honest vale
#

Is Greek life big in cmu

full sierra
#

uhhhh idk, it exists

#

not huge in Greek life

somber mango
#

stats ml is my second choice

#

whats the ece acceptance rate

honest vale
#

I didn't even like ml so I just yolod scs

somber mango
#

its probably like 15 or sum

#

yeah tbh i dont really wanna go to cmu for that eitherway

#

too expensive

full sierra
somber mango
#

makes sense tbh

full sierra
#

scs is 2-3 thodoomaw

somber mango
#

LOL

#

yea

full sierra
#

idk acceptance rates are kinda dumb

honest vale
#

Heard from my teacher that SCS loves USACO

somber mango
#

this is definitely multiple years old

honest vale
#

I did none

somber mango
#

so true

#

oh fr?

#

hmm

full sierra
#

CFA drama is cracked as fuck

somber mango
#

last year was odd

#

nobody knows

#

but im gonna put scs at like

#

5 percent

#

LOL

honest vale
#

They stopped releasing data?

full sierra
somber mango
#

so true tbh

#

ye

honest vale
#

Ok my copium is

#

If cmu didn't take me in ED 2

#

I would've avoided the cutthroat hell

somber mango
#

i wish they did

#

im tryna rizz up the interviewer

full sierra
#

ngl, with acceptance rates in this range I just wouldn't ever worry about the rate anymore

somber mango
#

^^

full sierra
#

it's all basically just luck at this point

honest vale
#

They accept initialview from intls

full sierra
#

lmao I'm a counterexample

somber mango
#

lowkey like im not super invested in CMU tbh, amazing school but im not super vested haha

full sierra
#

I'm so shit at math oml

honest vale
#

Don't y'all think initialview is very iffy

somber mango
#

umass on the other HAND

#

i will cry if umass reject me

honest vale
#

Every counselor seems to have something good to say about initialview

full sierra
#

770 troll and I didn't even submit anyways lmao

honest vale
#

Yet there are few colleges that actually say they review them

somber mango
#

what was ur english @full sierra

#

did i make a mistake submitting my 1540?

full sierra
#

730...

somber mango
#

my friend also got in t/o

#

its not that deep

honest vale
#

Isn't SAT math not even hard

somber mango
#

im 770/770, im regretting submitting a little bit

#

ugh

full sierra
#

bruh 1540 is nailing the sat score range

somber mango
#

wdym?

#

oh fuck scs

#

skill issue

#

khoury > cmu scs

honest vale
#

Maybe love as in they weed out every applicant lower than 1540

somber mango
#

northeastern supremacy

#

okay but idk why im crying about my SAT lmao

honest vale
#

I doubt they'll look a 1600 higher than a 1540 though

somber mango
#

my gpa is 3.67

full sierra
#

oh idk anyone who actually got higher than like 1570?, well I haven't asked at least

somber mango
icy egret
#

i had a panic attack when i saw the cmu scs median sat 😭

somber mango
#

LOL

#

so true

icy egret
#

but ay defer > rejekt

full sierra
#

who knows

icy egret
#

tru

somber mango
#

but i doubt its as inflated as other schools

icy egret
#

oh u wanna know smt funny actually

somber mango
#

what

icy egret
#

so the first time i took my sat

#

i didnt rly study

#

so i was like damn

#

then i

#

studied a lot

somber mango
#

and got 1530?

icy egret
#

and i retook it and was like wow ima increase my score so much

icy egret
#

💀

somber mango
#

oh

icy egret
#

and cmu makes u send all scores

#

😭

somber mango
#

thats such a SAT moment

#

its okayyyy

#

10 point hurt nobody

honest vale
#

I got a 31 the first time

#

Don't know if that's gonna fuck me over

icy egret
#

31/1600?!?!?

