Hi alphawhiskey, when did you receive the waitlist email? I checked my application status and submitted the wl reply form on the decision day. But I only got several system generated emails when uploading new materials. I didn't interview before. Thank you!

Me too. Has anyone made a whatsapp/Line group for admits?

Hi everyone, I just wonder, for those of you who got waitlisted by CMU, did you receive an interview? When did you do that interview? Many thanks! Haven't got any thing from CMU yet...

No interview. Nothing.

I interviewed on March 16th. No update yet. So the interesting thing is they actually sent two version waitlist letters...

What do you mean by two versions?...

In your waitlist letter, they specify when you will be given an interview?

Seems like some ppl got interview invites as soon as submitting the wl reply form. Also some candidates who had been interviewed got wl.

What my friend got says little about the interview and says the final decision will be given anytime before August, while mine says "invite u to complete an interview" and 'if the interview done before 04/06, a final decision might be given before 04/15'

[subarashiii]

Were you interviewed before ?

No. I guess they won't process my materials before Apr 15.

 

[alphawhiskey]

No. I guess they won't process my materials before Apr 15.

So you're wait listed for round 1 with no interview?

 

[subarashiii]

So you're wait listed for round 1 with no interview?

Right

 

[alphawhiskey]

Right

Did you wait list specify by when will you get a decision?

 

[subarashiii]

Did you wait list specify by when will you get a decision?

Only ambiguous information.
In the letter: "Candidates may be admitted from the waitlist at any time up until the class arrives on campus in August. We will keep you updated at the decision notification date for each round."
In the faq: "Your application will be considered with those applying in the next round and an updated decision will be made on your application. Your updated decision will be released on or before the Round 2 Decision Notification date of May 10, 2018. You will receive an email on or before the 10th telling you to check your application for a new decision – it could be admit, deny or remain on the Waitlist."
