A couple questions about the waitlist

Well none of us got in :expressionless:

crazy :frowning: Where are you all going instead?

I did not get that email
And when i called 20 minutes ago they said the prompt will be sent today

@ellibutton111 Which college are you priority wait listed ? SCS/ CIT/ ā€¦

Information systems and dietrich

did you just get this email: Thank you for your continued interest in Carnegie Mellon.

We are unexpectedly announcing that we are unable to remove anyone from the Carnegie Mellon Priority Waiting List. Our freshman class is currently full and, at this point, we do not anticipate further openings. While we are thankful to have enrolled our freshman class, we recognize that there are many terrific candidates currently on our Priority Waiting List, and that this news is disappointing. Itā€™s unusual for Carnegie Mellon to have no waiting list activity. Please know that we are grateful for the interest you have shown in Carnegie Mellon. It has been a pleasure getting to know so many of you through your applications, updates and campus visits.

A decision letter noting this outcome will be available on Where Am I in the Process on May 6 by 5:00 p.m. EST. No additional action is required at this time.

With many thanks and best wishes for your future college success.

Sincerely,

The Office of Admission
Carnegie Mellon University

I did not get that email

Yes we all got that email

I called the admissions office too and the lady was being evasive/ambiguous as well, I guess this was the reason why

Why did i not get this email!

Did you check your spam

Nothing in spam

just called admissions office: this year over enrolled and they will not use wait list

For all schools?

iā€™m done

it seems like it was across the boardā€¦ thatā€™s the way I read it ā€¦ but maybe not Ellie? maybe not for all schools. definitely for SCS and CIT

Sigh, USC it is then

Well I guess Iā€™m just going down the street to University of Pittsburgh, then. They have a nice public affairs and public policy program, which I will be majoring in.

This is a surprise, given that I was on PWL for Dietrich, which usually has low enrollment rates. But at the same time, given the prestige of CMU, I had a feeling lots of people wanted to accept their admissions offers.

The CMU wait list page still looks the same, with the options to ā€œsave my choicesā€ still there. I guess they really didnā€™t see this coming.

@elliebutton111 Can confirm for school of IS (Information Systems) tooā€¦very unusual. Oh well! A bit disappointing, but CMU was too expensive for me anyways :stuck_out_tongue:

just found out today too for MCS and CIT. kinda disappointed since I was keeping my hopes up after reading posts on other websites about the PWL acceptance rate at cmu. Welp, I guess RPI is where iā€™m going next year!
