CMU priority Waitlist class of 2016 Email

<p>This whole waitlist process is so cruel on applicants.</p>

<p>If my qualifications weren’t good enough for CMU, I wish I’d received a direct rejection from them, rather than have them keep me hanging like this. I think I could’ve dealt with the disappointment better if it came earlier on. Now I have entrance exams to write for colleges in my own country, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to just put all this aside and continue with my preparations.</p>

<p>I may be over-reacting to this, but CMU was my first preference and this priority waitlist status made me, perhaps foolishly, believe that I actually had a chance of making it through. I feel like they dangled the offer of admission in front of my face then quickly snatched it away from me.</p>

<p>I got into the School of Design. I was on their PWL.</p>

<p>I wish I knew how many were on the PWL for Design :/</p>

<p>but still, yay!</p>

<p>Move to the regular waitlist. MCS physics major. Anyone the same boat with me? Probably end up with CCSF! :(</p>

<p>When it comes down to it college admissions are full of ******** they don’t care if they waste our time or not. They should get rid of the regular wait list and just reject us this is just plain stupid. I’ll take rejection over wait list any day since wait list is just false hope for most people. Only the small few will ever get off it</p>

<p>Do none of you realize that YOU are making yourselves worry so much about Carnegie Mellon and have false hopes?</p>

<p>total, how many get off from PWL, WL?</p>

<p>The letter was very misleading cortana.</p>

<p>I’m just curious as to how many got off the MCS priority waiting list. It might be fun to wait till june 1st but I don’t think there is any point with the regular waitlist. Really don’t get why they said they’d take people off of it in the email if they took next to no one from MCS etc. for PWL itself.</p>

<p>I’m a MCS physics major aswell</p>

<p>anyone received an email about whether to continue on the regular list?
I got one for IS</p>

<p>I’m on the reg wait list for cit and I did not receive any email yet. Does anyone know How it is looking for reg waiting list students?</p>

<p>I got into Dietrich. I just got an email this morning. I can’t even believe myself right now.</p>

<p>bellugs - so you were moved to the regular waitlist and now got in. Congrats - are you coming to CMU?</p>

<p>I got an email the day before I got accepted asking if I’d like to stay on the Dietrich waitlist. I replied back saying Yes, and the next day, they said I was in!! And yes I’m going, I sent my enrollment deposit in and everything! I’m beyond excited, these things never happen to me. lol.</p>

<p>^^Wow, pulled off the regular waitlist! That’s a good sign. I’m glad it happened to you!</p>

<p>is this only for HSS or did MCS get emails too?</p>

<p>got in for Dietrich!</p>

<p>^^That’s amazing, xoxor, I thought they didn’t ever call off the regular waitlist, and now two for Dietrich! Are you going?</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got into Dietrich! That’s great!</p>

<p>My S had been admitted to Dietrich but decided not to go - he actually wanted to be in SCS (waitlisted) but loved liberal arts as well. It seems like a great school, and I hope you all have a wonderful time there.</p>

<p>thanks busdriver! yes i was really happy and surprised to hear so early on!</p>
