Received an email late Tuesday from MSU basically saying initial review of application is good to go and it has moved onto committee review.
Also said: Here’s what you can expect with our timeline moving forward:
- All applications will be reviewed during the Fall 2019 semester
- Decisions regarding interviews should be made by early December
- Emails will be sent by mid-December indicating whether each applicant has been invited to interview
- Not all applicants are invited for interviews, but an interview is required to continue in our admissions process
- All interviews will be held on campus during the first two weeks of February at Mississippi State University’s Wise Center
- Final admissions decisions should be made within two weeks after all interviews have been completed
- Emails will be sent to each applicant notifying them of a decision
- Applicants have until April 15th to accept a position
To provide you with some context about our process, we received 1,524 applications last year and interviewed 328 applicants. We had an entering class of 96 students with an average GPA of 3.60. For this year, we have received 1,236 applications and plan to invite approximately 370 students to interview.
Sounds promising - Less applications and more interview invites than last year! That's what I'm talking about Mississippi!
