Priority waitlist?

<p>What does this mean, for CMU?</p>

<p>i am wondering the same thing… i have been reading other people’s post and they talked about there being a priority waitlist and then the regular waitlist…</p>

<p>Priority Waitlist - If there are seats available by 7th May, you will be one of the first people to be offered admission. And you will get your decision by 7th/8th May. Also you will have to accept it in 24 hours and pay the $800 deposit. </p>

<p>Regular Waitlist - If there are any seats available after all the priority waitlists are done, then you will be offered admission. Your decision can come anytime between May 15- June 1. And unlike priority, you don’t have to go even if you get in.</p>
