Carnegie Mellon Class of 2028 Official Thread

Today, We were able to register for the 4/7 Tartan Day.

Yeah, my son could register for a tartan day, too. Hmm, maybe they haven’t fixed it yet? (Still no update on son’s portal.)

It’s letting us register for only March date not April

Can’t register

Hmm, this is probably stating the obvious, but did you click/tap on “next” to get to next month?

Can you see the calendar with Tartan Days in April? (I don’t see any in March)

Yeah, I see. But can’t register for any of those days.

Actually? That might be a good sign as I cant even register lol. It just says, “If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact the Office of Admission at 412.268.2082.” After i click on a day

Same here, same message. I was able to register day before yesterday but now it’s showing the message. Are people able to register today as well?

We are able to register. It’s little convoluted but what happens is

Decision letter (you are already logged in to portal) → https://www.cmu.edu/admission/admitted/visit-opportunities#calendar → click Turn Tartan Days → takes you back to a registration form inside portal

I think only admitted ones can register for Tartan days now after the fix. Last Friday anyone could registered.

Why not ask their smart students to help them fix this tech issue? :rofl:

I hope that’s the case because we are the same message you got.

If this was a problem I was encountering in my workplace, I’d be rolling out during business hours so that the people I need are around to troubleshoot and get the process get back on track if it goes off the rails. This insistence on doing it after business hours have closed for the day (presumably so they don’t have to field upset calls from people who don’t like their result) is just silly given the problems here. Just turn your phones off and don’t answer them if that’s the only thing keeping you from doing this right. Sheesh.

Called tel:412.268.2082 just now and the person said “They are still having technical issues. It is a new system and they are trying to figure it all out.” They will start releasing on Friday at 5 PM. It was confirmed once again that there is no pattern.

It is mind-boggling for sure. In the era of AI, the FAFSA portal was a disaster, and now CMU, one of the most highly recognized CS schools, can’t get this right???
