*** Carnegie Mellon Class of 2019 RD Discussion and Results Thread***

Got wait listed to SCS. Does CMU wait list a lot of people to SCS? Wait list pretty much means rejection right?

Not waitlisted. zz the wait continues. @-)

@MrWiggles – SCS is very competitive. With a starting salary of $110K for last year’s grads, you can see why. In their information session, the professor states that while walking on water isn’t enough . . . unless you can glide on water. I’m sure he was half joking, but there’s some truth to his statement. The kids my son stayed with were both SCS freshman, parents both earned less than $60K, with truly impressive stats. And each kid was paying over $20K/yr. They spent the evening hacking into computers, playing Caton, and discussing philosophy. The SCS program and Business professor’s won my son’s heart.

Now we wait for the thin or thick envelope.

Nothing in Pittsburgh…like 20 minutes away from the campus

@rivn218 Was your mail already delivered today?

Yes it was

So, if I follow the link, it shows “wait listed” . However, if I log into “where am i in the process” it shows nothing??
Is that what the rest of you are seeing? We live in Pittsburgh, so maybe it will be in the mail today.

not on the waitlist…so nervous!!!

@gavenb‌ if you see that you’ve been wait listed via the link, it is accurate even though there will be nothing on where am I in the process until Saturday.

I just checked “where am I in the process” of my son’s account. His “Student Tax Form” was updated from “NOT
RECEIVED” into “WAIVED” on Mar 26. This should be a positive sign. He is not on the waitlisted.

Btw is anyone else having uploads in their Financial Aid section of their admissions page? I don’t have any new forms added like the others, but for the forms that previously said were not recieved were all of a sudden updated today.

for those accepted or wait listed, can you tell us if the extra documents in financial aid correlate to the outcome? Thanks!

@AranJay, It sounds like it might be a general updated for the Financial Aid Section on the admission page. My son’s account does have new forms added.

we are wait listed and do not show any extra docs in the financial aid section

No wait lists for two schools I applied to (SCS & CIT ECE). The FA Student Tax-Return portion changed to waived.

Got waited listed on my 2nd choice (information science). My first choice is HSS. Is there chance I could get acceptd by my first choice in HSS (cognitive science)?

For some reason the three extra rows of my financial aid section disappeared just now??

what is the difference between regular and priority wait list? Is this determined by the school? It said priority list is for people that sure to enroll if get picked.

First choice is IS, second is SCS. No wait list. Hoping for the best…

waitlisted for SCS CS & CIT ECE. oh well, at least i know the results now.
