I’m confused about the priority waitlist. My waitlist letter gives me an option to be on the priority or regular wait list. If you choose priority waitlist, it says that you are saying that CMU is your first choice and that you will enroll if accepted and post a non-refundable $800 deposit. This is not really a binding commitment, is it? Does everyone who only applied to one CMU college get this option to be on the priority list or are certain candidates selected to have the priority waitlist option?
