I wanted to check back in on the Georgia State University MSF program as it has been a while since I last updated everyone. The university is coming up on its final application date and I found some interesting updates on their website so I figured it would be a good time to write a new post. Enjoy!

Fall 2022 Application Deadline Extension to Monday, July 11
This is great news for anyone still considering the program, but was worried that they had missed this years window. I would note that this is the final deadline and I would not expect another extension. This gives you about a month to get things finished and submitted.
