In a massive surprise to me, I just got 2 emails, one about my UMass IT account creation and the other is a welcome to MyPath AI MBA, and confirmed the fees will be 1500$.
Just a reminder that I received a phone call last week from a UMass advisor informing me that international students will not be accepted in this cohort of the program.
Not sure if this is a mistake or not, but from the emails, seems that I am in.
I will request to join the facebook group, if that is still there.
Thanks everyone,
Ok so suspense continues, just got another email from Chelsea saying she will ask admissions to cancel my application, immediately after posting here ?.
Chelsea are you here?
I still do not know what is going on!

Update
Chelsea was supposed to call me today and let me know if my application will be accepted or cancelled, she didn’t call but I received the letter of admission and further instructions about the MBA program, seems to me that I am admitted (probably by an exception).
My UMass email account and access to MyPath is set and working, I joined the facebook group today.
Thanks Chelsea  if you’re still here.
I hope it is the end of this drama, but I will keep you updated.
So far .. I am in.
Thank you all for the information and advice.

I have been accepted to the program also, and have received 900 emails. I hear some people already want to withdraw, so I am waiting to see what the deal is. You have 30 days to pay, and if you don't, you are auto withdrawn with no penalty. The facebook group won't let me in, so if someone here is handling this, HELP!

People like to complain. People also like to play victim at the slightest adversity. It is a new program and has had some issues and disconnect at the rollout. It has been out less than a week, so I wouldn’t take these comments seriously, at least yet.

I experienced some technical glitches the first day or two of the term, but everything has been fine since then.
I have started the three courses that have been opened up for me. They all look pretty straightforward to me. There are quizzes and three written assignments per course, and the rubrics are clear. Grading for written assignments is supposed to take 24 to 72 hours, and you can't submit the next assignment until you've received feedback on the 1st, so students should expect a minimum of 9 days to complete each course. Several courses can be taken simultaneously, so if you are delayed on one due to waiting for grading, you can keep working on another.
if anyone is withdrawing, I would expect it would be for personal reasons unrelated to the program, or because they thought the program structure would be different and they realized that this type of CBE is not for them.
