PWL: Now that it's past May 01.....

<p>does anybody have info on the number of students who will be called from the Priority Waitlist?</p>

<p>There was some rumor the other day that a "cross coach" (?) was overheard saying that enrollment was higher than anticipated, but the post sounded unreliable.</p>

<p>I also heard that few (or even none) will be called from the waitlist but the rumor could've came from the same person and thus be unreliable as well.</p>

<p>Ack. That's a bit worrying.</p>

<p>wait i heard that rumor too from that guy who met the cross coach
but was he referring to HSS or in general</p>

<p>****........</p>

<p>DGB and others, don't sweat it. I will bet that some will be called due to CMU's $34,000 price tag.</p>

<p>what happens if you dont get in after the pwl deadline on the 4th/6th? do they reject you flat out or just move you to regular wl or keep you on pwl for longer?</p>

<p>If you are not accepted on PWL, you are automatically moved to the regular wait list.</p>

<p>I fear that this is true now. I'm on the priority waitlist for both MCS and Eng. and apparently CMU called my school (Shady Side Academy - in Pittsburgh), and talked my counselor, saying that enrollment has been filled and no one will be admitted off the wait list.</p>

<p>I think I have **** my pants. Well, Pitt, here I come [if it's true].</p>

<p>My apologies Biggie but at least you'll be in Pittsburgh.</p>

<p>Yes, I still have a couple of friends going to both CMU and Pitt. I can visit either as I like, I suppose.</p>

<p>omg great. pwl is shot to hell? omg am i going to purdue?!</p>

<p>bigsized</p>

<p>is it just for your major??
or the whole school...
in a few hours the decisions will be made and omg i hope there is any point in waiting</p>

<p>I might be in some sort of denial phase but it just doesn't make sense that past several years an acceptance rate of atleast 50% for priority waitlisted students is seen, and then this year 0%, I just doubt the possibility of that. Plus when I went to Pittsburgh during the Information Session for the waitlisted students, the admissions people seemed encouraging in that many students would be taken off the priority waitlist. I guess we'll all find out in about 6 hours.</p>

<p>yep, 5-9 PM coming up soon. Good luck to all!</p>

<p>i am effing s***ing myself</p>

<p>What does FAX 1 document under the Admission Documents Received tab on the online display mean?</p>

<p>Lol.....i'm not even on the pwl, i'm on the regular waitlist. But i got accepted to my second choice college at cmu, and i wrote a letter to them explaining, among other things, that admitting me off the wait list won't increase enrollment (as i enrolled at cmu anyways).</p>

<p>Gyahhhh....i'm not a patient person....</p>

<p>tell me about it, god I so hope that kid's guidance counselor had a wierd dream and the cross coach was drunk..</p>
