Admissions update

We are in the midst of admission season. Here is what is going on.

- PhD decisions have been made and letters are going out as I write. First round offers are being made and denials are being sent. We do have a waiting list. Depending on the results of the first round offers, those on the waiting list will then either receive denials or an offer of admission. For reference, Accounting received over 30 applications and expects to enroll 3 students. Average GMAT of these three is 703. Economics received nearly 30 applications. They plan to enroll four. Their average GRE score is 1330. Finance received approximately 30 applications. Two offers of admission were extended. Average GMAT is 735. Information Systems received over 20 applications and has offered admission to three students. Their average GMAT is 653. Management intends to enroll three students this fall. Offers have been extended and their average GMAT is 725. Marketing has not made all admissions decisions yet. They did receive over 30 applications.

- Master of Information Systems deadline was February 1. The Department has made their decisions. They received nearly 70 applications and will extend offers to 10. Their average GMAT is over 600 and average GRE is over 1250. Letters are being done now. They have a very high qualified waiting list. Depending on the results of the first round offers, those on the waiting list will then either be offered admission or will be sent a notification of denial.

- Master of Accountancy deadline is March 1. We expect decisions mid-March and then letters will go out mid-to-late March.

- MBA early decision deadline is April 1. All funding will be awarded to those who apply by this date. The committee will meet mid-April and then decision letters will be sent mid-to-late April.

I have applied for the Master of Information Systems program and your post mentions that the desicions have been made by the department.

You have also mentioned that depending on the first round of offers the applicants on the waiting list would be either offered an addmision or a denial notification will be sent to them.

I request you to clarify if the applicants on the waiting list will be informed about their current status or would they recieve only the final decision.

Emails will be sent to those on the waiting list next week. If you don't get a denial, that's a pretty good indicator that you are on the waiting list.
