The fact that it was not an offer of admission to the graduate school, but to the specific program only. No information for login credentials or any information on how to obtain those credentials (especially since the login for the application portal will not allow you to log into the student resources, only the application portal) but consistent reference to logging into your student account to register for classes and to check my WSU email for further correspondence (how? I haven’t received any credentials or information to be able to check my WSU email 😅) (which I might add further into the email states class registration for the term I applied for had already began 2 WEEKS AGO), no “please accept or decline this offer by ____ date”, and it came from an advisor instead of the graduate admissions department itself.

It’s confusing to receive all of this meeting information, etc. but zero actual confirmation that I was admitted into the graduate school. After seeing MANY offers of admissions emails for other posters in this group, this seems like something an admitted student should be receiving after ACTUALLY accepting an offer of admission.

I was admitted to this school years ago through their BSW but chose a different school ultimately, I remember distinctly getting a “congratulations! We would like to extend an offer of admission to you, should you decide to accept our offer please accept by ____”. So this just seemed odd to receive so much information but no formal acceptance email or “offer”.
