question: you have applied to a school, albeit almost 3 months past the deadline, and after a month of waiting, you still have not heard whether you were accepted or not. do you send an email to the department secretary (with whom you have had contact during the whole process), or do you take her last email, dated april 28 that ¨we have all your information and will let you know as soon as possible¨ as final?

i dont want to be obnoxious or pushy, but i also want to know. a fine line. i think i am going to email her and just see what happens. but feel free to let me know what you think if you read this today.
