Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2023 ED Thread


[QUOTE=""]
I don't actually think a college has ever released decisions at midnight.

[/QUOTE]

Actually, looking at CMU ED results threads for past years, it seems the announcements are routinely made at midnight Eastern Standard Time.

Oh never mind then. It would be midnight going into the 15th right? Not the 16th?

Really hoping I can get into CMU but I heard their School of Design is really difficult to get into.
Let me know what you think my chances are:
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Asian (Chinese)
GPA at a public high school: 4.73/5.0 weighted
SAT: 790 Reading and Writing, 780 Math. Essay scores idk off the top of my head but they were eh
SAT Subject tests: (I accidentally added these to my common app so I had to submit them even though they aren’t great). Literature: 690 Biology M (from freshman year): 710
AP classes: Studio art (5), Lang (5)
Current APs: AP Psychology, AP Calc BC, AP Literature, AP Music Theory

Extracurriculars: 4 years of robotics club (Currently hardware manager), took french for 3 years and scored gold and silver multiple times on the national french contest, won some art awards, did the RISD and Pratt pre-college programs

I’m interested in Communication Design, and hope to go into game design, animation, or any similar field in the future.
My portfolio isn’t bad (I think), but I don’t know if it’s good enough either. It has mostly fine arts pieces in varying mediums, some game design concept artwork, short comics, and illustrations. No sculpture or actual graphic design work :frowning:

I’d be happy to just know when it is but the rest of the week if going to be very difficult if it is midnight going into the 15th. That being said, just let them tell us tomorrow please. They posted on social media three days before the ED decisions came out last year so hopefully that happens tomorrow.

@anonymous81398 I’m seriously so jealous of all my friends who have an official date and time from their top schools… meanwhile I’m refreshing the “Past hour” google results and hoping to find something lol

I just received the text of CMU coach this evening, and he told me my acceptance letter will be mailed Thursday but the decision will be posted live on the portal this Saturday. So I guess it’s this Saturday? I hope this info would be helpful.

Same here, @mengle07! so many of my friends know exactly when they’ll know already. And thank you @Junmo that’s good to know. Hopefully we get an email or something today

Just received the email for the exact time. The school said that they will be revealing admission decisions online on Saturday, December 15 at 9:00 a.m. EST.

Look at that, there’s the email: December 15 at 9 AM

Yes just received that email…

Good luck to everyone!

Good luck to y’all! Just 3 more days until announcement =)

Is there any possibility that the letters come in before Saturday? I heard that happened in previous years. Good luck everyone!!

I think they time it such that it will only come on Saturday

I know its not coming until Saturday, but I couldn’t help myself from going to the portal, and it reads: “This application is currently unavailable due to system maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience!” Wonderful.
