How to check my application status at Carnegie Mellon?

I'm feeling a little jittery while waiting for responses from colleges, and I'm trying to figure out where I am in the application process for Carnegie Mellon. Anyone know how I can check?

You can check your application status for Carnegie Mellon by logging into their portal. You should have received login credentials for this portal via an email after you submitted your application.

Once you sign in, you'll be able to view details about the status of your application components, like your transcripts, test scores, essays, and recommendation letters. They will either show as 'received' or 'not received.' If any pieces are missing or not marked as received yet, you may want to follow up with your high school guidance counselor, college counselor, or with the testing agency (for the SAT/ACT score) if it's relevant.

The portal will also provide any updates about your admission decision once it's available. Bear in mind that this tool doesn't give specifics about where you stand in terms of getting accepted or not. It simply confirms receipt of your application materials and notifies you of your admission status once a decision has been reached.

Don't worry if your components don't get marked as received immediately after submission. Sometimes it takes a while for the system to update, especially when lots of students are submitting at once. But if it's been more than a few weeks, do follow up to ensure there were no issues.

Also, remember that admission decisions won't be out for a while, especially if you applied regular decision. Carnegie Mellon usually sends out its decisions in late March. So, take a deep breath and try to stay patient. It's a stressful time, but hang in there!
