Carnegie Mellon Class of 2021 Applicants Discussion Thread

So 25th? What time that day would you reckon?

I was going through the CMU website and under Waitlist section, it says that the Waitlist Reply Form goes live on the 26th.

Yea it was like that last year too, according to the 2020 thread I believe

@InfiniteLibrary at midnight
@riceycakes thank you for posting this info. to Carnegie hopefuls!
@reformedman why would the sibling need to be concerned?
@derpro thank u for calling Admissions to Confirm this very Important Info to those who applied! :slight_smile:

@2sunny So would it begin the midnight of 24th or the midnight of 25th (which technically means the next day -26th)?

@InfiniteLibrary midnight 25th. Will be looking at results, as well! Good Luck! Oh, and we know someone who graduates from CM soon, and he got wonderful aid from CM ! I wish that all of you get the generous grants, as well ! :slight_smile:

@2sunny Thank you!

Good luck!

The website is up - i was able to login by clicking on where i am in the process - but the results are not you announced

did you all apply to 2 or 3 colleges within CM? they will give you an answer to each one! & we all know comp science only accepts 6% >> those students rock who get in ! :-*

@reformedman it should be fine…many people are calling and emailing admissions office about it.

@ InfiniteLibrary I think its midnight between 24th and 25th… pretty similar to the ED kids where they got their notifications at midnight

@riceycakes Aaah okay - thank you

If they mail out decisions tomorrow when should we get them in our mailboxes? Around Friday ish?

My portal now shows only one document status date changed to march 21st and another march 20th, so it looks like they are being looked at separately now. Probably doesn’t mean anything but I like to try and connect dots that are not meant to be connected :))

Some words of advice – until we officially hear from CMU Admissions about the release date, please understand that all of these dates being thrown around are simply speculation. There was someone on the Wash U thread who had a friend who had a mother who worked in Wash U. Admissions and said decisions were absolutely coming out on a specific Friday. Well, they didn’t come out on that Friday…they came out 5 days later. Students on the Wash U. thread were angry, frustrated, etc. So, yes, it would be nice if decisions were mailed tomorrow, but I have yet to see anything in writing from CMU about the official dates for the mailing as well as for when decisions will be posted via the portal. We will all know soon enough. Good luck to all of you – CMU is an amazing school!

@math3matical

Financial aid documents?

Uh oh…looks like I fell for a fake tweet. LOL.

Yes @ByteZz

Yeah, the official Carnegie Mellon twitter just tweeted that decisions will be posted at 12:01 AM Sunday.

Sunday, March 26th it is! I got the confirmation email for the release date. Financial aid decisions start rolling out the 27th.
