    Hello! I recently applied to PSU's Technical and Professional Writing program. I can't seem to find any opinions/advice about this particular program (or even the English Department in general). So to anyone who attended PSU in one of the department's programs, how were the professors? Was the department organized? Did you enjoy your time in the program?

    They did on-campus Visiting Days about two weeks ago, and this week, they're doing virtual Visiting Days.

    The person who runs the official MSI Facebook group said that the deadline is May 1st.

    I emailed UMSI with a couple questions over a week ago, and still haven't gotten a response. Is that how long they usually take to reply?
  5. Moonbeam
    Wow, they must've gotten swamped with applications this year. I hope those of you who are still waiting will get a decision this week!

    Are your friends User Experience/HCI track? I hope UMSI hasn't already sent out decisions for the digital archives/library science track! All I've gotten so far is approval for an insane amount of FAFSA loans. ? Waiting to hear about scholarships honestly feels scarier than waiting for an admission decision. ?

    I hope they're not done sending out decisions!? Congrats to your friends!

    It says on the UMSI website that they have scholarships that range from partial to full funding (sometimes even including a stipend).
  9. Moonbeam
    I don't think they've released any scholarship decisions yet. Last week, they said funding decisions would come out within two weeks, so hopefully we'll find out by next week!
  10. Moonbeam
    Nope. Still anxiously awaiting that. ?

    Is anyone who's been admitted planning on attending the Visiting Days on March 30-31? I can't afford to fly out that weekend. Though I'm wondering if there will be other designated visiting weekends this spring/summer?
  12. Moonbeam
    To those who have been admitted, is anyone planning on accepting their offer of admission regardless of scholarships/funding? Or will your enrollment depend on whether you get any UMSI scholarships? I really want to enroll in this program, but $100k would be a scary amount of debt to take on. ?
  13. Moonbeam
    I think they usually send out an email with scholarship and funding information a week or so after acceptances go out.
  14. Moonbeam
    Me too! I got an email about an hour ago, directing me to the portal for my decision letter. I'm so excited! No word yet on funding though. I applied on 1/15, which was also the date my application was marked as complete.
  15. Moonbeam
    So I guess I shouldn't expect to hear anything this week. I wonder if they got a lot more applications this year? If they aren't gonna start sending out decisions until the end of the month, then they better include scholarship/financial aid information with those decisions. Otherwise, that gives us barely any time to consider our grad school options before the April 15th enrollment deadline.
  16. Moonbeam
    I'm just going off of the dates that decisions were posted on this site for the past few years. For people who applied by the priority deadline (1/15), we are supposed to receive a decision within 7 to 9 weeks after the deadline, which would be during March. Other than that, I thought the program did rolling admissions, so that's why some people get accepted/rejected in April and May (the final application deadline is May 1st).
  17. Moonbeam
    Whelp, still nothing. ? I hope we don't have to wait until next Friday to hear anything! I wonder if they got a lot more applicants this year. Decisions started rolling out on March 2nd the past two years, and mid-late February for the couple years before that.
  18. Moonbeam
    I just checked my application for the billionth time (lol), and my "complete date" is also now missing! I wonder if this is a subtle indication that our apps have been reviewed?
  19. Moonbeam
    I really hope that decisions start rolling out today!
  20. Moonbeam
    It's been nearly 6 weeks now since the priority deadline, so I'm optimistically hoping they'll start sending out decisions this week. The wait is killing me! ? Did anyone ever receive an email saying their application was "processed?" I got an email on 1/15 saying my application was complete, but I never got one saying it was processed.
  21. Moonbeam
    AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. Moonbeam
    Cool! Is your undergraduate background also in HCI? My background is in a non-information field, so I hope that doesn't ruin my chances for admission/scholarships.
  23. Moonbeam
    Worries: This is my first application cycle, and I only applied to two master's programs, and was already rejected from one. My fear is that I'll get rejected from the UMich program, or I'll be accepted with zero funding and not be able to go. And just the other day, I found out that I messed up a small detail on my SOP. Excitement: Unfortunately, I don't have anything school-related to be excited about right now.
  24. Moonbeam
    Me! I'm hoping to get into film preservation/archiving. The only school I applied to was UMich.
  25. Moonbeam
    I figured I'd give this thread a bump. Has anyone applied for Fall 2019? I applied on the priority deadline for the MSI with a concentration in archiving and preservation. I'm really hoping that I'll get accepted and get some good funding! But I'm pretty nervous because this is a new field I'm trying to break into (I studied behavioral science in undergrad). I've been reading through old posts, but it's hard to gauge the stats of the applicants who got partial or full funding. It seems like the program is pretty open to accepting applicants with different backgrounds, though, which is good!
