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

Nope. NO FAT letter was received. We actually freaked out and went back online a couple of weeks ago just to view
the acceptance letter to make sure! Deposit was also paid on the day of acceptance. (I worried about the FAT letter as well.) It is my understanding the FAT includes information that is not given out until now. Although, I never did call admissions about it. I just asssumed we would get it in March. I just want a photo of him holding the FAT letter! So, if any of you know of an person that was accepted ED and they DID receive a FAT letter in December, then I need to call CMU ASAP!!!

@alizarin‌ Everyone I know of who got accepted EA did not receive a FAT letter so I think it is standard

@Axelarate‌ Go to bed, perform at your concert, and then check the portal. They’ve made you wait 3 days, it’s only fair you make them wait a bit too, right? :wink:

@scholarme‌

That’s not how it works! That’s not how any of this works!

guysguys on my portal reads follow up letter and viewbook postcard under admission documents sent. I dont see any record of decision letter being sent… is this just me? and how did u guys receive the fa letter??

im in canada and haven’t got any letter yet… guess im rejected af

wow… everybody just ignores… ouch

we haven’t received anything at all, mh0330. still waiting…

Haha I’m sure everyone’s just preoccupied atm. And no, under Admission Documents sent I’m pretty sure they don’t include the decision letters.

Speaking of portals, does anyone have “Entrance Counseling” and two loan things under “Financial Documents needed”? I’m wondering if I forgot to turn in some finaid material…

Those were what i meant by the extra fa docs that have been apparently associated with acceptance. Does everybody have them?

my tax forms werent signed i dont think. and the chart with all my financial documents says eveything is fulfilled, but if i click on “financial aid notification” on the top (it’s a white button), it says i still have some requirements missing? so could that be why i dont have those 3 documents that everything is talking about??? AHHHH

@Krishnak97‌ Some people have them and some people don’t.

@chickennuggets‌ I have the extra FA things and the same thing appears when I click on the FinAid Notification button.

Because I am like low key freaking out, has anyone been rejected who had the extra FA stuff?

@orangemaple my suspicions about my rejection is coming true :((((((

so does the portal fa change mean anything?

@chickennuggets‌ Don’t be! People have been accepted on here without the extra FA documents. Good luck to both of us :slight_smile:

how much do you want to bet that the site wont work at midnight?

@orangemaple yeah i saw that but i dont have a good feeling either way :// but good luck!!!

@byebyebirdy CMU is famous for CS… so… if their website is down… lol
