@singer2 That is the case for all of us, but any program that has her will be infinitely lucky.
Pompito01 thank you.she was so excited when she got the acceptance to the College of Fine Arts of CMU.
Has anyone heard about how “generous” CMU’s financial aid is??
@hg0987 FA is only for US Citz/DACA/Perm. Res.
100% of the demonstrated need is met. I’d say its very generous on a general level.
No aid or monetary aid of any sort for intls
@singer2 my understanding is that if you were accepted to CFA you are in to CMU - end of story. The admissions people at the CFA told us that during our visit. So congrats!
wait @highnotes2018 I thought the CFA department was like a 16% acceptance rate, according to CMU stats on their website, so like why are people who applied to CFA technically accepted?
oh wait nevermind you said accepted not “applied”
how do people already know they got into CFA? @singer2
I applied to CFA for architecture, do I receive a decision from cfa and CMU?
awaiting decsions on march 30,

Highnotes2018, omg they said that!!! Omg you just made my day thank you so much for this info!!!
18butterflies my daughter got an email a couple weeks ago. Maybe architect is different. My daughter audition for voice.
@18butterflies some have heard and some haven’t. I think it depends on the program. I applied to the School of Drama Design/Production and haven’t heard even though a lot of musical theatre and acting applicants have heard. From my understanding its up to the directors of the program.
@18butterflies PPL that actually undergo auditions and such likely have gotten their results back since its a more person to person interviews as opposed to Design, Art and Architecture where u actually have to submit a portfolio online.
That’s what I think at least, I did get contacted by someone from Art, but I don’t think that is the norm for most ppl who get into the school of art/design/architecture.
I didn’t get an email from the cross country coach…
Should I be concerned?
I applied for Tepper
Are you being recruited for cross country? lol if not then you obviously should not be getting contacted by the XC coach.
For SCS and COll. of Engg. i dont think we hear from the dept.
Yeah we dont.
@Kwu333 if u are a cross country player going for recruitment, then maybe, based on wha ive heard from people who are recruits in the past, but im not sure. I think it doesnt matter, but many of the acceptee recruits have heard back from the coaches before, idk regarding what.
Sorry if I missed this already–but do admission decisions for CFA (particularly Design, Fine Arts, and Architecture) generally come out earlier?? I thought it would only for acting/voice, since those are one-on-one auditions. I’m super nervous now, I haven’t heard anything from them. Bad news, I guess 
Also, @pompito01 , if you don’t mind sharing, what they did want to get in touch with you about?
Everyone is 3/30 but those in CFA that had auditions may have already received an email from the college indicating they they want you in the program and are sending Admissions a positive recommendation. That’s the gist of it.
Im my case for BXA I received that type of email and still await 3/30 decision from admissions.
@aliceyuan0105 Like @Likebikes, im applying to foremost CFA and as my second choice i have BxA, then ECE lol, but i received a sort of email that was from a professor like (i kinda keeping the like keeping information vague, sorry)
"I am x, a professor at CMU and chair of UG admissions in the school of x. I know youre interested in BSA and I helped create a BxA program. I am thoroughly impressed by the work you put into your portfolio, i particularly liked x piece.
{information abt BxA program i applied to}
Please let me know if you’d like me to answer some questions about our BxA programs or Ideate, if you’d like to skype let me know.
[then he answered a question thing i put in one of my supplements for CMU]. "
So we skyped for abt an hour sometime after the email and spoke about BxA and I asked him something along the lines of what i should expect in regards to admissions, since he was all like, if you choose to come here and stuff so it sounded to me like “yeah youre in”, and he was like “I legally cant tell u but it looks promising”
I dont know if bc BxA is a relatively small program this is just protocol to some of the more promising applicants, but i doubt they would get my hopes up like this to just be like NAHHHH. My ACT scores are certainly not good enough for SCS and MCS.
I have only heard of like another BxA applicant, and like Likebikes (not sure if my experience and yours was different) and I received some email abt our apps.
I meant “Like @/ Likebikes im applying to BxA” but i edited it to clarify since It wasnt my first choice :), sorry if it makes it seem like Likebikes applied in the same situation as i did, that I dont know.
Im a mess lol
