I have a second thought. It's a neutral reply. I don't know what you wrote to him/her, but it seems that your first email did not interest him/her. If he/she was interested in your first email and your background, he/she would ask about your research interest and talk to the admissions committee about you even though he/she was not on it. It's very important to keep your first email short and concise. Perhaps raising some questions derived from reading his/her papers will be a good idea. I, however, agree with snowfield at this point. Since he/she has replied neutrally, you should better keep silent and wait for the admissions decision now. |
