<p>So I got a call yesterday congratulating me on getting into CMU.</p>
<p>I sent in the deposit online last night but there was no student ID number to fill out or anywhere to log in or anything like that... I just gave them my name and address and my moms credit card details to charge the $800 deposit fee.</p>
<p>I haven't gotten any confirmation and I was just wondering what I'm supposed to do because I want to apply for housing ASAP so I have a chance of getting my requests.</p>
<p>Do I wait for something in the mail? I tried calling them today but the office was closed.
I guess I'll wait for a bit but can anyone tell me how this works?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Congratulations!
Based our experience so far (D. is an incoming fresher) it’s worth following up. Their servers have been up and down, some forms haven’t been available (even 'tho they indicate they are), and calls to the “front office” are often to individuals who are not very helpful, sometimes just short of rude, and don’t have much information. But emails to the various office have had a very good response. Once you can get to the enrollment page, you can navigate through the various forms you’ll need to complete. And get your andrew ID/password. Your student ID is (default) the first 8 numbers of your social security number – but you can fill in a form to have a random number assigned (a good idea I think).</p>
<p>haven’t gotten mine either–I think i’ll call them tomorrow.</p>
<p>Thanks sheffield! I think I’ll drop them a call and maybe follow that up with an email if necessary.</p>
<p>n0stalgia, I’ll be doing the same. Good luck :)</p>
