So they redistribute on their timeline not yours. Thank you for your response! I already interviewed and was able to get an answer for that questions and a clear picture of what happens. Many thanks

What I was referring to is that the timeline can be more uncertain if they offer someone the scholarship, the person says no and then they have to go down the list of who is the next best person available.

Poolie95 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Hi all, has anyone who interviewed for the McCourt Scholar award heard back regarding whether or not they got it?
lemonscone Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Anyone who applied by the priority deadline but hasn't heard back yet: Any idea of when we will hear?

I was just thinking about posting here with the same question. Feels a bit weird that we haven’t heard yet.

I think the result isn't out yet Sorry I was referring to the McCourt scholarship, I haven’t received an official email yet but I saw some folks on this chat talking about the McCourt scholar interview and so I chimed in w/ my question. I still haven’t seen the official email yet but I think applicants who were finalists for the McCourt scholarship got an email last week or so from admissions inviting them to interview for the scholarship since it’s only 5 students that end up receiving it. I didn’t end up getting the scholarship after interviewing but the admissions rep said that I was still recommended for admission and that the official decisions would go out in a “couple of days”. freebirdtraveller 1
freebirdtraveller Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 when can we expect a decision? i just saw the upload button has disappeared from the application?

They told me I am an alternate too and increased my initial financial aid offer. But not sure that is enough to make me wanna commit to enrolling!

JustAnAveragePerson Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Just now, freebirdtraveller said: Congratulation...Yes i also got in...How much scholarship did they offer? I got 9.5K a semester… also waiting on a scholarship I applied for seperately
calpat33 Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Just got in to MIDP today too! I have a few friends who go to Georgetown currently, so I know there was a Facebook group for all admitted grad students - has anyone seen something like that this year? And if someone could post another link to the McCourt discord I'd appreciate it!
dev0900 Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Just got in to MIDP with a small scholarship, 14k per year! So happy and a little surprised. Probably won’t be able to ultimately afford it but I’m just going to be happy for a minute before doing the math lol Edited March 11, 2022 by dev0900 added program

Congratulations to you! I think Georgetown will only redo your merit aid if you have new things added to your resume like a job/certification/award

I've literally only heard good things! I was actually on the fence about applying but they convinced me with how much they love the campus, faculty, etc. in their prospective grad programs. freebirdtraveller 1
ShowBellsandWhistles Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Wow, didn't think I was going to get in, let alone with a merit scholarship. Congrats, all!
atover Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 I got in! 9.5k per semester. I’m still waiting on a few schools but I’m happy
