I have been given admission too :)

It is provisional and I need to complete a calculus based probability course. Although I have already completed one at undergrad.

I think that the letter sent out was a standard letter to all persons admitted where we are asked to complete an online probability course as well as a math and computer science refresher course before entering the program.

My letter included scholarship info. I realize this is a first world problem, but I have to decide between Princeton and CMU with a substantial scholarship. Not sure what to do.

Regarding the c++ course, this is what the letter says:

"Your offer of admission is provisional upon your successful completion (with a grade of 'B' or better) of a full semester C or C++ programming course. This course should cover, at a minimum, the basics of the edit/compile/link process, writing and calling functions, pointers and array arithmetic, and memory allocation with malloc (C) or new (C++). You may take the programming class at any accredited college/university and the course must be completed by July 30, 2012."
