lemur Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) I know of at least one person at my school who received a full funding offer from CMU ECE over e-mail. However, once the FedEx letters were sent out, his letter said he was admitted conditionally upon receiving an external fellowship. They're now telling him they're sorry for the clerical mistake... This story is almost unbelievable to me. How could they screw something up that badly? Has this happened to anyone else? Edited February 18, 2010 by lemur

I feel terrible for them, I can only hope it works out in the end or that they found some other program.

It's not a matter of them having trouble getting in anywhere. Edited February 18, 2010 by lemur
