**Official Carnegie Mellon University Class of 2013 RD Decisions Thread**

<p>Aw, I just checked my mail... no letter. I guess I'm not in the first wave. I live in PA</p>

<p>@chronicfuture12:</p>

<p>so did you get in? and did you receive a notificitation in "where am i in the process" ?</p>

<p>i called the admissions office and they said it would be very rare if anyone got their letter today. Tommorow is a better bet. They also told me decisions are posted tommorow.</p>

<p>@chronicfuture12: first, congratulations! second, did you have blank line? if so, which date? and again, CONGRATS!!! :)</p>

<p>Haha, I guess some people's mail carriers are just more efficient. Well, I guess I'll just wait until tomorrow...</p>

<p>[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: cause i own a gecko[/li][/ul]</p>

<p>To the people who asked before: yes, I did get a blank line around March 18th, and it appeared next to March 4th.</p>

<p>This is not intended to hijack the thread, I am merely making an amusing relation to one of Gecko's comments about his SAT scores.</p>

<p>Geckolord -> Lol, I believe that I have one of the best SAT breakdowns. 2290 composite. But what is the individual breakdown? 800 M, 800 CR, and 690 W! Yay! But I'm using my ACT's in lieu of SAT anyways, so w/e... My only problem is a low GPA.</p>

<p>Back to decisions... congrats to all those who are in!</p>

<p>screw it.. i should have written a longer essay (on the sat).... w.e</p>

<p>so, to those who have been accepted... did your "where am i" page say when your letter was mailed, before you received it?</p>
