It's been one month since the graduate advisor (also the POI) said will get back to me regarding my grad application, should I send a follow up email? It's been one month since the graduate advisor (also the POI) said will get back to me regarding my grad application, should I send a follow up email or should I just wait? He said in the last email that he is checking something for me and will get back to me as soon as possible, but it's towards the end of March, I am little nervous and worried. I don't want to sound too pushy and impatient since he already said he'll get back to me asap...should I still follow up? if yes, any advice to ask him about the status very politely?

Yes. They have probably forgotten about the correspondence.

Reply to his last mail with the same subject line (and correspondence below) and say something simple like:

Hi X,

I was wondering if there were any updates since we last spoke?

Thanks,
