<p>I was there last week and one of the admissions directors said they would start sending the letters out next week. She didnt specify when next week though.</p>
<p>That is a lot earlier than most people are expecting.</p>
<p>is it possible that these emails and phone calls may be based on major and school that you applied to?</p>
<p>hm... next week.. well makes sense though, since some people said they will notify between march 15th to april 15th, so they 'start' sending out next week sounds reasonable</p>
<p>Are all the decisions sent out together or is it as they finish your application?</p>
<p>well.. i doubt they can send 15,000 letters altogether.. they probably send them over a few weeks..</p>
<p>Plenty of schools send 15,000+ decisions out all at once. I don't see why Carnegie Mellon can't do it. And I asked my friend's sister about it again, and she told me we're supposedly getting decisions March 18, not 28. AHHH!</p>
<p>sarah, that is consistent with what DonKedar said so that may be right.</p>
<p>CMU releases its decisions in batches starting from next week till mid-April.</p>
<p>"There are "likely" phone calls"</p>
<p>Any info on these? I got a call from a student in the architecture school and talked to him for like 20 minutes... that mean anything?</p>
<p>I called today and the lady said they'll start sending them out March 22nd until they are all sent out.</p>
<p>"Any info on these? I got a call from a student in the architecture school and talked to him for like 20 minutes... that mean anything?"</p>
<p>No. Usually they do this to URMs. They call you and say something like "I've been reviewing your file and things are looking good for you. Did you have a chance to come visit? etc. etc etc. ". Then they invite you to some URM thingy and ask you about your interests, etc.</p>
<p>Yes, I they will start sending out admission notices on April 22. My only question is that with a $75 application fee, and 18,000 applications, why didn't CMU hire more admission people to expedite the process?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure they will send out decisions BEFORE April 22. (I would guess March 18th-24th). </p>
<p>Cornell, one of our closest peers, is sending their decisions out March 30th. Quote "28,000 applications for 3,000 freshman spots were received this year - will be mailed "fat envelopes" on March 30"</p>
<p>Note: We have 18,000+ apps for 1300-1400 spots.</p>
<p>Cornell has to abide by the common ivy group agreement which means they CAN'T send out decisions before march 30th</p>
<p>The point is that other colleges have it worse.</p>
<p>Thanks for clearing that up acceptedtocollegealready, i figured that it wasn't anything, but hey.. i might as well ask</p>
<p>Does CMU tell you when they send out the decision letters on the "Where Am I in the process" under Documnets sent section?</p>
<p>It shows up online usually 3 days after they send out the letter.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to stoneterrain's question? I would really like to know the answer to this as well.</p>
<p>as lildude ravi stated, the decision will show up on the website usually a few days after your actual letter is sent out via mail.</p>
