@friendfiend I believe that letter goes out to all prospective students who interview. My son just got the same letter yesterday.

22

I am a prospective, anxious applicant to SCS. I have already submitted my App for ED.

I received my ACT score today. Does CMU accept ACT scores that are sent after the deadline?.Please suggest if you are aware of the policy.

ā€œI am a prospective, anxious applicant to SCS. I have already submitted my App for ED.ā€
Quite actually me.

24

Anyone received the Application Instruction Book? Whatā€™s inside?

25

Okay guys thereā€™s a financial aid button there nowā€¦ It just tells me all my forms arenā€™t in yet but like
heavy breathing

26

Parts of the new CMU common data are available

27

I just saw the new CMU common data set, and I realized that they do not care level of applicant interest anymoreā€¦

28

Did you all get Application receipt email from CMU. The portal says they sent it but my D never fot it.

29

What ā€œAttestationsā€ missing in CMU financial aid documents mean. Not sure what to upload or send for it. Please let me know if you are aware of it.

30

Anybody know how to select the BXA program in CommonApp?

31

CMU apparently requires all of SAT OR ACT scores. I took ACT, SAT, and SAT IIā€™s. I just sent my ACT, because it said all ACT or all SAT. I also sent my required SAT II scores. Am I fine, or do I have to send my regular SAT as well?

32

No idea @JigglyPuffs123 . I am sure most times its choose between SAT or ACT and whatever you choose to send , you have to send all scores for that test.

This is from CMU website:
All applicants are required to submit all official results* of either the old SAT Reasoning Test/SAT Test or the ACT Test.

So its either/or

33

International male student who applied to ECE with ED! The admission results are rolling out in 20 days, canā€™t wait :slight_smile:

34

Has anyone received a ā€œFollow up Letterā€ or seen that on the ā€œWhere Am I In the Processā€ page? Whatā€™s that about? Fairly nervous about it.

35

@JigglyPuffs123
So I believe, but am no way certain of this, that they superscore your tests, that is, take the highest score from each category from each test you send, which is why they ask you for all your scores.
However, I really donā€™t think the admissions office is going to search for test scores you donā€™t send and hold that against you. Youā€™re probably fine.

36

Hi all! Iā€™m an ED applicant to SCS. If any of you took the November tests, the scores should have been put on file by now. My portal just updated today and it now shows ā€œApplication Complete.ā€ Also, last year decisions came out at 12:00 AM on the 10th (correct me if Iā€™m wrong.) So, our decisions are likely to be released 12:00 AM on the 9th (also a Saturday).

Good luck everyone!

37

Anyone applying ed to MCS??

38

S can see the Financial Aid Docs Received section has been updated and the Financial Aid Notification button is there to complete your ā€œAttestationsā€.

Getting close to decision timeā€¦

39

@RoleastLained does ā€œApplication Completeā€ mean that theyā€™ve made their decision?

40

My CMU Financial aid section says ā€œAttestationsā€ not received. what are these and how do I get these to the school.

Also, do you need to send student W2 forms if you do not work? They have my parentsā€™ tax returns but do they still need mine
