Yes - but for a different major.

At first I was excited because I thought that they wouldn’t send an email about a program to a student who already applied if they weren’t somewhat interested in the program. Then, I saw your post, and I thought “oh it must be a generic style letter that they send to everyone who applied.” Of course there is always the chance that they only sent the letter to people who were decent candidates for admissions - otherwise, it seems kind of cruel too. Unfortunately, this thread does not seem active enough to get a good sampling of opinions.

yeah and i feel like college confidential is also a self selecting group so we’re more likely to get an email if it was only sent to “decent” applicants. i dont think this is significant tho seems really generic

Is there an RD notification date?

16

I saw something on instagram today that said: "Big announcement coming soon! We’ll keep you ‘posted’ . . . " with a photo of a post. Who knows when coming soon means!

Decision release date is coming out soon. Historically, RD has been 3/20-3/28, so they’ll probably confirm the date soon.

Haven’t heard any definitive date(s) for this year. Last year, some accepted BFA-MT students received phone calls from CMU on 3/3/23. Wait listed and declined students received emails on 3/4/23. The prior year, CMU notified accepted students via phone calls on 3/2/22, with emails to wait listed and declined students sent on 3/3/22. So, the school is running a bit later this year vis-à-vis the last two years and one can only guess at this point. The CMU Instagram post a couple of day ago sure was a tease. :wink:
