UrbanWonk Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 There's been a flurry of accepts without a word for me (despite frequent checking of the website!). Am I the only one still waiting? Could it be alphabetical? I'm a Z...
fingerscrossedfrgradschool Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 i haven't heard back from them either!!!!! Hopefully they'll get back to the rest of us this week? gaah I just need to know already!
blah25982 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Nothing yet either. Last name begins with "C," so it's probably not an alphabetical issue.
skeedy Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 ME TOO!!!!!!! I caved in and called... And received the kind-but-generic reply that they have started notifying applicants about their statuses, but this process continues through March. I asked "March when?" (I know - so annoying - thank goodness it was an anonymous call so I didn't hurt my acceptance karma) and the reply was "through the end of March." I thought I was the only one who didn't receive notification at the end of February, and had almost given CMU up as a lost cause (rejection)... I'm glad I'm not alone in WAITING!
oracle88 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Hi , Does CMU send email with admission decision or one needs to login to 'Apply Yourself 'and check? I had submitted my app on Jan 10th ....no update yet ..

I had submitted my app on Jan 10th ....no update yet .. I received an email saying that a decision had been made and to view it I had to go Apply Yourself website and it had a link with the desicion letter.
aliicat11 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 There's been a flurry of accepts without a word for me (despite frequent checking of the website!). Am I the only one still waiting? Could it be alphabetical? I'm a Z... I called them last week because my boyfriend has to make decisions before me (including at CMU) because he is in the stats program and I need to know ASAP. They said they are notifying by email and snail mail on March 15th (this Tuesday). Maybe it will come out sooner, but definitely not later as I'm not sure why they would lie to me. Also, @UrbanWonk, I am a current undergrad at Brown in the Public Policy department, and I'd love to answer any questions you might have. Getting a fifth year Master's here is my back-up plan (I'm halfway through the Master's program already) and I'd love to give you straight answers on what it is like! fingerscrossedfrgradschool 1
nclex Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I'm still waiting...but I received an email from them today about filling out a FAFSA and applying for financial aid. I'm assuming this was just sent out to all applicants?

aliicat11 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Received the same email - I think you're right, all applicants received it AHHHHH, I didn't get that email. What does that mean!
fingerscrossedfrgradschool Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 AHHHHH, I didn't get that email. What does that mean! yeah didn't get that email either-- it's going to be a LOOONG weekend! :-/

aliicat11 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 anyone hear anything yet today? also, are we expecting an email or should i be checking the application page? I believe its an email telling you to check the application page. They said it would be up by tomorrow!
nclex Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 just got the email....i'm accepted!!! no idea how i'm going to decide.
skeedy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Just got mine too! Now I have a *little* more faith about U Mich taking their time with my letter as well... Heinz's $8,000 a semester is awesome, but with La Follette covering all of my tuition, I'm not sure that I can turn them down! DECISIONS!

skeedy Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I got $8,000 from CMU too...is that a semester or per year??? My letter says "per semester": You have been awarded the following merit-based financial support for your first semester. The financial support below is renewable for your remaining semesters of study, contingent on your continued high academic performance.
nclex Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 thats what mine said too...that part about "first semester" but i just wanted to check and make sure i was reading that correctly. thanks! i have no idea how i'm going to make my choice!
