Timeline for Professor deletes me from Skype contact list after Skype interview and promise to give offer. Could this be a rejection?

| Dec 22, 2015 at 1:52 | comment | added | Roger Fan | @FZW1224 The hardest part about applications is waiting. Do everything you can up until you submit your applications, but you have to accept that at some point there's nothing you can do but wait, possibly deep into February or even March. Pestering faculty about that before then is at best going to do nothing and at worst get them annoyed with you. | |

| Dec 21, 2015 at 4:53 | comment | added | FZW1224 | @BenCrowell Yes, I feel anxious about it, because it is a precious chance for me to follow a good professor. And the process of waiting for application result is quite long and tough. | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 15:40 | comment | added | user1482 | It sounds to me like you're very anxious about the position, and you have unrealistic expectations about how much she wants to communicate with you at this stage. Your anxiety is not her anxiety. Pestering her repeatedly is not appropriate. She doesn't know whether the department is going to waive the GPA requirement for you. | |

| Dec 20, 2015 at 9:37 | comment | added | O. R. Mapper | Have you considered the possibility that she simply doesn't want to keep you as a Skype contact? I have been in several organizations so far where everyone would be using Skype in one way or another (and primarily lots of informal stuff, such as making the daily lunch call), but people of different "rank" would rarely add each other into their contact lists. | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 8:01 | comment | added | Ooker | How do you know that they have deleted your contact? | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 4:44 | comment | added | FZW1224 | @drN Since my application has just been submitted recently, I think it is too early to check about the status. But thanks a lot for you suggestions. | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 4:26 | comment | added | dearN | @FZW1224 A formal acceptance counts. It is also true at times that some faculty don't respond to all applicants unless that applicant is being hired for that position.. So I don't think it hurts to check with him/her about the status of your application. You are looking for opportunities and it isn't fair for you to wait for an unreasonable time beyond any particular due date of announcement of a final decision. | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 4:15 | comment | added | FZW1224 | @drN So only the formal rejection email can indicate the rejection, right? | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 4:01 | comment | added | dearN | @FZW1224 My testimony is anecdotal... I have had this happen twice. I received a job offer twice. I have done this to a student myself (deleted their skype id after meeting). It makes me wonder if I should have! | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 3:38 | comment | added | FZW1224 | It is also impolite to ask professor about it........ | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 3:25 | comment | added | Fábio Dias | Professors do weird stuff. I'd say not really a rejection, but it is a bit subjective. | |
