<p>Yes, I know this is the Amherst forum, but there isn't one for UMD. </p>
<p>So. Due to really awful family stuff, college stuff didn't work out as planned. As a fluke, I applied to Umass Dartmouth 2 weeks ago since I called and they had spots AND housing available. Like, lucky break.</p>
<p>My application for Anthropology - option SOC has been received and I'm praying they decide soon since classes start in 3 weeks. I was rejected from UMass Amherst, and I'm just wondering if this should be any easier?</p>
