@predent Ohhhh I see i see. thanks a lot! it gave me a mini heart attack for a sec
To what schools/major did you guys apply to?
College of Science
School of Computer Science
Dietrich for Economics.
If the “Entrance Counseling - Undergraduate” and the “Master Promissory Note - Direct” appear on your portal that is a good sign IMO as these documents are only required for accepted students to complete their financial aid package. This is from the CMU brochure:
Federal Direct Entrance Loan Counseling
Federal regulations require that all first-time federal student loan borrowers
complete an entrance counseling session prior to their Federal Student
Loan funds being credited to their student accounts. During the entrance
counseling session, you will be informed of your rights and responsibilities as a
borrower.
Carnegie Mellon will not process your Federal Direct Student Loan until
you complete the entrance counseling session. Please complete the Federal
Direct Entrance Loan Counseling session at www.studentloans.gov.
For those that applied for aid, did you have a student tax return? I didn’t work this past year so I don’t have one so it shows “not received” on the portal. I filled out the student non-taxer filer statement and all my other documents were received. Could my tax return that doesn’t exist be holding up the financial aid processing? Yikes…now I’m getting nervous.
@PierreB Mine’s like that too. (I don’t work, so I don’t have a tax return to send them). I asked CMU about this and they said not to worry.
Quote from March 3, 2015 email with Meg Ryan:
“We will review the non-tax filer statement that has been submitted sometime over the next few weeks and we will eventually waive the request for the student W-2 and taxes but it is a manual process so it will take time.”
Applied for Computer Science, but slim chance of getting based on my stats. Maybe if they like my essays
Thanks @psithurisma. I guess we’ll find out at the end of the week the end result. Good Luck!
Hii everyone, does anyone know when decisions are available?? I applied to CFA, anyone else do the same?
@chickennuggets I did. I applied School of Art. They are supposedly mailing decision this Wednesday, March 25. They will be available online the 28.
@pierreb ohh ok thank you!! im so nervous haha, i did design
Anyone else apply to CIT?
@rivn2l8 does such apply only to those who applied to financial aid? (i could not apply to financial aid since i’m an international applicant)
Am I the only one who applied to Information System here? Haha…I know it’s listed under Dietrich, but on CommonApp it’s listed as a separate school…
Kiddo is SCS or bust.
@orangemaple I also applied to IS!
@612skies Yayyyyyy! IS buddies! Is it your first choice?
I applied to Tepper for finance. I ultimately would love to get into the computational finance program so I also applied to MCS in case I didnt get in Tepper and could get in that way.
