Anyone’s portal getting error? Mine isn’t functional right now.

@greeksalad123 portal is normal for me

Bummer. This is what I’m getting. Guess that means I’m rejected. lol.

@greeksalad123 are you sure you’ve entered all your info in correctly? That’s the error I always get when I input something wrong. Also, that’s not any kind of indicator of status

@greeksalad123 Or maybe it is a good thing… Meaning something actually changed on your profile that can not been displayed properly yet…

@daytonanerd @renart I definitely input the right info, and who knows what this error means. But I won’t be able to log in to find out if this error message continues at midnight. :frowning:

are we sure decisions are revealed at midnight?

I’m sorry if this has been asked before, but I’ve been following this thread for a couple weeks and don’t remember seeing a post about this. On my portal, under “Financial Aid Documents Needed,” in the chart, it lists “Attestations” as “Received” on March 24… What are attestations? And why would they have added that so close to releasing decisions? Has this been an indicator for anybody in the past? Sorry, I know I only have to wait about an hour to see the decision on the portal but I’m becoming restless.

Is anyone able to link to an official source stating that decisions are being released midnight?

Cmu tweeted that it would be tonight.

I think another factor that determines how fast you can get your mail is base on the admit day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-KdCRNb4Uk If you stop you will see each box has a date attach to it. So don’t be disappointed if you do not receive the mail near Pittsburgh area.

@jkaup99 they tweeted it like 5 times

same @charcoalatey2021 i have the attestation from the same day…auhfgdkbokjsf

@unfortunatemango @charcoalatey2021 Same… ugh

@charcoalatey2021 @unfortunatemango ayyy! me too!

Am I the only one without it received?

I think all/most financial applicants have the attestation status date as march 24th…

I’ve got the attestation too. Also a lot of folks have posted to their tweeter saying that they’ve been accepted. Trolls, or are they releasing them in waves all day?

According to CMU’s website: “ATTENTION 2017 INCOMING FRESHMEN: Please complete your attestations via the Where Am I in the Process website until July 1, 2017. After July, you may complete your attestations via the Financial Aid Portal in SIO.”
I don’t think it’s supposed to be received yet

They probably received the Fat Mail thingy
