<p>btw, just wondering....what is a troll? and how did everyone know that one poster was a troll??</p>
<p>[Troll</a> (Internet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet%5DTroll">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet))</p>
<p>because the person joined cc just so they could post that one message.</p>
<p>so I'm pretty much just procrastinating studying for my ap compsci exam tomorrow... but I thought I'd share some info</p>
<p>I applied to AP/EA around mid-March. I thought my diversity essay was really good and my other one was mediocre. My grades and SATs are pretty good - I'm in the top 1.5% of my class of around 1000. ummm and I'm asian and middle class.</p>
<p>so I stored the number in my phone and called during my lunch.</p>
<p>verdict? rejected. but I'm cool with it - I have some other stuff lined up.</p>
<p>and fyi... I really don't think they check that email. I tried to email them a couple times and they NEVER answered back. in fact, they never answered when I left a voicemail either. pretty much the only way to contact them is to get an actual human being on the phone. and even then... this morning they put me on hold for like twenty minutes and then told me they'd call me back... which they didn't. so that's why I called them myself during lunch.</p>
<p>the end :)</p>
<p>good luck to the rest of you! and the lady did say that we should be getting letters this week since they were mailed last friday...</p>
<p>^^r u serious they didnt email u back i srry but these people r rude they act as if their are the only college summer program that is out there they r going to lose out on a lot of good students because they took too long with these letters... </p>
<p>i guess the waiting has finally made me crack cause i am really disappointed in this college they r giving unreliable information- one minute they said they sent it last week the next thing they say they did even send it yet this is getting on my nerves</p>

<p>surprisingly there are a lot of mt people there :) </p>
<p>to make myself defended for the rejection letter / call / email that i'll be getting, i wrote up a list of what I want to do for this summer. now that I get CMU out of the picture, there is a whole lot that I really wanted to do! (ie: plan for a LOW-cost backpacking trip to Europe next summer). i think rejection is how we take it as. it just might be another opportunity for other things that i might have missed out on!</p>
<p>so keep hoping, but think, it's a win-win situation where there is really not much to lose! :)
good luck!</p>
<p>i called in and i was...</p>
<p>waitlisted... its funny because the main reason i called was that i couldn't take the wait any more. Oh well, murphey's law in action i guess. Does anybody know how hard it is to get off the waitlist? i asked the counselor that i was transferred to, but he said he couldn't give me any hard data. What can i do to improve my chances of actually getting in?</p>
<p>oh and btw, i was nearly shaking from nervousness by the time I called, but it really wasn't that bad. i suggest ya'll give it a shot. GL!</p>
<p>sababy993-- er... the general agreement (excepting the troll(?)) is that cmu DID send out letters late last week, so they should be arriving soon. also, there is no evidence that "they act as if their are the only college summer program that is out there". please don't jump to conclusions so quickly.</p>
<p>bustofPallas-- ? it sounds like your stats are better than mine. i go to a public school and i'm not even sure i make top 5% of the class (so many Bs bringing down my GPA...). i'm sorry to hear about your rejection, but i like your (you and mistofolis's) mentality. good luck with your summer plans!</p>
<p>i called and i am on the waitlist i think i should start appling for a job the wait is going to kill me</p>
<p>here's mom again...my son was rejected...he had killer essays..good stats..minority...</p>
<p>I called today again and the lady said my decision was made today itself; I got accepted to the AP/EA program.</p>
<p>Called in early today and got waitlisted. Lady I talked to said that enrollment for those accepted ends in three weeks then they will go to the waiting list.</p>
<p>i wonder if theyre going to take any more asians</p>
<p>^^ lol i hope they would let more (if any) Africans in</p>
<p>haha...i just can't win.</p>
<p>So I finally muster up the courage to call. When I do, some lazy,lethargic,sleeping-sounding lady answers the phone and tells me that: "decisions were mailed last thursday and friday, so you should receive your decisions any day now..."</p>
<p>ah well, so the wait continues for me. Congrats to those of you who were accepted. Good luck to those of you who were waitlisted. And to those of you rejected, I hope you still enjoy your summer to the fullest...</p>
<p>^ LOL, i talked to that lady yesterday. her voice reminds me of the slug from monsters inc. i nearly choked from suspense when she put me on hold to pull up my decision.</p>

<p>YES!!!!! That is exactly who she sounded like...lol!</p>
<p>I'm on the phone like: "does this lady hate her job or what?"</p>
<p>^ lol i got that lady too. i called in today, and someone there told me i've been accepted and that my letter is already in the mail. hopefully they didn't make a mistake.</p>
<p>congrats hpa10.</p>
<p>i really want to get of the waitlist and really want to go, but basically i have a huge predicament. if it is actually going to be three weeks before they start taking people off of the waitlist, then i'm screwing my family over if i hold out for the program. my parents are planning a trip to go visit my brother in washington before he gets deployed to iraq, and they don't know whether to plan for me to go as well. additionally, even if i am accepted, i will have less than a month to secure a plane ticket (i live in AZ). This is why i really wish cmu didn't extend the application period as long as they did, but that is irrelevent now. any suggestions?</p>
<p>wow, congrats hpa10. What program were you accepted to?</p>
<p>bco09 i know what u mean my family is planning a trip back to nigeria and we have been waiting for months to see if i accepted so we will know when to book the tickets
that is the main reason i am really mad for the long wait </p>
<p>also congrats for all the people who got in i hope i'll be there with u</p>
