5 rejections, no acceptances already... Going well! :(

3rd response, first rejection.

Email directing me to a very informal rejection on the website. Funny because the website said it won't update your status online for 21 days after they've made a decision to make sure you get your status via postal mail first...way to be professional Umass! Congrats to those that got in :-)

Email link to website; very impersonal "denied"

Mrow?

An email informed of status change.

Changed status to "denied." Didnt even write a consolation note. Rude

An email informed change of status.

these late night decisions! why do rejection decisions have to come in the midnight? Paper rejected, now university. poor day. congratulations to all UMass acceptances!

Depressed...

"Offer of admission also includes funding most typically in the form of an assistantship. " From. Erica Scharrer, Associate Professor of Communication.

Email to check the website. Not very surprised since my background is in another field, but still sad.

nice personal e-mail from the program coordinator... ah! Screw you Berkeley and Harvard! I have other options as well... Good luck everyone! I really wish you the best!

funding offered "within the next few weeks"/I plan to decline-- good luck to those on waitlist!

Email from Graduate Program Director, "We are able to provide you with a teaching assistantship that will pay your tuition and a monthly stipend". Hooray!
