Yup

The Carnegie Mellon University Admission Committee has received your request to be added to the priority waitlist for admission for Fall 2024. We will make final decisions about waitlisted applicants no later than June 30, 2024, and those who are offered admission from the priority waitlist will be contacted by email.

sacred spoke
#

Not out

upbeat juniper
#

any word on udub waitlist? read that the commitment date for the first wave was like 2 days ago 😔

restive falcon
#

Why does CMU call it a “priority waitlist”? Doesn’t that imply the existence of a non-priority waitlist?

median mason
upbeat juniper
#

udub seattle mb should've clarified, very small chance of any movement but i just wanna hope 😭

restive falcon
#

it’s just a dumb name imo

#

Remember when all the influencers were predicting big UCB WL movement? lol

sacred spoke
#

A priority waitlist is a list of applicants who have a higher chance of being admitted than those on a regular waitlist if additional spots become available. Priority waitlists are usually smaller groups of applicants.

#

CMU scammed us

atomic whale
#

didnt everyone get priority

hearty vale
#

if i got off waitlist for michigan is it binding if i fill out the deposit

#

cuz im tryna wait for the cs decision

#

an am not cxertain i will attend if i dont get it

#

and it says that its gonna cmoe in april even though it should be 10 days i think its justa glitch?

dawn flare
reef kiln
#

So when do I get my rejection letter my cmu?

dawn flare
hybrid vortex
# sacred spoke CMU scammed us

cmu used to have two different waitlists: one was a “priority waitlist” that was binding if you got off (hence the name priority, think ED advantage) and a normal waitlist that was nonbinding and difficult as hell to get off of

#

they got rid of the binding waitlists to increase equity in the admissions process bc let’s be real who tf can commit to a school as expensive as cmu when they’re open about the fact that waitlisted students may not get adequate financial aid

#

so now it’s just one waitlist, but it still has the “priority” designation for whatever reason

#

also it’s worth noting for anyone else waiting on cmu waitlist notifs tonight: when i had to go through pre-screenings for my program they told me i would hear back abt whether i was chosen for an interview by december 15 and then didn’t tell me that they wanted me to interview until december 16 at 6:19pm lol

dawn flare
#

r we getting notifications today?

hybrid vortex
#

it said by june 30

dawn flare
#

yeah, but weekend updates are very very iffy

hybrid vortex
#

but i’m not getting my hopes up bc they didn’t tell me abt my interview until a day later than they said they would lol

dawn flare

oh interesting

hybrid vortex
# misty summit I hate bureaucracy

no bc why is everything so complicated w this shit… i never realized how annoying it is that schools won’t tell you why you got rejected until i interviewed with the head of my department at NYU and still didn’t get in

#

like just tell me why i wasn’t good enough?? you already say what you consider for admissions in your common data set, it’s not like you’re the CIA

celest orchid
#

bcuz it's holistic

#

like you can't say "oh your ecs weren't good enough" when you're comparing a math whiz to an internationally acclaimed writer

#

a lot of it is so subjective and varies from AO to AO that giving one specific reason would remove that subjectivity

#

because people would start saying "i got rejected from xyz because i didn't have enough awards" then everybody would hyperfocus on getting awards

hybrid vortex
#

sorry i wasn’t trying to start anything lol, i was just kinda venting a frustration

dawn flare

hybrid vortex
# golden root they emailed us and said they overenrolled

makes even more sense why CFA would be the only school accepting students then bc the programs are SUPERRRR small (the major i applied/interviewed/was waitlisted for only takes 4-8 people depending on the year) and they have to fill every program because of how expensive it is to run a fine arts college

hybrid vortex
# hot stone Would you go to cmu over usc?

probably not, it’d be a pretty difficult process atp. i’ve lived in pennsylvania my entire life so i’m ready to go where it’s sunny 90% of the year instead of grey, also cmu is insanely expensive and even more stingy w aid for waitlisted students so unless something insane happens and cmu offers me a lot of money i’m sticking with usc

hot stone

it’s really funny to think abt tho because i found out i got into usc/got waitlisted by cmu a few hours apart from each other and it’s insane to think about how much has changed in the last three months

but mine is one of the top top berk feeders

my school doesn’t feed anything loll

i really wanted to go berkeley so I could stay in the bay

#

but I guess la's fine too (the LA location, not the school, very very grateful and excited to go to UCLA)

UCLA is great bro wdym

this ucb rejection today means i either have uci wl or i'm going to CC

#

already doing CC summer classes so

#

it's great to be in all of your positions lol. i'd settle for purdue, UCLA, or USC any day.

restive falcon
#

and i know you're gonna be like "oh but berkeley is better for CS" and it's like...that really doesn't matter that much since UCLA and stuff are already good

fierce kettle
#

yeahh I mean compared to UCR it’s like wayyy better

restive falcon
#

college is really only to get you your first job or two, then the rest is experience. a better college might get you a better starting salary, but then you're on your own from there. someone who is good at what they do will easily be able to catch up.

