<p>Someone please HELP: I never finished my financial aid app for CMU, but my family and I don’t really care because we have gotten $0 from everywhere else.</p>
<p>Will this affect my admissions decision?</p>
<p>I doubt it will affect you at all. Most schools state that they are need blind during the admissions process. Not sure if CMU did or not, but even if they aren’t need blind that can only help you (assuming you dont have any need).</p>
<p>The financial aid forms have nothing to do with your admission.</p>
<p>if they’re posting at 12:01 we have 8 hours left!!</p>
<p>Pittsburgh is EDT, so 9 hours left. Good luck everyone.</p>
<p>It’s worthwhile to wait till 12:01. I fell asleep at 11:58 or something in front of my computer the night my decision for ED was released, and when I woke up at like 6, it was there. So I think it was up at midnight. I don’t know what it’s been like for previous years, but I know this happened for ED this year.</p>

<p>**Other Factors **: Have played piano since 4th grade, and received statewide recognition. Last year, for the earthquake in Yushu, I helped organise 2 concerts because unlike for Wenchuan (in 2008), no one in my area would do it. I also taught for 2 weeks at a rural middle school in southern Shandong, and hope to do the same in the future</p>
<p>**General Comments **: MCS Math Department. I thought my mediocre junior year would destroy my chances, but evidently not…</p>

<p>4 hours and 30 minutes!</p>
<p>Is it really coming out tonight? It possibly will tomorrow night ight?</p>
<p>I think it’s possible some were mailed friday–those would be online tuesday 12:01am</p>
<p>Under “Admission Documents Sent”, I have nothing after the stuff sent in January… Should I be worried? Does “Decision letter” or something of the sort show up for any of you guys?</p>
<p>Good luck to all of us btw!</p>
<p>All online decisions will be posted at the same time… regardless of when the letter was mailed to a specific applicant’s address</p>
<p>whether it’s tonight or not I’m still waiting up to see …</p>
<p>^^^ Agreed</p>
<p>Not up yet…</p>
<p>30 minutes, guys. </p>
<p>Who else thinks the site is going to blow up at that time?</p>
<p>meee! ahhhh im nervouss</p>
<p>Is it actually coming out at 12:01 or is this speculation? I mean either way, I’m still going to be up.</p>
<p>Actually, it may very well be possible that results won’t show up exactly at 12:01. At least, I haven’t heard any official announcement that it will. :/</p>
<p>they wrote it on the fb page, they said right after mindnight</p>
