I haven't seen this thread yet so I thought I'd start it. Has anyone gotten a decision from them yet?

[jaydizzle]

I got in on Monday. I live close enough to commute, but my undergrad is ranked significantly above their institution. I don'r know if I will go. I want to practice in Hartford, and I think UCONN would be much better and even Quinnipiac. I was hoping for money from them, but it looks like I won't be getting more unless some other schools throw me more. I would be down for bargaining.

How did they notify you? I'm waiting to hear back from them.

I got a phone call. Yikes, the school doesn't list any salary info. I found online that most are lucky to make 40-50k if they can find a job.

How long ago did you apply?

I think it was 11/22. It was around then. Are you really interested in WNEC?

[ab633]

Yeah, I'd like to be somewhere in New England and my numbers are on the low end for most of the other schools. What about you?

I might be good for some schools better than WNEC, it will depend on how much they want my GPA. I was definitely a shoe in for WNEC though. I like UCONN a lot, but I am not sure I will get in. I am hoping that perhaps they will throw me a bone and take me PT.

[ab633]

Did they give you any scholly info?

[jaydizzle]

Did they give you any scholly info?

Yes, I got a good amount. I rather not say how much. I was a bit disappointed. I thought I would be getting more. I guess I can always negotiate if other places give more.

[ab633]

Yeah, $$ will be a big factor in my decision. Did you apply to UNH also?

[jaydizzle]

Na. I applied to UCONN, Quinnipiac, Penn State, Suffolk, Marquette, Michigan State, and other schools that are reaches.

[ab633]

That's pretty similar to me. Have you heard anything from Michigan State? I get deferred to "re-review in February."

[ElvisAaron]

I went complete 11/16 and got the phone call 12/16.
Applied for part time program, decent scholarship offer.

They gave me 3 weeks to write a why MSU essay. Did they email you telling you they would like a why MSU essay for scholarship consideration and admission? I just went back to complete after I submitted my essay. I might be hearing soon.

[ab633]

No, they just said they would like to re-review my file in mid February. I never got an email just snail mail. It said I should supplement my file with documents that speak to my interest in the university so I took that as meaning a why msu essay which I wrote and submitted. Mine was about a page long. How long was yours?

They told me to do a 2 page one on why MSU and what career goals I had. It was tough for me heh. Best of luck to you. If you want to chat any time over AIM or something give me a PM.
