<p>Unfortunately, I decided to not enroll at CMU. SORRY GUYS!</p>
<p>Anyways, I was wondering what we should do if we decide not to? I looked in my fat letter but apparently, there's no card indicating whether you choose to enroll or not. Just an envelope and explanations on Health insurance, Orientation, etc...</p>
<p>Hey Monkeystar. Did you get accepted off Harvard wait-list??</p>
<p>I hope <em>crosses fingers</em>, but no, not yet. I just enrolled at Northwestern.</p>
<p>Haha right, ok. Good luck with that! And… thanks for freeing up a spot for the CMU wait-listees.</p>
<p>O sure. anytime. If I could, I would’ve written a letter to the admissions office telling them to accept you!</p>
<p>Anyways, I heard waitlistees hear by the May 6th? Good luck!</p>
<p>Fat Letter is kinda disappointing, isn’t it. You really don’t <em>enroll</em> but reserve a seat as a freshman. I imagine all schools really have a similar policy and will stuff the fat letter with different things to solidify the deal.</p>
<p>Yeah! I have the same question. How do we notify CMU?</p>
<p>I turned down an Andrew Carnegie Scholarship and Science and Humanities Scholar Program. My parents can’t believe it, but I don’t think I’d fit in well with the campus culture.</p>
<p>We did email with TIN of student and a letter to admissions for our kid’s acceptance. Signed by student and a parent. Is there another way?</p>
<p>for my decline, I just checked the box on one of the papers that read “I will not enroll at Carnegie Mellon. I will enroll at ______________.” and faxed it to the number on the paper. The paper also had a box above that with info if you did plan on attending. It reads “Carnegie Mellon University” and then under that “Fall 2009 Enrollment Reply Form”.</p>
<p>if they don’t receive it, I expect to get some notice after may first, after which I will simply explain to them that I will not be attending.</p>
<p>hope this helps.</p>
<p>(btw, I do wish I could go to cmu, but the financial burden is just too heavy. I hope all you freshman have a good time and succeed, though. (: )</p>
<p>Odd coincidence - my S is in CMU that you turned down and went to NU where my D is a freshman. Which dorm did you sign up for there - my D found Slivka in the north campus to be quite good.</p>
