<p>So I'm applying to washington university and its one of my top choices. I really like the environment the school offers as well as its strength across the board. I'm really interested in physics, and I put it on my common app already. I recieved an email from the chair of the physics department telling me he saw i was interested in physics at washU so he explained to me some research happening there and asked me to email questions. </p>
<p>I'm not trying to jump to conclusions nor am I naive enough to put all my faith in this email, but is this any kind of sign of possible admission?</p>