honest vale
#

ACT

full sierra
#

first day of this class we had this happen

crossposted from '25 but
today during po lecture he was trying to move the lecturer computer cart thingy and he bumped it trying to move it and it started making a terrible static noise
and he was trying to fix it and went "aw darn, its locked, i can't get in there to fix it" and a kid was like "its ok! i can pick locks! i need 2 paperclips"
so the kid squats there and picks the lock for 15 mins while po lectures and then suddenly he gets it open. then when po was squatting next to the cart fixing the static the kid stood next to the board and started giving his OWN lecture about lockpicking and why that lock was super annoying to pick

icy egret
#

good news is i got 800 math both times

somber mango
#

i went 1520 to 1540, but my math dropped 10 points; so i have a 1550 superscore technically

#

but it dont matter much

honest vale
#

The next two times are 35 and 36

icy egret
#

DAMN

somber mango
#

OKAY

icy egret
#

thats such a slay

honest vale
#

So maybe that's an upward trend

somber mango
#

SHEEEESH

icy egret
#

wagadoogy

somber mango
#

bestie ur 36 act

full sierra
#

most of the people I know with ACT scores have 36's tho...

somber mango
#

ofc it upward

icy egret
#

bffr

honest vale
somber mango
icy egret
#

u guys r such a2c'ers

somber mango
#

based

somber mango
icy egret
#

yall are downplaying a mf 36

#

be so for real

somber mango
#

nobody is

#

36 is amazing

icy egret
somber mango
#

wtf

honest vale
#

36 is basically average for SCS

somber mango
#

damn

honest vale
#

Well I don't want to flex but I got 36-36-36

icy egret
#

does it matter even u have a 800 math

honest vale
#

So I'm in average!!

icy egret
#

🙁

#

i got a 1080

somber mango
#

why are you so deadset on this

honest vale
#

Oh I see

somber mango
#

a 36-36-36 is the best fucking score you can get

#

i swear

full sierra
#

idk everyone here has more than test scores (if they have any test scores at all) like everyone has some cool AF project they worked on or some dope internship, so like it's not all grades. honestly I think your time is better spent on the cool projects and research and actually fun and cool stuff

icy egret
#

ong

honest vale
#

Yeah and they're much more fun too

icy egret
#

research is so fun

#

but i think ima end up in industry

full sierra
#

like one of my friends has no test score, no aps, no nothing, but got into scs because she was cracked fuck at emails and cold emailed her way into a Harvard bio lab

somber mango
somber mango
icy egret
#

😋 🙏

somber mango
full sierra
#

also I will have more respect for you if you did a cool project than a good test score

honest vale
somber mango
#

so true

#

i need that spencilian approval

full sierra
honest vale
#

I don't really know if research will be my thing at college

#

Like i did this small project and it felt really cool

#

But I'm not sure if I can survive full blown research

full sierra
#

in this economy research might just be your best option

#

oh yeah y'all have to start worrying about the fucking economy in college

#

shits wack

#

I feel old

honest vale
#

Aren't you like

#

Freshman

full sierra
full sierra
icy egret
#

im just

#

bad at essays

somber mango
honest vale
#

At wacky startups

full sierra
somber mango
#

freshman usually have little experience?

#

is that why they dont get internships?

#

idfk

#

why that is

icy egret
#

im just gonna say they deferred me bc they wanted to see if my paper was accepted or not

full sierra
icy egret
#

and once i submit loci

full sierra
#

I can sell my soul later

icy egret
#

they will seee omg paper accetpted firestar is so hot and sexy he should join scs

#

or rahter

full sierra
honest vale
#

What was your paper on

icy egret
#

"omg firestar has no life needs to touch grass he fits in at scs"

icy egret
#

no supervisor and machine learning is a little kid running around unsupervised

wait why is the reaction on this thread MIT???

