Well. Hey I got something interesting in the mail on Wednesday May 4th. My financial aid package. Well I had misplaced my CMU admission ID number (as did hundreds of other students… which in my opinion, is a stupid method for students to access their admissions info since they would not give the ID number by email or by phone).

In the first week of April I faxed the admissions office asking for my ID number… it never came back by fax or by email. All I wanted to do was look at my financial aid package to consider the university! Now, May 4th I finally receive my financial aid package by mail, postmarked April 26th. Well… ain’t that just a tad bit late? I was pretty sure that confirmation of May 1st was the deposit deadline.

Well, I just thought I’d just state this to the CMU admissions office just so they could fix these problems. CMU didn’t give me enough financial aid anyway even with my Judith Resnick Scholarship of 16,000 dollars (at least compared with Tufts and Cornell).
