what daaa?? the application status is confusing

<p>Yeah, since January 1st, I’ve only received automated responses from CMU’s admissions office.</p>

<p>Hopefully they have everything filed properly and they’re just bad about updating the web site.
Hopefully…</p>

<p>The “Folder Pulled committee read” line showed up today.
I hope the folder is more up to date than the online status.
<em>sigh</em></p>

<p>Although S applied in early December, some items still appear to be missing. He called and everything is there so he can relax. At a visit they said they had had a really big surge of applications and their system seems to be struggling with the overload. However, they are the nicest people on the phone so just go ahead and call…</p>

<p>fineartsmajormom: You are absolutely right.
They were very nice and confirmed his application is complete.
4/15 seems sooooooo far away!</p>

<p>^ Small consolation prize for you, last year DD got her decision on March 24, a little bit ahead of schedule. But be warned, they released decision in waves, some people got their decisions weeks later.</p>

<p>I’m just happy the app is complete.
DS has decisions due February through April.</p>

<p>After the phone call they posted the missing transcript, teacher recs and counselor form to the status site.
All is well!</p>

<p>Can a parent call or does the kid have to??</p>

<p>I called for DS. They asked basic info like birthdate and zip code. I had his CMU admission ID# too but they didn’t need it. They were very nice and helpful.</p>

<p>Finally realize that two of my teacher recs did not reach CMU by calling them. This is troubling me: gotta find a way to have the recs faxed, while it’s a long holiday here in Hong Kong now.</p>

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I realized that on the “Where am I in the process” website, they did not list any interview report, even though I had my alumni interview a few weeks ago (nearly a month). Just wondering if it is supposed to be listed on the website.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Uh oh… my son’s status shows a missing “School Report Form”. What is that?</p>

<p>Could be the HS transcript…you could call the office and ask just to make sure and have your school fax it over.</p>

<p>My son’s list shows HS transcript received. I guess we’ll need to call tomorrow and ask about “School Report Form”, since it was flagged as missing. (Our high school does Common App as online for students, but hardcopy for school portion… .perhaps that causes some kind of snafu.)</p>

<p>Everything sent through mail were LOST for me. Had to fax them finally. CMU Admission Office is… a little messy?</p>

<p>My son thinks that “School Report Form” = copy of 1st semester grades.</p>

<p>Yes, if they have received it, it should be listed on the website.</p>

<p>I have a problem… im positive that they have received everything that they require, as they listed on the “Where am i in the process” list for me, including transcript, mid-year grades, teacher recs, and official sat 1 and 2 scores. but it still does not say that my application is complete. anyone else have the same problem?</p>
