<p>Decisions are online right now. Good luck all.</p>
<p>My decision isn’t there. It says they intend for me to receive the letter first. Any tips as to where to find it</p>
<p>In admission box: Denied</p>
<p>Oh, well, D gave it the 'ol college try and I am convinced the wonderful audition experience gave her immeasurable confidence for all the other auditions that followed!</p>
<p>collegesearch26, this happened to my D six years ago. I had read on CC that others could see their decision online but not my kid. Hers was online several days after the others and she did received the Priority Wait List in the mail. Not saying you will get a wait list, but just saying that the online status did not change for everyone at the same time, at least in her year.</p>
<p>Mine says not admitted. Any chance of a waitlist or would it say waitlist?</p>
<p>I can’t imagine getting a wait list after a college status that says “not admitted.” I can’t answer for CMU but that is my general feeling overall. The wait list at CMU is very short and the odds are very long.</p>
<p>Typically, at a college, you will get one of three decisions: accepted, denied, wait listed. I have never heard of someone wait listed at a college where a college also says “not admitted.”</p>
<p>I’m expecting to get denied but I want someone who knows the CMU process to comment on this. It says in one box on a table not admitted to musical theatre.</p>
<p>If you were wait listed, I think it would say wait listed. Wait listed is not the same as “not admitted.” </p>
<p>I believe when my kid was wait listed, after we got the snail mail letter, her status was changed to wait listed. </p>
<p>Also, at CMU, if not admitted for the MT program, you cannot be admitted separately to the university.</p>
<p>You could call and ask CMU directly if “not admitted” can be a status that is used for wait listed applicants. </p>
<p>Or you can wait for the snail mail letter to arrive, which should arrive at any moment.</p>
<p>Still no phone call, no letter, and no decision listed on line yet for my son. Frustrating!</p>
<p>OMG! My son was waitlisted! I did not know CMU waitlisted. Anyone know what his chances are of moving off the waitlist?</p>
<p>@kathy10706: Understand your frustration. Reached out to the Admissions office this morning and they confirmed my personal letter went out in Friday’s mail and would therefore decision would be online after 12:01am EST tonight. They seem to be responding pretty quickly if you also use Twitter and Facebook (response within an hour or so).</p>
<p>waitlisted for MT!! :)</p>
<p>Collegesearch26,</p>
<p>I also have “not admitted” under my decision section on the website. Still haven’t received the snail mail letter. I’m sure it will come tomorrow, but I’m really hoping that this means I was waitlisted for Drama. I know that I have friends who were notified of their waitlisting for MT via the website this morning… as in it said “wait list” on the site. </p>
<p>Did you find out if “not admitted” is different than “denied” ?</p>
<p>@sadiedkh, did your D’s decision box, in fact, say “denied”?</p>
<p>Sorry for the meticulous craziness, I’m just so anxious!</p>
<p>“Not admitted” is a polite way to indicate “denied” or “rejected.”</p>
<p>I think the answer is above…that those who were wait listed are saying their status indeed indicated “wait list.”</p>
<p>Honestly, I have never heard of wait listed students being referred to as “not admitted” or “denied.” It is a different status.</p>
<p>well we want to hear it from people that actually know what they are talking about in regards to CMU, and you do not have any more than common sense and experience with other colleges. So with all due respect, you are not the authority</p>
<p>And songs7 I am hoping for at least an acting waitlist as well! Good luck! And who cares it’s just one school! Good luck to everyone waitlisted</p>
<p>

<p>collegesearch, you are right…I am NOT the authority and I am not connected to CMU. I never said I was posting FACTS. It is a discussion forum and I offered all that I know on the subject. My own kid was waitlisted at CMU and so I have THAT experience. I also counsel many applicants to these programs. Further, someone posted above that those whom they know who were waitlisted had their statuses actually state “wait list” and so it is a fair inference to assume that a status that says “not admitted” means “denied” and not “wait list.” I could be wrong and only CMU knows for sure. No CMU official reps post on this forum, however. If you want the 100% FACT, contact the school DIRECTLY. This is just a message board and anyone may respond and give opinions and advice based on their own knowledge and experiences.</p>
<p>(on a personal note, my other kid is currently accepted to CMU for grad school for this coming fall…that is not in MT however, but it is not as if I only know about OTHER colleges…I have had one daughter apply to CMU for MT and be wait listed and one apply to CMU for grad school and be accepted and I have had numerous clients apply there as well)</p>
<p>Collegesearch26 -Soozievt knows her stuff. See how long she’s been posting on CC…We appreciate her insight. Other folks pay very dearly to college coaches to get the knowledge she shares with us on CC for free! My D got the polite “not admitted” today. Other schools where my D is waitlisted were very clear and there was no confussion. So we can assume CMU knows how to be clear as well. Such a good school. Congrats to those who made it!</p>
<p>Actually, I have been posting on CC since 2002 but CC developed a new format and when it did, they started all existing members over in Aug. of 2004, along with the post counts. :)</p>
<p>Anyone seeking FACTS needs to contact a school directly and not rely on a message board. Many of us share what we know but we are not reps of the college. No CMU reps post on the MT Forum.</p>

<p>As someone who read that piece of information, I drew a further inference that those who were wait listed had “wait list” on their status and so did not guess on personal experience alone. But my own kid was wait listed and that is what the site said, AFTER she got it in snail mail, which also said she was wait listed. They MATCHED.</p>
<p>Perhaps MTPOPS and SEN11OR can also relate what their online status says as they were wait listed too (congrats!).</p>
