yup, anticipation is killin me, what time do you think it'll come out? I'm expecting it to come out in the afternoon, just cause the other school results also came around 5/6 EST but hopefully I'm wrong and it's earlier

Yeah I hope it comes earlier too but it is so close now, and we have waited for soo long, the near we get the more scared I am even to open the result.

Thanks, @tiaki! What's class size like this year compared to your batch? and what percentage of applicants got fin-aid in your batch?

I don’t know how many people were admitted this year but 1) from what I’ve heard, the average pre-pandemic class size was between 160-180. Idk how many initial acceptances that would correlate to, and 2) I personally don’t think the school could handle having 2 huge classes at the same time.

It seems most people got at least some FA, a lot of people have assistantships ($3k/yr job, converts to pure scholarship 2nd yr). The big Nicholas Scholars scholarship selects 15 people per cohort and covers about 70% of tuition; that’s the only one I know for sure! 

Unfortunately, as professional programs none of the 4 big MEM programs have across the board phenomenal financial aid but I’ve definitely heard many people (including myself) say aid was a major part of choosing NSOE. Durham also had the cheapest cost of living of my options, and Duke tuition was somehow slightly cheaper too (not that it’s affordable).

I understand applications were in the 700-800 range.

How did it go? I would love to hear about SEAS more

[youngturtle]

btw i called YSE to see if I could get a little more intel on what time decisions come out but they just said by 5

they also said that it's going to be sent in mass email, so that means some people will get the email before others. I guess if you start seeing people post on this thread that they got a result and you haven't received anything, don't stress and give it a bit more time!

embarrassing that I don't know this, but why does a mass email get delivered at different times to different people? Does it depend on geographic location?

[ramreg]
