<p>I am on the priority waitlist. I have heard that for the priority waitlist students, they can only use offers from the public institutions to compete with cmu's offer. Is this really true?</p>
<p>Any response is very much appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>I would assume they are going to look at private colleges, as they don't feel they "compete" with public ones. For regular admittees, they specifically state in the FA letter that they will only look at private college aid offers.</p>
<p>i hope so.
because my offers from unc chapel hill and wisconsin madison are definitely not enough for a private school.
thank you for the reply.</p>
