This is a standard operating procedure and does not mean anything in terms of admission OR rejection. I know this because I used to make those calls. The callers are literally given a list of applicants who have, at some point, demonstrated interest in CMU (usually by applying, though sometimes attending an info session can also put you on the list) and they are student employees at the admissions office who are supposed to call and ask questions. They are not writing down the answers or reporting the outcome of the call to anyone. It is just to give the call-ee more information about CMU if s/he wants to know anything.
