Applicants to CMU summer programs last year: did you get a fee waiver?

Applying to College

<p>I was wondering if every current senior who applied to the CMU summer programs for diversity last year got fee waivers this year?</p>

<p>I applied to SAMS, was rejected outright, and today I just got a fee waiver to CMU saying I might have what it takes to be "a successful freshman applicant".</p>

<p>Haha I wasn't really sure of whether or not I was going to apply to CMU, but I guess now I will since it's free. I'm just annoyed at being rejected (even though I realize admission to their free summer programs is probably more competitive than the actual school). I really wanted that EA deal.</p>

<p>So I was wondering if they look through their rejected applicants and pick a few or if everyone who applied gets a fee waiver. anyone else get one?</p>

<p>got one here yesterday. i might go ahead and apply, if I didn't get into MIT, caltech, or U of Chicago Early Action.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted, but I asked them to take me off because I was hired by a professor to do research in Boston for the summer.</p>
