13:07

@OJDidntDoIt: why are you applying so late into the cycle?

FlutteringSqueamishPuffin

13:08

@OJDidntDoIt: if you applied back in november you certainly were getting a full ride if not a stipend.

speedycar57

13:35

Ok

OJDidntDoIt

11:22

@FlutteringSqueamishPuffin: I'm a non-traditional. Been out of school a handful of years and decided late to take the leap lol. I know I handicapped myself applying so late

FlutteringSqueamishPuffin

12:28

OJDidntDoIt

10:44

any movement on wait list after seat deposit deadline on 6/1?

OJDidntDoIt

12:30

I got my A in 6/5, so I’m assuming they’re starting to move things along

Rocknrollkrol

14:48

just got accepted off the waitlist! received the waitlist email on 6/3, sent my letter of cont. interest same day, got a courtesy call from the director today saying that im in :)

youcancallmequeenb

13:12

I got my "high priority" WL email on 4/11, emailed my LOCI on 5/23 and still haven't heard bad, so that's disheartening :(

Update: I got a call from admissions on 6/26, paid my deposit and am starting in the fall 😭

GlisteningLightPoodle

@youcancallmequeenb: same here, have you heard back? I called the office and they let me know I should hear back in a couple of weeks

GlisteningLightPoodle

15:56

@WiryHomelessPug: sorry I meant to @ you. have you heard back

DisillusionedHomelessWalnut

11:49

admissions office here is pathetic

GlisteningLightPoodle

13:26

@DisillusionedHomelessWalnut: did you get accepted or denied? I'm still on the waiting list

GlisteningLightPoodle

15:58

I just recieved a denial :(

NoisyIrateLoon

15:49

do we have an idea of when we will hear back from msu?

CooperFromInterstellar

15:15

Judging by previous cycles, it could be anywhere from mid-November to mid-December. For folks who applied Sep/Oct I'd bet we hear back sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Applied in september with high stats for the school and still no decision. They've been quicker the previous years so I'm confused.

[] mailman12

16:18

Idk if my decision date was in any way affected by this, but I applied Nov 30 and hadn't received anything, so i reached out with an email just asking about my status and if they needed any additional info from me. They responded that my app was w/ the committee and no decision was made yet, and then I got a decision about 8 days later (this was all in the past two weeks)

AlluringJoyousKiwi

10:46

Emailed them asking for an update on my status and got waitlisted 2 days later. Can’t believe it considering my stats were amazing for the school.
