<p>I’m going to have a CMU interview and there’s an optional supplement about the interview on CA. Should I write this/how long should it be/does it have to be polished like the other supplements or can it be more casual writing? </p>
<p>Can we please have two different threads, one for discussion and the other for results. It becomes pointless to post results when people have to swim there a bunch of unrelated text(I honestly say this should be the results thread due to lack of post, also apologies for nercoing this). </p>
@brooklynilene Carnegie Mellon doesn’t seem to follow that path. From historical experience, decisions usually come out on March 23rd, the second-to-last Monday in March.
MIT is doing pi day at tau time this year and every year. Unfortunately the tau time is p.m.: 6:28.
CMU had a record number of applicants this year: over 20,000. It will take them time to read through them all.
What do you all think about making Carnegie my first choice for national merit. I was named a finalist so do you think CMU would like it if I made them my first choice?
@nandroida I wouldn’t designate CMU as your first choice since CMU doesn’t offer any type of award to NMF. I would use the opportunity to choose another school that offers a financial incentive. Hopefully you have demonstrated interest in CMU in other ways.
So on my “Where Am I in the Process” page, it says that CMU had not yet received my student tax return but it was submitted to IDOC about a month ago because I had a Student Non-Tax Filer Statement and they have all of my other IDOC documents, so should I just ignore it?
@khaleesi79 We have the same problem. I wrote to CMU and they noted that at least for admission’s sake the lack of tax documents is a non-issue. They noted they are “needs-blind” for admissions. We submitted tax forms via IDOC the first half of February and most are still not processed and I have no reply from College Board. MIT was a bit more alarming in that they specifically state they can not process your application without this data. But MIT also said not to worry about it. They were aware of the issue and will process the application. I do wonder if this will delay getting out admissions notices as I think schools like to send the acceptances along with financial aid package. And I’m not sure how they could send a package without tax documents. Perhaps they could just go with the CSS/FAFSA self-reported data??
@scholarme Pawing through last year’s CC - it looked like fat (or skinny) snail mail envelopes arrived around March 26th. {{Past performance may not predict future results.}}
I wonder how you can verify that your acceptance letter - be it electronic or snail mail - is officially
absolutely valid. Call the admissions office and ask “is it true?”
@patertrium I don’t know about CMU specifically, but if like most schools, physical letter and online portal is your official decision. You should probably not rely on the email messages they send considering all of the schools recently that sent out acceptance emails to the wrong students.
