<p>Carnegie Mellon Admission,</p>
<p>When can one expect to hear about financial aid? also, when can we find it online? Thanks :)</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon Admission,</p>
<p>I have been accepted at a few other colleges. These colleges have a rule, where the sooner you send in the postcard saying that you are going to attend, the higher your ranking is for getting better housing. As of now, CMU is the only college left that I have not recieved a letter or online notification from. Do you know when the last batch of letters would be sent? Would it be appropriate for me to call the admissions and ask if I did, or did not get in?</p>
<p>Hello Carrera_GT,</p>
<p>Check on-line throughout the weekend and then call the Office of Admission on Monday if you still have not received your decision letter. Our letters, unfortunately, experienced a 3-4 day lag with the USPS so they are coming... As part of an Office policy, we do not discuss/release Admission decisions over the phone until after April 1. Wait until Monday and then give the office a call. ( I hope you receive you letter before that thought.) Good luck and thank you for your patience. Hang in there!</p>
<p>Lildude-ravi,
Financial Aid letters began going out about a week or so ago and are still being generated. I would encourage you to call the office of admission to make sure that we have received all of the information to come up with your package. A counselor can check all of that for you and can even tell you if your letter has been sent out. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Dear CMU Admission,
When do I get my financial aid package? It didn't come with my acceptance letter... ummmm i'm pretty sure i applied for financial aid, i did the FAFSA and CSS profile for sure and the application as well.... i need financial aid, big time. haha.</p>
<p>thanks,
ed</p>
<p>Are there any specific Open House Days planned in April for accepted students?</p>
<p>Dear CMU Admission,</p>
<p>When can students applying from Central American expect to receive their admissions decision? My sister says there is nothing on-line. Please let us know the approximate date that she should be expecting your decision. Thank you very much!</p>

<p>I remember there being an accepted students weekend in April two years ago when my S was admitted. He did a Sleeping Bag weekend at the same time so he could stay on campus overnight, (while I stayed in a hotel) and observed some classes. You could also set an appointment with a financial aid counselor and put your deposit down if you were ready to "take the plunge". I remember it being cold too!</p>
<p>This is a rather specific question, but is it worth taking the European History AP exam if i'm planning on majoring in Engineering? I already have a 5 on the US history test and wasn't quite clear on what type of credit is granted -- the website said it was elective credit, can you please explain how that works?</p>
<p>Yes, CMU's website does not have a direct AP policy, only that they will review our scores and tell us over the summer if we get credit. Is it safe to assume that if you scored 5s on several APs that you will place out of the equivalent college courses? For example Calc BC would take you out of the first Calculus class?</p>
<p>Seems to be some confusion surrounding this, can the rep clear it up?</p>
<p>Does carnegie mellon look at a prospective student's high school freshman year grades during the admission process?</p>
<p>CMU Admission,</p>
<p>I was rejected from Tepper but accepted to HSS. Even though Tepper was my first choice, I fully understand the prestige that HSS holds as well, and as of now it's my first choice (I'll be visiting April 19th). Can you please discuss the possibility of an internal transfer where I could double major between Tepper and HSS? Thank you.</p>
<p>CMU Admission,</p>
<p>I was placed on the waitlist for ECE but accepted to other departments in CIT. I am just wondering, what is the chance of getting admitted into ECE if I was only placed on the normal waitlist. And also, would it increase my chances of admission if I ask the IB coordinator to forward my current IB transcript which is approximately 2 marks higher than the one she previously sent in for the mid-year report? Thank you.</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted to the Art Department, but not to the Design program which was her first choice. We have read the information regarding the difficulty of transferring into Design and that there is no guarantee even if she is a student there. </p>
<p>How difficult is it? What are the chances? She is trying to decide whether to pursue this now or try again later at the graduate level.</p>
<p>There are several different ways that we treat the wait list for SCS. For more specific information, please call the Office of Admission (I am out of the office right now) but I am sure that any of the counselors would be happy to help you!</p>
<p>Hello Ed,</p>
<p>If you still haven't received your financial aid package yet, please contact the Office of Admission so a counselor can verify that all your documents are complete and then we will also be able to give you a mail date for your letter or at least push the package through to the committee faster.</p>
<p>thank you for your question!</p>
<p>Hopefully you have received your official decision letter in the mail by now or at least were able to view the decision on "Where Am I in the Process". If you are still wondering about your Admission decision, definitely call the Office of Admission and a Counselor can definitely provide you with any updates/information. Best of luck!</p>
<p>YES, There are a TON of activities that are held in April. Please visit the "Now that I am Admitted" web site listed in Fat Letter or please call the Office of Admission (using the 1-800) number. Any counselor would be happy to help you register for the events.</p>
<p>Good luck!!</p>

<p>While we do look at the Freshman year grades, we typically recalculate their gpa and examine grade trends using 10th, 11th and mid-year 12th academic record. In some cases we will weigh freshman grades more heavily when looking at special circumstances (health issues, drop off or increase in grades, etc.)</p>
