i applied to mellon college of science for biological sciences!
Does Carnegie Mellon give separate decisions for your first and second choice college/major?
^Yes they do
@ihihihi Yes, it would only be a requirement if you applied for financial aid and loans were part of the package CMU was offering. FYI - I currently have a student there, as well as an anxious applicant this year. Good Luck!!
Hi y’all,
So on the “Where Am I In the Process” website for CMU, I am listed as not having my parents’ tax returns sent. It’s been at this status for about a month now. However, when we called the office (a month ago), they noted that they had all of our necessary financial aid materials.
Thoughts? Am I in a chill position, or should I follow up again with the FA office?
Many thanks!
“Entrance Counseling - Undergraduate” and “Master Promissory Note - Direct Loan” appeared on my account 3 days ago. Does this mean something? There were a couple discussion earlier but not sure what this mean. If this is required for applicants that did not borrow last year, that does not make sense. Most freshman applicant shouldn’t have borrowed before. I hope this is a good sign. Anxious:)
@rivn2l8 so they’re not supposed to appear on any of international students’ portal, right??
I think that make sense. Intl student will not get financial aids as explained on CMU’s website.
@befree8 People will disagree but I do believe this is a good sign.
Decisions are coming out Saturday, March 28th. Email was sent out.
Specific time? Or midnight?
For those of you with “Entrance Counseling - Undergraduate” and “Master Promissory Note - Direct Loan”, were all of your documents received? I don’t have a student tax return so I filled out the non-tax filer statement but it still shows my tax return as not received. I don’t know now if because the tax return was not received is why I didn’t get these updated entries or I’m rejected…These are going to be a long next few days.
@Hawkace I didn’t get that email…
No specific time listed. Just March 28th. I got the email an hour and a half ago. It’s automated so I’m sure that you guys will get the email soon
But still being snail-mailed on Wednesday, right?
Is that date for sending snail mail or email?
Direct quote from email:
"Thanks for giving us the opportunity to consider you for admission to Carnegie Mellon for Fall 2015. We’ll be revealing admission decisions online on Saturday, March 28th. All applicants will be able to view their decision letter on Where Am I in the Process on this date.
All admitted and waitlisted students will also receive important supporting documents and information regarding their admission decision by postal mail. "
@befree8
Are all of your financial aid documents marked as received in the portal?
If “Entrance Counseling - Undergraduate” and “Master Promissory Note - Direct Loan” appeared in the portal, does it really mean acceptance?
After reading the messages on this thread, it seemed like most of the domestic applicants who applied to financial aid got these in their portals. It probably doesn’t mean anything.
