So a notification was just sent and it seems like that CMU will not be using the waitlist this year… Isn’t this very unusual? I was under the impression that they would at least go to their priority waitlist to make decisions. Isn’t the yield for CMU pretty low every year? I was priority waitlisted at CIT for every major other than Computer Engineering, which was my intended major.
We received the same @1:46pm. It is indeed unusual… Priority wait listed for CIT and Tepper Business school
I am not sure why they asked for reconfirmation if they are not going to accept even a single one from the priority wait list. Probably they sent the email before even tallying the total number of accepted students.
If there’s anything positive to get out of this unexpected circumstance, it’s that we can finally relieve ourselves of any lingering concerns and move on with our lives. Yeah, it was false hope, but it’s now their problem and not ours given that we made our deposits to other universities.
My waitlist rejection letter (on “where i am in the process”) said something about sending in a slip in case space becomes available in the summer. I’m assuming that this is just more false hope, so I probably won’t send in the slip. Any thoughts ?
@WannaBeCeo Yeah I wouldn’t even bother. Just forget about CMU, man. When you’re older and more successful as a CEO 
than many CMU graduates, just laugh about it then! And hey, if it really matters, consider grad school. They don’t even deserve you, just fall in love with whatever school you’re attending (as I am trying to do as well). Best of luck!
