I think it would be appropriate. It could be short like this:
"This is wonderful news. I look forward to receiving my official offer of admission later this month and responding once I have reviewed it and all my other academic options for the upcoming academic year."
I was waitlisted, so I will probably write something similar. I wouldn't expect a reply, but it shows that you care as a candidate.
I recently switched jobs and submitted an updated resume to my application today. An hour later I received an email thanking me for the updated information but that it won't be considered because they are interviewing. Here's what I received:
"Thank you for sharing this! However, we are in the final round of interviews and will not be able to upload your updated resume."
It's my understanding that MSFS doesn't do interviews, so what could they mean by this?
Did anyone who applied to Priscilla Mason Fund receive a confirmation for your submitted materials? I emailed them in before the deadline but didn't receive any type of response from the SAIS Admissions Office. I even submitted a follow-up email a few days later and heard nothing.
