Carnegie Mellon Class of 2021 Applicants Discussion Thread

1 day!!!

@nbt012 I just searched for #carnegiemellon and scrolled down the page. There was a picture of a letter with a huge red FAT on it. Originally I assumed no one would get the mail before 25th since they were just sent yesterday.

Can’t believe admission decision is coming out soon… I’m not ready:’(

party at midnight! :))

13 hours…

Am I the only one looking out for the mail carrier every 20 mins :-*

Dang! Didnt arrive yesterday in Houston, so will have to wait till today. Our mailperson is super slow…most days not delivering till after 6:00pm. We observe Sabbath on Saturday evenings, so I will most likely miss whomever delivers today. With some luck, I will be home from dinner before release happens at 12:01 (11:01 my time)

Do we think the packages will come today? I just assumed they’d be delivered to everyone next week.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY WILL RELEASE AT MIDNIGHT???thanks.

@giselleodette because Carnegie Mellon always releases on the midnight that begins the day they announce for decisions.

@daytonanerd Since the email said they would release on the 26th, does that mean 12:01 which would be tonight or midnight tomorrow night?

@chel17 Midnight tonight

Accepted from San Diego through the mail!!

@MemeMaster Congrats! Would you mind saying what the package looked like?

Also, has anyone else received anything in the mail?

@MemeMaster

Congrats! Take pics of the package, please!

@wormholes It was a large white package with the word “FAT” written across it in maroon.

Congrats! Nothing in today’s mail and we are in Pittsburgh. Not looking good.

Guys, don’t jump to conclusions too much if you don’t get the FAT letter today. If you look at last year’s applicant thread, many people received their portal acceptances before getting the FAT letter.

Yeah, it’s only a few more hours until decisions are released online anyways.

Accepted to CMU via FAT letter today!
