[nagdu] waiting time?

[Tracy Carcione]

If I didn't get an answer to an email within a few days, I'd make a phone
call (and I'm dreadfully phone-shy).  I sometimes wonder if some of the
admissions folks are old enough to not really be happy with email.

Sorry, I don't know the typical wait time.  I started at GDB 30 years ago,
and things are very different now.  And when I switched to TSE a few years
ago, I was not in a rush because my old gal wasn't ready to retire right
away.  So I had them hold my app for almost a year.
