As I said, they recognized my work experience and my writing portfolio. I had to spend a lot of time gathering all the evidence of my published work, but essentially, I proved that I have 500+ published articles in various countries, plus I sent some creative writing samples. I also had to write a personal statement explaining how I am a good fit for the course and presenting my experience in writing.
And I paid the first part of the fee before getting officially enrolled (strongly suggested by the Student Advisor), so I guess that helped as well ;-)
They are a legit British brick-and-mortar classified in US News ranking, offering online courses and they are present in Anabin, so doesn't seem to be a scam. Plus, their student support is wonderful. And they waived my English proficiency requirements as well. So a pretty nice opportunity but I still think it'd be best to get a Bachelor's, especially in order to avoid doubts about the legitimacy of the MA degree without having a BA :-)

Also, since I have already begun the topic of degree planning here, adding some facts about me to help you to understand my situation – maybe you'll have some better advice for me :-) What is important for me is to find degrees that will actually broaden my horizons – I don't want to study just to have a diploma, especially with that UMPI WordArt ;-)