#

lmaoooo

honest vale
#

Of course it's ML

Just I'm not interested in ML

@SCS U SEE THIS???

somber mango

honest vale
#

Now come and read our textbook

icy egret
full sierra
icy egret
#

ml research is just atking smt else n making it better

#

mine was like

full sierra
#

and the other was of using ai is just puzzle pieces in python

potent charm
#

ml is overrated

icy egret
#

ml + cybersecurity in a way (?)

full sierra
#

oooooo

#

ok now that's interesting

icy egret
#

YES

#

SEE

#

ML SO SLAY

honest vale
icy egret
#

💀

full sierra
#

damn y'all know about z3 already

#

sheeesh

#

touch grass

honest vale
#

It's used in refinement types so

#

I kind of heard about it

icy egret
#

wait what is PLT

#

like

#

what does it mean

full sierra
#

type theory is funky tho

honest vale
#

The theory of programming languages

icy egret
#

thank you 🙏 that tells me so muhc

honest vale
#

Ikr

full sierra
#

have you made any programming langs or compilers or whatnot?

honest vale
#

Including correctness, performance, security and what not

icy egret
#

icic

icy egret
#

that sounds uper cool

honest vale
#

Like you know that hot new language called rust

icy egret
#

💀

honest vale
#

It has something called affine types for memory management

#

That is PLT stuff

full sierra
somber mango
#

been a minute since rust

honest vale
#

Haskell is a very fun language, on the other hand

somber mango
full sierra
#

innocenteyes functional

icy egret
#

best language is R

somber mango
#

no

#

ewww

#

out

full sierra
#

ew r

icy egret
#

all my homies got RStudio fired up 😂

somber mango
#

LOL

full sierra
#

my condolences

Io

full sierra
icy egret
#

the only reason i was interested in machine learning is bc it was the only overlap of calc 3 and cs i could find 🥲

honest vale
icy egret
#

or calc in general*

honest vale
#

Also Ocaml only just got multi threading so L

full sierra
full sierra
honest vale
#

Have you seen jane street post on their Twitter something along the lines of

full sierra
#

I don't pay too much attention to it I just like it as a meme language

honest vale
#

"We love python!"

full sierra
#

I don't have Twitter lol

full sierra
honest vale
full sierra
#

sml doomaw

#

pretty sure compilers is taught in ocaml tho

#

sponsored by Jane street troll

honest vale
#

Well writing compilers in Ocaml is at least better than C++

full sierra
#

honestly it's not very hard to be better than c++ in specific ways

#

c++ is so wack

honest vale
#

I'll go as far as saying it's better than Java

#

But maybe not kotlin

icy egret
#

i know like

#

java python c++

#

and R

#

🥲

full sierra
honest vale
#

I can only think of C# off the top of my head

#

Ofc Haskell and Ocaml are of this category too

full sierra
#

idk I'm engineering so I'm waaaay more on the practical side than the theoretically stuff lol

honest vale
#

I can't really stand dynamic typing, though

full sierra
honest vale
#

I think these theoretical properties of programming languages affect practical usage too

#

To some degree

full sierra
#

js and python are super nice for quick hackathon things

honest vale
#

For example garbage collection means you don't need to worry about allocation and freeing

#

Or any memory bugs because of that

full sierra
#

yeah programming lang improvements have mostly been trying to find ways to have less brain overhead when programming

honest vale
#

And also retain performance, in many cases

#

Python clearly doesn't care about performance

full sierra
#

yeah

#

it's getting better tho

honest vale
#

I remember it expressly doesn't support tail call optimization

full sierra
#

it's trade off between how long it takes to develop vs how fast the program runs

honest vale
#

Because the creator wants it to have better backtraces

full sierra
honest vale
#

On the other hand I heard v8 pretty much optimizes everything, which makes js magnitudes faster than python

full sierra
#

yeahhhhh v8 is

#

I have opinions

#

why on earth did we have to optimize the shit out of the worst possible language

honest vale
#

And it had to perform type speculation because

#

It's fking dynamic typed

full sierra
#

I'm hoping webasm stuff means that we won't have to deal with js eventually

honest vale
#

I didn't really follow up on that front

full sierra
#

but it's still slow compared to the optimized js lmao

honest vale
#

I heard rust can compile to wasm now?

full sierra
#

yeah

woeful forge
#

Bob the builder can we fix it bob the builder yes we can!

full sierra
honest vale

Ok that was some nice CMU style nerd conversation

full sierra

yeah lmao

I've been involved in this twice now

ohhhh shit I have 9 am tomorrow

yall are my competition tf

#

bad luck troll

whole goblet
#

i need sleep

tulip rune
#

Yes spill

#

(I applied ED2 so I need a reason to cope just in case)

