<p>Accepted zomgggggg</p>

<p>My decision isn’t posted, but it DID update to show “Decision Notification” under documents sent. This is so frustrating!</p>

<p>Waitlisted to CIT, will post later D:</p>

<p>If I send them that I led my team to 8th out of 40 teams in science Olympiad in the state this year (in our second year), getting 4th and 9th in my events, getting 2nd in the history bowl in the state, top 5 for the history bee in the state, and making it to nationals for both, do you think that would help in anyway?</p>

<p>Accepted! woww was not expecting this, just read it over 10 times to make sure
I just screamed and scared the crap out my parents haha

<p>General comments: Awesome but expensive surprise. Didn’t expect this after Northwestern and Berkeley rejections, but now I have at least one good tech school option!</p>

<p>Same situation here pureblue. Guess I’ll be staying up all night again tomorrow!</p>

<p>does the thing that says “not admitted” mean rejected???</p>

<p>Waitlisted at MCS. Not too bummed though - I already got into my first choice.
But I did notice something odd. For things sent it said:
15-feb-2011 Decision Notification Letter </p>

<p>Does this mean they decided I was waitlisted in February?</p>

<p>Guys your decision is in the spot where is says:</p>

<p>College Choices
Preference College Department Program Decision</p>

<p>Under decision…</p>

<p>My D waitlisted for SCS.</p>

<p>If you applied to only one school, are you in priority waitlist or is there a different criteria that is used? Also, does this mean waitlisted applicants can expect a final decision only after deadline for acceptance?</p>

<p>Waitlisted ~ I am surprised I wasn’t denied, CMU was a reach school for me <em>Wake Forest here I come!</em></p>

<p>“07-feb-2011 Decision Notification”
Haha what?</p>

<p>Accepted to MCS, forgot to apply to SCS… Dang.</p>

<p>Waitlisted at CIT, too, so i guess i didn’t have much chance in scs then.</p>
