<p>I got waitlisted too and I’m surprised!</p>
<p>Ds is in with a merit scholarship. Anyone know when FA is sent?</p>
<p>hold on, where do we check the decisions? i can’t find it</p>
<p>CMC sent out emails a day or two ago with a link with an admissions portal where you log in and go through a few steps to see your decision.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted as well.</p>
<p>Rejected. No person with similar credentials from daughter’s school has not gotten in before. Can’t explain it.</p>
<p>D1 is on a backpacking trip and simply texted ‘Nope CMC’ so I don’t know if it’s a waitlist or a rejection, but I guess it comes to pretty much the same thing. </p>
<p>Best of luck to all of you: In or Out!</p>
<p>Rejected, with a 2350 SAT and acceptances to Northwestern and Washington Universities. Fortuantely, I’d already ruled out CMC because it was too far away from where I live. The rejection still stings, though.</p>
<p>So little activity on here. Was hoping for a nice compilation of stats for accepted, waitlisted, and rejected students as those are so helpful. :(</p>
<p>D was wait listed -2150 SAT, 4.38 GPA, top 1% of her class, tons of ECs, volunteer and community service hours - a little disappointed but CMC was not her top choice (although we did visit the campus and she loved it). She will not take a spot on the wait list because we can not afford it without merit aid and we don’t qualify for other FA.</p>
<p>pualum,</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I can explain it. My D just discovered that a classmate, with similar stats, including a rare activity and language skills, had been accepted in ED. With the school accepting only 300 students, that made my D’s application less “unique” and had she known she might have opted to skip CMC for RD. So given the huge number of applications, it is wholly possible that the school is either</p>
<ol>
<li>looking for a different set of skill sets given how many students they’ve already taken from your D’s school in order to maximize the variety and breadth on campus.</li>
</ol>
<p>or</p>
<ol>
<li>this year other students in the applicant pool (from other schools) came in with similar stats.</li>
</ol>
<p>A better example is if the school has always coveted a rare combination of skills (say a Tuba player from Montana to fill out the orchestra and to get midwest diversity) and your child is the only one that year - it bodes well. But if they now have too many, or if in that year they get Tuba players from Montana, Iowa, and Oklahoma - then it becomes more of a battle. </p>
<p>It isn’t a reflection on your D in any way. Chances are she probably advanced to the “finalist” round before they made their final choices.</p>
<p>Accepted! 4.0 unweighted gpa, large public school, ACT 35, SAT II 800,790. All first attempt. 4 APs (5,5,5,4) 4 more APs this year. Tons of extracurriculars. Lots of academic awards. Got merit award from CMC.</p>
<p>that’s weird, they never sent me any notification by email, so i can’t access the portal…anyone else in the same boat? :(</p>
<p>Accepted! 2310-sat, 36-act, 800’s on history, math, chem,
. 9 ap’s with 8 5’s. plus 5 more this year. National AP Scholar, National Merit Finalist. president of 3 clubs, Paid research intern at Cleveland Clinic. only got the achievement scholarship (10,000) so probably not gonna be able to attend.</p>
<p>I was accepted as well, and got a merit award. I was pleasantly shocked to say the least, as I didn’t expect to get in, much less earn a scholarship. </p>
<p>I applied with a 4.0 GPA (3.98 on the midterm report, though), 2190 SAT, SAT IIs of 790 and 720, 3 APs (5,5,4, and 3 APs senior year – still more or less the most difficult course load my school offers), and some really good and focused extra curriculars that I was passionate about, which I think ultimately made the difference and helped me stand out. </p>
<p>My essays (particularly my supplement) were a little risky but helped continue my political narrative. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting anything, because I wrote the supplemental essay in the two hours before the application was due. In hindsight, I think that might have helped, though – the rawness with which I wrote my essay really represented who I was and contained my voice.</p>
<p>Congrats to all of you who got in, but keep your heads up if you didn’t. I have a feeling that nearly all of us, regardless of our admission decision yesterday, will be heading towards bright futures.</p>
<p>Thanks to those who are posting results with stats. It’s very helpful! :)</p>
<p>Congratulations to all that got in! CMC is truly an amazing place to spend your college years. Feel free to message me with any questions (or even post them in this thread for the benefit of everyone) that you have and I will reply as swiftly as possible!</p>
<p>Go Stagthenas!</p>
<p>Like friendlystag said, CMC is an incredible place and I am so happy for all of you new potential Stagthenas! I am SO jealous that you all have four whole years at CMC ahead of you - I’d give anything to have that much time left on campus! I HIGHLY encourage you to attend Inside CMC Day on either April 12th or April 19th, as I feel visiting campus and meeting students/faculty will really help your decision. The program is great and gives you opportunities to ask any and all questions you have about the school.
Hope to see you on campus!</p>
<p>I asked this before but didn’t get too many responses, so econ at cmc and cs at Harvey mudd double major- doable?</p>

<p>Absolutely, nicklillie! It may require some creative scheduling when it comes to actual class times, but definitely doable.</p>
