it has been 7 days now.. I still haven't heard anything from them.. does that mean my profile is too poor? :oops: or are the people there in a too festive mood to reply to my email?

Davis is a low-ranked school and you have a 990 PGRE. Everyone is out to Christmas. Hang in there.

Btw, how does the Christmas break work in the US? Umich grad school announced to be out of office from Dec 25 to Jan 4. Is this the way it works for all the institutions and USPS? Is it a federal holiday lasting more than a week?

The USPS isn't closed then. I think they have Christmas Day and New Years Day off, but the mail doesn't ever shut down for a week. It would cause too much disruption.
