@pianolife44 CONGRATS! How did you find out? Was there an email or did you see your name in the directory?

Did they specifically say AI program in the email?

I didn’t get anything. Maybe my early rejection letter was still a rejection letter

@MyGPAIsAnL same here

@pianolife44 If you recieved a letter, would you mind copying and pasting it here? This would help answer some questions.

@plp000 Rip us. Maybe it’s the same with SAMS, where some people are notified early? @pianolife44 are you on the directory? I’m not

I got rejected but its not the end of the world

I saw my name in the directory. I’ll most likely call them later tonight for confirmation

@Mahindra How do you know if you got rejected from AI? Was there an email?

@Daverybest Yes, I got an email. It was under promotions for me.

Also, congrats!

Oh wait I just got an email too for those who are wondering what it looks like:
