@Viphan What exactly is Priority Wait List. I thought I read like 6 out of 5000 people offered wait list were eventually enrolled to CMU. Would the 6 be part of Priority Wait List - or is that something else?

@viphan so you transferred from another school into CMU for your sophmore year? thanks for answering …
at this point, given their track record, even if my portal says accepted I won’t believe it.
@gavenb
I applied to CMU, got p-waitlisted, took a gap-year, and reapplied to be accepted yesterday.
@patertrium
I don’t know the statistics from/of the waitlist(s), but priority waitlists are considered first if there are any vacancies in the freshmen class.
I hope the results on the portal come out at 12am, since that’s how it went during ED process.
I got deferred 
hopefully I’ll receive acceptance this time 
Thanks @viphan and congrats!!! two last questions if you don’t mind … what major and what did you do during your gap year?
@scholarme Wait I thought that some people got rejection letters already though and posted on this thread.
I applied SCS and CIT ECE and I interned and worked for the most of my gap-year.
No mail in Washington…guess I have to wait for the portal
good luck @viphan!
Just got rejected from Stanford CMU is my last hope for a dream school admit as I dont expect much good news from the ivies on Tuesday
Lets be anxious together guys
Rejected from Duke, Berkeley, Rice, and Stanford in the past two days… having no hopes for CMU nor Ivies haha but even if i do get in…
Same. Rejected from UCB, Rice, UCLA, and Stanford in the last week (and waitlisted at UMich). Preparing to get rejected from Tufts and the Ivies next week as well. Georgia Tech is looking like a more and more likely destination by the second.
I applied to mostly safeties this year after taking a year off. Got rejected from Northwestern a few days ago and I’m a bit down. CMU is the only other slightly-possible dream school on my list. Hope I get in or else its Georgia Tech for me too. I’m grateful to have Georgia Tech as an option but, you know, its CMU. ):
Waitlisted at WUSTL, Northwestern, and Rice. At least I know I’m not getting waitlisted at CMU (checked it while that site was up). For once I’ll get a straightforward answer from a reach school! Good luck everyone!!
@Enthouse I’m in a very similar boat. I have NYU and UCSD as my current top choices, but CMU is indeed the only “at least a slightly possible” school left for me. Hope we get in!
@patertrium
I would do some research before posting some info here on CC. Last year, 73 people enrolled off of the wait list.

@Hawkface I posted my reference from Niche.com. It could be that that data was from an earlier year or else it’s just bad data period. Thanks for posting more hopeful numbers directly from CMU.
@patertrium
No problem. If you want information on a college’s admissions statistics, look up that college’s common data set and it’ll give you everything.
has anyone from the bay area gotten accepted? the mail already came and I haven’t gotten anything from cmu
