Emailing Admission Officer

<p>Hi there!
I'm not sure what to expect after an automated email reply from an admissions officer.
The email states that the officer is away from his office reviewing REA applications.</p>

<p>Does this mean he is currently away but he will get back to me, or that he won't be responding until decisions are out?
Normally, I would think the former..</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