#

in fact a school like UCLA might even be slightly better for CS because it has less of a reputation for grade deflation, so you can work on other things instead of just studying all the time

gaunt jay
#

i think a lot of the time we're so stuck about the idea of acceptance because it provides external validation that all our hard work in hs paid off

#

but even then no one rlly cares

sonic hollow
#

I was just talking about being more comfortable living in the bay rather than LA cuz I'm familiar with the area already

restive falcon
#

yeah no it took me a long fucking time to get over the fact that people who did less than me got better acceptances. it was tragic.

#

but like it really is just a high school clout thing and everyone at wherever you are going usually did similar things as you so it's like you're not alone

#

every campus has really smart kids who should've been somewhere "better" too

#

and especially when I found out that I got wl and my twin brother got in after that I wanted Berkeley even more and wanted to get off the waitlist even more

restive falcon
#

and also in life it feels like rich people always get things easier anyway so ig the sooner we get over that, the better acclimated we are to the real world

fierce kettle
#

That’s just how life works ig we always don’t get what we want but it’s okay as long as we see happiness in the things we have

restive falcon
#

i know a funny thing about my hs senior year is that a bunch of ppl were bragging about their acceptances because it was a tool for clout/popularity. one kid in particular was popular because he's one of the only ones who got into USC, but he's literally a sociology major. Someone going to a CSU for STEM is probably going to end up making more than he is,, but I guess he doesn't need to care because he's really rich anyway. just funny to brag about that when major is also a big consideration for admissions obviously.

# fierce kettle UCR

it's especially disappointing in your situation (the berk wl) when a sibling got in but that doesn't mean that you're "less than" and like ucr is still an incredible option - plus you have the ambition to apply to ucb so im sure that you will succeed and thrive at your current uni as well (even more because ucb is SO competitive)

fierce kettle
#

yah

gaunt jay
restive falcon
# fierce kettle UCR

also if you really hate it, might wanna look into transferring UCs since you guys are second highest priority after CA CCs (bearing in mind that CCs have relatively uncompetitive applicant pools, and they might be able to see you were WL rejected in the past). but i've seen a ton of people go to "lesser" UCs and after a year they end up loving it and can't imagine going anywhere else so.

#

especially for UCR, UCM, and UCSC ^

dawn flare
#

yea like for me, berkeley was just like so unreachably insane, i stopped even considering applying to it, and just decided to crapshoot it the day i was applying cuz why not, and getting waitlist was like one of the most excited and hopeful (and validated) ive ever felt after an incredibly brutal app process with 28 rejections and not getting into any uc other than ucm, so it closing rn is rly rly heartbreaking

fierce kettle

#

purdue is fucken awesome bro. i know ppl whose dream school is purdue. aside from the great rankings, it has great outcomes and happy students.

hearty vale
#

Purdue is great yeah

restive falcon
#

ultimately your happiness is the most important thing at college, and it's not really possible to tell if you'll be happy until you go, so embrace the awkward first classes and the crazy football games. if you hate it, you can transfer, but that's more of a step down the road at this point.

yeah, no shame in cc either other than wack ass hs clout that's out the window now. practically nobody who went ends up regretting it--whether it be because they get to stay local, their debt is nonexistent, or because the teachers actually like teaching and they make their classes easy and accessible.

restive falcon
# dawn flare yea, i rly try to feel that way, but its hard esp with my (incredibly judgementa...

trust me, i get it. i had a perfect GPA and tons of honors/APs/ECs/DE classes lol and now im at CC where the only requirement to enroll is a heartbeat. but don't let your brother's opinion tarnish your view of yourself. your school will not get in the way of your future (and in fact will only help you make it better). but it is still ultimately on you and not your school to make yourself succeed. like i said, there are smart people on every campus, and i'm confident you'll find them like magnets because you'll be bored of talking to everyone else ❤️

dawn flare
restive falcon
#

well it's never too late if you decide that purdue isn't for you--either now or in a year lol

#

but you'll be in good hands at purdue. besides, it seems like nobody outside of academic/a2c circles even knows much about uiuc or where it even is.

#

know that purdue actually has a higher avg starting salary

#

and it's a bit cheaper than uiuc

and the opinions people have on certain schools dont matter after some time too
