Official Carnegie Mellon Class of 2020 Applicants Discussion Thread

I just dont think CMU has loopholes like this though

@supbros111 It’s not really a loophole because they mailed out the waitlists (and acceptances) yesterday and they don’t know when they will arrive. They need to make sure once students receive waitlist notifications that they can opt in if they so choose.

it says that i am waitlisted for ECE, is there still chance that I can get into CIT for other engineering majors? My first choice is ECE.

@ALeynng mine says the same. I’m not sure. I think we have a chance of being accepted cit but restricted from ece

@Aleynng Maybe. We nearly have a day left before it’s time, so just hold tight a little bit longer!

@MandomeLife the spots limit does suck. But we’ll just have to see :slight_smile: if it doesn’t work out I’ll at least know I tried my best :’’’’’’’)

Could that hold true for MCS? Waitlisted for Math…

Too scared to check that waitlist thing… I’ll hold tight.

Woke up from a nap just now and I imagined I was at school and everyone had their CMU acceptance packets except me. ahaahaa. Decisions make me so fucking nervous.

Says I’m not in the waitlist

I was waitlisted at a college that wasn’t my first choice…? So does that mean i got rejected at my first choice?

@alpha525 No, that means you were either accepted or rejected at your first choice

Can someone kinda rank the order of difficulty of getting into each school?

scs is the hardest for sure

I applied to Dietrich, and my friend told me it was the least selective.

I got wait listed for mcs undecided, and it was my second choice. Does this mean I’m rejected from ece (my first choice) for sure?

@alpha525 just google “cmu admission rate” and click on the first link. Breakdowns for each school.

Also, School of Drama is actually the most selective, even more so than CS. :wink:

so do we think letters will come tmrw or Saturday?

@neverbefore I mean rates are rather subjective bc the applicant pools can differ in strength. I got waitlisted at Tepper even though I already got into NYU Stern lol.

not on the waiting list… i’m either going to be ecstatic or despondent for an entire week
