When were the early decision notifications uploaded last year ? It says BY december 15th so I was wondering if there i s any chance they will be uploaded before that ? And is it true that chances of acceptance are higher if one applied ED ( I applied ED) ? Also, does it reflect badly if i took the SAT thrice ( 2050 on old SAT, new SAT 1420 and 1560).
Last year was Saturday, December 12th at Midnight (so 0:00 on Sunday the 13th). They will also notify you a few days in advance, or you can ask the office of admission here: https://twitter.com/CM_Admission. No guarantee they answer though.
Also, I took the Old SAT 3 times. 1820, 1980, 2060 (Superscore: 2090) and got accepted MCS, waitlisted CIT and SCS. You seem to have done better each time, which is what they wanna see. Your growth as a student. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Thank you @Homsar Really appreciate the inputs 
…Really keen on CMU SCS…i don’t think i shall be able to sleep peacefully until that notification comes
Same here, @ad93107, I constantly check the “Where am I in the Process page” hoping to see an update
@Homsar I have similar growth/scores, and I’m applying to MCS RD Biology Major! Would you mind sharing ECs, rigor, etc., etc.? I know CMU is a reach for me, but I’m hoping for the best!
@PAwind98 No problem!
Accepted MCS (Chemistry but currently majoring in physics), waitlisted CIT (ECE) and SCS (CS)
SAT (turns out I botched those numbers above haha): 1920, 1880, 1970 (superscore 2090), 610 CR 800 M 680 W 11 essay

GPA: 4.36/5 (4.6 after freshman year), ~3.8 unweighted overall

If they want you, they will find you. Best of luck!

^will they like auto reject/defer me because none of my finaid stuff are in or is it just tht i wont get a finacial aid estimate with my letter. i tried calling but the lady on the phone kept saying dwai we working on apps still.
can other ppl post their portal statuses too^
@wannabetartan I didn’t get the “Folder Pulled committee read” either. As for financial aid, you should call the admissions office. When I called to ask about the deadline for ED applicants, they said that December 1st was the deadline for financial documents. However, if you submitted the documents on IDOC before Dec. 1st and they haven’t been processed yet you should be fine because it was submitted before the deadline and IDOC is just overwhelmed with paperwork.
There must have been a mistake somewhere in my admissions documents received because I didn’t take a SAT test that sent scores out in December.

@IMTQzora, on another thread @jlin2017 said something about their father calling the admissions office. I have gotten no change in anything, however my SAT subject test scores were late ( I took them in November) and they emailed me several times (3-4) after applying, so I am not sure how to take this.
I also heard from several sources that they update things at midnight, so no use checking throughout the day. This is my dream school, but I am bracing myself for rejecting.
same im getting ready but im so worried abt my finaid messing up my decision and the fact tht my folder still didnt get pulled. rip, did anybody get their folder pulled so far this yr?
