<p>General Comments:
Let’s see. They accepted me with two C-'s, a mediocre SAT Math 1c. I am not a URM and in fact, am Asian from a very competitive public high school. I really am surprised to get in, but I’m also pretty darn happy. </p>
<p>I think I was accepted because of my essay and extracurriculars. Those are the only two parts that stand out, really. Maybe the fact that I’m hard of hearing contributed. I mean, I didn’t even have an interview.</p>
<p>Did anyone get any financial aid notification? I can’t wait to get the big, fat packet in the mail. And does the financial aid package come with the package?</p>
<p>Accepted H&SS!

General Comments: Wanted to get into SCS for their shiny building (okay, and for other reasons too; and I was waitlisted there) but still really excited!!! I really can’t decide between CMU and UCB, but so far CMU is on the heavier-ly weighted side. Well, I’ll know for sure in less than three days!</p>
<p>To those telling ‘blank’ people to look under decisions:</p>
<p>Some people have blanks. My best bet is that their decision mail hasn’t been sent out yet.</p>
<p>I know mine is completely blank, and I looked in the right places.</p>
<p>Accepted- CIT</p>
<p>Anyone know what kind of financial aid CMU gives?</p>
<p>Accepted to HSS.
33 ACT, top 2% of class.
