a goated school thst doesn't have dookie weather 💜

dreamy dagger
#

past years have been anywhere close to 200 to 30

#

also those 30 people have to be someone

#

ALSO if ur priority™️ that lowers the pool a ton too

lavish lichen
#

I was priority yesterday but now it's gone so that makes me think it's even MORE over

#

cost wise too, hmc gave me a $90k grant and cmu would probably be 2x the cost for a marginally more prestigious experience

#

I fear I'm talking myself into the reject option

steel gulch
#

fwiw one of my friends got off the cmu waitlist last year and she has a full-tuition scholarship here so if you were able to get that from hmc i would say you probably have a chance

lavish lichen
#

for real? npc said cmu would be like $20k/yr 💔

dreamy dagger
#

don't be overly hopeful

#

move on and if you get in, pleasant surprise!

#

but don't throw away a chance just cuz

#

kinda a balance thing

#

you gotta be realistic in knowing the chances are slim, but also objective enough to take the slim chance anyways

whole cloud
#

wait for wl

#

do they care abt our snr 2nd semester grades

#

am i fucked if my grades are the shittest in my entire 18 yrs of life

#

oh fuck?

#

Sigh waitlisted

fading jasper
#

Did everyone just get waitlisted

#

Does this normally happen

reef fern
#

For cmu, waitlist ~= soft reject

lavish lichen

#

Does cmu have priority waitlist

#

Or no

hallow bear
static cedar
dreamy dagger
#

But we don’t know what it means

#

I got it but it’s really confusing

#

I’m gonna ask admissions tmr for more info

loud stream
#

o

fallen fiber
#

i havent done anything in school other than failing classes

static cedar
dreamy dagger
#

Surely one of us here gets off waitlist

glass smelt
#

if we get off the waitlist we don’t get our deposit back from another college right

dreamy dagger
#

Depending on where you go it’s around 500 iirc? It’s bad but not crazy

#

The point of the enrollment deposit is to make it annoying to leave

glass smelt
#

did u write ur 300 word thing yet

dreamy dagger
#

I didn’t write 300 but I kept it short and direct

loud stream
#

i want to write one but i just cant be asked

#

havent done anything that imporrtant

dreamy dagger
#

Write it and just say CMU is your top choice

#

Things like that

grave shale
#

is it okay if i don't fill out the waitlist form until close to the end of april

#

i have some updates that i could give then that are in progress rn

dreamy dagger
#

loud stream
#

It was priority and now it’s normal

#

It’s over

jaunty cobalt
#

Did u accept the offer yet

dreamy dagger
#

Mine still says priority in my letter

#

I’m asking tmr what it means

#

I’ll keep updated

green vigil
#

do you have to request

#

to be added to priority waitlist

plucky kelp
#

Did they give priority waitlist for everyone at first and then just get rid of it

#

Or were there some ppl that were actually just normal waitlisted

#

When decisions first came out

scenic kettle
mellow cloak
#

maybe priority goes to ED applicants?

hallow bear
scenic kettle
#

oh engineering

hallow bear

added myself to the waitlist, unf now i have to find my to-be dream school 🙏

dreamy dagger
#

i just kept it short and simple, i've demonstrated my dedication with my ED, performance, and summer program and look forward to future communications

#

you gotta be strong and short with it, maybe a little assertive too

mellow cloak
#

i mean I feel like that’s covered in the why us essay

dreamy dagger
#

yeah i didn't

#

they already know

#

thats why im on the waitlist

#

xD

craggy ibex
#

merry steppe
harsh hornet
#

did anyone get financial aid packages yet?

dreamy dagger
#

Just got off the phone

#

Priority and normal waitlist are mostly the same

#

But priority indicates you intend to go when admitted(non binding)

#

This may or may not have an impact on admittance, they didn’t say. Leaned towards no tho with their responses

#

They said “not necessarily” but maybe

mild galleon
#

they told me there’s no two seperate waitliste

#

also if you filled out the form

#

you’re on priority

dreamy dagger
dreamy dagger
mild galleon
#

idk man

#

i give up

dreamy dagger
#

They told me priority and normal waitlist applicants are considered equally

mild galleon
#

the school contradicts itself

#

way too often

echo vault
#

Real

tawdry hull
#

Then what’s the difference 😭

lilac ridge
#

has anyone replied to CMU waitlist form

#

mellow cloak
#

dreamy dagger
#

Whether or not this helps was not explained

#

Just “not necessarily”

static cedar
#

i also did the mistake

#

there is no priority waitlist

#

dreamy dagger
#

Some people screenshotted their post submit letters

#

No priority

static cedar

#

serene steeple
#

did anyone get rejected from cmu

#

or was it all waitlist

slow sage
# olive wyvern cs isnt cis lol

I think there is a significant overlap in technical aspects between them, such as MySQL, because cs itself is a broad field.

With ferpa

But they burn it metaphorically so they can remain a secret

I got Finaid back too I think it’s doable if I negotiate a little bit

crisp elk

I'd go in debt for this school

copper chasm

I got 33k in aid

So

#

Not atrocious

crisp elk
#

Lemme see

Should I even bother with a LOCI/waitlist?

Though I was first deferred and am now waitlisted, I remain absolutely convinced that CMU is where I belong, and I’m grateful for this opportunity.

Carnegie Mellon has always been my first choice, and if admitted from the waitlist, I will enroll.

#

Has anyone gotten their financial aid back yet?

mild galleon
#

u guys when commuting should tell them to accept me off the waitlist

mild galleon
#

they don’t said an email apparently

sharp shard
#

My financial aid status says complete, as in no documents are needed, but for my actual financial aid offer section, it says "We have not yet received your financial aid application or we do not have enough information to provide you with a financial aid offer at this time. If you feel that you are receiving this message in error, please contact Office of Undergraduate Admission at admission@andrew.cmu.edu"

mild galleon
#

maybe contact the office

sharp shard
#

Or is just knowing my email and name enough?

Hi all. For CMU I applied to SCS and was waitlisted. Can I request my major to be changed to Stats + ML or smth like that and submit an appeal.

crisp elk
#

probably not...

random apex
#

anyone have tips for cmu's waitlist essay?

mild galleon
#

it’s an update, focus on things you’ve done recently :-)

does CMU have priority waitlist? also for their waitlist should one write it like a LOCI or focus just on updates?

oooo i see a theme woah

#

To double check, is the stats and ml major in the Dietrich College restricted in any way? Like if I'm in the Dietrich College can I just declare that major and start taking courses?

high ocean
#

I thought CMU accepted LOCI so I didn't add all the information onto my uh waitlist reply statement what ever so am I cooked or can I still email them about it

hoary zealot
#

What did your admission letter say?

supple forge
#

did anyone else get a call from a prof

lyric iris
# hoary zealot I'm pretty sure that's the case

Just that they were pleased to offer me admission to the Dietrich College and then general admitted student stuff (restricted majors is like, one of two last possible things stopping me from committing right this second lol) (the other thing is if I visit and for whatever reason absolutely despise the people/campus, which I doubt will happen)

is there anything i can do to demonstrate interest and boost my chances of getting off the waitlist if i visit campus

stable prairie
#

100% will help

#

nah but it’s all out of ur control now, cmu does not account for demonstrated interest nor do they read LOCI

For CMU they will only admit you if someone with your literal exact profile declines an admission offer

#

they have a massive waitlist for a reason

grave shale
#

we goin to uiuc chat

crisp elk
#

Evidence?

river tide
# crisp elk ????

CMU has one of the lowest waitlist acceptance rates of any university and that is the typical strategy top universities use for waitlist admissions anyways

crisp elk
#

I mean

#

You can't say that like fact

river tide
#

Its factual that nothing you can do is going to make a big change in your chances of getting off some waitlists

can some data science violin player drop cmu🙏

maybe its time to go through the cmu 2029 insta and murder remove someone from cmu 🙂

crisp elk

#

😭

#

The literal exact profile part is an exaggeration but they do look for people who are very similar

crisp elk

I just dislike it when someone says something unverifiable as fact

It just makes the already confusing process more confusing

Please note that although you have received a financial aid offer, this is not an offer of admission. We are providing this offer because we understand that financial aid is an important aspect of your enrollment decision, and we want to ensure that you have all of the information needed to weigh that decision if you were to be offered a spot in our Class of 2029+ from the waiting list. To better understand your financial aid offer, please visit our website.

i do have some 2025 summer fin aid application but eh

im guessinggggg (GUESSING) that they sent the email for you to check and help you make a decision
