SDtoMPP Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Surprised not to see a thread for McCourt yet. Last year it seems they started admitting in early February and then everyone's was available by 3/4 (a Wednesday, for what it's worth). It seems most people found out via their application portal, not by email. I saw a few posts here and there this year about being admitted starting this week. Has anyone heard back already?

jakemc Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I got an email last week (or maybe two weeks ago) from McCourt saying I was accepted and I should wait to hear from the Graduate School as they will be preparing and uploading the acceptance letters onto the portal.

krob1267 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Same here, I received an acceptance email about a week and a half ago. Based on last year's responses it looks like it could be awhile before funding decisions are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneeps Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I received an acceptance email 1-2 weeks ago. I'm excited, but still waiting to hear about funding. It looks like acceptances have been trickling in, so I'm sure you'll hear back soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDtoMPP Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 Welp, this is starting to look like I haven't heard because I'm not getting in haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the Fall admissions cycle thread, someone just got an acceptance from them yesterday. Hang in there - I know from experience that self-doubt rears its ugly head during this whole process, but I wouldn't assume you're getting a rejection. jakemc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfe510 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 In the same boat as @SDtoMPP no word so I'm kind of expecting the worst. Congrats to all of you who have gotten your acceptances and good luck to everyone still waiting it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I have more enticing offers so unless they offer some crazy funding, I'll probably turn them down anyways. But still, it would be nice to know....

mls0325 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Has anybody heard back from them regarding the "official online admission offer" yet? I got an email congratulating me on getting admitted on Feb. 24th and telling me to look out for this, but I haven't gotten anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenNoodles Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I got one of those unofficial acceptances back at the end of Feb as well, so I contacted admissions to ask when funding decisions would be announced. They said funding decisions would be announced "in the next few weeks" so now I'm wondering if maybe the official GSAS notification will come out with funding info, and both won't happen for another week or so (because wouldn't this week technically be "next couple of weeks"? Or maybe I'm reading too much into it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weksa Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I was sent an acceptance email as well and told the same as pretty much everyone else. However, I just took a quick trip to DC and met with a professor there who happens to be on the scholarship committee and he said that funding decisions should be released late March/early April.

SDtoMPP Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 I feel like I'm never going to hear back from them.. but I've decided it's probably because they didn't complete my application until 2/22. They were waiting for a transcript for a class I'm still enrolled in and I didn't realize they were waiting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLCoolJ1585 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Same thing happened to me. They are picky, fancy folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDtoMPP Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ugh, just realized their site says decisions are released 6-8 weeks after the application is completed. Means I probably won't get one until April. That means I'm definitely turning them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9870Sergio Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I got in a few weeks ago, but no word on funding :/ We will see, we will see how long it takes them to release the official letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeb!2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Same here -- they said my application was incomplete (it wasn't), and they e-mailed on Feb. 22 to say it was complete, and I'd hear back. I got accepted yesterday. So, just 2-3 weeks turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfe510 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 My application says it was completed on January 15, which is just shy of 8 weeks ago. Wondering why I still haven't heard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenNoodles Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Does anyone know when the admit open houses are this year? Looks like last year they were in late March and early April (https://mccourt.georgetown.edu/newstudents/openhouse-orientation) so I'd imagine something similar this year but does anyone know for sure?
