@new2music I’m a tenor in voice program currently. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Accepted, international.
anyone waitlisted for information systems? or accepted that doesn’t want to go haha
@sighcollege – several years ago Admissions gave my daughter a t-shirt when we paid the deposit while on an accepted student visit. I don’t recall exactly what it said, but it was something that made fun of the Ivy schools.

@chemit I’m also looking for some type of groupchat…has no one started one?
S19 accepted to school of music, waitlisted MCS. (BSA) Question: He was invited to Turn Tartan and also deposit for that part of BSA. What the heck do you do? Do you get your deposit back if you ultimately are not accept to the other school MCS?
@paranoidmom101 His MCS waitlist only allows him to click on regular but it says reply by April10 for priority waitlist. Is this what you are talking about? It’s really confusing.
@dreamer2023 @catpls @vonlost @1TakeIncgognito This is on the link about waistlisting:
“Students admitted from the Priority Waiting List are required to post their enrollment deposit within a 72-hour period. Because University resources are limited, decisions regarding either of the waiting lists may not be need blind.”
@caz0743 Thanks I didn’t know that. Are you gonna do the priority waitlist?
International student waitlisted at both MCS and College of Engineering. I have chosen the priority waitlist for both but I know the chances of getting in are minimal 
Just hoping for the best
Wow, your son stat is amazing. I am shock he is waitlisted. I thought CMU is very test sores focused. I am sure your son state school is happy to have him on the campus. My son is an asian male with good test score, GPA and EC and get so many college rejections. He get accepted to his state school honors program with full merit scholarships. Good luck to your son.
Major in fine arts
@caz0743 That means binding decision I guess :neutral: Thanks for the information!
oof I got waitlisted for the design department.
I thought I was going to get flat out rejected bc of my sat hahah
SAT 1270
GPA 4.24
Does anyone know how hard it is to get off their waitlist especially for the design department?
@caz0743 my question was whether everyone on the waitlist automatically in the priority waitlist? It’s kind of confusing ?
@paranoidmom101 if you clicked on accept waitlist did your portal give you an option of priority or regular? S just has regular. But it also said reply before April 10 for priority. Which is confusing because you have to click on the circle that says regular waitlist. I imagine they will be flooded with calls this week.
For those of you who are surprised that your son did not get accepted just look at the common data set. 5000 more men applied yet 300 more women were accepted. Right or wrong the fact is that women are actively being given preference
@caz0743 we had the option to click on either one. Priority or regular.
@jackson5123 The split among students who actually enroll is about 50/50 men and women. The pool of women applicants is a smaller, but they generally self-select to be more qualified than the male pool overall. CMU gets a lower enrolled yield among women for the same reason: the pool of women vying for “tech” spots is smaller so they tend to have more options. This does not in any way mean that CMU or any other school is accepting less qualified women to fill its class.
Most schools are striving for an roughly even split because it reflects the population, makes a more livable campus environment and will ultimately yield a fairer male/female distribution in industry. When girls and young women look around someday and see more women in these fields, there will be a similar shift in the applicant pool. This trend has been going on for decades but change is slow.
