<p>could you share with us what you said in the email that convinced them to give you the info?</p>
<p>I was just like “Hello, my name is QuantumLipids and I applied to… I would like to know about the status of my application.”</p>
<p>@ nil desperandum: i was talking to ummm when i said the nj thing cuz he/she is in ny so we will get it 2gether but wow you’re in PA! I feel your frustration</p>
<p>Why they can’t just tell you at the phone?
People are waiting and most of them need to arrange something else for the summer no matter accepted or not.<br>
CMU admission office is kind of weird. The guy at info session said they don’t have regional rep., they don’t re-calculate your GPA … (a boy sit next to me was so happy, in his school, 87 is A).</p>
<p>@March10success2</p>
<p>I feel you - I have to sign up for dual enrollment summer classes this (or at latest next) week, so I really need to know if I got accepted or not. It makes it very hard to arrange things, as CMU is my top choice.</p>
<p>I got a package from CMU today - alas it was only an admissions packet. Oh, how they tease me.</p>
<p>ya @quantumlogic and march10success2
i ttly know wat u guys mean
cuz where the deadline to signup for college courses near me is literally this week so
i need to know asap to decide
cuz like quantum said this would be a priority</p>
<p>I got a large packet with my name on it. I was excited!
Then I saw that it was from Emory. I hate Emory right now. haha</p>
<p>I have a feeling they base the admission on GPAs.
QuantumLipids what was you GPA.</p>
<p>It better come tmrw. If its not home by the time i get back from my ap test i will flip out…</p>
<p>I’ve heard a lot of it has to do with essays…which is not good for me. :(</p>
<p>@5pencer me too! my essays and recommendations…are quite…-_-</p>
<p>The decision probably wasn’t based mostly on GPA/test scores. My unweighted GPA is like 3.98 or something. It’s probably based more on essays/recommendations/URM status, I think.</p>
<p>I mean my recs aren’t bad, but I’m not great at writing essays…so that could’ve messed me up.</p>
<p>i also called them and they wouldn’t tell me 
so I think we should tell each other more about ourselves, seeing as we’re stuck in this together.</p>
