Decision letters are almost here!

<p>I say they’ll post everyone’s decision Sunday and the servers will crash and not get fixed until Monday.
(8^P</p>

<p>I just got “This is the official fat letter” in the mail today. I live in Pittsburgh…</p>

<p>The mailman came and left and didn’t even call back.</p>

<p>Steelers, it took the “snail mail” 3 days to crawl around Pittsburgh? LOL</p>

<p>Congrats!</p>

<p>Congrats Steeler</p>

<p>I got in ED though but I guess they send out FAT letters for ED kids in March too.</p>

<p>AVHS Dad. My mom remembers you from Rice ED. Let’s hope we fair better at CMU. Did your son apply at Duke also? Monday is going to be a crazy day at our house.</p>

<p>According to the Carnegie Mellon facebook admissions page:
Q: If we don’t receive the letter tomorrow, you mentioned that the decisions will be posted online on Sunday. Does that mean 4/28 12:01am??</p>

<p>A: Carnegie Mellon Office of Admission: The decisions won’t be posted at exactly 12:01 a.m. but sometime in the early morning.</p>

<p>Please tell me I don’t have to stay up till 3 am to get my decision. There is no way I’m sleeping.</p>

<p>@anon345, just take some Tylenol PM… when you wake up at 2:30pm, you’re decision will be waiting for you on the website :)</p>

<p>(Disclaimer: I am joking. Taking sleeping pills, especially ones containing acetaminophen, is probably not a good idea if you do not need them. Try doing something productive to pass the time.)</p>

<p>Nothing here for MA.
Looks like its midnight waiting.</p>

<p>If my financial aid was just completed today when should I expect to see a financial aid elegibility letter going out? I’m really really really hoping I got in. :(</p>

<p>I live in Jersey, still waiting :(</p>

<p>I’m in North Jersey and I got my “official fat letter” today!</p>

<p>@miss92lady congrats! Which school did you apply to at CMU?</p>

<p>Here’s some good news! According to the admission office Facebook page, a “Financial Aid Eligibility Letter” showing up on your status page means:</p>

</p>

<p>What if our financial aid documents are showing up as completed today? Should we have still gotten one sent on the 26th if we were admitted or waitlisted? </p>

<p>my snail mail mid-ear hadn’t made it to CMU so I just faxed them a copy on the 25th (they got it that day too). </p>

<p>I’m I right in saying that I’m going to be penalized for this?</p>

<p>@freethefork - honestly, no - not necessarily. I don’t even think mid-year reports were an absolute requirement, but they do require final grades eventually.</p>

<p>much thanks!</p>

<p>i hope you’re right. CMU is one of my top choices (ok more like my top choice haha)</p>

<p>@bimmerb0y- Thanks, I applied to 2 colleges. Accepted to H&SS (my first choice) and waitlisted at MCS.</p>
