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

so, cmu sends out both emails and snail mails, right? does anyone have any idea when the decision result will be released? :slight_smile:

@ihihihi‌ not sure about emails. Last year people started posting around March 25 which lines up with what CMU said in the confirmation email about late March.

Last year’s URL where reports of fat or thin envelopes start coming in

In 2013 when my D was applying, It was March 25, a Monday when my daughter got her fat letter. It was such a huge packet that it didn’t fit into our mailbox and was left in between the door. We got her FA in that packet, although it was later adjusted because we are business owners and our taxes weren’t filed by CMUs deadline. Once I sent in the tax return, we got a new notification (in our favor btw) the next week. Having said that, I also appealed the final decision and was successful in getting quite a bit more money out of them. If CMU wants you badly enough, they will increase you FA. They have money set aside for such a thing.

How is it sent out to foreign address?? Snail mail would take about 3 weeks sometimes.

@cheemu‌ all letters are sent through snail mail. You will be able to view your decision online 3 days after the letters are mailed.

any update on when they will be releasing their decisions?

Does everyone have “Admission and Financial Aid Notification” in Where Am I In the Process? Sigh always looking for clues haha. :stuckouttonguewinkingeye:

@megarr I have read decisions will be mailed March 24 and released online either the 27th or 28th.

In the address section, the last two letters of my address have been cut off. Does anyone else have their address cut off? At first I thought it was just an error and that they’d still send it to the full address I’d entered in the common app but now I’m not so sure. I really want a hard copy ):

Edit: I emailed them about it 5 days ago but no change yet

@awesomekid‌ I do! Hopefully it’s a good sign

On the Admission Documents Sent section on the where am I now page, will it show whether the decision letters were sent out? Will they mail them all at once or in batches?

About the email regarding the “Carnegie Mellon Decision Letter Delivery‏”, they mentioned that the date for release of decision is March 28. Does anyone know what time it gets out?

@scarlett7‌ Omg I never even got that email. Why does this keep happening ):

@awesomekid I think this email is only for international applicants!!

No @scarlett7 They just said our decisions would be available on march 28th, that means people in the US should get letters starting march 25th.

@Yaydinosaur‌ and @awesomekid‌

I believe everyone has that if they applied for financial aid. I remember that used to ask you to attest that your information was accurate. Don’t read into it too much. We have just ~10 days left.

According to the person I spoke with in admissions: Letters are mailed on the 25th. Decisions are available online on the 28th.

I think everyone has it


This waiting is really getting to me
