<p>Does this mean acceptance, as the "CONGRATULATIONS!" sounds positive... no?</p>

<p>Or did everyone receive this email?</p>

<p>I got it, too. But I didn't receive an admissions decisions in the mail today. So I'm waiting for the 5:00 online decision.</p>

<p>I really hope it means an acceptance, otherwise it is really, really mean to send that out today. When I read that "Congratulations!" I was elated.</p>

3

<p>for the record: any email coming from the college that you are applying to 2 hours prior to notification that begins with "Dear Applicant, Congratulations" is most definitely not cool. im pretty ****ed</p>

<p>and by the way, when it says this: "Rest assured that your responses will be held strictly confidential by the principal researcher and will not in any way impact your status with CMC." i assume they mean that it means nothing</p>

4

<p>It's really, really rude.</p>

<p>Oh well--the question that must be answered is:</p>

<p>Did anyone receive this email and get rejected/waitlisted?</p>

5

<p>I did, and I was waitlisted.</p>

6

<p>Okay, they're officially jerks.</p>

7

<p>I got this email but this was months ago and other people got it too...you seem to have gotten a slightly different one ?</p>

<p>haha yeah my heart stopped for a second when i saw the congratulations</p>

<p>im with all of you on this one ... bad timing to say the least</p>

9

<p>...better question: did anyone get it who WAS accepted</p>

10

<p>This is the third time I've gotten an e-mail about that survey. I agree with the bad timing. No admissions decision yet, but at this point I'm kind of expecting a rejection/wait list.</p>

11

<p>I got it and I was wait-listed. That's kind of horrible timing. :(</p>

12

<p>I also got it and was waitlisted. But I'm not really bummed, at least I wasn't flat out rejected!!! That really stinks for those of you who are, seriously, good luck to wherever you end up!</p>

13

<p>I got it and was rejected.</p>

14

<p>Seems like I was the only one who got it and was accepted...</p>

15

<p>I got it, and I was wait-listed.</p>
