Checked the portal; awaiting funding decision.

Email acceptance saying they only had two nonfiction spots this year, and are hoping to schedule a phone call. 1a/0r/2p

Full funding and a TAship. Applied in poetry but the MFA is general Creative Writing.

Checked my portal and the decision letter was there!

I just checked my portal and the decision was there! I haven't heard about any other people being notified so I checked on a whim. I'm so ecstatic I can't even talk rn. Funding to come :)

Rejection. Notified via email to check portal. "There has been a change to your application status at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. To review the details of this change, log in to our student information system (SPIRE)."

Got a notification that my decision was pending, looked at the portal and it said "denied" with a form letter attached. Suspected it since I didn't get an interview. Still stings though :/

Logged into portal and saw update
