What is the status of my application? When should I expect to receive a decision?
Every year the Graduate Admissions Staff receives hundreds of inquiries about the application process. The Graduate Admissions Committee begins reviewing applications shortly after the application deadline. Depending upon the number of applications received, this process can take several weeks. Please note that all applications are held for review until after the application deadline; thus, there are no early decisions except in the case of an extenuating circumstance . Please contact ce-admissions@cmu.edu should you have an extenuating circumstance which requires an early decision. Once your application has reviewed, online tracking will be updated. An email will be sent notifying you that your decision letter is available for view online. We typically do not send paper copies of the decision letter by post.
