    I wish they would at least send the absolute rejections if they haven't. Personally I have schools that say that they can extend their deadline, but I will lose all funding if I don't commit by April 15 or April 30 and I imagine that others are in similar positions. I totally understand that they are backed up with applications, I suppose it's just a mess all around this year, haha.

    How much funding is that?

    Could be part of the reason. But I guess it’s also true that the pandemic is slowing down their review process this year, seeing that they didn’t say so last year. 

    They sent out decisions every fortnight till June last year tho (and they’ve been sending out decisions till June for several years now), wonder if it’ll be the same this year...... I seriously can’t imagine the amount of suffering if we’ll have to wait till June.

    I asked another school to extend my decision deadline till the end of April...... hope I’ll be able to hear from UM before that.

    How do you know that they send out decisions every fortnight. There was not any decision last Friday and I assume there won't be any decision today because of the email yesterday. LOL

    Anyone know if it's acceptable to ask them when admissions come out, and if so who to contact? I received an offer from another university, but I need to accept by April 15.

    I guess this is a strategy that they adopt to protect the yield rate (the percentage of accepted students who enroll). some Ph.D. program at UNC use the same strategy to send offers near April 15th.

    Does anybody know when they will release the next wave of decisions? ?It’s killing me for waiting cause I have other programs accepted and have to make my decision on April. I heard that in past years some people submitted applications on January but got no decisions until June...

    Its super weird this year. Last year the first wave including releasing dates : 3.23, 3.24, 4.2. So far, we have only 4 people admitted on grad cafe on 3.18, which is last Thursday. Something is definitely going wrong if we do not hear anything by this Friday. Either they do not have enough manpower to formulate concrete decisions, or they simply do not need admit many students this year because a lot of people had last year gapped. The releasing time span on 3.18 is from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM.  Its kinda ridiculous that the first wave only lasts for over an hour on a single Thursday. Lets wait until this Friday.

    Hey guys!

    Wanted to get a conversation going about Fall 2021 admissions into UMSI masters program.

    I applied before the January 15th deadline, anyone know how long it takes for admission decisions? Also, does anyone have an idea on the acceptance rate of UMSI Masters in Information?

     

    They just start sending offers today! Three offers are on grad cafe now.

    I am so glad to have found this! 

    What is the student portal exactly? I have been checking the application portal regularly but it does not seem to have any section reserved for the results.

    This year is similar to the last year in terms of Covid. I guess the results will come out next week since they released the first round on March 23th last year. Releasing dates in the years before last year is not that relevant.

    Hello, I'm good- still waiting to hear back too! Do you know when they'll start sending out offers? Based on their information session, it was supposed to be out by early-mid March. When did you send your app in?

    I sent my app in Jan. I checked that last year they started releasing the results in the final week of March. Guess we have to wait for another week LOL ;X 

  9. Im so glad to find this forum today! 

    I guess the results will come out next week since they released the first round on March 23th last year because of Covid-19. This year is similar. 

    While we are waiting, would y'all mind share your undergraduate background and your intended field of study?
