<p>has the Spring semester started? The reason I am asking is that DD is waiting for a professor to call. </p>
<p>DD has applied to WashU RD and she expressed a special interest in a particular program. Just before Christmas, DD received an e-mail from the head of this program stating the desire for a conversation.</p>
<p>Now, we are well into the new year and DD has sent an e-mail to follow up. But she has yet to get a reply. If all the professors are back and school is in session, I will take this as a bad sign.</p>
