^^^good luck! i will be submitting later this week!

Hi, It just stumbled to me that in the Application Instruction, Tepper required you to submit all the supporting materials via a regular mail. I think that this sounds a little unconventional - at least other schools I have applied so far wanted everything handled via their online application forms. Did I understand the instruction correctly that every applicant is required to send all the supporting materials via regular mail, in addition to the online application?

it is not surprise since some other schools require official scores and grades be sent by mail....

^^^not CMU though: from the app: You are required to upload a legible scanned/digitized copy of your transcripts and degree certificates (if the transcript is from a college or university outside the U.S.) indicating name, degree earned, and the date the degree was completed (if applicable) for each institution which you attended, beginning with the institution where you completed your undergraduate degree. If your transcript is in a language other than English, you must include an official translation. If you are unable to meet the above criteria, you may send an official transcript to the below address. Should you choose to do this, please upload a word document indicating you have mailed an official copy. You can upload one word document into the University/Institution #1 section.

I'm applying too Looking forward to my visit next month. Class2012 can I meet you?

I had an early interview (few weeks ago). It was pretty laid back and casual. Does anyone know if there's a limit on the length of the recommendation letter?
