this really doesn’t belong on a Webster thread.

Oh? 5pants mentioned checking on your requirements and don’t let things sit. Not once did I mention Carnegie-Mellon.

I hope others will learn from your experience, the importance of calling all of one’s schools about a month after all application materials are sent to determine if their file is complete.

Which is why I mentioned it. Why is it OK for you to bring it up but not me?

it is the applicant’s responsibility to check if their file is complete.

As I mentioned in the other board, we called several times and were told everything was received and in good order.

The lesson is to be the one who takes control and checks on everything and also keeps extensive notes, charts and files of every aspect of this process.

Well, to quote YOU from the other board:

I really hope that CMU can get this part of their act together because this is NOT an isolated incident. I feel like I have heard something of this nature (with variety) more often than smooth sailing for applicants to CMU’s pre college and BFA programs.

As I said, we called, we checked, they told us everything was fine and sit tight. We did our part. Please don’t blame us.
