Carnegie Mellon University Fall 2017 TRANSFER

I’m new and couldn’t find a transfer thread for CMU Fall 2017. I applied to SCS as a transfer for fall 2017 which I know is super competitive. Anyone know when we hear back about our decisions?

Rejected today.

sorry to hear that. What school did you apply to? And how do you know your decision was available?

Has anyone else heard back?

I still haven’t heard back yet :confused: anyone else?

I havent heard anything, on their website it says may 15 so im surprised people have already been rejected

@packman012 What college within CMU did you apply to?

@Iapplyanywhere dietrich

Nothing updated for me. I had a mini heart attack when I read that decisions might be out. I applied to Tepper.

Nothing yet. I applied to SCS… The material status list didn’t update for almost 2 months even though I’d sent everything. Ring them up and it resolved in like 12 hrs… They seem to be extremely busy somehow.

I GOT in!!

GPA: 3.53

will be enrolled as a sophomore next fall

just got in!!!

so people can prepare themselves: I did not get an email, I logged on to to the portal and there was a button to click on my acceptance letter

I was admitted to Dietrich as a history major. I am a rising sophomore from a small public school in VA.
HS GPA: 4.2 weighted, 3.6 unweighted (weakest part of application)
ACT: 33
lots and lot of extra curriculars in hs that i listed

College GPA: 3.98 (all A’s one A- in a freshman seminar class due to missing too many classes because I am an athlete)
Mid-Term GPA: 4.0
College extracurricular: division 1 athlete, honors college
I believe the reason I got in was because my essays were very strong because I have a unique reason for transferring. as a recruited athlete, I chose my college as a sophomore, so I was able to talk about how ive matured since making that decision and how specific events have made me realize what I want out of my college/life. I was also very specific about how CMU would help me reach my goals

mines still not up :(. Was your admission decision under “Admission and Financial Aid Notification”?

@armadaswim yes, theres a red line that says “admission and financial aid notification” and then under that there appeared two buttons that hadnt been there previously. one said “admission decision letter” and one “financial aid notification.” I haven’t received an email or anything so make sure you just keep checking your portal!

ok, guess I’ll keep checking my portal haha. My anxiety is at an all time high now. Congrats on getting in! Will you be going there? @packman012

@armadasw not sure! i was admitted in to NYU this morning, but they don’t guarantee transfer housing, so I need to look in to cost and see if I can even afford an apartment in the city. hopkins is my number 1 choice, but I don’t hear from them till may 8 so i wont really be able to make a decision until then

OK! Best of luck! It keeps saying “Error getting data” when I try to log into the portal. Perhaps it’s because there are too many people on the portal or they are putting decisions up as we speak?

@Monekyboy961 What school did you apply to?

Rejected. Love this process! :smiley:

fml why is my decision still not out yet
