Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2024 Regular Decision

Is it possible that letters will come tomorrow or should I just assume I am not getting in?

@kmmord what state/region are you from?

My DD just got her letter for the Tepper School of Business. She didnā€™t think she was going to get in, so now she has some decisions to make.

My DDā€™s letter did not show up on the informed delivery notice this morning.

We are in Chicago suburbs.

Anyone from D.C., Maryland or Virginia received the package?

yeah I saw someone on reddit in the area @LandDoppp

iā€™m from ashburn, virginia and got my package!

From Texas - and nothing yet.
My DS did get in to Wake Forest this weekend, so that was awesome! So if CMU doesnā€™t come through, we have some great options. Waiting to see!

Received acceptance letter today.
College of Engineering
San Diego, CA

Has anyone who has not received a letter tried to use Informed Delivery to see if it is on the way? I made an account to check, but the site is down for me.

Son just received his acceptance package in the mail! Weā€™re in CA and he applied to the Mellon College of Science as a Mathematics major. No financial aid updates in the portal yet so Iā€™m hoping weā€™ll hear about any scholarship/aid money within the next week.

I checked the mail and I got nothing. Am I pretty much screwed?

@johnsmith900 Acceptance packet in CA mail. College of Engineering. Showed up on USPS informed delivery only as ā€œpiece of mail for which we donā€™t have imageā€. @CarBarlos Letter dated March 28th, so if it didnā€™t arrive today, maybe donā€™t give up hope!

post #42 said acceptances are coming out in wavesā€¦ can anyone confirm/deny this?

For those of you who received the acceptance package, congratulations!!! In your ā€œWhere am I in the processā€ portal, under ā€œadmission document sentā€ section, does it say admission package is sent recently?

@mmomm5757 did you just check Informed Delivery? The website has been down for hours for me.

there are no new documents in my ā€œdocuments sentā€ list but i received a packet. hope this helps!

@Johnsmith900 I just looked at the email I had received earlier today that listed whatā€™s coming. Could be the whole thing is down because it only said ā€œā€¦no imageā€ and i had a number of items in the mail.

For anyone receiving an acceptance letter, did any of you apply to the college of fine arts? And congrats to all those accepted so far!
