Official Rd Results - Fall 2008

<p>i don’t think so. someone in another thread didn’t have one and still got in.</p>

<p>blank line? what do you mean?</p>

<p>^check out the other thread- there was a helluva discussion abt blankline and connection and stuff.
Ah well i think i we are all getting too panicky.</p>

<p>the blank line with a date under “Admission Documents Received” i’m guessing.</p>

<p>i heard that NU messed up the decisions really badly. apparently, all the rejected students were told they were accepted and the really accepted students weren’t notified.</p>

<p>not that i’m suggesting CMU did the same thing.</p>

<p>wow^ thats cruel</p>

<p>i have a dotted line…</p>

<p>nu as in northwestern?</p>

<p>yea.
10char</p>

<p>wow, that must’ve sucked…were the decisions reversed?</p>

<p>one of my friends got an acceptance message in the morning and a rejection message in the evening :(</p>

<p>if cmu’s decisions are anything like that…</p>

<p>Accepted HSS!</p>

<p>i found it interesting how there was no “congratulations” or anything…just a little box with the word “Accept” in it LOL</p>

<p>Yeah it’s really underwhelming. Especially for us early decision people who have only gotten a tiny letter asking for our deposit fee. :p</p>

<p>Can’t wait to get our fat acceptance packet.</p>

<p>These decisions are giving me hope for next year :D</p>

<p>anyone get rejected with good stats?</p>

<p>btw, @nalydylan: you didn’t take physics or chem SAT II and you got into CIT?</p>
