<p>I just called the office of admissions at CMU. The woman said that they are going to send ALL the letters out tomorrow(12/15). Decision will be posted online three days after the letters are out (12/18). I believe most of u guys will get the letter on Saturday 12/17. Be patient and relax. Good luck to you all!!! </p>
<p>R U SERIOUS???
I did not call but i emailed the admission office and he said that all the mail was sent on Monday night/Tuesday morning…whats wrong??</p>
<p>they mail them in seperate batches, so don’t worry. i remember this time of year when everyone applied… just breathe and stop worrying about everything. you’ll know soon enough. even if you dont get in EDI, theres always re-evaluation/regular decision… its not so bad. and plus, im sure all of you have fall finals, so focus focus focus!! dont loose focus after you get in tho… bad idea. enough of my rambling. good luck to all of you! keep me updated!</p>
<p>Two of my friends from NJ received their CMU decisions yesterday afternoon. One had applied to the School of Design (like me) and the other to Tepper. Both were rejected.</p>
<p>I’m very concerned about the SoD’s decision. That girl and I both did pre-college together this past summer, and she’d received better evaluations than I had. My academics and extra-curriculars are very strong, but I’m pretty sure my portfolio’s not that great, and the SoD counts these 50/50.</p>
<p>Two other pre-college friends also applied ED. One lives in NJ and the other lives in Ohio but neither have heard anything yet.</p>
<p>Now, the School of Design, according to their website, can take until January 15th instead of the standard December 15th to send out ED decision letters. So I e-mailed the Admissions office the day before yesterday with the following message:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Got this response yesterday afternoon:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Since I live in Texas, I’m assuming that means it’ll be here today or tomorrow (!).</p>
<p>I hope the January 15th thing doesn’t mean that they do it like a process of elimination and send out all the rejections first, because that means I’m pretty much screwed. There is also NO DEFERRAL for the School of Design. D:!</p>
<p><em>majorly freaking out</em> I’m so scaredddd!</p>
<p>I don’t /think/ so. At least not for the other schools. They’re required to get back to you by/around December 15th. If you get your letter a day ahead of the rest, I don’t think that means you’ve been rejected. They probably send the letters out by region or school, is what I’m guessing.</p>
<p>But I’m thinking, for me, with the School of Design, if they’d been uncertain whether I am what they want or not, they could’ve waited with sending me a decision because they can take until January 15th to get back to people. Which means that if they’re already getting back to me now, that either means they were very sure I am what they want, or very sure that I’m not what they want. Since I don’t think my portfolio was super, I’m betting that means I’m getting rejected. Which is supremely depressing.</p>
<p>I don’t know. I guess around 3 PM today when the mail arrives will be the moment of truth. =o!</p>
<p>Someone who applied to the School of Design got rejected from our school as well. However, I applied to Tepper and have not gotten word back. So, it’s not the school/region mailing theory. This has been the longest day ever. Tomorrow will be even worse.</p>
<p>Maybe they are just doing it by the schools? I have only heard from School of Design people on this forum. I already know I got accepted, but I have yet to recieve mail…</p>
No, we have also heard from Tepper and MCS people who have gotten their decisions. Anyway, it’s hard to judge because there are so few CMU ED applicants represented on here.</p>
<p>How do you know you got accepted and to which school??</p>
