| I was priority waitlisted! I knew I was waitlisted because the website said so, but I didn't get my letter until today! So I sent the reply form in from the post office so it will go out today! | |

| My daughter got a letter today that gave her a choice of priority or regular waitlist for MT. She is waiting to hear which Tisch studio she gets into before responding so quickly. Then it might be
a tough decision. | |

| From what I understand, you may not get as good of finanial package off the waitlist because you would be enrolling so much later. | |

| Actually, I already have my financial aid package. They send everyone on the waitlist their financial aid package also. Actually, my financial aid letter somehow got to my house before my priority waitlist letter!
Funny how the mail system works.... | |

| Millie_Chittick - Wow, that's great to hear. My son also got waitlisted at CMU and we have not received a financal package yet. Didn't know we would. I'll be watching the mailbox now.
What are your other choices if CMU doesn't work out? | |

| Being a senior MT at CMU who was actuallly on the wait list, I know what all of you are going through!!! I wish you all the best of luck! While you are waiting, I want to let you know of a great opportunity to listen to some current CMU MTs. If you go to http://cmu.edu/cfa/drama/fusion you can listen to a few tracks. They are all either junior or Senior MT students. The composer and lyricist of this music are also both current CMU students. Enjoy and again, good luck! | |

| Elvis, I don't quite understand your question. I would imagine finanical aid applications had deadlines that had to be met and are past but do find out. FAFSA deadlines surely are past. Are you on the PRIORITY waitlist? Because if you are, then you had to sign a form that agreed to IF you were given an offer, you'd have to enroll with a deposit within 24 hours...that is a stipulation for being on the PRIORITY waitlist vs. the regular waitlist. I say this from experience as I have a D who was on the Priority Waitlist at CMU last year.
It isn't an issue with regard to whether they'd accept you or not depending if you applied for FA or not....but what IS an issue is that if they accept you off the waitlist, you'd have to be prepared to say yay or nay and you would not be able to do so if you did not have your financial aid package in your hands. I am also confused by your post because when my D was told about being on the Priority Waitlist, she also received her finanicial aid package/scholarships, etc. as that was needed by any student in such a status. The package was in our hands so that if she was given an offer, we could make an informed decision as to whether she'd attend.
Please do not rely on this message board for such an important question. If you are on the waitlist, you should have had a financial aid package in your hands by now. If you haven't even applied for financial aid, you would need to find out if it is not too late to file the forms. Please ask CMU these questions. Are you on the Priority Waitlist I assume?
PS....earlier you asked about if the FA packages are as good for those on the waitlist.....I think the package is the same as the student would have received if outright admitted because they use a need based formula. The package my D received, we felt was very good from CMU as a Priority Waitlist student. | |
