How is everyone able to check the waitliststatus? When I go to the link posted, I get:

"Waiting List Reply Form

To access Carnegie Mellon’s Waiting List Reply Form, you’ll need to log in with your Application ID (your Common Application ID). Please submit the Waiting List Reply Form by April 10 if you’re choosing the Priority Waiting List, or by May 1 if you’re choosing the Regular Waiting List.

Submit the Waiting List Reply Form - available on March 28.

At this time, there’s no need for you to request additional letters of recommendation—what we currently have on file is sufficient. "

@JayArRed CMU realised that people were using that to find out some of the results ahead of time and fixed the error. Now everybody has to wait until tomorrow.

404

From IL, fat package came in the mail today.

Also found out it’s called FAT package because it says FAT package on it.

405

Does not receiving anything in the mail indicate that you were rejected? I read the email notficiation about the portal update on Saturday and it says only waitlisted and admitted students are notified through postal mail.

406

so are int’l students getting the mail/packet after the release of online notifications?

407

@nightowl19 I doubt it. Not everybody was going to receive their letter today because the letter wasn’t even supposed to be there until tomorrow.

408

So at what specific time will the online decision be released on 28th???

409

I got my letter today!!! I live in Iowa! Good luck and congrats to all!!

410

To everyone who has gotten in so far, did you all have the new/extra stuff on the FA section? Cause I do but I didn’t receive a letter yet and I just got rejected from UC Berkeley so now CMU is my last hope…

411

My S received his official FAT packet today in Los angeles. He did have the 2 fa documents so I was hopeful it meant he was accepted. This comes on the heals of a rejection fron UCLA. He was waitlisted to Berkeley, oh well. Looks like he’s moving east!!!

412

Did anyone else on the West Coast receive theirs?

Adding onto that question: has anyone had the 2 FA documents and been waitlisted only?

413

Up in WA, not expecting to get anything till Saturday. Guess I’ll have to wait for the portal

414

I live in San Diego and I just got accepted today and received 2 of the exact same official FAT letters in the mail! What exactly are the FA documents everyone is talking about though?

415

@saraaa2‌ Congrats! The FA documents are Entrance Counseling and General Promissory Note. They appeared in some applicant’s Where Am I In the Process FA section.

416

So if you didn’t get a “FAT” envelope today, does that mean you were rejected?

417

@scout07 Mail takes time. Don’t worry about it until you see your decision later today. :slight_smile:

418

Thanks @Callethiel‌ I just checked my status for UMICH and was ACCEPTED! Applied EA -Aug. 30th and was deferred. Was my first choice for a very long time but lost hope the longer time went on. Can’t believe it! Good luck everyone here!

HI Scout,
My son is a first year at CMU and is loving it. I too had some reservations about him being far from home, the cost, the rigor but friends who have visited campus to see him say he is Happy. So my husband and I are happy. Good luck to your son.

I’m so scared to go home and check the mail. If nothing’s there I will be disappointed.
