What is this message from MSU supposed to mean?

My Beaspartan page shows the following message. I sent my SAT scores in on the 27th (the day the results were out) but the portal still says it’s awaiting the scores. Every other university I sent the scores to has already received it. Also, does this mean I have been accepted and they’re just waiting for me to meet the English proficiency requirement?

"Our office has completed an initial review of your application for admission. Before we can finalize your decision, however, you must submit proof of your English language proficiency. You have either:

  • failed to submit an English language proficiency exam
  • or, the exam you have previously submitted does not meet the requirements needed for admission to Michigan State
  • or, we have not yet received an official score.

Scores must be submitted directly to MSU from the testing agency. Note that scores may take several weeks to be loaded to your file after you have requested them from the testing agency. Please check your Document Status page to view the documents/scores our office has received.

Please review MSU’s requirements for English language proficiency."

It sounds like you’ve been accepted, imo, and they’re just waiting.

bump.

I don’t think it sounds like you’ve been admitted. To me, it sounds like they are waiting for you to demonstrate that you have met the English proficiency requirement and until then, your application is incomplete. But I suggest contacting the Admissions office to be sure…everyone here is just guessing.

To me, this only means that they looked at your application, saw that their was something missing, and moved on. Once you do send them the score, I think they will revisit the application and give a decision based off of that. I don’t see why they would waste time going over an incomplete application when they can get to the people who have given MSU what documents they require.

Turns out they didn’t receive my SAT score until about 18 days after I sent my scores on the Collegeboard website. I’m hoping that they send a decision out ASAP now that they’ve received it. Thanks to everyone on this thread. :slight_smile:

I got admitted. :slight_smile:
