Official Class of 2022 Applicants Discussion Thread

@wizwind No effect whatsoever. CMU is need-blind.

@wizwind no Iā€™m pretty sure financial aid wonā€™t 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. Itā€™s been working since

MODERATORā€™S NOTE:

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 ā€œclose to Pittsburghā€?? Like the areas around Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania??..

@mainer199 yeaā€¦

Donā€™t 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 Iā€™d 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 whoā€™s currently taking multiā€¦ lowkey freaking out about my decision a littleā€¦

And when do you get access to the list of fin aid docs?