#

Also I legit have a downward trend in ACT scores, but I still sorta sent them in bc between 3 sittings, I have done decent in all sections

crude barn
# tulip rune Yes spill

if you have high-achieving friends, they will be very, very busy. if there isn't a set reason to meet people (clubs, classes, greek life), a lot of people tend to flake/not be often free

#

though that is a problem for any university with difficult curriculums and overachievers I suppose

tulip rune
#

do they just like spend all day doing work or something

crude barn
#

other not so fun sides? mmh dating pool is kinda mid (esp if ur looking for decent men hehe)

tulip rune
#

:lmao: I'm lookin for women but ye

crude barn
#

hmm not sure if there's any other big negatives

tulip rune
#

I see

crude barn
#

there's the stereotype of depressed kids

tulip rune
#

if I don't intend on doing greek life, will I miss out on a big social part of my life

crude barn
#

but that's more just overwork -- most bounce back instantly moment break starts

tulip rune
#

which school are you in btw

#

within cmy

#

cmu

crude barn
#

tepper and scs

tulip rune
#

Oh are you double majoring?

crude barn
#

yes

tulip rune
#

That's sick

#

how's the workload kek

crude barn
#

manageable

tulip rune
#

I see

#

Tepper's building is gorgeous

woeful forge
tulip rune
#

When i toured... I was like - why can't the CoE be pretty like this kek

crude barn
#

it is! i do wish they had more tables + chairs & chargers though

tulip rune
crude barn
#

sometimes practicality is more useful than beauty

tulip rune
#

Yep

woeful forge
crude barn
tulip rune
tulip rune
crude barn
#

I will say that choosing to rush a greek org is a very personal decision

#

most people do it because they had an orientation counselor or upperclassman friend in one they look up to

tulip rune
#

Makes sense

crude barn
#

or because they heard being part of a certain org will give them perks

tulip rune
crude barn
#

I'll be honest I don't know about other universities

#

but frat guys at cmu do not have rizz

tulip rune
#

💀 :lmao:

crude barn
#

they are genuinely so rizzless it's a crime

tulip rune
#

lmaooo

#

fr

woeful forge
#

(Kidding)

tulip rune
#

I certainly can't be a frat guy then
(not kidding)

crude barn
#

some fraternities also have... some genuinely bad reputations and there will be jokes about SA (some perhaps true) associated with them

tulip rune
#

SA?

#

oh

#

yeah

woeful forge
tulip rune
#

yikes

bitter fog
#

what about musicians coming to perform at cmu?

#

is there a good lineup or are they mid

crude barn
#

personally I have mixed feelings about this -- obviously there are communities that practice less safety measures, but at the end of the day it is fraternities that offer the most open parties for general students

bitter fog
#

or do none come

crude barn
#

uh we try -- budget isn't the biggest since it's mostly dependent on school size but we get some good indie bands and ppl before they blow up

tulip rune
#

ooh that's cool

bitter fog
#

any notable ones who recently came

#

or any you're proud of bringing

crude barn
#

hmm I'm proud of Cupkakke

bitter fog
#

YOU GOT CUPCAKKE????

#

im sold

#

cmu please accept

woeful forge
#

What actually happens at parties

crude barn
#

but we had Phoebe Bridgers a long time ago I think?

#

biggest one i can think of

bitter fog
#

zamnnnnnn

crude barn
#

jealous my friends over at Cal got her recently since their budget is like 5x ours

tulip rune
#

sheeesh

tulip rune
crude barn
tulip rune
#

i heard cal has a ton of budgetary problems

crude barn
#

oh i mean Cal as in UC Berkeley

tulip rune
#

yeah

spiral laurel
#

How is cmu engineering

tulip rune
#

berkeley has a ton of budget problems

#

apparently

crude barn
#

eh they always do

tulip rune
#

yeahh

crude barn
#

public school problems dogekek

tulip rune
#

true

tulip rune
crude barn
spiral laurel
#

Uhh like courseload

#

Ik engineering is generally terrible on that regard

#

But cmu seems fun

crude barn
#

hmm they have a new track if I remember correctly

#

it's like the same topics but each year they go like one level deeper

#

is there a specific major you're looking at?

