Hi! I don’t know if enough people will see this, or if there already is one, but I recently submitted my ED app to CMC and wanted to start a discussion thread!
Me too! I just want to find out!
Same lol. The wait is killing me! Do we find out on December 15th?
Also, are you all submitting a video? I might still do it, but I heard if you already interviewed it’s pretty much a waste of time (and a kid from my school got in RD without interview or video last year). Good luck to everyone who applied!
Do any of you guys have your portal yet? If so, is anyone’s counselor recommendation still missing?
I got my portal yesterday and my counselor recommendation is there. But I’m sure it’s fine if it’s not there yet. I also don’t know if I’m doing a video yet, I kinda don’t want to but I guess it could help? I would rather do an interview. Good luck to everyone too!
I think I might as well do the video because the more the merrier! @jasonyang I bet it’s fine if they don’t have your counselor rec there yet. I think only the application had to be turned in by 11/1. Hopefully we can all be Stags & Athenas together!
Do you guys know how much easier it is to get in with ED compared to RD?
The ED % rate is higher, but you have to factor in the athletes they recruit during ED, so I think its about the same chances.

CMC is like 40% athletes from what I heard, so that would definitely explain why the ED rate is so much higher. Have you all interviewed yet?
yep! i interviewed last month when i visited cmc from tennessee. i think it went really well, but ya never know @blackbeatle
What are some of the main reasons you guys decided to apply ED?
When I visited, I just loved everything about CMC - the campus, the academics, and the student body. Absolutely the best fit out of any college I’ve been to. Hopefully I’m not stupid for doing ED1 at CMC instead of at UPenn xD
I agree! CMC wasn’t on my list until around labor day and then when I visited in early Oct I loved the entire vibe…I like the “learn to do” ethos of the school, the Ath is sooo cool, all of the great job opportunities within the alumni network, and the student body seems like my type of people. i decided to do ed1 cmc instead of tufts, hope it pays off!
I did it instead of tufts too!! haha I hope we all get in!
I applied and I’m an international student!! It’s so much anxiety,the wait…did any of you guys apply with financial aid? How important of a factor do you think that is in their deliberation? CMC is just so great and if I got in I wouldn’t even know how to express that aha!
hey! i remember them saying in their admissions info session that they are need-blind for u.s. students but i don’t think they are for international students

@mattydavis2018 yes I know…hopefully my application is decent enough to get me through!! Any idea the approximate notification date or do we all just have to wait up till the 15th??
I was gonna ask too. When can we find out the decision date?
Worrying about this decision is literally keeping me up at night. Anyways, I just did a few calculations and it’s bad news for us all. On CMCs website, it says that 30% of students are Varsity athletes. Now, pretty much the only way to do sports is through ED, so taking that into account would mean roughly 99/155 ED spots are taken up by athletes. Multiply the remaining spots by the stated ED admissions rate and the actual acceptance percentage (for non athletes) is… 11.8%! That’s only 4% higher than the RD acceptance rate
I know, I was thinking about that too. It’s so scary to think the chances are so slim. 
I am trying to keep my expectations rlly low but I can’t help feeling like I only want to go to cmc. good luck to you all. Where are you from?
