EscapingBrexit Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Oh to be wealthy enough to attend a program like this without aid! Congratulations to those who got scholarships, that is an amazing achievement. I'd love to know who the McHenry scholars are, they must be the best of the best.

Can you confirm that it rolls over per year or do we need to contact financial aid? Thank you! I did get a bit of a scholarship and mine does renew so long as I maintain a 3.0 GPA, and I imagine most funding offers have similar criteria. That being said, depending on where the funding is coming from (general scholarship fund, third party donors, etc.), there may be different considerations. I would contact Julie or Ja'net in admissions and they can probably confirm for sure. ? Rheana Gray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it will be SAIS or GWU for me (pending SIPA results). mildlyconfusedmar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscapingBrexit Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Does anyone else find it weird that in a two page admission letter there are literally just two lines that hint at congratulations, and there's like no info about the school or the program itself? Does that come later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences sends out the same form letter to every program under their umbrella. I'm guessing you guys didn't get an informal email notification of decision this year? If they run things similarly to last year, within the next week or two, you'll probably get an invitation to a virtual info session for admitted students.

Boddy24 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Can someone who’s been accepted for MSFS let me know what deadline they gave you to put down a deposit so I know when the waitlist might come into play if it ever does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And I've been in touch with Julie on a regular basis too. Side note: Grad admissions emailed me last Thursday asking for proof of degree. Do you think they may be delayed because of that particular requirement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cohort is amazing and even with these past two semesters being virtual, we've found ways to connect and bond. The faculty and staff are unparalleled. Tons of opportunities.

It couldn't hurt to reach out to touch base at some point this week since I'm sure they know word spreads when decisions are released.
