<p>Is there a deadline for accepting a place on CMU's waitlist? Would appreciate it if someone who has already received his/her letter could tell me. </p>
<p>I'm an international applicant, which means that my letter will probably arrive rather late.</p>
<p>Can you not fax your response? or is that prohibited?</p>
<p>My son was wait listed CIT-ECE and we did not receive the kind of letter you are talking about. I don't know what is going on with CMU. Did a lot of people on this forum receive a letter explaining if you want to be on the waiting list?
When I called admissions after receiving the admissions letter, I was told to call back April 7 to find out about the wait list. My son was wait listed at Cornell and Cornell sent us a card in the mail to send back where you can tell Cornell if you want to stay on the wait list or not.</p>
<p>mdcissp, I was under the impression that some posters here received a letter (or some other form of notification) asking them to opt in/out of a priority/regular waitlist.</p>
<p>Also, I understand that your son has already been accepted at one of CMU's other colleges. Perhaps the waitlist process is different for admitted students? In effect, you're waiting for a transfer between colleges and not queueing for a place in CMU.</p>
<p>thisoldman, hm but I don't have anything to respond to atm. I have no way to find out if I've been offered the priority/regular waitlist option until my letter (there's one right? not sure now lol) arrives. </p>
<p>I just want to know if I'm at danger of missing any deadline(s).</p>
<p>Son was waitlisted. Letter states reply deadline is April 11.</p>
<p>My son's acceptance letter was denied SCS, wait-listed CIT-ECE, and accepted to various majors in ECE. It was a combination of denied, wait list, and accepted acceptance. We did not receive any other letter. I will have to call CMU again although I think my son is going to take one of the great merit aids offered to him at another fine school. CMU was disappointing.</p>
<p>Thanks alot DJMom ... I'll probably have to call them up then</p>
