Accepted today! So excited about GSU this fall. Good luck to everyone still waiting, I know it is stressful!
Congrats @inflexiblesplitter! When did you apply and when did you hear back?
13:21
I just got an update that says my application requires additional review before the faculty admission committee. Does this mean anything or is it just UR2?

@ExcellentRuralOstrich: Thanks! I applied 3/14, complete 3/15, accepted 3/30 and I actually just received notice today that I was awarded a scholarship. I applied to the PT day program and will be attending in the fall. I think I completed the scholarship app April 6th or 7th. It moved really fast for me which is super lucky, I know it's been a crazy cycle. I wasn't expecting such a fast decision or scholarship offer, but it sure made my life easier. GSU was my top choice because, even though UGA is great, it would be a super difficult commute for me an I'm a non-trad applicant. But the scholly clinched it for me.

@InflexibleSplitter: same re. Scholly. I’m a nontrad, I’m coming in with career experience so knowing “hey I can achieve my career goals from GSU” means a lot.

Committed yesterday, because at the end of the day the GA offer was too good to turn down
