<p>Does anyone know the statistics on WL (chance to get accepted)? Thanks</p>

<p>Anyone get FIN AID info with Fat Envelope or Online?</p>

<p>Decision: Waitlisted at SCS&CIT</p>

<p>Don’t know what to say. This is the 3rd WL I’ve got. Though Waitlisted by CIT kind of surprised me.
since I got into Caltech, every school is waitlisting me. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. </p>

<p>I think I won’t take a spot in the WL though. So good luck with you guys who are Waitlisted but still want to attend CMU.</p>

[li] Gender: Male[/li][/ul]**General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: Don’t stress too much about your grades and your scores, seriously.</p>

<p>wow, it must have been competitive this year.</p>

<p>I got into CIT ECE with the following last year:</p>

<p>SAT I: math: 620, reading: 640, writing: 590
SAT II: MathI: 590, MathII: 520, Physics: 550, Literature: 530.</p>

<p>Not joking. Guys, this school isnt about the scores. You need to have something that adds to the class.</p>

<p>Also, you come here to learn. You go to public school to get a piece of paper. Dont come here unless you want to actually learn something. Youll be challenged for what is probably the first time in your entire lives…</p>

<p>Financial AID doesnt come in the FAT envelope.</p>
