Acceptance Email From Coach?

<h2>I got an email from a track coach of a university that had the subject of "FAFSA Information" and in it it said:</h2>

<p>"my name"</p>

<p>Once again we would like to CONGRATULATE you on being accepted to Carnegie Mellon University!!! The regular decision letters will begin to be sent out on March 22nd.</p>

<h2>If you are applying for Financial Aide, you should have filled out the FAFSA forms and CMU's Financial Aide Application. IF you haven't here is the link for that information:</h2>

<p>and then it goes on with some info on fafsa.
Can a coach email me telling me I'm accepted or is it most likely a mistake? I'm really happy if I got in because it is one of my top choices, but I'm being very skeptical and wary. Could there be a chance that it's an accidental email? And if so how would this situation work out? Hahaha I want to be happy but I also don't want to be too optimistic.</p>

<p>Also did anyone else get an early acceptance kind of notice?</p>

<p>yep! something similar totally happened to me too, it isn’t a joke! :slight_smile: congrats!!</p>

<p>I received a notification from the swim coach way before the decision date for ED II. Congrats! :-)</p>

<p>You guys are awesome! I’m hoping for the best and becoming optimistic nowww. just one more week now for the letters! Thanks again guys!</p>

<p>Last year an XC coach emailed me a month or two early about my acceptance. I’d say you’re pretty solid :)</p>

<p>I got the same email! (also from the track coach). Like you, hoping for the best!</p>

<p>I guess so! Congrats!</p>

<p>I got the official cmu FAT acceptance letter in the mail today so I’m guessing you guys were right :wink: HAHA thanks a bunch guys and for future reference, the email was legit!!! WOOHOO thanks againn!</p>
