Subject: Follow-up on PhD Application Discussion

Dear [Professor's Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to follow up on our previous conversation regarding my PhD application. As per our discussion, you mentioned that we would arrange a further discussion after two weeks. However, I haven't received any updates or confirmation regarding the next steps.

I understand that you might be busy with other commitments, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by my inquiry. I am genuinely interested in pursuing my PhD under your guidance, and I would appreciate any information you can provide regarding the next steps in the application process.

Please let me know if there is any additional documentation or information I should provide to move forward. I would be grateful for any update or guidance you can offer.

Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards,
