<p>Does anybody know when they will tell you whether you got in or not if you are waitlisted?</p>
<p>We’re hoping it’s going to be in the letter. Has anyone heard if they still do “priority” waitlisting? Has anyone waitlisted received a letter?</p>
<p>I was wondering this myself. I live 30 miles from Pittsburgh and still no letter…</p>
<p>I found about being waitlisted last week presumably 4 days after they posted the letter. But I have not received the letter yet. Which means I can respond on my interest in the reply slip. In other posts I see folks have received letters after being waitlisted. So I guess it must be just normal delay in the post office.</p>
<p>Still waiting on the letter here, too…</p>
<p>Mine was “mailed” last wednesday and I am still waiting. stupid post office…</p>
<p>But did ANYONE get a waitlist letter yet? We’re very curious to know what it says re: priority or no priority, dates etc. We realize waitlist is a longshot but this lack of communication is really difficult.<br>
From the date we were told the letter was sent it has been over a week and we live in PA!
Just looking for more waitlist info. Thanks!</p>
<p>I just got a waitlisted mail from CMU (Tepper)</p>
<p>There is priority, its by April 10th</p>
<p>does anyone know the chances of getting enrolled when in priority waitlist?</p>
<p>i hate these waitlists…
i also got waitlists from Georgetown, Harvard and Columbia.
am i allowed to be on waitlists for multiple schools??</p>
<p>I got priority waitlisted to both CSC and CIT, does anyone know if i will get my $600 back if i don’t get in through priority waitlisting?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for responding. By Apr 10, are you saying that’s the date the slip is due back?<br>
I have not heard of chances for this year. Typically, they say that you can use the previous year’s acceptances from the waitlist to est. your chances, but given the economic times, I don’t think anyone knows what it will be like.<br>
Unfortunately, u r allowed 2b placed on multiple waitlists, though it doesn’t seem fair. I hope u get off of the list of the school u want most.</p>
<p>I called yesterday and they said they just mailed letters.</p>
<p>I have not gotten the letter in the mail yet. “Confused01,” did they say that they mailed all the wait list letters two days ago? </p>
<p>For those who already got the letter, could you explain the priority wait list. What does the letter say?</p>
<p>I called yesterday/today (it’s 1AM here) and the lady said that they mailed the letters on Friday and that they would be received today/tomorrow. She also said that waitlisted students had plenty of time—about three weeks—to respond to the letter.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t put too much hope into the wait list.</p>
<p>According to the CMU common data set for last year:</p>
<p>If yes, please answer the questions below for fall 2008 admissions:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list 3,139
Number accepting a place on the waiting list 320
Number of wait-listed students admitted 0</p>
<p>Cornell had the same thing: Cornell waitlisted over 3000 and admitted 44.</p>
<p>Those statistics are for the normal waitlist I think. According to the information sheet that was mailed to me, about 20% usually get accepted off of the priority waitlist.</p>
<p>@luofernando- You may have figured this out by now, but you won’t need to send in your $600 until they call and tell you that you are in. For now, you just need to send in the slip saying that you do want to be on the priority waitlist, and mean it.<br>
Finally got the letter today that “was mailed” on Mar 25.</p>
<p>"According to the CMU common data set for last year:</p>
<p>If yes, please answer the questions below for fall 2008 admissions:

<p>Keep in mind they over-enrolled last year, and the economy was doing real well.</p>
<p>Previous years, I heard the priority wait-list had an acceptance rate of upwards of 40%.</p>
<p>So if CMU employed more prudent admittance practices from their mistake last year, and with the unstable economy, we may see a significant increase back to previous levels.</p>
