So if they sent them out today and we all hypothetically(hopefully) got in, will we receive the letters before Saturday?
perhaps but for most of us i doubt it
@NotAMathlete It seems we’re on part 3 for these decision threads 
Good luck to everyone! I can already feel the stress coming back… how long do you guys think it’ll take for a letter to get from carnegie mellon to NJ?
Also just created/verified my USPS account and it says I have nothing coming in the mail…
but idk whether or not that means anything.
USPS accounts guys or UPS? I don’t think USPS let’s you see all the different mail you are getting each day. UPS lets you track packages but the letters are being sent through USPS not UPS.
@ALeynng I think the acceptance rate is a bit lower this year due to more people applying – CMU is still going to accept the same amount of people.
Does anyone know if decisions are only released via a letter in the mail, or are they also released online?
@ThriveToSurvive The letters were mailed out yesterday (but they only mail acceptances and waitlists). The decisions will also be posted online March 26th
@NICE8x Ok thank you!
@NICE8x If a mail (regular or expedited) has a tracking number you can see its coming to your household if you have signed up in USPS. It seems they didn’t use tracking numbers even in their priority mails.
The following is an example of USPS tracking: This is a regular mail and the following tracking was automatically delivered in my email and my phone:

@NICE8x just sign up on their website. There is a bunch of security questions on your house you need to answer but after that you can track your package; I think you guys are right, it would be a mail instead of a package so my USPS won’t show it anyway; Keeping my hope up
@Homsar, priority mail from Pittsburgh area to NJ is normally two days.
Is anyone else’s portal down?
@crimsonwarrior Mine is.
@crimsonwarrior Mine’s down as well. I keep getting this error message:
“The application you are attempting to access is not currently available.
Please try again later.”
Portal is working, but I still get the
“Your financial aid processing is not yet complete.Check back on ‘Where Am I In the Process’ to be sure you’ve submitted all your required documents”
message when clicking the Financial Aid Notification button. Our documents have been on file since mid February…
@dbjs70 Its like that for everyone. Likely means nothing.
@bloodythunder, agreed…magically an acceptance will appear and then a bushel of money, right
