Back in May 21st, I received an acceptance email from the Executive Director of the Fully Employed MBA Program at UCI with an award of a scholarship for my strong applications. I was told that I will be receiving an email from the graduate school to submit my letter of intent and deposit.

However, it has been 3 months and I have not received anything. I called in to check many times and I was told that I was still pending for approval until this day. I was finally told today that if it does not get processed by September 1st, I will most likely be rescinded.

Is this allowed? Anyone else have this issue or had this issue before? The program directors have tried to escalate it to the graduate school but it is still not processed. Is there anything I can do?
