Hi My name is Leo. I just received email confirmation about my acceptance to Spring 2021 cohort.
I would like to find my future classmates here (at least in application right now). We can share with each other about your thoughts or status.
Let me know under this thread!!

Is anyone planning to start earlier?
How many years do you plan to compete your degree?

I just applied today. It's been a whirlwind the past month with making decisions about which schools to apply to and I had the application deadline down as today, so I missed the deadline for Fall and applied for Spring 2021. I was hoping to get accepted and start in October but everything happens for a reason, right? I am waiting for my letters of recommendation to come in and hopefully I get an interview and get in. I'll keep you posted but congratulations to you on getting accepted! :thumbsup:

I just got accepted into the 2021 Spring program. It took them about 3+ weeks to get back to me after my interview, and I'm waiting for the official letter now.

I just got accepted. I had my interview yesterday afternoon and received the e-mail today. I've also applied to Boston University's online MBA program. I'm still awaiting decision from BU but Geis' program seems much more attractive.

I'm looking to finish either program in about 3 years since I'm an accountant and January classes would be too much since we're wrapping up year-end financials.

I got my official letter of admission today, along with my student number and other details.
Going to spend some time setting everything up.

I haven't been prompted to make any type of payment so far, I wonder if the deposit has been waived.

Are you referring to the application fee? I asked them during the coffee chat and they said the application fee was waived.

EDIT: nevermind, I read too fast. You weren't referring to the application fee.

I applied 9/16 and my last LOR came in 9/23. Received an invitation to interview today and I'll keep you posted once I interview, as I haven't set it up yet.

Hey guys, best wish on your interview and final decisions.
I am currently enrolled in Spring 2021, but started early with one course in Fall 2020.
After being into program, I have been busy at setting up my student NetID, email, connecting to Coursera, and degree plan blablabla.

Also, after your enrollment the school will assign your mentor student, who is helpful to answer your questions regarding to next step. I have Zoomed my mentor and he is very answering to my questions.

Just want to share if you already want to know whats going on after enrollment.

Nice! Which course are you taking for Fall 2020?
Did you have to pay any tuition only after registering?

I was referring to the $250.00 fee to hold your place ( I could be wrong) that you pay after accepting the offer. I saw a message that this was waived for Fall 2020, so I assumed the same for Spring 2021.

No, I dont have to pay any tuition yet. I was told that normally 3-4 weeks after you start taking course, they will charge you then. The purpose not to charge right after you register for a course is simply becuz they dont want people pay first then find out want to drop the class. It causes chaos. I registered on 9/13 for BADM509, and I assume the payment will not due until the end of October.

Thank you for the clarification. All the best in the course!
Spring 2021 registration begins only in early November, so I suppose I still have time.
