are there any instances where reaching out to check up on it would 1, be warranted, and 2, not be looked at as overly eager/annoying?

Just looking for your thoughts.
