Today is the deadline to accept the scholarship and there is one condition that I don’t get.

If you withdraw after the first university withdrawal deadline of the term, you will be responsible for payment of your full tuition for that term.

I found one deadline on the registrar website (Aug 30) but I don’t know if it’s the correct one. Need to send the letter today and so confused about this. 

Hi @Silentiums! Did you manage to send the scholarship acceptance letter in time?

The covid situation has only gotten worse in the past few weeks. I am guessing that might be delaying things a bit. I am sure you will hear back soon! 

[Horizon20]

Anyone heard of any additional scholarships that have been given out since the first round?

Haven't heard about any additional scholarships yet. I wrote to them and asked, they said only first round of scholarships were sent out.

Hi! Yes I sent them my acceptance and they confirmed that we can decline offer up to Aug 30 without penalty. But I haven’t accepted admission offer yet - want to wait for the second scholarship wave. Probably will accept it around May 1st

[Kelfel]

Was told the second set of scholarships should be going out at the end of this month

[Horizon20]

Wait, so are they extending the deadline to accept admission offer or is it still May 1st? I really would like to wait until the second wave of scholarships are sent out. I also have another admission offer that has a deadline in May.

Hey guys, does anyone know if there is going to be like a virtual new admitted students event? 

Hope y'all are doing well!

[ahighertruth]

[HCIHopeful]

My "Application Complete Date UMSI" is at April 11, 2020. Not sure what that means.

From what Ive been seeing it might mean you have a decision coming soon...

Mine is still the same date it was when I had completed my app...

I guess we just need more patience, hopefully you get in though.

[HCIHopeful]

Yes, @ahighertruth. Hopefully we will get our decisions once their May 1 deadline is over.

[MSI Hopeful Dad]

My daughter’s "Application Complete Date UMSI" is at April 14, 2020. Not sure what that means.  She applied in January. I am hoping to hear something since the first round acceptance date has passed. 

[MHI Hopeful]

Anyone applied for Master of Health Informatics(MHI) program and hear anything back recently?

[HCIHopeful]

Has anyone received any new admission decision or scholarship over the last few days?

Hey! That's awesome. So you accepted the scholarship and are yet to accept the admit is it? I am glad they are giving you enough time to do that. I was told that the send round of scholarships were also sent out. If you don't mind me asking - what kind of scholarship did they offer? Was it partial tuition? 

[HCI Aspirant]

I hope those of you still waiting on your decisions hear something soon! Good luck!

[ahighertruth]

At this point im not sure if they are even doing decisions, havent heard one since early April.  I'm going to email them again on Friday.  Its unfair to have to wait this long for a decision....

[HCI Aspirant]

I have feeling they might send out the decisions this week and next. But yes, definitely email them and follow-up. It would have been nice if everyone got their decisions by now.

At this point I rather hear a rejection than nothing lol.

[HCI Aspirant]

Ugh, I don't blame you. It is frustrating indeed. But I am sure you'll hear good news soon! Have you heard from other schools that you have applied to?

Only applied here, but kind of regretting that now.  I just didn't know I was going to have to wait months!  The pandemic makes life super difficult lol.
