branramb,
Woah, woah, woah!
Don't give up just yet!
If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me "I'll have that e-mail/report/item for you first thing in the morning", I'd be richer than Bill Gates!!
As Jill pointed out, people have work, family and other committments which get in the way. I know I personally have some 100+ e-mails in my inbox that require my attention and/or personal response.
I mean, you yourself said that she explained she was "...busy with clients all day".
It just sounds to me like you are so hopeful for this opportunity that you just want to know if you have a chance or not. There is nothing wrong with that! But, it also sounds to me like you're afraid for the worst. So, you're looking for any little clue which might lead to that big let down. That way you can say that you "saw it coming" and therefore it won't hurt as much. How does that sound to you?
Don't give up! <hugs> If there is one piece of advice that I always give other PNAMs is that you will probably have to do a LOT of waiting! Waiting for someone to reply to an e-mail, waiting for someone to call you, waiting for an appropriate event that you can be invited to, waiting for the alumnae to have their meeting, waiting for the decision process and so on.
I hope that you will receive the answers you are hoping for....soon!
Best wishes from a fellow PNAM,
.....Kelly
