Let’s all relax and talk about other things. XD What schools have you guys applied to? I applied @ TSB for BA.
Haha that’s not really talking about other things but I applied to CIT undecided. I couldnt choose between environmenal & civil and chemical engineering. What other decisions had everyone gotten so far?
I was told today by CMU admissions that letters go out on the 25th and online notifications will be available on the 28th.
I’m more nervous about the financial aid package than the acceptance. DS1 applied to SCS and he’s in the ball park at least. But full boat would be quite a hit. He’s accepted to good UC’s for CS and GA Tech CS. So he’ll have a good four years in any event. But this would be a hard one to walk away from for cost.
Hi! Applied to CIT with EE first choice, MechE second. If I don’t get accepted to EE I probably won’t go (but it depends on how competitive it is to transfer into EE). Good luck everyone!
I got into Georgia Tech for engineering too. I also got into Washington University in St Louis and even though I’d love to go there my parents will probably want me to go to Georgia Tech because its more feasible + well-known. Guess they’ll be having “the talk” with me soon after I get all my decisions.
@Enthouse Ha - yes “the talk”. Just as applicants down themselves for not achieving more, parents can feel bad about the same. $260,000 is a lot of bananas. I should have been a banker.
Does anyone know if financial aid information comes with admission offer? I seem to recall FA info may not come until well into April.
How long does a priority mail envelope take to get from Pittsburgh to New York City?
@brooklynilene Check this USPS website: https://www.usps.com/priority-mail/map/ Type 15213 as a zip code
My 2 cents about financial aid-- my family is dirt poor (income less than 40k/yr) and if I can’t get a full ride/ full ride with work study, I’m basically screwed and my parent’s aren’t going to do anything XD. Or I’ll just have to go to a cheap community college and play the transfer game D: I hope CMU is generous enough to accept me in the first place. They probably know I’m dirt poor from my fin aid documents.
Does anyone have “Entrance Counseling - Undergraduate” and “Master Promissory Note - Direct Loan” in their financial aid documents needed?
I just checked my applicant status and they were there as not received!!! I have no idea what they are. Is there still time to submit it and get a financial aid package with my decision? Sorry I am just completely confused, they said my financial aid was complete last week, but now I have two new things last minute!
Any help would be appreciated
@nandroida we have it too. I believe it’s all part of the process.
When do results come out?
@TodaysEinstein I read they send the envelops snail mail on the 25th and results should be available online the 28th. Anyone in Pittsburgh there that might be able to intercept our packet??
@nandroida @KunjiBoy I didn’t get anything like that Probably didnt get accepted then…
@nandroida @KunjiBoy @iuaena I didn’t apply for financial aid, but I only have other things aside from that… noooo
@awesomekid If you didnt apply for financial aid, ur not supposed to get the Master Promissory Note! so you’re good!
but i applied for financial aid and the Master Promissory Note didnt pop up on my financial aid list, so im just waiting for the skinny envelope
cmu recieved all my financial aid documents except for fafsa??? should i call them??

The second question. I don’t think that master promissory note or entrance counseling has much to do with anything except for if your parents haven’t taken out any loans in the year.
