<p>I must be the first rejection here
CFA Transfer.</p>

<p>fyi, my decision was a part of the second batch. the rumor was true in my case..</p>

203

<p>I haven't recieved my letter yet and I'm getting really nervous... is the rumor really true? Are rejections sent AFTER acceptances? If it is...CMU needs to change that FAST!</p>

204

<p>I was accepted to the CFA today.</p>

<ol>
<li>Just because you get your letter later does not NECESSARILY mean you were rejected. The odds are against you though than if you had gotten it earlier. </li>
<li>Why should CMU change that? They have the right to send letters whenever they want.</li>
</ol>

<p>ssacie, did you get your decision today</p>

214

<p>i still haven't gotten my decision from CMU... i hope thats not bad...</p>

215

<p>My Prediction </p>

<pre><code>The Rejection letters will start to arrive either tonight or tomorrow
It is becoming REALLY obvious that my letter is a rejection
</code></pre>

<p>Supposedly they sent my letter 3~4 days ago and it is still not up in the online decision.</p>

216

<p>You cannot recieve your decision online until 4 days after they've mailed it...don't worry...you may be accepted.</p>

217

<p>Just called, my letter was sent out on March 28th! Is that good or bad?</p>

218

<p>when do they update it for online ??
exactly 4 days (96 hours) after it left the office ??
or the midnight of the 4th day??
or just random any time 4 days after?</p>

219

<p>I think its automatic update at midnight eastern time</p>

220

<p>I got rejected by Stanford, so Im heading to Carnegie for sure. Now its just the visa interview left. :) Im sorta relieved really.</p>
