Mark Your Calendars: April Visits Are Coming Soon!

At Carnegie Mellon, we're always excited to have future Tartans visit and explore all that our university has to offer! Admitted students can save the date to visit for our Turn Tartan Overnight on April 5-6 or for our Celebration of Diversity Weekend on April 4-6. Guests can meet other admitted students, current students, faculty and staff while learning more about the Carnegie Mellon community.

While all applicants will receive notice of these events, please note they are both for admitted students only. Students should not make travel arrangements before they've received their admission decisions and learned whether or not they've been accepted. Registration for these programs will be available late March.

LINFIELD COLLEGE

Greetings from Linfield, As always, we hope this email finds you well as we reach the halfway point for this academic year. We wanted to provide you a quick update on Linfield admission, and also share the message below that we sent out to all applicants who are still missing their mid-year report. That message is below, but the important part is we wish to receive updated transcripts by March 2. Students with updated transcripts received after March 2 will not be considered for possible scholarship increases. As a reminder, our Regular Decision priority deadline is Saturday, February 1. However, we will continue to accept applications after the deadline. We do encourage students to submit their applications as soon after the deadline as possible to ensure we are able to provide notification of admission, scholarship and financial aid with plenty of time before the May 1 matriculation fee deadline. If there is anything we can do to support you or your students in the college search and decision process, do contact us at 800-640-2287. Sincerely, Office of Admission Linfield College With your senior year halfway over and first semester finals likely completed, we'll need an updated transcript soon. As part of the admission process, we require an updated transcript for all students admitted prior to their seventh semester or tenth trimester. Once received, we review your transcript in order to do the following: Calculate Your GPA: We previously recalculated your GPA giving additional weight to AP, IB and dual enrollment courses. We'll update your GPA with your most recently completed term grades. Check Your Courses: To ensure you are continuing to prepare yourself for the rigors of Linfield, we'll review your most recent grades and verify you are continuing your previously planned schedule. Verify Your Scholarship: The Office of Admission shares all updated academic information with the Office of Financial Aid. If increases to your academic profile (GPA and test scores, if submitted) equate to a higher merit-based scholarship, you will be notified with an updated offer of financial aid. All applicant records will be reviewed once their transcript or scores are received. We do not reduce scholarships for minor decreases in academic profile. We request that your mid-year transcript is submitted online or through postal mail by Monday, March 2. If you plan to send updated SAT or ACT scores, official score reports must be received by March 2 in order to be considered for scholarship revisions. If you have questions regarding the submission of updated transcripts or test scores, please contact your admission counselor, Patrick Wilson at patrick.wilson@linfield.edu. Office of Admission Linfield College McMinnville, Oregon 800-640-2287 admission@linfield.edu
