Official Priority Wait-list Thread

<p>To talk about the priority wait-list.</p>

<p>Woo, I'm officially on the list as of today. My Where am I in the process? page says they received by priority wait-list reply today.</p>

<p>they received mine as well :)</p>

<p>I’m on the list as well…</p>

<p>Me too :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Yup, I’m also on the list. What do you think the chances will be like this year?</p>

<p>Quite a few students inquired about our Waiting List statistics on my last blog entry. Because admitted students are not required to submit their enrollment deposits before May 1, 2009, there is no way for us to forecast how many spaces will be available in each college until after May 1st.</p>

<p>Depending on the number of students who choose to enroll in Carnegie Mellon, we may or may not have space available. The number of spaces available is also different for each college at Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>It’s possible that we may admit students from the Waiting List in CIT and H&SS, but not the other colleges. In some years, there might be space available in all of the colleges or maybe just one college.</p>

<p>I guess they admitted less students in CIT looking at the higher than expected yield last year. However with the financial crisis…i suspect they expect their yield to return to normal, hence the assumption in the blog.</p>

<p>Hm. They never said anything about SCS - that should be just about the hardest to get in right? I hope they are not overenrolled and end up taking no one off the wait-list =(</p>

<p>Last year some did get into SCS. So don’t worry.
Besides, your hopes are not alone :)</p>
