Hi there,  I was redirected to MSOR program from the MFE.  I sent in the reply email containing the paragraph as they requested.  This was nearly a week ago and I haven't heard anything back from them acknowledging my reply or providing any further information.

Has anyone else replied to their redirect, and have you heard anything from them yet?  They mentioned a deadline in the email, will they only start replying and reviewing after the deadline? 

Any info from current or past graduates of the MSOR programs who is familiar with this process is very much appreciated as well!

Thanks!
