<p>Mango, we heard on the grapevine that this year, CMU only took two or three girls for MT, as special situations last year meant that certain slots were already filled. For instance, we heard that one girl who was admitted last year couldn’t come because she was involved (sadly) in that Minnesota bridge collapse. Another girl enrolled but got sick and had to leave, but thankfully is healthy again and can enroll in the fall. I also know that one lovely and talented young lady was offered admission from precollege last year.</p>
<p>We know one of the girls who got in and she is having to choose between CMU and another program…So, you D might get off the waitlist!
Good luck with it all!</p>
<p>My son got accepted into UCLA’s theatre program and waitlisted at CMU. He’s really confused and so are we. I think if he would have gotten in at the end of March he’d have picked CMU but we checked out UCLA, it seems great and moved forward with that decision. Then-We found out Friday he was on the priority waitlist. It is crazymaking.<br>
What are the chances of getting in?
Thoughts about making this decision?
thanks for any help</p>
<p>any news from anyone? does any one know the status of how many have accepted CMU’s offer?</p>
<p>Don’t know how many accepted but I know 1 person who declined the offer. Someone should be off the waitlist soon.</p>
<p>bettyboop, did a boy or a girl decline?</p>
<p>a girl…</p>
<p>anyone else waiting for cmu? we’ll all know soon!</p>
<p>I know for sure that at least one boy and one girl will not be attending CMU, they have already committed to other schools…so I’m sure spaces will open for those on the waitlist.</p>
<p>Blueroses:
Is the girl you know who did not accept at CMU an MT? Just curious, as my D is on priority wait for acting.</p>
<p>MangoLover, are you on wait for MT or acting, or possibly both?
Hope everyone hears good news next week!</p>
<p>Word on the “cyber” street is that a girl in MT definitely turned down CMU in favor of CCM - do not know if this is same person Blueroses1 knows about. Hope this helps!!!</p>
<p>Yes, she decided on CCM, mt as opposed to CMU, mt.</p>
<p>I believe there was a male acting student who chose Juilliard over CMU, and I think I read that actingmom’s D chose another school. So, some Wait List students will be very happy soon!</p>
<p>Thank you all for the info. Next week should be interesting.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what time CMU is supposed to call?</p>
<p>yes, I just got in Carnegie Mellon, and I’m definately planning to go. In fact, I also got into the Washington University in Saint Louis, but I’m not going there. Carnegie Mellon is one of the best engineering school, and I love the city. :)</p>
<p>jigobber…
I can see that you are new to College Confidential. Welcome and congratulations on your acceptance to CMU and also to WUSTL! That’s awesome. </p>
<p>You likely do not realize this but this forum is JUST for CMU’s drama and musical theater applicants and students and their familiies. </p>
<p>Here is the regular CMU forum on CC:</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/carnegie-mellon-university/[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/carnegie-mellon-university/</a></p>
<p>I thought I would also point this out…not just so you find the right forum for yourself…but also for all our MT and Acting pals on this thread…who are anxiously waiting to hear from CMU, to not think that someone who applied to CMU Drama Dept. heard from CMU today after reading your post. :D</p>
<p>more results are on Where Am I in the Process. Good luck</p>
<p>Hmm. How bright of the future engineer to post to the class of 2012 and not 2013!!! 09 plus 4 is 13, and for engineers, it is fives years, for class of 2014!</p>
<p>Mom4X…LOL…
But he probably got an 800 on the Math SAT! :D</p>
