nero15 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 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?
Xuanyu Fang Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Hi! I completed on Jan 9th, haven't heard anything yet, from previous years' experience, it would probably be in March
UMwolverine Posted March 4, 2021 Posted March 4, 2021 I’ve completed mine on Jan and got my completion email on Jan 12th. As I have also seen the previous gradcafe conversations about the umsi, I’m thinking either tmrw or next Friday will be the time for the first round results. Yet, due to COVID, I’m not 100% sure if we’ll even get it by then. Which program have you guys applied to?
WhattoDoo Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I'm keep checking my email and portal altho I know this won't make the decision any faster. I hope the results come out soon. :') I applied to HCI/UX track!
UMwolverine Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I know... I’m also checking it at least 3 or 4 times a day... Hope it comes out in soon though. Cauz this waiting frustrates me:(

The earliest results have been released historically is mid march. In a year like this, I think that results will be released during the latter half of march.

Yet, what I have seen through the cafe is that, most of the first accepted applicants had their result in the beginning week of March, although due to COVID things might be a lot different.

I see results came out as early as of March 2nd just a couple years back. It seems like the PHD results were released quite early this year, so I’m hoping the decisions for masters will come out soon too. Edited March 6, 2021 by Blue Hour

That was several years ago and application submissions have definitely gone up this cycle.

It hasn't been published as fact anywhere.... but applications across many institutions have gone up significantly.
ish235 Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Hi Guys, still waiting on my decision too. I applied on Jan 15th. Sent them an email asking when I should be hearing back, lets see what they say. Blue Hour, deeyeee and PippaKelly 3
PippaKelly Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Wow, it's strange that it takes so long for the answer to come! :CC Edited March 15, 2021 by PippaKelly
Xuanyu Fang Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 This is basically the only one program that I'm still waiting for, hope they will come up soon!
Tiger76 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 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?

I was debating about whether to send them an email cuz the wait is KILLING me...... thanks for doing this and hope we hear from them soon lol
UMwolverine Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 This is what I received about 2 weeks ago when I asked about when will we start hearing decision: Thank you for your email. We will release decisions as soon as they are available. You can check your application status on your student application portal, and a notification email will be sent to you when a decision is made available. We thank you and appreciate your patience as you await an admission decision. They did not mention any specific dates and it kinda feels like this was an automatic response. I really want to know when it will be as well....
mooshy Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 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.

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.

What I meant was where they post the results. But I guess they'll send a notification via mail. But a date helps!

Arra Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) May I ask when you guys submitted the application? I submitted on Dec 28 but still haven’t received any decision email. Edited March 18, 2021 by Arra
