General Comments: CMU is one of my top choice schools :] I don’t even know what to say. Quite a few kids applied from my school too, so I’m curious to see what happens tomorrow. I’m still waiting for Cornell and Johns Hopkins though…</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone accepted! I’m sure everything will work out fine regardless of whether or not you were admitted.</p>

<p>Is the application id we’re supposed to use our Common App ID?</p>

<p>@Enceph: no. when you received an application information packet from CMU, there was an application ID written somewhere within. Otherwise just hinge on the mail</p>

<p>**Decision: Accepted to CIT (ECE) **</p>

General Comments:
Pleasantly surprised. :slight_smile: Waitlisted at SCS, but that was my second choice.</p>

<p>still cant believe i got in but i guess im just waiting for financial aid. news came on saturday. mom said she cried but im still blank about it…i guess it hasnt hit me yet.</p>

<p>What was inside the application receipt mail? Is the ID listed on a letter paper or is it in a thick packet?</p>

<p>The Application ID was on the letter page. If you didn’t get it, you can call (not now, though) and ask them or email them.</p>

<p>They sent me my Admissions ID by phone after I contacted them. To which I promptly lost it again until I double clicked Chrome and my entry that I typed in was saved in there.</p>

<p>Thanks, Google Chrome!</p>

<p>Is there anyone else who hasn’t yet received their decision? Maybe its the fact that I applied to tepper; havn’t seen any decisions on CC from there yet.</p>

<p>no decision yet. Asian living in South Korea.</p>

<p>One of my friends checked online and got an acceptance from Tepper.</p>

<p>Wow I totally can’t believe I got accepted to CIT (CHE)! I took a chance on my essay, and I was nervous that they would hate it. I didn’t really think that I had anything that set me apart either. Ahhhhh I’m so excited. I don’t even know why because I could never in a million years afford CMU haha.</p>
