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

wait list is down for me too. I was able to see it and accepted it. Now it said you have to wait till 3/28. Here is what CMU said, looks like everyone will have a choice to pick priority or regular.

Thanks for your interest in Carnegie Mellon. All Waiting List candidates are applicants who are academically qualified to be successful Carnegie Mellon students, but due to enrollment limitations, couldn’t be offered admission during the Regular Decision process. We’d like to offer you the opportunity to keep your name on either the Priority or Regular Waiting List and remain an active candidate for Carnegie Mellon until the admission staff can determine whether or not space will be available in the freshman class.

As a Waiting List candidate, you now have a choice. You can choose to remain on the Priority Waiting List or the Regular Waiting List, depending on which better meets your needs, by submitting the Waiting List Reply Form. You can also request to be removed from the Waiting List using the Waiting List Reply Form.

Yes I applied for FA but for equal caliber schools I did not receive aid (columbia). My student tax form was waived, and I was wait listed for EE but nothing for CS. Might have been because I wrote my essay solely on CS, but at this point who knows.

Does CMU admit by school only or by program?

what new fa documents are showing up are they the same as the three alrdy discussed before or additional new ones. mine still says not received didnt change to waived. i wasnt on the waitlist for anything idk what this means :frowning:

@befree “Here is what CMU said.” Are you quoting from the FAQ? If so, the FAQ may be out of date. Only one waitlist option seems to have been offered to some candidates, but two to others.

@Bored1997 Do you only apply to 1 college at CUM. I read somewhere that only people apply to 1 college at CMU can get priority wait list and the odd of getting in is ~50% if you are on the priority list.

No, @befree8 I applied to SCS first choice, priority WL, CIT ECE second choice priority WL, third choice is CIT Mech eng, not mentioned on WL status page.
Hahaha it won’t let me post more than once in 150 seconds because I used some unwelcome language on receiving my 4th waitlist on CC.

@Bored1997‌ Wow, looked at your stats, if you got waitlisted SCS that means I must have gotten rejected :frowning: because I have no waitlists.

SCS first choice
CIT ECE second choice
MCS Math third choice

Helloothere-did you apply for FA? I am wondering if only people who applied for FA are seeing the additionals documents or Student Tax Form waived.

No @nagintapls I am intl and I think there must be something wrong with my app otherwise I would have been accepted to GTech, perhaps my essay, there must be something ticking the adcoms off on my app, as you know I have 4 waitlists now, thinking of starting a collection. :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah i did apply for fa im in california also if that helps not intl but my student tax wasnt waived i still have the additional documents but it probably does not mean anything since everyone who doesnot have it didnt appy for fa or didnt submit it

anyone actually get acceptance package yet?

@Bored1997‌ Oh ok, haha. Don’t worry.

And you already have one over me, you got in UIUC, I was waitlisted, thinking the same thing might happen again @nagintapls :stuck_out_tongue:

@Ireadcc

That’s exactly what happened to my son’s account today.
And he’s not on the waitlist as well.

Do we get snail mail only if we are accepted or we get one when rejected or wait listed too?

@Varanasi‌ everyone gets it

^It sounds like this year everything will be online, instead of slow mail first.
I’m not on the waitlist for either of my two schools, CIT and Tepper.

@Pentakis do they waitlist by school or program?

WOW THE MAIL JUST CAME. I GOT ACCEPTED TO TEPPER AND CIT
