A note about admissions this year

<p>I file papers at CMU and I've noticed A LOT more people waitlisted than accepted or rejected this year. There are definitely more ppl waitlisted than rejected so far (I think this is RD now). </p>

<p>Good luck everyone and keep up the grades just in case.</p>

<p>i think colleges are afraid that there is going to be less yield this year since students are applying to more colleges. so waitlisting more kids makes sense to me.</p>

<p>i wonder if other schools are doing this too. hmm.</p>

<p>Haha, can you check my file and tell me if I've been rejected yet?</p>

<p>haha. possible but he's not going to tell you...or will he?!</p>

<p>They have a huge book of Accept/Reject/Waitlist but no names. I'd have to look up the numbers corresponding to the account which is risky so you'll just have to wait :)</p>

<p>so... I'm guessing it's a little late for supplementary material</p>

<p>Well not if you're waitlisted.</p>

<p>to which program are you applying for?</p>

<p>Computer science, hopefully make my way to the Robotics Institute</p>

<p>hey wait a second.
does that mean they already finished making admission decisions?
cause i just sent missing materials that should arrive very soon--was it worthless?</p>

<p>No they don't have the decisions out for EVERYONE. Plus I bet its different for transfers.</p>

<p>what numbers? do you mean our admission ids? :)</p>

<p>application ID would sound logical. (maybe? another number for security reasons?)</p>

<p>Are there a lot of admission decisions? Is there any chance that they will mail out decisions soon?</p>

<p>I hope they send decisions out mid march...I don't want to wait until April.</p>

<p>I've seen a HUGE stack of papers but I have no idea what a stack of 18,000+ apps looks like but I definitely know some applications are yet to be filed (some ppl are still missing information while others are bein reviewed).</p>

<p>They will probably not be as late as April to send out final decisions.</p>

<p>Did anyone else get that email saying decisions will be received between March 21st and April 21st?</p>

<p>i received an email saying they havent received my transcript today, if its anny relevent...</p>

<p>by the way, which school/major are you applying for?</p>
