I saw in the grad cafe that one guy got his admission decision (although it was rejection from University of Pennsylvania) in response to inquiry. In this case whom should we contact with this inquiry? email some profs? or the grad coordinator?
Further, my website status of UPenn still shows my application status as "submitted". so is it a good idea to contact anyone?
Thanks

Re: whom to contact for admission inquiry
I think most departments have a graduate coordinator designated, and that would be the best person to contact. I think, however, that it is still fairly early and that you should refrain from contacting departments until March.

yes and yes.

For me personally, I am going to start emailing the last day of February/first day of March area. I've already heard from several programs (2 of which I have great interest in!), and I want to know if I'm waitlisted or rejected from those other schools! Then I can just make my decision after visits.