spiral laurel
#

I applied undecided

#

😭

#

I want to add bme to whatever im doing

bitter fog
#

how stressful is scs

spiral laurel
bitter fog
#

ik ur doing double major but if u were only single major in scs how hard do you think that would be

#

like are you able to party, make friends, game, etc

#

or is it constant work until u die

spiral laurel
#

Make friends LMAO

bitter fog
#

does cmu scs kill your rizz

crude barn
#

the thing is that a lot of people in scs simply don't have those as very high priorities

bitter fog
#

🗿

crude barn
#

you may have to find a friend group outside of the major if you're thinking about getting wasted every weekend

bitter fog
#

well not every weekend

#

but once a month would be nice

crude barn
#

i think the majority of friend groups I know have a healthy sampling of people from different schools and backgrounds

bitter fog
#

oh so its easy to bond across schools?

crude barn
#

only majors that significantly affect social life are theatre and architecture

bitter fog
#

like lots of intersect and stuff

crude barn
#

i mean it's all on the same campus

bitter fog
#

ya but like

crude barn
#

sure you won't be taking identical classes prob but besides that there's no reason why you can't be friends with someone else

bitter fog
#

ik some schools have dorms dedicated to one school and stuff

#

or floors for one major

#

which might hamper that

crude barn
#

god imagine that

#

a dorm of just scs students

#

i'd asphyxiate

somber mango
#

A quiet dorm

bitter fog
#

😭

crude barn
#

but not it's not like that -- the campus promotes intersectionality and all that jazz

bitter fog
#

ok thats nice

crude barn
#

tbh i think most ppl end up being fed up with ppl from their major (especially smaller ones)

#

since you have them in literally every class every year and you'd rather not see them out of the lecture hall at some point

somber mango
crude barn
somber mango
#

LOL

bitter fog
#

if u know anything about people majoring in artificial intelligence

#

how would u describe them

somber mango
#

I didn't know that was a major

bitter fog
#

🗿

somber mango
#

Stats ML?

crude barn
#

normal? most pick it because they took some ML courses and thought it'd look better on their resume

somber mango
#

OH artificial intelligence

#

My bad I forgot

bitter fog
#

as long as they're normal 🙏

crude barn
#

i know it's a full track they're opening up now so likely will be a lot more students studying it

somber mango
#

Yepp

crude barn
#

though it's a bit restrictive? so likely more studious

#

if you're looking for your party squad maybe not the first place i'd scout

#

but each person is different

bitter fog
#

wdym by more restrictive

#

like harder to get in to?

jagged flume
#

i emailed a cmu professor about their research and they still have not responded (its been 3 weeks)

crude barn
somber mango
bitter fog
#

true true

somber mango
#

It's gonna be just as difficult as cs

#

Basically

crude barn
#

a bit harder i'd say

somber mango
#

Honestly yeah

bitter fog
#

🗿

crude barn
bitter fog
#

i do be struggling

#

oh well

#

glad to hear good things about cmu

#

i was a lil worried cause this is the tiniest school i applied to

crude barn
#

whoah 14k is the least?

bitter fog
#

wtf cmu is 14k???

#

when i looked i saw cmu as like 6k 🗿

#

in that case its not the least

#

mit would be the least at like 10-12k

crude barn
#

think they're 11k

bitter fog
#

yeah so mit is the tiniest

#

bruh

#

why tf google tell me cmu was 5k

crude barn
#

makes caltech sound so scary

#

when u consider they're 2.2k troll

woeful forge
#

I think cmu only has like 500 spots for cs tho right

bitter fog
#

🗿

#

thats why i didn't apply to caltech

#

that is way too small

#

also i realized i searched up undergrad population instead of total troll

crude barn
woeful forge
#

That’s way less than I thought

tulip rune
#

hi again

woeful forge
#

And also it’s 50% men 50% women right

#

So I only have 125 spots I can get into

tulip rune
#

wait lemme check something for you

crude barn
#

i'm not sure if that a perfect way to view it

#

otherwise you'd then split by state and race and income level and end up with some random number

