Official Class of 2022 Applicants Discussion Thread

Anyone receive their financial aid yet?

Does CMU send the “For Accepted Tartans” letter now or later? My D only got the same accepted letter that was on the website.

For those that were accepted ED, make sure you check your WAIP FA section. My son just had an additional document added that we have to file with the IRS and then have verification sent to CMU. This is going to delay our FA decision! This is not something that we missed. It was added today.

Anyone who was denied ED planning on applying RD?

You can’t RD to the same school. If you RD to another school , will ego transcend objectivity ?

I think admissions office need to make use of AI/Deep learning to assist human AOs in making objective assessments of applications.

so many rejections


Did anyone get an admission packet other than the acceptance letter?

rejected for ECE :frowning: congrats to everyone who got in tho!!

My S applied for regular decision but received an invite to come to the senior overnight event in Jan. Is that a sign or nothing??

Has anyone gotten into Tepper yet? Not seeing anyone saying they got in there in this thread or the other one.

@amyandscott I think everyone gets the invite to turn tartan overnight. I know I did.

Hi do you guys know if the Zeemee link is necessary or can be helpful for admissions? I am just worried because I am working on my supplements now and I think it is too late for me to make a video resume.

@lenasharb I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I were you. tbh id make sure your supplements are pretty strong before you begin to add extra on stuff like zeemee to your app, esp since this is the first yr this is really being used.

I think ZeeMee definitely helps because the admissions officers will be able to literally see you as a person through videos. Essays should for sure come first though. I would create an account and leave the link in common app, and then start creating videos after you’ve either perfected your sups or even after the application deadline (since you can still upload videos).

Did anyone attend the Turn Tartan overnight in November and interview with Matt who was an alumni?

Does anyone know what school the IDeATe program is at? I don’t see an interdisciplinary studies option for colleges on common app

The deadline is at 11:59pm on 1/1 right?

@oswidan I want to say that you have to apply to both of the schools that you want to do IDeATe with. But, I’m not completely sure.

@bigbrewer299 yes, it is.

Hey has anyone gotten their financial aid notification? Deadlines for other schools are coming up and I’m getting really nervous
 wondering if I should start applying elsewhere in case the fin aid package won’t cover my need

@oswidan The IDeATe Program is technically not a major. It’s a way to enhance a major and/or minor in one of the IDeATe options. You do not have to apply to both schools unless you are looking to obtain a BXA, combining two majors. You must consult an IDeATe councilor for admission into the program and they will guide you through.
