<p>just a quick question!</p>

<p>If I am in the media arts and technology program, am I already in the RACH?</p>

<p>Did you mean RCAH (Residential College in the Arts and Humanities)?</p>

<p>If so then… no… the RCAH is a program. MA&T is a completely separate program. If you were in RCAH, that would be listed as your major. If you want to be in it, I suggest sending an email to <a href=“mailto:rcah@msu.edu”>rcah@msu.edu</a> and ask how this is possible. You’ll probably get an email back from Kate, our admissions and academic advisor. She’s SUPER nice and will be able to help you with all things RCAH-related. I’d suggest sending it quickly as the program was past capacity last time I talked to her (don’t worry though, you’ll get in at some point if you want to). </p>

<p>Best of luck! The RCAH is awesome!</p>

<p>General Comments: Yay! Now I just have to wait to see if I get a scholarship!</p>

<p>I applied to Michigan State University as an international freshman applicant.
I checked the status and it said that they made a decision on December 30th and that they’ll mail the decision in 7-10 business days.
I’m just really nervous that I won’t get in…
Did they posted online before you guys received a mail? or no?
And how did the envelop looked like? Was there official acceptance on the envelop?
or bunch of school information?
I’m just freaking out…
If you guys don’t mind, please answer it for me!
Thank you guys and Congrats again!</p>

<p>I have not gotten my letter yet, however I will do my best to help you.</p>

<p>Some people have said that they have read a post online before they received their letters, however others have mentioned that the system “lagged behind”, and it did not show up online until after they received their letter.</p>

<p>The envelope, as far as I know, was a “packet” of info that you would need to know should you choose MSU.</p>

<p>MSU doesn’t post decisions online or over the phone, once you get that message, it’s all about playing the waiting game.</p>

<p>Big envelope = Acceptance
Little envelope = Deferred/Rejected</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