woeful forge
#

Well I mean those aren’t hard quotas right

tulip rune
#

SCS had about 8K applicants last year with a 7% acceptance rate

#

(0.07*8000)/2 is how many spots there are for you

woeful forge
#

When I went to the info session they said they make sure to keep pretty much equal of each gender

crude barn
#

gender isn't either -- I think a few years back we had more women than men and it was a big news thing

tulip rune
#

and divide even more if you want to include race

woeful forge
bitter fog
tulip rune
#

for engineering

#

we got

#

10k applicants, 20% acceptance rate

#

so 2000 seats

#

1000 for males presumably

woeful forge
tulip rune
#

and I wonder how many for asians

woeful forge
#

That’s super high

tulip rune
#

a huge majority come in through ED

#

lemme show the stats

woeful forge
#

Ah

tulip rune
#

this was on the website

Screen_Shot_2023-01-21_at_2.09.38_PM.png
#

and got taken down a little bit ago i think

#

oh also it's not last year 💀

#

it's 2 years ago

crude barn
#

that was my year!

#

they've never released per-college stats since?

tulip rune
crude barn
#

whoah ED really is a bigger percent than i thought

#

for CMU you can't back out of ED even if your aid package is too low

#

so its ez stonks for them ig

#

i didn't know anyone who got in ED from my hs

#

so I assumed it wasn't a common thing

tulip rune

i am like 99% sure that it will release jan 28 9am

#

i dont have a source for this and its sorta pure speculation but

#

theyve released on saturday 9am for like everything in the past

#

and also even if jan 28 is quite far before the "by feb 1" they also said by dec 15 for ed1 and released on dec 10 (a saturday)

#

@crude barn thoughts on clubs and stuff? are there like a ton of clubs (any youre in and like highly recommend?) and is there really the time for them
sorry for bombarding w questions im just kinda curious bc yea

smoky shore
#

How feasible gettinf into CMU-Q is

#

Cuz apparently they are fully need blind there even for intls (?)

#

My ass got whooped by the early round so my confidence in my app just plummeted

tulip rune
#

probably mid-feasible on a scale from not feasible to feasible

That's a good scale

#

Is CMU-Q even gonna look at my app with this mid-ass GPA of mine though?

#

4.3/5.0 UW GPA makes me cry

#

Weighted is probably a ton higher because I'm full IB but no one cares T^T

oh

guys did you submit SAT

but i was very much in the sat range

#

so im not a very good example

vernal sapphire
#

damn

#

does sat weigh a lot?

brisk pier
#

Not as much as it used to

#

But it can help if you have a good SAT score

#

But it also depends on the school

icy egret
#

ive opened my cmu decision 18 times

PNG_image.png
#

lol.

smoky shore
#

1560+?

#

Their mid range is around a 1510 isn't it?

brisk pier
#

Yeah

smoky shore
#

Yeah I'm fucked lmao

#

1510 SAT

brisk pier
#

But definitely on the higher end for courses like cs

smoky shore
#

Doesn't help my case at all

#

Yeah, CS is competitive is all hell man

#

Just hoping it's easier in Qatar

#

Is like

#

being in the midrange

#

Worth sending then, for CS

#

Like normally I'd send it cause "Well that means I'm like the average student they would admit, which is pretty good"

#

But for CS it's prolly like fuckin

#

1550

ember obsidian
#

i submitted a 1470 to eng im even more fucked. i got 800 math which isn't even that impressive for cmu but at least i did well on the more important section.

ember obsidian
# smoky shore 1560+?

nah 1510 should be about average. 1480 is 25th percentile and 1560 is 75th percentile.

smoky shore
#

I am a dumb fuck I am not even gonna lie

ember obsidian
#

and based on their cds a good chunk of admitted students did not submit

And another one idk tbh
