Just wondering, but how many emails have you guys exchanged with your counselor? Is there an optimal number? I want to make a strong connection, but don't want to try to become buddy-buddy and not keep it professional.
That, I think, should depend on how much information you wish to update the adcom with. I explained this frustration to my counselor and he said that a phone call/email was sufficient every other week (2 weeks) - every 3 weeks. I'm more concerned with not having enough info to share with them, should I have a notable life event every 2 weeks? As far as I'm concerned everything that was worth knowing was in my original application!
