<p>International students get their packages through UPS. UPS actually cares about getting packages where they need to be on time.</p>
<p>We, on the other hand, get ours through USPS. They’re not built to handle huge influxes of letters/packages like what CMU just sent out. So it’ll be a delay.</p>
<p>Nothing in NY. </p>
<p>This is a little ridiculous. There is no point in waiting to post them online if the letters don’t even come in time.</p>
<p>trf, where in NY are you? I’m in NY too so I guess that means nothing for me today.</p>
<p>@Lrn2wlk - that probably is encouraging. I don’t think anyone is going to be able to verify this for sure, but they probably don’t look at fin. aid for students who are rejected anyway. The fact that fin. aid was calculated probably means she was admitted. Congrats.</p>
<p>I believe the international student. For ED decisions CMU sent out international decisions early so all the decisions would reach applicants at the same time. It’s impossible to calculate when an package will reach an international student so maybe they sent out the package early just in case.</p>
<p>Nothing in the mail here in NYC.</p>
<p>Nothing in NJ either. How frustrating.</p>
<p>-___- <— My face after the mail man came.</p>
<p>If they mailed them out on the 24th the Pittsburgh people would have had theirs by now, don’t you think?</p>
<p>There must be some huge backup in Pittsburgh that delayed them for a day or two. Otherwise Pittsburgh would definitely have them by now.</p>
<p>Mailman has come and gone…no CM mail in the midwest today either. Why not just post it online on a given day like MIT and other schools do. That’s how we are all going to find out anyways as it looks.</p>
<p>For your information, this was posted on the admissions blogs by an admission officer:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So, not all of the letters were mailed on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Ha, did the mailman come at the same time for everyone? I’m in Plano, TX (Dallas, basically), and I just got the mail too. Nothing. I did get my selective service registration confirmation though.</p>
<p>Oh, and one more thing to chuckle at while you’re waiting:</p>
<p>CMU has a special hotline that admitted students can call to get more information. Guess what it is?</p>
<p>412-CMU-IMIN. :D</p>
<p>I got the mail on 25th, but im an international student (although its only Canada), so i guess they mail out the international students first? So i’m sure you guys will be fine :).</p>
<p>Btw, i was accepted :)</p>
<p>lol at Rissa’s comment</p>
<p>Nice soadquake! (<em>air highfive</em>)</p>
<p>And congrats caddyness! Yeah, I heard it was the same for all of the ivy league colleges too; the international students got all of their stuff long before the other applicants.</p>
<p>So will they post everyone’s online tomorrow, or just the ones who got mailed on Wednesday?</p>
<p>I’m also wondering about that. ^^^^</p>
<p>mzbkiya, they post the decisions online three days after the day they mailed it to you, so they’ll put up the decisions for all the people who they mailed on wednsday</p>
