Official Class of 2022 Applicants Discussion Thread

Didn’t get in

on the waitlist yet again?

WHat’s the summer thing?

@4DagoBwl4o0 That just means you’ve been returned to regular waitlist.

not in either

In computer science lingo: YAWW -Yet Another Waitlist Waitlist… This time with a physical mailer to stay on the waitlist?

@ACollegeHopeful3 Thank you! Waitlisted from a waitlist. nice

It means no we cannot have further openings. GL CMU

Our son got this notice:

Earlier this Spring, you indicated you would like your name to be placed on our waiting list for possible admission to Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering for Fall 2018. As you requested, we have kept your name on the waiting list and carefully considered your application to complete our enrollment.
As of this date, enrollment for the College of Engineering for Fall 2018 is complete. We are unable to remove your name from the waiting list and therefore cannot offer you a place in this program. However, openings may become available during the summer. If you would like us to contact you should an opening exist, please complete and return the reply slip below. We will contact only those students who return a reply slip.
On behalf of the entire Carnegie Mellon Admission Staff, I wish you well. It has been a pleasure serving you and we all wish you success as you embark on your college career.
If you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.

Yes, waitlisted from waitlist

Why couldn’t they just like- admit people normally without an essay, and not send out anything if you got sent back to wl

Has anyone been admitted?

Son got rejected. Third time (ED, RD, PWL). CMU should really take a deep lool at how they abuse students. Yes, abuse!!! Asking them to drop everything in the middle of finals week and write an essay just still say no to them once again. CMU alums, please stop donating to your school. NO school treated him this way and if I was an alum I would have been embarrassed by their treatment to aspiring scholars

WTH, how can they lie to us? they sent an email said there is space opening in the schools and now sent an admission letter saying no space, somebody should sue them

I really hate CMU at this point!

@4boyzsmom As I told you several weeks ago, waitlist admission to CMU is not need blind.

To all that were denied or deferred on the waitlist, did you seek financial aid?

@Overtheline We were only getting $1500 Federal Loan

yes, i sought FA.

no

@Overtheline I did, but Tepper School of Business was filled already. Does your statement still stand, that waitlist admission to CMU is not need blind?

@MrElonMusk When I took my S to the stupid session that the idiots from CMU ran to further torture the kids, in very small print on the screen it did say that WL admissions may not be need blind. Sorry to sound so bitter, but I am.
