I think I just got a text from CMU

<p>"Admission ID - [ID here] / Please send a return text confirming receipt of id - <a href="mailto:tartan.admission.smc@gmail.com">tartan.admission.smc@gmail.com</a>"</p>

<p>What exactly does this mean?</p>

<p>Thats really weird, I’ve never heard of a college doing that before. Come to think of it, I cant even remember if Carnegie asked for my cell number.</p>

<p>I do not know, my son received his admissions ID ages ago. Did you lose yours and request a new one?</p>

<p>Oh wait, come to think of it, I lost my ID and requested it to be sent to me like a month ago. I wasn’t expecting them to text it to me though and I already found my ID last week</p>

<p>I doubt CMU would use Gmail to communicate with applicants.</p>

<p>I would reply back and see. Oh, and send your SSN and bank account just in case they need additional confirmation!</p>

<p>Actually- wonder if someone is attempting to garner such info from a phony gmail acct?</p>

<p>Glad you posted this!</p>

<p>Agree-- no way would gmail be the sender…</p>

<p>cmu emails should be @andrew.cmu.edu or at least @SUBDOMAIN.cmu.edu (or just @cmu.edu), I’d ignore it, maybe even report it to admissions so they know about it</p>

<p>then again since they sent the information to you…who knows…just don’t give out any info via text…</p>

<p>I think this is a ■■■■■ don’t believe it.</p>

<p>"I think this is a ■■■■■ don’t believe it. "</p>

<p>Some of you people need to seriously stop with the ■■■■■ business. Just because your small mind can’t comprehend that maybe - just maybe - I might not be lying as you believe, it doesn’t make me a ■■■■■. I received a text stating that e-mail address so I figured I’d ask here to find out what that was about.</p>

<p>I’m going to email admissions asking them about this anyway. But I didn’t give out any personal info to them</p>

<p>wow boy I don’t mean to say you are a ■■■■■!! I mean the email sender is a ■■■■■ and you should not believe it!!</p>

<p>you really really should not misunderstand me.</p>

<p>Oh wow, I’m really sorry lmao. I completely misunderstood what you were saying, no hard feelings</p>
