Official Carnegie Mellon Class of 2020 Applicants Discussion Thread

@Kylemcgrogan Do you know you were waitlisted for sure? I guess something got caught up in the mail ( which seems like a legitimate reason) and that gives me hope! Because I was too late to check if I was waitlisted or not and I got nothing from CMU in the mail today…so gives me a little bit of hope

just got my FAT packet in BAY AREA CALIFORNIA

Yeah @terr24lr I filled out the waitlist form and selected priority waitlist last night. Totally ridiculous it takes 3 days for something to travel 25 miles. I think a tree-sloth could’ve make it by now…

@jovanuhh123 theres now way, did you reall?

@jovanuhh123 where in the bay area are you?

Anyone in Texas get anything?

FAT doesn’t stand for anything. It literally means “fat” according to CMU Admission’s Twitter.

Do any of you know how it was delivered? Like USPS, FedEx, or UPS?

@Kylemcgrogan I don’t know if I am waitlisted or not but because you know you were waitlisted and were supposed to get a package and you didn’t yet just yet…does give me a little bit of hope to hold on to because I got nothing in the mail

i live in Fremont CA

i went outside and saw my USC acceptance and was curious so i checked the mail AND MY FAT PACKET WAS THERE

How do you know if you have been waitlisted? Can I check online?

@Icantevencollegeomg I did not receive a rejection letter but I did not receive a FAT packet or a waitlist letter. I live in MA and other people in MA received their FAT packages today so I know I have been rejected.

you guys dont lose hope…i got in with a 3.75 UW GPA and 2 C’s

What school/major did you apply to @jovanuhh123 congrats on the acceptance!

@jovanuhh123 What is your major?

Got waitlisted.

Not for nothing, but isn’t the midnight release time kind of silly? Why not 7:00 p.m., or 9:00 p.m.

Midnight seems odd.

neuroscience

anyone from NEW YORK who did or did not receive the fat package?
