I was wondering if any current or former students had suggestions on some prep work before school starts. I'm going to have a good amount of free time over the summer and wondered if there were specific things/skills I could be working on -- brushing up on excel, getting back into the habit of writing regularly etc. I'm trying to think of things beyond the normal language skills and math/econ prep work. Thanks!

Actual courses. I'll take a pre-term in August but the ones in June and July count towards the 16 needed towards graduation. So I only need to make up 2 more courses to get out a semester early. Summer courses also cost 3400 vs 5000 during the fall and spring semesters but obviously the real money is saved by taking 5 course semesters.

I would urge you to consider what I've decided on after talking to some former students. Basically taking 2 courses the summer before you're first term, a 5 course semester and then getting that last course either in the summer (if you were to intern in DC) or in the last semester. This cuts out 10k in tuition and a semester of living expenses, opportunity cost. You certainly lose a little bit but I'd take the savings any day.

I was told via email (my own inquiry) I didn't receive any and then today was told I was on the waitlist with the new policy Ruella detailed afterwards. The communication on their part is a bit disjointed.

I hope thats the case goodcat. The lady via email seemed pretty sure to me but maybe that's just in my case. I guess we will have to wait and see just like everything with MSFS...

I emailed admissions this morning asking about scholarships and they stated it would have been in my acceptance letter. Would you mind also sending me a PM similar to what pyrrhus was asking.

I was also told that if your acceptance letter didn't mention scholarship funding then you did not receive any.

It's at the very bottom of the dashboard, below all the requirements etc. It wasn't there yesterday. When it populates you'll clearly see it.

I did not

I logged on using the info they provided in the acceptance. On my Financial Aid page it says not applicable/no aid found. I was curious if others have this and the aid hasn't been uploaded yet or if I did not receive funding personally.

Bump

Via email?

That's what mine said.

Same, admitted to IDev, no mention of funding. This is the program I want but Fletcher gave me a lot of money so I hope it doesn't come to that.

Yeah, the MALD
