- Notes
- CMU was my dream school, and I got the hint that I hadn't got in ages ago, but I wanted to post something for posterity: CMU is not a signatory of the CGS resolution, and therefore sends out accepts/rejects whenever it pleases. The Admissions Office is a shambles, and replies to all messages at all stages with a stock e-mail and nothing else, and no-one answers the phone. There is no online tracking system, and only two e-mails were sent to me all through the process (not even a receipt of the money!) I applied to 6 top ten programs, and can say without a doubt that CMU was the most annoying of the lot. If you have to choose between here and somewhere else of comparable rank to apply to next year, I'd advise you to pick the other one until CMU get their house in order
