225

<p>Congrats Monkeegirl. Where will you be going?</p>

226

<p>I don't know.......two best bets are RPI and Georgia Tech</p>

<p>RPI gave lots of money but personally I prefer Georgia Tech since they seem much more interested in me. But at the end, it all depends on the $$. I planned to transfer to Rice or Cornell if I ended up at my safeties.</p>

<p>did you find out online or via mail?</p>

228

<p>my decisions online are still blank. my decision came by mail. I was v. surprised to have gotten rejected from IS.</p>

[/ul]</p>

232

<p>Internal transfers work by you applying as early as freshman year of spring semester. You need a minimum of 2.0 GPA and if there is space you will most likely get in (unless it is something like SCS where you have to do well like get an A in 211).</p>

233

<p>does cmu ask for final report grades for the 2nd half of the senior year?</p>

234

<p>Yes. I think all schools require a FINAL transcript for senior year. At the least you have to prove you graduated and got your HS diploma.</p>

235

<p>can anyone verify this?? and if its true, wat grades would be sufficient enough for cmu to remove a admitted student?</p>

236

<p>Of course its true. I can bet my life on it. </p>

<p>I don't understand your question but if your FINAL transcript has a lot of C's, D's, or F's, Carnegie Mellon reserves the right to rescind your admission.</p>

238

<p>Hey, its been 14 days since my decision notification was supposed to have been sent, but I still haven't recieved it. They did send me a CD and some other stuff once, so there shouldn't be any mailing address problem. Should I be worried? Does it usually take this long? Ive been accepted and I want to reply with the housing assignment and stuff as soon as possible.</p>

239

<p>^ There might be a problem if they say they've sent it and you haven't received it yet.</p>

240

<p>I wrote to them. What happens if I don't recieve my notification by May 1st? Is my acceptance withdrawn?</p>
