@wizwind No effect whatsoever. CMU is need-blind.
@wizwind no Iām pretty sure financial aid wonāt affect admissions
I can still open WAITPā¦ is it really under an update and can not be opened?
WAIitP works for me.
I believe applying for financial aid only hurts you if you are wait listed because at this point they have little money left.
@mainer199, @QuiteAnxious it was down for just a few minutes. Itās been working since

No AO would exhibit that level of unprofessionalism. You might want to assess how you choose your friends. 9 posts which serve only to heighten the drama have been deleted.
Anyone know if anyone from last year got their decision by mail before the online reveal?
Thank you Moderator!
@CMUapplicantECE I think I read on last years thread that some people that live close to Pittsburgh received it before
@cmudreamer what do you mean by āclose to Pittsburghā?? Like the areas around Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania??..
@mainer199 yeaā¦
Donāt worry too much guys, results are out tomorrow midnight after all. Best of luck!
Quick question: I applied RD for CMU (although I was initially EDing until I thought about fin aid) does anyone have a guess how my stats would change if I decided to switch from mechanical/ chemical engineering to electrical? I had an interview on campus and my interviewer told me Iād almost definitely get into CIT for MechE/ ChemE granted there was no crazy applicant pool. I think he liked that in a female in Engineering whoās currently taking multiā¦ lowkey freaking out about my decision a littleā¦
And when do you get access to the list of fin aid docs?
