Got into GWU for MSIST, questions

<p>Before I ask my question, here's some background. I graduated last year from a Top 50 school with a degree in psychology. After college I found a job with a startup and developed an interest in Information Technology. I applied to Bentley University and George Washington University for the Master of Science in Information Technology.</p>

<p>Today I received an acceptance package from George Washington University (very surprised!) but the form was dated April 25. Here's my question, the form of intent says I need to send in my response two weeks from the date but I received the package a week after the date. Would the school let me send in my response a little after the two weeks? The reason so is that I am re-taking the GMAT on May 20 in order to submit to Bentley. I talked to the Bentley coordinator and she said she would be able to hold my application until I submit the scores.</p>

<p>I feel getting a decision from Bentley after I submit my GMAT will be too long for GWU to wait. Does anyone have any experience or advice in GWU being open to extending my deadline for submission of intent?</p>

<p>Thank you for reading!</p>

<p>I also want to ask is there a difference in acceptance rate for MSIST and Master in Accountancy? I am waiting on my girlfriend’s decision before considering my options. She applied for the M.Accy program and is awaiting her decision.</p>

<p>Why don’t you just ask GWU if there is any flexibility…?</p>

<p>I did but their staff is unreachable…</p>

<p>Anyone have any advice??</p>

<p>well we just found out we both got in so don’t need to ask anymore!</p>

<p>WOOHOO!</p>

<p>what are the placements of GWU MSIST program?
Can anybody advise on this?</p>

<p>Depending on the question(s), I may be able to answer via this medium; however, my personal preference is to answer offline. </p>

Hint - the names of the current Professors are located at [Faculty</a> | Master of Science in Information Systems Technology | School of Business | The George Washington University](<a href=“http://business.gwu.edu/msist/faculty/]Faculty”>http://business.gwu.edu/msist/faculty/).</p>

<p>You may find additional MSIST Professors and the their courses, Undergraduate and Graduate programs, at [Schedule</a> of Classes](<a href=“http://my.gwu.edu/mod/pws/]Schedule”>Schedule of Classes)
Take a look at all semesters and courses offered on the Main & Virginia Science & Technology Campuses.
I believe that some Graduate Professors may also teach undergraduate classes.
Remember to look for classes under INFSYSTEMSTECHNOLOGYMANAGEMENT. Some of the Professors listed as the Instructor may not be listed as a member of the faculty at [Faculty</a> | Master of Science in Information Systems Technology | School of Business | The George Washington University](<a href=“http://business.gwu.edu/msist/faculty/]Faculty”>http://business.gwu.edu/msist/faculty/). I think those Professors are part-time instructors.
