Graduate School Admission Results

No interview, received email to check online portal.

I was waitlisted and they informed me (via email) that they will not be able to make me an offer this year, despite my application being "worthy". Big suck.

Ignore the status; I still haven't heard. If anyone has any news and updates, please post. Thank you

To previous post I'm glad you reapplied and got good news. That does not excuse people sitting on multiple offers only to decline making it so late schools are not able to make offers to those on waitlists. So please decline peeps. You can at least narrow down to 1/2 + your waitlist. :)))

strong statement of purpose, 3 years of research exp, 3 strong recommendations all have PhDs in the field

I had an interview with one of their grad committee members back in February. They had kept me waitlisted until today, when I dropped them a mail about my status and their reply was "I'm afraid that we've reached our quota of admitted students so we won't be able to make any offers to people on the waitlist." So if you are waiting for CMU, it is better you look for alternative options.

Let's all calm down. No one is sitting on offers because they're greedy. More than likely, the applicants holding out are on waitlists themselves, so they can't safely decline their current offers. Also, for the record, it's false that no new pertinent information comes out this late in the cycle. I recieved a fellowship offer today that broke a four-way tie between schools that had accepted or waitlisted me, and I'll be withdrawing from three of them this afternoon. Moreover, choosing between schools is an intrinsically difficult and enormously consequential decision. Applicants have every right to take their time. (And, by the way, they have every right to negotiate for more funding. Doing a PhD is no walk in the park, financially speaking.) I understand how difficult it is to be without an offer: I recieved nothing but rejections when I applied back in 2021, and I was devastated. But I am happy to report that life goes on, and there will be more opportunities to apply. Be happy for the applicants with multiple offers. They probably all but killed themselves for the last four to six years to pull that off. Don't resent them for it. Take a deep breath, drink a glass of water, take a nap if you can, and find something meaningful to occupy you until next Saturday.
