Hey guys! I’ve been especially concerned with getting off the priority waitlist for Tepper undergrad, let’s share our knowledge about filled seats and any general updates from admissions so we have a clearer picture in this anxiety-induced moment!
It’s finally the 5th, and I really hope that Carnegie Mellon has open seats for Tepper, but wish you all luck for the other colleges as well!
It’s really tough. Last year, only 23 students got off the waitlist
According to the CDS, it was 35. More importantly though, it was from a pool of almost 9000.
From a pool of 5,319 just to be accurate. Still extremely low of course.
But also worth noting that last year was atypical at most schools, with very little WL movement due to gap year students from the prior year.
8792 were offered. 5139 choose to stay on the list. 35 matriculated. No matter how you parse it though, like at many schools, getting off the waitlist is a long shot. 
As of yet did anyone get off the priority waitlist?
nope haven’t heard back yet!
dont see any updates yet either
My DD got accepted into CMU(SCS) Comp Science. She was on the priority waiting list.
Wow! That’s fantastic. Congratulations!
How did they contact her? And is she going to accept?
They sent an email stating “At this time, we have space in the School of Computer Science and think you would be a great fit for our campus community”. Yes, she is going to accept the offer.
Not received anything yet. Does it mean there is no hope? Anyone accepted by school of engineering?
Which college? I am still waiting for MCS as well. According to a Reddit user, only 30 offers from WL and none from MCS are expected. I am hoping it is not true.
pretty sure it isnt, lots of people saying SCS is yield is way lower than expected and they should have some spots
I’ve seen one Tepper student get accepted today. Me and a bunch of others are still waiting one way or another. Good luck to all of us!
What is her HS stat? GPA, ACT/SAT etc. ?
will there be another round of scs waitlist acceptances or this is it 
Congratulations! I heard CMU is need aware for waitlist. Is she full pay or did she need financial aid? If you don’t mind sharing.
Thanks… You are right, it is need-aware for the waitlist. Unfortunately, we didn’t qualify for any financial-aid so will be paying full price.
They have given her till Monday to pay the deposit and confirm the offer. I guess they could come up with one more list once they get responses from this list.
