Class of 2018 Carnegie Mellon RD Discussion

<p>My son received a fat letter for computer science today!!! We are in NC and had almost given up hope after some other rejections from big computer schools that we felt he was perfect for and I read on the CMU Twitter account that the acceptance rate for comp science was 6 percent!!! We are waiting on Cornell now … </p>

<p>@viphan I am in Central NJ.</p>

<p>@carolinacatz – congrats!! waiting on both CM and Cornell - gonna be a LONNGG week this week :-/ </p>

<p>Nothing here in northern NJ.</p>

<p>Nothing in Texas. Anyone from Texas receive anything today?</p>

<p>Nothing here in Southwest Florida, of course I live in the ONE region of Florida where shipping takes 3 days compared to literally every other region in Florida where it’s two days, even regions south of where I am received decisions in the mail today…</p>

<p>I live in texas but mail doesn’t arrive until 5pm</p>

<p>Is it safe to assume that if we <em>don’t</em> get any mail within 3 days, we got rejected?</p>

<p>Since the acceptance “pakcets” were sent using priority mail?</p>

<p>Fat envelope received in Chicago!</p>

<p>@Matthew5 I’m also from SW FL, and I just received my envelope 30 minutes ago. :slight_smile: You should be getting yours soon too!</p>

<p>@davelee1054 Statistically speaking, probably, but I’m a big believer in never giving up hope. There are tons of technical issues or just plain bad luck with mail. </p>

<p>Waitlisted here in Pittsburgh, which I’m not too bummed about considering I can pick from priority or regular waitlist. </p>

<p>Fat envelope received in SoCal !!!</p>

<p>Fat envelope in DC suburbs (MD). Got into CIT, waitlisted at SCS. Happy, considering that I was waiting for rejections from both :D</p>

<p>is it coming earlier than the mail usually arrives for you guys?? cuz i haven’t gotten anything but mail usually comes at around 2 here</p>

<p>In your Admission Documents Sent in the Where am I process page, for accepted students did it say anything was sent? My latest item was the admissions postcard. </p>

<p>I asked CMU admissions on Twitter, all letters were sent via regular mail; they should arrive 2-4 days from Monday. </p>

<p>I just called Admissions. I was told that all decisions (accept, reject, wait list) were sent First Class mail and not Priority so there is no guarantee at all from USPS. Timing of delivery can even be affected by what time of day your carrier leaves your post office.</p>

<p>So I go to pick up my mails and I see this large white envelope. Needless to say, my heart sank a little bit (a lot actually). When I went to pick it up, it was an acceptance packet from one of my safeties, where I definitely won’t go…</p>

<p>In philadelphia and mail delivered by 10am - nothing today. fingers crossed for tomorrow.</p>
