<p>Hi everyone! I never thought I'd need to join this community myself; someone or the other almost ALWAYS had a similar question on the site that had been resolved, but that was until tonight...
I am in a weird situation at the moment and REALLY need good advice.</p>
<p>Okay, so here's how it is. I applied to three colleges at CMU and have been put on the waitlist for ALL 3
I bet this has to do with my SAT scores (*CR 610, Math 730, Writing 680) & (Math II 800, Physics 760).
Now, the CMU site says that I will get a "Waitlist reply slip" to which, if I reply back, I'd be "reconsidered".
Q1. I still haven't got the slip. Should I be worried?</p>
<p>It also said that I can send in some "extra material".</p>
<p>Q2. What qualifies as "extra material" at THIS stage? Do they want me to send them some recordings or something like that?</p>
<p>It also said something about qualifications.</p>
<p>Q3. I took the TOEFL on 24th January, '09 and I did quite well (114/120 on the iBT). I know they said SAT OR TOEFL, but should I send them the TOEFL scores anyway? Will it increase my chances in ANYWAY?</p>
<p>Carnegie has always been a dream-school for me. Ah, well. But here's how <em>I</em> look at it. Waitlisted>DIRECT REJECTION, so yeah :P</p>
<p>Sorry if this is too long guys; I beg you to bear with it.</p>
<p>*I am good at english; just not familiar with the SAT format >_<</p>
