Waiting

So the director of admissions spoke with my endocrinologist on Tuesday.  On Wednesday afternoon I emailed the head of the admissions committee to see if they needed any further information from me.  About three hours later I got an email back from him telling me that he still needed to get the decision from the committee and he should be able to give me an answer in a few days.  I, probably foolishly, was hoping that would mean that I would have an answer by the end of the week but it was not written in the stars.  I was hoping that this indecision would finally be over.

One thing I am somewhat confused about though is why he needs to get the decision of the committee. Didn't they already offer me the deal?  Was that not already approved?  I understand that they need to be sure that the committee is aware that I wish to enroll for the upcoming year rather than waiting a year but this seems to be a bit roundabout.  I am tired of waiting for all the people to get together to make this decision.

I know for a fact that the admissions committee sent out some readmission decisions as a friend was informed of their decision on Wednesday.  That was part of the reason that I was hoping that I would get some answers by the end of last week.  I have decided that if I do not have answers by the end of business on Monday I will be emailing the Vice Chancellor that was part of the meeting to get some answers.
