Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2023 ED Thread

@AAA124555 I don’t know if it’s the same for your son or not, but when I use the Where Am I in the Process link on CMU’s website it says that the site is under maintenance. However, when I use the link from the ED Countdown email they sent I am able to login and see my portal.

@melonbread checked that also it still says the site is under maintenance…very strange

Good luck everyone!

does the text/email ahead of the 12/15 9am is any kind of clue as to if you are in or otherwise?

Text/email about what? The countdown email?

Look at post#25

Didn’t everyone receive that email? I mean I got the email too

You are correct! I missed that.

did anyone not get an email?

43 minutes guys. this is it

NERVOUS

MAINTENANCE ANYONE ELSE???

@derpyPeguin use the link in the countdown email. That’s what I used and it worked for me

Rejected lmao

If anything, it was probably the rank. At the same time though, I didn’t expect to get in.

skjdksk accepted to SCS!

It wasn’t legacy, but congrats! The website says that it does not consider legacy in admissions.
