Fellow applicants, I got the scholarship e-mail earlier this hour!

Congratulations!! :)

BTW, How much tuition does that cover?

It is a GA with in-state tuition, partial tuition remittance and stipend which sum up to a 40% tuition waiver! Did you get the e-mail yet?

Congratulations KK!

Thank you, ymMBA! Good luck to you! Keep us posted!!

Thank you, KK! I just had my interview yesterday and it took more than an hour. I was impressed that the interviewer (one of the adcom member) actually read through all my application materials - he had both my resume and essay printouts with highlights lying on the table while interviewing me, he also had a 4-page detailed interview-quetion-memo, on which he wrote down quite some notes throughout the interview. I know that some other schools really just had blind interviews.

In general I had an OK feeling, but because the interviewer is quite senior and very professional, it was difficult to tell the result now.

One important information that could be reassuring to all R3 applicants is that the decision will come out ON or BEFORE the April 15th notification deadline! This information has been confirmed by my interviewer. Most likely 4-6 weeks after my interview. Of course, it could still take longer, latest until the April 15th, but it definitely gives me a better feeling than having to wait for another 2 months plus!

I got the email about admitted students weekend (ASW) on Feb 28/March 1. However, the deadline for a response for R1 is Feb 21. Anyone going to attend ASW? Anyone thinking of asking for a response extension until after ASW or just going to make the decision without it?

It was right in the body of my admissions letter.

You mean official admit letter right? I haven't received mine as I'm yet to submit my finances form.

Either way, it is our responsibility to submit the finance form and pay the deposit before the deadline. Otherwise, the school would assume that we aren't accepting the admission offer.

Yes, in my official admit letter. I must submit my deposit and my acceptance by Feb 21. All of my finance forms etc were submitted when I applied to expedite this process.

Yes, I agree but they never have informed us about the deadline to submit the finance form/pay deposit. Of course, we came to know from other sources but it would have been helpful if the adcom had mentioned the same!
