I got an email earlier today to check the portal and found the rejection letter (finally!!). I am just happy now that my cycle is finally over.

Thank you for sharing your info. I'll have to wait for the official letter to come. Just hope this cycle ends... soon...

Has any of you got an email from UMass about an update on the application status? I went into the application portal, but it said my status was "Update Pending". What does this mean? Is there anyone who got a definite acceptance or rejection from UMass?

Just a quick question, Have any of you received an admission, but have not heard from your POI? I am currently only contacting with the Graduate Program Coordinator, but have not received any email from my POIs. Is this a typical situation? Should I wait until the visiting event to meet some of my POIs? Or should I contact them?

I got an email from the Graduate Program Assistant with my official offer letter attached. FYI, I was interviewed around mid-Jan with one of my POIs.

Claiming an acceptance from UW-Seattle. I was a long-time lurker of this forum with some problem with my confirmation email. :S I also got an offer from UGA on Jan. with the much lower stipend & fellowship, while my fit with my POI seems stronger than UW.... Waiting for the visiting event for each school to weigh my options.
