Accepted to Masters program instead of PhD due to lack of funding

No GRE, filmmaking & motion graphics background, no direct UX-related projects before, self-taught UX basics, 2 long-term internships, and freelanced during and after undergrad.

NASA OCS internship, 1-year marine biology research, 3 years lab and field experience, several leadership roles on campus, and several publications.

Didn't get into the Ph.D. program but got offered a spot in the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. I'm pretty sure it's unfunded so immediately off the table, unfortunately.

generic rejection - ~20/1000 applicants accepted

Thank you for your application to the University of Washington Graduate School. Your application to the doctoral program in Psychology at the University of Washington has been reviewed by the faculty of the area designated in your application. Unfortunately, we are not able to recommend your admission to the Dean of the Graduate School. Since we make offers of admission to only about 20 out of more than 1000 applicants, many very well qualified applicants must be turned away. On behalf of our colleagues, we thank you for applying to the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington, and wish you well in the pursuit of your educational goals.

Master's GPA 3.6 | 3 first-authored publications, and 1 second authored publication in the works | This cycle of admissions really seems brutal

very excited! was told will receive the offer a week earlier but seeing the admission letter itself is way better

Documenting FLAS results for anyone else who may want to know what the results timeline looks like. I was named an alternate for the EAC FLAS. Still waiting on Global Center results (*fingers crossed*)

Hey, going to reject offers from UW seattle and MSU today. Can someone tell me which one is better between Maryland and Texas A&M if you wanna do pol eco, public eco, inequality. I have offers from both places and I'm really confused. Also I'm probably on a waitlist on UBC which strictly dominates all choices mentioned above.

I applied for PhD program but I received an acceptance to MS(Non-Thesis) program. So, I rejected that offer.

CMT mainly (though can do CME). Met with PI once, with overlapping interest.

Offered $4.5k scholarship which is disappointing to say the least. FLAS funding info should come out sometime this week or next.

Ignore wait list. Has anybody received anything from these guys? Should I assume rejection at this point?

Disregard the date of notification and status. Has anybody received an admission decision after the virtual visits and second round of interviews.
