I’m not quite sure what I’m going to do… CMU SCS is my top-choice and I wasn’t really planning on going anywhere else; at least I don’t think I’m going to be satisfied anywhere else. I’ll sleep on it I guess.</p>

General Comments:
I was not expecting to get in. I am ridiculously excited</p>
<p>Rejected. =P Doesn’t really matter since I didn’t want to go here and I got in some other places. Plus, I don’t mean to be arrogant but I would’ve probably been accepted [because the best college essay i wrote was for cmu] had I sent my TOEFL score but those ****ers are so expensive to send. =P Anyway, congrats to everyone who got in! =D And those who didn’t, you’re gonna get in some place or the other. It might even be better than CMU. 
Good Luck to all for the future! =D</p>

General Comments:
Sooo happy. After being waitlisted at wustl and chicago, I was expecting the worst. I REALLY hope the financial aid offer is ok. Good luck to all.</p>
<p>Hmm…not seeing anything news here. No decision updates and no update regarding letter being sent. Does it appear updates are still rolling out in waves? Midwest here so no international implications…</p>
<p>Nextchapter, I am in the same boat as you. No decision and No letter sent. This is very frustrating. I’m in New Jersey so doesn’t seem to be a regional problem.</p>
<p>In Delaware -no letter and no on-line decision yet</p>
